"Yes he was CFO before but Israeli firms are notoriously hierarchical."

please stop bringing your hatred of Israeli companies into it, has more than a whiff of antisemitism.

The hopes of huge change come January over strategy look ill founded..Moti is no new broom he has been an important part of the executive team and main board for years. He has also according to some been as good as running it already so the criticisms on communications etc fall as much to him imo.He owns where the company finds itself ..good or bad as much as anyone.The fact that 21% shareholder Zvi remains on the board as a non executive is also a factor."Marom told "Globes" today, "I have reached the official retirement age. In the past eight years, we have started to train a cadre of managers in an orderly way. I shall continue to deal with strategic matters at the company, and to serve as chairperson of subsidiary Ador Diagnostics.""I shall continue to deal with "strategic matters" at the company ..doesn't sound like he is giving carte blanche to his apprentice. But come January Moti will have 9 times his existing options award ..so maybe that larger incentive may prove decisive in turning the share price round!

gbenson that is pure wishful thinking on your part. You have no basis for your comments. It may increase but right now anyone thinking of investing should wait imo

[pockstones] 02/12/2022 10:47

Until governance questions are answered this remains uninvestable

[gbenson1] 02/12/2022 10:45

fwiw, the Sp will increase over time, this is an excellent company with great IP, unfortunately the shorters/rodents are on board, we need to give Moti a short while to prove he's the man to take the Co forward, if your 80% down stick it in the bottom draw and give it 3-6 months more, its exactly the same Co you originally invested in albeit without the listing problems and lack of buybacks, imho, G x

I have severe reservations about this company and how it is run
I have lost 80% if the value of my (fortunately) small investment.
Do I crystallise that loss or hold on in the hope that the fine words in the interim results turn into actual deeds.
I'e decided to hold on but the share price decline is very dramatic and the lack of communications from the management are frankly appalling and a massive concern.

[bigjon1] 02/12/2022 08:02

@landskerMicheal, regarding your earlier comment Moti Nagar doesn't become CEO until 1st Jan. Then you can make your judgement on whether you think sentiment has changed or not

[bigjon1] 02/12/2022 07:59

I agree landsker, share buyback should happen. It will be interesting to see over the coming months if a share buyback does occur. I will be extremely bullish if it does.

[dds14] 02/12/2022 07:04

No mention of dividend payment in the AGM agenda... does that mean they're not paying them?

This company is a shambles.

[fse] 01/12/2022 18:45

Yes JD there is a lot going on in the background which we are not au fait with. Very low volumes price gets walked down and the suddenly 1m shares trade hands. I don’t profess to know what’s going on here. Echo made a few relevant tilts at it. Point is it’s got someone’s interest ok largely at our expense.
I do feel that the Moti appointment was long overdue and next year when he takes up the position always assuming they let him crack on with it…….. then hopefully we will see engagement with getting the message across.
Marom did indicate that Moti has been in an active role for some time prior to officially handing over the day to day running and marketing.
One silver lining here is that the IP is being developed in house with no shareholder depreciation. The share price simply does not reflect this.
What they could do immediately to help the situation is to dump the TASE listing its working badly against them and this share price rebalancing is unnecessary angst and confusing and markets don’t like it.

[james dean] 01/12/2022 18:30

Some very good points made FSE and I wonder if matters are taking place in the background to get Telso listed elsewhere as you suggest - like others my holding is somewhat larger than it was several years ago, and it seems the pain is growing as the year comes to its end. The new year should bring us back up with all that is happening on the sales front.

[fse] 01/12/2022 18:03

Car1pet. I don’t disagree with your concerns over management and the need to switch the heat on marketing the products. I ran my own company and he who sets it up maybe not the best person to advance the business. You have consistently maintained this and I can’t argue with that. Of course the companies don’t exist in the first place without these people. I was pleased to see Marom move to R&D and get out of the kitchen so to speak.
Telco systems revenue has been a very real cause for concern and it’s unlikely to set the world on fire in the next year or so but they have made very major in roads and it’s all revenue they did not have before.
In any event these are fair criticisms and I don’t usually address them as I try to cover the tech side.
You know I felt they needed to get Telco and Cyber over on NASDAQ where it will get coverage by brokers and keep them on their game.
I also would dump the Israeli listing and keep MedicaL in the index on the LSE.

[car1pet] 01/12/2022 17:16

FSE you keep banging on about how good the Telco products are, but look at the business overall. I'm not a technical person like you but in business terms, which is what interests me and drives my investments, Telco is 20% of the total business. A few years ago BATM was a Telco company but not any more. Medical is 80% of the business so even if your are right about the telco products they aren't likely to help the share price The company has no strategy which is not helping the share price Marom doesn't understand what drives the market. He's a technical guy who should stick to R&D and let a real Business manager take over the running of the company not an Accountant which is what we will have running the company next year.
This not one of my best investments!!

[landskermichael] 01/12/2022 17:06

Why aren't they buying back shares like they told shareholders they would , and that was when the share price was much higher , I hope someone asks that question at the meeting

[doccash] 01/12/2022 16:41

Mummy mummy Nasty boys not listening to me again. Tell them.

[tradeterminator01] 01/12/2022 16:03

Usually when someone has a self proclaimed 'highly esteemed opinion', the next sentence is going to be waffle.

[kemche] 01/12/2022 15:59

It's only a loss if you sell.

[resistance1] 01/12/2022 15:55

'looking very dodgy and scammy here' hmmm not the territory you reside in then Homeboy? And your ever present circus love affair

[homeboy] 01/12/2022 15:46

looking very dodgy and scammy here in my highly esteemed opinion

the clowns are appearing out of the woodwork, are upset and making senile comments

[tradeterminator01] 01/12/2022 15:38

Homeboy, as resistance says - 'you're not a shareholder', therefore why are you so quick to call the chat clowns and rejoice in any negative price movement? IS there any danger to actually providing some substance to your senile comments.

[kooba] 01/12/2022 13:40

Buyer finally appeared ..but by the looks of the volume the seller and now buyer are out of London..find out if finished soon ..but against the market and seeing sellers at the low for many years not exactly encouraging...however might have seen the line clear today?

[car1pet] 01/12/2022 12:45

What a disaster. This company needs to be taken over and a proper board of directors put in place quickly. Marom and his cronies must have known what was going on.
