Arko Share Discussion Threads

Good news. Surprised this didn't bounce today. At the end of the day, things aren't that bad. Ok, the major shareholder is in prison, but they have a profitable cash generative business with assets.

[damanko] 01/10/2008 08:55

Yes, should be suspended from today, in the absense of any news. ARKO will then have one month (I think) in which to appoint a NOMAD. If/when they do, the suspension will be lifted, if not - delisted.

With the unusual activity in the last couple of months, I'm thinking along the lines that another NOMAD will be dragged in from somewhere. After all, they get a fee, we have to presume the accounts are currently under scrutiny.

Then, we just need ten years of upward growth in turnover & profit. As you can see, for a shareholder in ARKO (of 5 years+) its important to have a sense of humour.........

Looks like suspension tomorrow.

[damanko] 23/9/2008 10:01

topvest, you may be right. Another awful day on the markets appears likely (unless Wall Street opens sharply higher).

Meanwhile it looks as though somebody, somewhere - has bought some ARKO shares. Though, again - small beer, in terms of numbers. As I've said before, I have written my investment in ARKO off, some time ago. Though I couldn't be bothered to actually sell them. So you never know..........

[topvest] 22/9/2008 20:46

Results ok. Not a totally lost cause here, given underlying business is profitable and cash generative. Just need a replacement NOMAD now.

[moormoney] 10/9/2008 20:33

well well! I hope it continues.don/t think I'll average down though.

[damanko] 10/9/2008 12:34

Very strange, as you say. More buying today.... perhaps a few more people should resign...?

In any case, the last few trades appear to have been buys. Though, in the bigger picture, very small beer. Still, where there's hope.....

[damanko] 10/9/2008 07:13

Unfortunately - yes. Though (mentally, at least), I wrote the investment off a few years ago.

[moormoney] 09/9/2008 20:09

very strange--the nomad resigns and the share price goes up! I've sat on this dog for years I hope better news is around the corner---anyone else in this one?

[safman] 25/6/2008 13:07

tightest spread i've seen in a while.. 0.40 to buy and sell @ 0.38... perhaps someone could take out the entire operations of arko..?

saffy....

[safman] 25/6/2008 13:00

yep.. tis a little blue today...

saffy..

[damanko] 18/6/2008 13:01

Hm, some activity afoot..... volume over 250,000 today, looking like buys. very unusaul for ARKO, heaviest day of trades since last July, it seems.

[damanko] 17/6/2008 12:17

Those .... were the "latest" director dealings. Some decent activity today though, no doubt us private investors will be made aware why. Eventually .....

looking hopeful!

[double6] 05/6/2008 11:57

Have they had any positive RNS like AKO ??

Think not ??

[tornadodown] 05/6/2008 11:55

Very pleased to see the rise today and even happier as boughtin first thing. On a serious not the real next winner could be PAA. Excellent little company which has been way oversold.

[neguss3] 05/6/2008 11:51

CAPT will jump in price just like this

[double6] 05/6/2008 11:36

Always has been a highly volatile stock!!

[safman] 05/6/2008 09:24

saffy..

[safman] 05/6/2008 09:19

saffy..

From last results: "Apart from the new 45t/45m rail-mounted gantry crane reported in my chairman's
statement of 31 December 2006, construction of another two gantry cranes of a
similar size is under way and we have placed an order for three 45-tons quayside container cranes in August. Completion of the construction of the new rail as well as the renovation of the quayside will substantially increase the capacity of the terminal and we are therefore optimistic about the growth in the operation of the terminal in the years to come."

Yesterday's Market cap is under £4m bears no relevance to true market value imho.

Been marked down such a lot on terribly thin trading and you can buy so little online. Answer with this one is to build up a stake in small parcels then sit back and wait for the next results announcement.
