A good and fair answer Picobird. But don't assume everyone who has sold knows nothing, people have their reasons.

[brando69] 11/4/2014 17:57

if you were to take a long term view, you might think that the share price was at the bottom of a third wave of rises...

[werty5] 11/4/2014 17:54

Brando69 What I do when I buy a share is set a intended realistic profit target which I think can be acheived this must not be less than 20% to make the risk involved worth it. I also at the same time set a stop limit which I usually set at between -10 to -15% and never over -20% the way I fine tune the stop limit is to look at resistance points on the chart data and set just below these by maybe 1% if this limit is reached I cut off the share no matter how much I think I know or how much I like the company. Many a time I get trades wrong and this is my fail safe. When I sell a share which I have got wrong such as Anite I always look for a new signal to buy back in and try again which might either be a new upward trend or a trading statement etc.... I also set a three strikes and your out policy so if I trade a share and get it wrong 3 times I do not attempt it again (Anite is on two strikes)I find that this stops me from getting over emotional about a share. If on the other hand a share reaches my 20% target it will be then that I look at the share and see if I think it has further to go. However you are correct I did in the earlier days of my trading make the mistake of holding a downward share for too long and I have fine tuned what I do now by making that mistake. Everyone has their own methods of trading and as I said on my previous post perhaps Picobird has a reason for holding for so long and I would not be critical of that but on the other hand picobird should not say that everyone who has sold has got it wrong, in fact I will think you will find many such as myself are just waiting for a good new entry point. Hope I have not bored everyone too much.

PS never fall in love with a share the only reason we are all investing in shares is to make some money and if a company does not do that then sell it.

The price fall over the last year does not reflect on the company but on the markets. I have no intention of selling My Anite shares as I know they will go on to even higher highs. During this time the company has become stronger by developing new technology.
I am satisfied with the performance of the company in difficult market conditions for the whole sector. The price fall has been out of proportion to the quarterly results as well. It is my opinion that the trading for the year will be at the lower end of expectations.
The company is always a potential take over target & I do not intend to watch the company being taken over but be a participating shareholder. I have held too long to lose out.
Also, when I finally sell Anite I have no intention of putting my funds back into the markets. So to that end I have been happy to hold & wait for an upturn.
You could argue that when the 50 day moving average dropped below the 200 day moving average that I should have sold. To me TA has it's limitations & when you know a company so well there seems little point in 'tempting sods law'.
No one can accurately predict price movements although TA helps.
You plot your chosen course of action & stick to it especially when the fundamentals of a company are getting stronger regardless of the share price dropping because of change in an unpredictable market.
Right now the markets are expanding for Anite into adjacent sectors & I look forward to reaping those benefits.
At no time during this price fall have any of the 10 brokers put out 'a sell' statement as far as I can recall. The brokers have access to market demand figures for the future in this sector, that research comes at a price.
Hindsight is a wonderful thing but none of us can predict the future otherwise we would all be millionaires.
This company is as solid as a rock & I am very happy to watch based on the fundamentals & not on share fluctuations.

it's not being shorted
there haven't been any downgrades
there hasn't been any bad news from the company

[brando69] 11/4/2014 16:59

feels to be like an overhang is clearing

[brando69] 11/4/2014 16:41

werty

not trying to answer for picobird, but convinction can sometimes lead to an irrational sense of loyalty/inertia... we've all been there surely. tell me you haven't, and i'll be inclined to believe you're guilty of selective memory.

[werty5] 11/4/2014 16:35

Picobird you may well know lots about Anite's tec and how they perform good for you but I suspect you have held on for the whole sorry drop. So my question is do you know as much about share dealing? And this is not a argument perhaps you have your reasons for holding but it would be good if you would explain what they were.

Looks Good but small volume
cheers

The company will have to issue a Letter of Intent prior to selling the Travel side. I am hopeful that in a month the price will be over 100p after the Q4 results. Any take over ( it's looking more & more likely ) will involve a premium of at least 100p perhaps nearer 150p. The technology that Anite now has is worth at least that. Some of these big fish will not be penny pinching over the technology involved.
Time will sort it all out as usual.
The one consolation for me is that the institutions appreciate what Anite is doing even if the small investors do not. In fact their lack of understanding in the technology involved just beggars belief.

[irenekent] 11/4/2014 12:59

Well done pico for keeping us informed. As you and I know these go up and down like most other shares. I just hope this won't be seen as the perfect time to take over the co. by a speculative bottom sweeper.

[brando69] 11/4/2014 12:55

as i said a couple of weeks back, i want to see it above 85, then show that it can retest that level without falling back through it.

[werty5] 11/4/2014 12:53

Still waiting at the moment things might have turned a corner and I have my fingers crossed but want to see a bit more of a trend before I hit the buy button again. Looking good so far, good for you guys who still hold.

[brando69] 11/4/2014 12:42

one more resistance point to clear before i will be convinced of the reversal

[prokartace] 11/4/2014 12:36

lol typical of AIE to have a strong day when all other comms and technology companies are taking a pounding :)

[brando69] 11/4/2014 10:56

this now starts to look promising - defying market drag down. feels like we might be at the pivot

[picobird] 10/4/2014 21:19

Bottom of page.

Add China Mobile & a host of others.

Plus a lot of new faces that will appear after the news from today in other areas - chipset manufacturers etc.

I can only spread the news but Anite has such a rosy future it is quite amazing.

Can't help you any more than that. The brokers are very positive.

[mbmiah] 10/4/2014 20:46

Forget offering stuff/services - is anyone buying it?

[rathlindri] 10/4/2014 18:04

zzzzzzzzzzz, zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Spirent & Anite have to shout their cutting edge developments from the roof tops. Admittedly it is of little interest to those who know little about the technology. It is of great interest to the City, telecom companies/ clients & shareholders. In other words to those who use the technology & to the people (us) who will gain financially from it.
Excellence must be shouted about. In companies that I have worked for it was always made clear that limited communication means had to be used to the max being the company's few window/ windows on the world.
It also helps me sleep better at night knowing that they are working away like beavers to keep & expand their market shares in Lte technology.

This is worth a read :


The IOT (Internet of Things), 5G (with Anite taking a lead) & fussy consumers who want perfection (excellence) that is the catalyst for Anite to pursue Lte testing development.
The news today is a milestone & will bring in a lot of revenue as Lte unfolds in different adjacent sectors.
It is a great value adder as time will show.

Now I know that this good news will relax some of you so much, you might find yourselves falling asleep. LOL

[brando69] 10/4/2014 09:32

they are not great believers in shouting it from the rooftop are they? not worth an RNS?
