LC,what do you think of the PCTW chart in comparison to PCT - seems to have overshot to me,which also assisted me in my decision to go in this morning. ?

[mh] 15/6/2002 00:24

LC,thanks for the chart and your views.I know it's very risky but that's part of the appeal for me and I have luckily (not through skill of course) managed to do well on these at times like this in the past when the depair in the market appears to climax.

I think it would be foolish - too risky for me. The trend is still down. The NAs is poised above last year's low - it's bounce or break time and I for one do not want to try and second guess it. Safer to wait for a real sign of recovery imo.

And why is it trading at 30% discount.
Because it is no f---ing good.

You may wish to check out Fleming Tech Trust - Currently trading at about 30% discount to NAV.

Just re-entered the warrants with an initial position @ 88.

[rogerl] 23/3/2002 13:50

yes short term but expect 230/250 by sept

Are you guys still shorting this one?

[energyi] 21/12/2001 16:09

the NAV is now down to 196, I think PCT should fall further
from the current 213 unless we see a sharp rally in NDX.
That would be very surprising...

Based on Trades, the small sellers are now hitting the 210 bid

[goodfella] 21/12/2001 07:11

The latest figures out state that the Nasdaq is trading on an average PE of over 200 for 2002.

The bulls argue that a forward PE for 2003 should now be applied and earnigs should improve.

All the most optomistic data predicts 10% growth which will bring the PE down 180................LOL

This one has a long way to fall, its just a matter of time.

As you know from the warrants thread, agree with your assessment. Am currently out for those reasons, if Nasdaq corrects sharply would look to go into the warrants again (last out @ 120).

date.....NDX.....PCT...Ratio
20 dec..1580.0..217.0...7.28 Mid-day update

If this ratio goes back to 7.50, then 1580/7.50= 210.6
If this ratio goes back to 7.75, then 1580/7.75= 203

If NDX stays down, PCT could show big drop tomorrow

[energyi] 20/12/2001 14:07

Managed to short at 220, which is huge 9% premium to NAV (201.81)
in a market where Nasdaq looks vulnerable. Will be interesting
to see how this plays out.

[goodfella] 16/12/2001 10:39

This has been one of my favourite shorts over the last 12 months as it trades at an underseved premium to NAV whilst others trade at a discount.

The recent statement with the results presented very gloomy reading and this deserves to trade 30% below the present share price
