Yes, that's another positive!

So have I, but it's a pretty safe haven for the next 3 months... Payment is in euros as well isn't it?

[cjohn] 14/11/2018 11:22

Good move. Would do too, but have too many already.

[zcaprd7] 13/11/2018 10:40

Topped up here...

[zcaprd7] 07/11/2018 14:11

Some activity when the US opened, and a drop, which is a worry...

[cjohn] 05/11/2018 18:24

A meaner sort of muppet!

[zcaprd7] 02/11/2018 10:44

I meant those paying are muppets lol

[cjohn] 02/11/2018 09:29

Muppets might not know about the settlement…..

[zcaprd7] 01/11/2018 13:17

We should get the rest of the settlement this month, will be muppets wait until the last day of November?

I can see why you might liquidate ones portfolio, but this is like holding cash?

[cjohn] 30/10/2018 17:39

General selling in the market; takes down all shares.

[zcaprd7] 30/10/2018 13:44

What's all this volume, and the recent weakness about?

[zcaprd7] 18/10/2018 08:24

Always a risk, and they have hinted at some sort of acquisition - they've had plenty of time to sort things out, but I can't imagine anything other than a return of nearly all the cash by year end.

[cjohn] 14/10/2018 14:50

Hi Pejaten,

that is a serious worry, that I'e expressed several times on here.


My previous experience with other companies like PVCS that have become cash shells is that more often that not CEOs froget their promises to return capital and blow it on some "brilliant" acquisition.



Pressure needs to be brought on management to do the right thing for shareholders not only themsleves.

[meijiman] 13/10/2018 21:42

The ceo will run this as long as is possible

[cjohn] 11/10/2018 11:45

Too right!

[meijiman] 10/10/2018 14:46

yes the ceo still gets paid a monthly salary. He's lovin it.

[cjohn] 25/9/2018 10:15

Yes. Still pretty cheap. But then there isn't much of a business left.

[zcaprd7] 24/9/2018 14:06

Oh I see, some sort of leveraged buy out? They will be getting the R&D grants as well, not sure how long those projects last, but they keep referencing them in the RNS'

[cjohn] 24/9/2018 09:05

The German management should pay a couple of million to PVCS for the business and assets. That would be an OK outcome, though I just can't help wondering if there isn't more value than that in the written down assets.

[zcaprd7] 20/9/2018 10:00

Yes, I'm sure that's how they'll position it, don't see why they need any cash, there isn't any debt is there?

[cjohn] 19/9/2018 17:05

Local management might buy out the German business: given that winding it up would cost a couple of million - ?? - that might be the best outcome.


If they hand over a couple of million for the privilege, all to the good.

[zcaprd7] 18/9/2018 12:30

Not swiped then, I meant the old "we'll take that off your hands for £1" routine, and it's millions of pounds worth of plant and machinery...
