Lse site saying trading update penciled in for Monday.
News to me but probably right.

[davr0s] 08/12/2017 09:57

I'm ok with it retracing buts it's gone below the previous range which for me is a negative. It can of course go anywhere but I'm just playing the %ages across all my PF so I don't rack up,big losers

Well if there is bad news afoot, that volume that brought it down from 15p will look very suspicious, unless it was momentum investors buying the breakout, but I thought the idea would be to hold as long as the share price didn't come back too far.

[davr0s] 08/12/2017 08:55

That's me out for a small loss. Doesn't seem to be any support for the price and my rules are never to let a small loss turn into a big loss

don't worry folks, the Santa rally will ride to our rescue......

I can find a Mrs D M Dixon, referenced as a divisional director for the Red Cross and also a reference to the same name on a report from the National Trust, leaving a donation of £15k during 2016/2017.

Also bought Civic Dinner tickets in Bridlington somewhen around 2014/2015 lol and have seen a reference to her on the Kennel Club.

I'm guessing however there's more than one D M Dixon out there.

I spent a little while looking but couldn’t find anything either. All very intriguing!!

[tini5] 07/12/2017 14:19

I'm intrigued as to who Ms Dixon is and the strategy behind the continued stake building. Despite my best efforts, I've been unable to find much information beyond the holding notices already in the public domain.

[davr0s] 07/12/2017 12:00

Well Ms Dixon can't be too impressed with this continued slide (as aren't the rest of us). Hopefully she know something or has more cash than sense?

[yump] 06/12/2017 16:25

Well I'm completely out but good luck. One announcement and it could be off up again. Be interesting to see if that big volume on the drop is what has caused an exaggerated fall, or whether its related to the lack of announcements that might keep the revenue up near last years'.

[john09] 06/12/2017 16:19

You do that

[opodio] 06/12/2017 15:09

might be worth waiting for 9p

[john09] 06/12/2017 14:43

Had to buy another 100,000. Couldn’t help myself. Trading update last year on 5th December so could be one due any day and I feel we are at the bottom of a trading no range

[brucie5] 05/12/2017 11:21

Quite a few will have sold on the technical. I find myself holding and hoping. So far the updates have been positive, so can't see why the situation will have changed. Yet.

[pictureframe] 05/12/2017 10:08

Lots of small caps are being hit it's not company specific.

[bazworth] 05/12/2017 09:52

Have to say I’m feeling a little concerned but also reassured by reading the most recent announcements as well as the Companies Press Releases. The volume of shares being sold is relatively small too.

Over the last few months we have had institutions adding and Mrs Dixon too. Hopefully they are right!

Time will tell!!

[pictureframe] 05/12/2017 09:23

Getting tempting to add but no quite yet.

[dan de lion] 05/12/2017 08:59

Normally one would expect to see the share price improve before a trading update.

[bazworth] 04/12/2017 19:04

Hopefully a positive trading statement should get us back on track, this week perhaps?

[davr0s] 04/12/2017 18:18

Not technically sick yet IMO. Needs to close below 12p and move lower for me to conclude that. Just a retrace into the previous support in a weak market atm

[john09] 04/12/2017 17:26

It’s looking a little sick. Technically at least . Very surprised . We were motoring at 16p

[samsj] 03/12/2017 16:40

Wasnt this largely expected? From the annual report:

"Our largest serviced market is the mobile telecommunications infrastructure equipment market. This market has seen robust levels of investment in increased capacity for 4G/LTE in recent years as end user demand for services continues to grow. However, we note the recent reductions in current calendar year forecasts from both Nokia and Ericsson and we are a little more cautious regarding the short term as a consequence, though remain confident in the mid-term to long-term and continue to expect renewed demand growth from calendar 2018 from the new spectrum releases."

FinnCap still has 1.2p eps for the 2018 year though?

Your basis Angus?
