T - A lot of hope has been pinned on the new management & internet marketing.
Nothing in the least bit convincing has come out about this, & it could take some doing, if ever.
In the meantime, market has been cutting risk/exposure to MTC. Can't blame them as I also got out not long ago.

Your handle says everything about the investment prospects for this share.

Hey guys I'm just checking this stock out after it was recommended on another bulletin board and see many thinking it is severely undervalued but I don't get why this is believed. Looking at their balance sheet profits have been decreasing year on year:


Operating Profit / Loss: 2015: (6.40) 2014: (18.50) 2013: (16.20) 2012: (98.80)

Pre tax Profit: 2015: (13.10) 2014: (26.30) 2013: (23.90) 2012: (102.90)

With a market cap of 208 million I just don't get how it is considered undervalued, surely it needs to be hitting close to 20m pre tax to justify its current valuation. I assume I am missing something so can people who have been following this stock explain my error?

Cheers, T

Thank you for that napoleon - yes been around almost as long as you here.

I hope you will keep the info going as to when you confirm that trend. I however will be adding to my long position, as I believe the bounce will be fast and furious but totally understand those like yourself that will wait for the stars to line up.

Good Luck.

Clocktower going on about Brexit when the international part of he business has nothing to do with it.

The thing is with baby products - general situation is that there is no slowdown in the number of child births, so the demand will outpace the general retail market if there is indeed any slowdown now that the weather has improved and we are looking at the summer sales, the footfall is bound to improve and as they have so many overseas stores the movement of the pound will have less effect if Brexit occurs imo.

[clocktower] 06/5/2016 12:11

Due for a bounce as it is so oversold imo. Now Long on this.

Heading back down towards £1. as support drains away from so many retailers.

[abcd1234] 05/5/2016 08:09

adding a volume chart above migh be useful, perhaps

[wanttowin] 04/5/2016 16:44

Back down to a seven year low, looking to get back in here but this slide seems relentless.

This is more of a punt than an investment now ; can't decide whether I want to risk some more. Brain says no.
But decided to gamble a few more at 124.

12 o'clock spikes on a Monday are often Simon Thompson tips

[clocktower] 25/4/2016 13:02

It would be nice to see it stabilise around here for a while before moving upwards once again, as it has been well oversold on low volumes.

[allstar4eva] 25/4/2016 12:47

When Mr e appears and gets negative buy buy buy! I did;-)

[pictureframe] 25/4/2016 12:35

nice spike

[allstar4eva] 25/4/2016 12:27

Should expect a rise when Mr e turns up. He gets everything wrong lol

[mreasygoing] 25/4/2016 08:36

Nice chart,, sorry I was holding my screen upside down.

Only about 1% of the Shares outstanding were traded this week yet it was enough to bring the stock down 25%. It's incredible just how little selling can trash a stock in the UK.
