Without sales, does it matter?

If they open it their costs will increase as they have to employ skilled labour, unless they have zero hour contracts in Kosovo!

Interesting that they haven't adjusted the order book, if Eboracum are being struck off, and Banyan don't seem very active either.

And the "order book" value is just meaningless as orders are not actually sales.

Any more news re factory ?

[andy] 13/1/2017 21:14

Elgin or Gilbert?

[caradog] 13/1/2017 10:37

Or lost his marbles?

[andy] 12/1/2017 21:25

Maybe he's become an ex marbler?

[pugugly] 12/1/2017 20:34

Where has exbroker gone - Very quiet !!

[gutterhead] 12/1/2017 19:41

I am out. Good luck all, hope it comes good

I guess every night club and pub up north will soon be tiled in marble!

[andy] 12/1/2017 10:28

Wols,

Absolutely, and then there are always pubs in Sheffield that need refurbing, some additional potential there too maybe?

[wolstencroft] 12/1/2017 10:03

I guess they're too busy running around Manchester selling marble to bother running the company properly, surely a good sign??

[andy] 12/1/2017 09:16

wols,

Yes it'll be interesting to see how he puts positive spin on this one!

[wolstencroft] 12/1/2017 08:18

Isn't it about 30-40% of their order book? Banyan being another 30-40%?

I emailed Tom, no doubt he'll say it's an oversight / big misunderstanding etc etc

[andy] 11/1/2017 23:01

I wonder if the value of their "orders" will still show on Fox' books?

[wolstencroft] 11/1/2017 19:42

No they haven't filed. It's companies house striking them off.

[glennborthwick] 11/1/2017 19:17

oh dear, someone chasing them

Sorry these are my ideas so all imho. Merry Christmas

[andy] 20/12/2016 13:22

czar,

Source please?

TW per chance?

Four stocks for 2017.

San Leon has to be my top pick with a bid of 80p already in the wings and a top fund holding over 50% means the bidder will have to up that to succeed.

Fox Marble, risky but so well underpinned with assets could easily be a 10 bagger.

Gama Aviation, a pe of 4x this has been sold down by a fund to a ridiculous level.

Stride Gaming, another stock that has continued to shoot the lights out but indiscriminate selling by a fund has taken them down to a silly level.

[andy] 19/12/2016 14:24

dh,

Thanks for the links.

Well we shall have to see how Stone Alliance works out, there are still political problems in Kosovo, s anything hat might bring stability and employment would obviously be welcome.

The more immediate concern is sales, and translating large orders that are sitting on the books into cash.

So why are you one here?

not a very helpful post!

[dhlindy1] 19/12/2016 13:38

Andy
You might be interested in these threads. One shows a Kosovo Govt promotion of the marble industry in Kosovo (trying to get it going and offering incentives) The other search on Kosovo marble comes up with Fox as the only real player.

I am hoping that Govt. enthusiasm for a marble industry plus western (i.e. US)funding for Stone Alliance could come to something and that if it does Fox should be well placed to carve out an interest/role for itself.

Will it make us money? I don't know but I am in for the punt!

stocks like these always end up around 1p

just dump it and find an up trending stock.
