I see positive things all time and certainly with other stocks. I see nothing positive about DDD, which I regard as a company that will go belly up at some point along with 3D TV. Just my personal opinion. You are free to have your own views.

Zipless .. lol do you always *only* see the negative side of things ? Never a positive or a balanced take on anything ? .. I can just imagine you on a sunny day ".. Ya but we will all get a sun burn today ..".. And if the market is going up strongly ".. ya but we will all have to pay more capital gains tax..".. If Britain wins Eurovision " ya but we have to host it next year and it will cost us..."

Dvda - from the annual report.

It looks like, if anything, more TV licensees might come on stream this year.

The largest volume of shipments came from the TV
market where Samsung continued to deploy the
Group's 2D to 3D conversion solution in its marketleading
range of 3D televisions and 3D Blu-ray players.
ATEN Technology Inc. also commenced shipment of its
IOGear 3D Complete+ video processor that incorporates
the Group's TriDef 3D conversion technology.

Despite earlier setbacks, DDD's other licensees in the TV
chip market continued to make progress towards
introducing their next generation video processing
chips that include TriDef 3D conversion and the Group
believes these additional licensees may become active
during 2013.

And yet the article above shows Samsung's share of the 3D market falling. That's more significant than Samsung selling more ordinary TVs that have no importance to DDD.

Seems to be an increasingly fragmented market.

Dvda - who cares?

I can settle for being in Samsungs standard offering, rather than being with 20 different makers with naff all market share between them.

To me it is like saying companies with an Apple deal are over reliant.

Go where the money is.

Who knows if Samsung want some exclusivity?



Samsung has strengthened its grip on the global TV market, its revenues increasing 6% in 2012 to give it a 27.7% share. That's more than the combined sales of Panasonic, Sharp and Sony, each of which saw further significant dropss last year.

But while Samsung's revenues share was up 6% year on year, and second-place LG increased by 4%, the Japanese 'big three' fared less well: Sony's share fell 34%, Panasonic's 26%, and Sharp's 22%.

[zipless] 17/5/2013 12:12

Even worse than I thought!

Until someone can show some evidence to the contrary, DDD only has one major TV maker and that is Samsung (there is another US based player, but their name escapes me at the moment).

[zipless] 17/5/2013 11:41

They would say that wouldn't they. Interesting though that Samsung's share of the market is falling, especially as DDD only have 3 TV makers using their products. I wonder how long 3D will be standard on high end TVs when no one is broadcasting 3D programs.

[poombear] 17/5/2013 11:27

Yes Zippy

"3D now a standard feature on most mid- to high-end 3D TVs"

"LG remains bullish about the importance of 3D TV"

[zipless] 17/5/2013 10:00

I suppose people did notice that the figures for 3D sales were for 2012. Below is from one of the articles.

The important bits are "it doesn't tell us how many people are actually watching 3D content at home"

and

"despite admitting that the key focus areas for the 2013 TV market are Smart TV, 4K Ultra HD, and OLED TV".

More than a third of the value of the £2.6 billion UK TV market in 2012 came from 3D TVs, though with 3D now a standard feature on most mid- to high-end 3D TVs, it doesn't tell us how many people are actually watching 3D content at home.

LG remains bullish about the importance of 3D TV, despite admitting the key focus areas for the 2013 TV market are Smart TV, 4K Ultra HD and OLED TV.

Until the MMs pass on the huge amount of stock they have taken in. Then it will continue its way down again

Target still 3p

[malhashemi] 17/5/2013 09:00

Recovery Ahoy. Well done to all those who kept the faith.

[bonio10000] 17/5/2013 07:48

More decent buying.

Interesting days.

[bonio10000] 17/5/2013 07:36

Yes.

In some.

I'm not fussed - the market is growing so even if Samsung's share is dropping it should still lead to an increase in sales.

Plus - that is only the UK.

I'm more interested in the growth suggested.

[poombear] 17/5/2013 07:22

Are ddd in LG TV'S? The last results didn't show much revenue from LG which appear ed to come from their 3D phone.

[zipless] 16/5/2013 19:46

They can't all be buys. Although the price dropped significantly recently the volumes sold were nowhere enough to add up to the volumes yesterday and today.That would suggest some balance and that at least some of the large trades ought to be sells.

[malhashemi] 16/5/2013 17:48

Some very high volumes are going through and the price is firming up.. Something is a foot - Maybe we get an announcement on AGM Day .. Perhaps before ..

[janatha] 16/5/2013 07:59

Deltagirl

Agreed.

[janatha] 16/5/2013 07:58

bonio

Good spot.

[bonio10000] 16/5/2013 07:52

Wonder why the buying?

Just saw this.

No doubt CY was telling them what a load of pony DDD and there is no reason to invest.

Jan - the fact that there are large blocks going through at 15p rather than tanking the share price probably means there's a buyer out there at these levels as I doubt the mms would be bidding above the ask to take on stock that they'd be sitting on.
