Or just a potential 10 bagger !!

[uppompeii] 22/10/2003 14:00

True - love to know wots getting the interest restarted. Is it a cash shell? A reversal perhaps ?

[uppompeii] 22/10/2003 13:58

Any ideas anyone on the 50% move on this over the last week - small OFEX co. , not moved for a couple of years but now OFEX highest climber today. One of Stephen Deans old babies I think? Must be more than skeletun who knows some thing !!

[skelatun] 22/10/2003 13:57

Something must have started the buying again! 126000 bought on Friday - after no buying for quite some time! It doesn't make sense that activity would start again without there being a catalyst!?

[skelatun] 22/10/2003 13:38

Interims from LAST June - that was some turnaround - from 3.12p loss per share to 0.03p profit per share - in a sluggish economy! Maybe things are even better now and the upward trend will continue!!!!!

INTERIM RESULTS
FOR THE SIX MONTH PERIOD TO 31 MARCH 2003

Dear fellow shareholders,

We are pleased to report a profit of 0.03p per share for this interim period
versus a loss of 3.12p per share for the same period one year ago. This
interim period presented many challenges, including, an ongoing sluggish
economy, weak business condition, international uncertainties and anaemic stock
market performance. Despite this weakened operating environment, we
successfully implemented revenue enhancement strategies that provide us with an
even greater confidence in our long-term prospects.

Its the highest riser on the ofex board today - looking for info on other boards that may give a clue to renewed interest.

[uppompeii] 22/10/2003 13:05

WOW !! 5million - looks like something could be happening. About time this sleeping giant woke !! I'll search to, could be worth a punt, OFEX stocks seem to move rapidly on few trades.

[skelatun] 22/10/2003 13:00

This happened on the 10th of this month:

5,000,000 shares (19.24% of the Company's issued share capital) were purchased
by Global Investments Limited.

[skelatun] 22/10/2003 12:58

Definitely seems to be something going on alright - this hasn't moved in many months - up today, yesterday and Friday last!! I'll do some digging!!!!! Maybe I'll even buy some!!!!

[uppompeii] 22/10/2003 12:53

Interesting moves on this OFEX stock over the past few days - anyone any info? Stock is moving on minor trades - up 5% on 20,000 traded today. Used to be VFN I remember. Looks to be up 50% on the bid in just a week or so - any other holders out there?

The technical picture is looking better. CAB is finding support at 17.5p, forming a triple bottom (30.10.01, 19.08.02 and 02.09.03). RSI is rising from the bottom of the range.


Another contributor to the forums, Weskirby (03 Sep'03 - 06:36 - 1343 of 1366 (ITK)), mentions a newspaper article pointing to a better future for engineering companies like CAB:



Steve Radley, chief economist, said: "We face the best growth in engineering and manufacturing for four years"

[red linnet] 30/7/2003 09:15

I used to work for this company and unfortunately still hold shares - none of this surprises me. It wasn't that long ago that they closed two other depots and the UK bonded plant.
This now leaves four depots. What happens next ?????...........

[heavybloke] 26/7/2003 17:50

So CARBO are closing another 3 Anglo Abrasives depots, when only a few months ago the slogan appeared to be "We're back on track",
which track is this?

Seems that a big managment shake up is needed before a decent recovery can be made.

[heavybloke] 30/1/2003 00:38

Why are this crowd now just closing some of of its Anglo distribution depots,
after saying last year that they could see no upturn outside Anglo.
Does this mean that they see no upturn here either. (time to sell me thinks!!!!)

[fevs] 03/1/2003 10:14

Always the way

[the pink pound] 03/1/2003 09:45

Of course it is ticking up....I sold the remnants of my shares at the end of 2002!

[fevs] 03/1/2003 09:35

Price ticked up again, if this keeps up I may actually make some money on this one.

LOL

[niceandlegal] 02/1/2003 17:10

Yes, while Mr Blair sits in Egypt spreading gloom and doom and looking forward to his guaranteed pension and the bad news about manufacturing industry in the U.K. in particular, why not ask him instead! because it's difficult to see any logical reason for the price to rise based on the real world I live and work in.

[fevs] 02/1/2003 16:33

Back up again, is anyone else in on this one??, and does anyone have any thoughts??

FEVS

[fevs] 11/12/2002 10:46

Does anybody out there have any news/info on what the future holds for carbo. the price has been ticking up since the share consolidation.

[boobly] 29/11/2002 16:58

This is a very dubious company, with some strange machinations in the
background, I no longer have an interest, and glad to be out.
I just don`t trust those running this show. - But - Good luck if you hold .

p.s. Thread should be titled ; "Carbo BREAKUP ".

[heaven] 29/11/2002 11:52

looks like its on its way back to 2p
