I've been following HDT for years, highly volatile - I think a few people have made the mistake of activating their stop loss, HDT is way too volatile for a stop loss - down 20% today, up 50% tomorrow. The PCB market is set to peak during 2005, the results shouldn't disappoint. I'll be adding if they drop anymore.

Down 14% on volume of 8k..... fall looks a little overdone..?

[barnetpeter] 19/7/2004 12:40

Hard to know what to make of this fall. The drifting price strongly suggests results will disappoint - someone has been tipped off. But then the cap is so tiny anyway...

But then this market is tough and wants the impossible on results day. Let us see tomorrow but expectations are clearly pretty low. What would be a real concern is if they cut out the dividend. The price would then hit 30p and you still wouldn't be able to sell.

Obvious someone is offloading. NMC is 500. Best bid I could get over that was 75p. Judging by the low trades it looks like whoever is trying to move stock is having difficulty. The MM's are trying a classic tree shake to get the stock for this chump. I`m holding my holders.

must be a seller being offered at 84 electronic, no wonder struggled to get a few away

[allstar4eva] 19/7/2004 11:13

Yep. Looks bad. Looks a lot more than a shake.

[latestarter] 19/7/2004 11:08

hmm seems none wants them now

[allstar4eva] 19/7/2004 10:23

The fall appears to have been based on relatively small trades unless a large sell appears later. A few weeks ago someone was acquiring a large amount of stock so hopefully things at Holders will go according to plan.

[latestarter] 19/7/2004 10:23

there is no market to sell into i have just sold 3250 3p below the bid, (3 MM turned the deal away) ae the time, although has now moved to 87, not lost faith just moving some stuff about

[barnetpeter] 19/7/2004 10:19

Yes - mind you they also have the dividend exd dates on the site as well so I cannot see anything changing. At least holders will get a divi from holders (lol) even if the results are not as good as expected (perhaps dollar weakness has been a problem).

[allstar4eva] 19/7/2004 09:57

I think the results will be tomorrow as I would have thought that they would have updated their website if the date of results had changed. Having said that from the wording you would have thought they would have issued a notice of results statement. Tmie will tell...

[barnetpeter] 19/7/2004 09:53

would think so - although the fall today hardly inspires does it?

[donnatella] 19/7/2004 09:52

as the results have not been officially announced - as far as I know, are they still likely to be tomorrow?

[allstar4eva] 15/7/2004 17:56

Re: Results on 20th July

Website says:

"Dates are subject to change until officially announced."

[mitzis] 14/7/2004 20:51

Thanks MissChief...

[miss chief] 14/7/2004 20:42

Company website says the 20th.

[mitzis] 14/7/2004 20:36

Drifting down again the last two days but no matter as the interims will show us the turnaround in the company over the last 18 months..could be the 20th ie next week but not 100% certain.

[allstar4eva] 05/7/2004 21:53

It's not easy to buy these in quantity but it does seem strange that you couldn't buy any on a day when the price was marked down 5%. Did you try a limit order?

Re: "Marked down today and the interims are but 3 weeks away....very strange"

Pre-results shake?


P.S. VTB up 30% since I mentioned it here

[donnatella] 05/7/2004 21:15

I tried to buy some of these online this afternoon but I couldn't even get an order in for 100 shares - I tried from 2000 to 100. is this usual?

[mitzis] 05/7/2004 10:16

Marked down today and the interims are but 3 weeks away....very strange.

[mitzis] 30/6/2004 15:22

I personally reckon a profit of 850k in 2004 which is higher than the House brokers estimate.. that makes a eps of 12p and a peg of less than one, and profit growth of 350%.

[mitzis] 29/6/2004 21:23

Of course..!glad your in..

[miss chief] 29/6/2004 21:18

Actually it was the CEO who said that ;-)

I hold, btw.
