Really chuffed with my Buy this lunchtime. I had seen recent Director Buy.

193k buy somebody is confident, or is that a short closing.

[beeezzz] 30/7/2015 14:31

Itchy...How's that short looking, singed or what!!!!

[beeezzz] 30/7/2015 14:04

Well those that got back in @£4+ must be laughing, great move, good on them.

Although directors are not allowed to deal just before the release of important news, they have a great advantage of knowing that its release is imminent and being able to delay any purchase or sale they might have been considering until the news is out.

Careful - thats one point of view - or the buyers have just given another great opportunity to short this. I can't see this settling much above 400p before the review comes out in October. I'm just not quite brave enough to go short on this one!

... yoyo? ;~)

[beeezzz] 29/7/2015 11:24

Only 32.5+m shares in circulations so will be volatile difficult getting shares, telecom plus are just the same up and down like a !!!!

[bountyhunter] 29/7/2015 11:12

yes amazing volatility!

[careful] 29/7/2015 09:19

yesterday an alert invetsor could have picked these up for 400p. today, a few trading hours later a gain of 20%+. these shorters present gifts sometimes.

i think the chairman is investing

[vinceelliott] 28/7/2015 14:27

Why the sharp turnaround at 3pm? I am not complaining, but I cannot understand why I have gained over the day>

[salpara111] 28/7/2015 12:47

Well, £4 was inevitable, the question is, what happens from here? Could be a great turnaround story but there is no reason to get in yet.

[beeezzz] 28/7/2015 10:53

sharw....Thanks, apologise for remark...unaware of the seriousness of his illness...not good!!!. SP really getting hit today....not that many shares to borrow so shorts will be limited. Have to check FCA site.

[itchycrack] 28/7/2015 10:28

Stay short! More to come, and this is even before the wider market tanks! Another big payday coming!! :-)

[pugugly] 28/7/2015 07:16

sharw: Thanks for the news - Roy was indeed very much the driving force and now with hindsight we can see why his usual attention to detail must have suffered.

beeezzz 27 Jul'15 - 13:41 - 2901 of 2901 0 0 "... no wonder Mr Burton's health deteriorated, I expect he was suffering with high blood pressure". This suggests it was pancreatic cancer: hTtp://www.legacy.com/obituaries/commercialappeal/obituary.aspx?n=roy-burton&;pid=175330948

[beeezzz] 27/7/2015 12:41

Its quite obvious the BOD have made very poor decisions, no wonder Mr Burton's health deteriorated, I expect he was suffering with high blood pressure. Instead of growing organically they decided to splash the cash which has back fired, they increased their sales force considerably, I wonder the terms of their salary packages, maybe too generous. Market size for LED's has not changed and they have major industrial clients, so if they can resolve the cash burn the outlook should improve, all up to management now, earn your salaries guys.

[careful] 27/7/2015 10:40

just had a punt here at 502. the new boss is making the right noises and revenue is still growing. risky but a reasonable bet at current price because of growth potential.

[finbarot] 27/7/2015 10:16

Ive been to the last two AGMs and the shareholder apathy was something to behold. Not too long ago this company was making a healthy profit with millions in the bank. Not content with that,this expansion,or vanity project,at huge cost,has gained nothing for the shareholder, but the remuneration committee have been kept busy with directors salary increases.One big gravy train! Next thing I suspect will be some resignations, or as in the case of the previous Fd big golden goodbyes.GLA

The company's extraordinary ability to burn cash - identified in #2766 - continues. Net debt end June -£8m, from -£4.2m end Oct 14, having had £15m net cash at the beginning of 2013! This sounds not too good either - "The Group has a four-year £25.0m Revolving Credit Facility with HSBC with the option to borrow a further £25.0m under an accordion feature. As at 30 June 2015 there was £13.5m drawn against the facility..." Are these guys Greek?!
