Blimey Freddy - we're in danger of being mistaken for Cameron and Clegg if you keep that up! :-)

Yes troyzgod - this guy actually does the full monty in that they take clients in and bother make and fit the implants as dental technicians and dentist but yes, 55K is probably more the dentists fee but whatever, implants seem to increase the technicians margins by some way, looking at this guy's house and the cars he's driving. I actually design and print his brochures and pricelists so gleaned my info there.

I can't guess what they are at but the fact implants increase the margins and directors have been buying recently (Chairman bought nearly 1m not long ago and increased his holding by about 700%) suggests there's good things going on imo. The implant margins might be the catalyst perhaps? The guy I know is now like a one stop shop - dentists and technician all in-house - perhaps that's a route FDT might be taking if I think out loud.

Will find out before long I guess will results not far off.

Testing the recent highs here.

No, I'm saying I've seen punters lose money following him as much as make money.

Said it here too well befoe he sold:



I saw him do badly in Sherwood International that became Intimas, there's been loads of other bad ones as well as good.

As for this sell, it looks like he added a chunk to what he already had before the trading statement then sold them straight after - nice if you're that lucky, and he is still holding. But I definitely wouldn't follow him blindly.

I've held FDT before, I've a mate who sold out to Benchmark wo FDT took over. I do know a bit about their past. The problem has been they buy up businesses at way to high a figure and later on the owners leave and start up elsewhere.

I'm prepared to take a punt that with the director changes here and the director buying plus the particular Chairman they can run this business as a good high growth business for 3-4 years. I'll be out in three years I suspect as I don't believe this model can work long term but as a start up or recovery they tend to outperform strongly imo.

We'll see - Gyllenhammer is an irrelevance to my decission.

This was run down so you would salivate at the 4p they wanted to offer, FDT have said to offer 5p to get majority support (worth a lot more)

They are proceeding with the 8p bid. See the twitch up today. Why else would FDT firm so much today?

I'll need to see the figures before passing judgement on the future for FDT - whilst expectations may not be met, if they are profitable and have a sound cash position then there's no reason why they shouldn't survive.

Taken fdt off my radar. It is too small and illiquid a share to trade.

The person who bought £9000 worth on 23rd, bought a bear market relief rally and gave a chance for even smaller punters to get out.

Jon,

In brief said...
"Big cost savingsstarting to improve profitability despite disappointing sales growth, mainly due to NHS payment system changes and delays in growth of more lucrative higher margin private work. Figures have also been helped by a slowdown in capex and a reduction in debtor days.

Hence, FDT claim to be slicker. Sales growth is needed and FDT hope their eTeeth system will begin to generate sales.

FDT are the only quoted company in the Uk with a makt share > 5%. As competitors fare less well, they are inundated by acqn oppos.

In summary, FDT's rehab is proving a hard slog, but it's getting there.

Could it be some CGT planning? Coming to end of tax year and losses on FDT could be realised? Just hope the investors come back in 30 days!

My Dentist tells me that he does not want a personal service. With less staff and more patients to see what he needs is a quality, efficient and most importantly a competitive service. He recently changed to 1st Dental and providing the quality remains good he is unlikely to change back to his previous supplier.

FDT have had a bit of a rocky ride but I believe that we can expect to see the shares back up to 30p+ in the short term.
