Is this going to follow CWM into the ground

holgerl -- I guess there is an incentive for these directors to push the share price forward through 2007/8/9. I hope they are still not there by 2016. My concern is they were the directors responsible for taking CAE from 100p down through 50p to where it now languishes at 15p. Even at 15p it now looks expensive. As CAE seems to be moving away from its traditional management consulting market with the loss of so many of its consultants having moved on and been replaced with technologists. CAE are moving from their low cost structure to new markets crowded with lots of others that do the same Microsoft stuff at much lower prices and margins. How can the levels of overhead be maintained? What's your take on where this CAE is going? Do I hold and hope to get my investment back or sell (if I can find someone to buy) and invest elsewhere?

PURE GREED

It would seem that Woodward and Pickering (who have been granted 350K each of options at 15p) are the people to lead this company out of the teens into the pound seats. Do we really believe this -- they are also the people responsible for leading the company from the pound to the pence seats. Why is it other investors are allowing this to happen?

[boonen] 28/11/2006 15:42

So are we to believe the Chairman this time after his AGM report? "In my statement issued on 3 October 2006, I reported on the results of our strategic review and the actions that we have taken to develop the business in significant new directions. I noted that whilst prospects for business from the new strategic programmes were beginning to build, sales of our traditional business were continuing to be slow." I guess as so many shares are in the hands to the directors and members of Charteris -- they can run it as a hobby. What they neglect to realise is that this is a company that was running at 100p not long ago and has had a number of strategic initiatives which leaves us bumping along at 15p. When will we hear some good news which will give us some chance of getting our money back.

03/10/06 08:32 AFXF Charteris FY pretax profit falls; sees slower sales

[seangray] 18/9/2006 21:41

About they told us about any losses they have made on the Microsoft Axapta produst?

[boonen] 01/9/2006 13:09

Has anyone news on a potential takeover of CAE by one of their takeover targets?

[drbeat] 19/8/2006 18:32

grim

At the time of the interim announcement, in early April, the Directors believed
that profit before goodwill amortisation in the financial year ending 31 July
2006 would be similar to that in the previous one. Since that time, it has taken
longer than expected to build sales to replace several major projects

[boonen] 17/7/2006 11:52

Selling out of this one. A 100p stock that has finally found its level at 10p. This is a company that continues to under perform on its forecasts and the rest of its market sector. Why has the board remained in place when most of the managers and senior staff have been removed over the past 2-years and the stock still continues to go down.

buying today
only blue in a sea of red!!

[boonen] 11/5/2006 11:16

I guess by the silence no one has a hint when it might improve. It's certainly going in the opposite direction to both AIM and the computer and consulting market sectors. Help me on this one do I sell now and take the loss or do I sell later and take a bigger loss?

[boonen] 10/5/2006 08:58

Does anyone have any hint when CAE will improve? No one buying -- have been trying to sell without too much of a loss but no one wants the stock. Might have to wait until Sept/Oct and the end of year results. Will it improve then since the company are putting out profit warning?

outlook

When we issued our last trading update, we believed that there were good
prospects for the Company to achieve market expectations for the current
financial year, with profits more skewed to the second half than in the previous
financial year. Since then it has been taking longer to build business to the
levels expected in the second half. More significant are the actions that we
have taken following our strategic review to position the business for growth as
these are incurring additional cost in the business.


Whilst these initiatives mean it will be a challenge for the company to achieve
growth in profit before goodwill amortisation this year, we believe that this
timely action will position the company most effectively to meet its growth
goals next year and beyond.

bog off yang!!

[yinyang42] 06/4/2006 20:19

thanks booney
I hadnt noticed the cash position before.

just noticed margin also fell from 6% to 5%

[boonen] 06/4/2006 17:25

They are on there way to 11p. Profits slipping and the cash reserves reducing. Interesting how they will arrest the current trend. Lond way to get back to the revenues and profitability of the early years -- a company that may have lost its way. Still at 11p there will be some buyers.

[yinyang42] 06/4/2006 14:59

i want to buy some if they get back to 11p

[stewartd] 12/12/2005 19:09

No real drivers to this stock -- what will make it rise, wishful thinking. No too much is with members of the firm for it to be of interest to real investors.
