Meanwhile, as the indexes move a couple of %, the media don't notice that BTC rebounds from a drop to 90000 back to 98000.
Sorry o/t but it brings it home how rubbish financial news reporting is. Long may it continue - we can just take money from the numpties who react to headlines. |
DaveMac3 What are the chances that they aren’t? Perhaps a little bit above 0% ! |
Just checked The AGM for 2014 was on 15/7 |
Perhaps Trump and his mates are shorting the markets |
Will my honeysuckle regrow well after heavy pruning? |
It was interesting to hear Oliver Plunkett mention that the only competitor to SRT was possibly China. He is right at the heart of SRT and knows what is going on. China has not revealed itself as having an integrated system like Geovs. However, China is conquering the shipping world with its extended ‘Belt and Road’. It has just funded an enormous port in Peru and no doubt part of the deal will have been a Chinese MDA system. I wonder if SRT would have installed Geovs if asked? Would China have plundered it? Trump USA is all about short term money and is walking away from ‘soft power’. Overnight the World has changed and China will fill the void and take control of all the oceans / ports and fishing. China will control global trade transported by sea. Now that the US is not interested, apart from the US, who has the money? The US was courting Kenya and Tanzania, will China now step in? Will we see Saudi exerting influence? I wonder how much of Africa would interest Saudi? There was speculation that Saudi would fund a MDA system for Egypt. Surely Saudi has to catch up with protecting the Red Sea first. I suspect that there are many countries (including Europe) which are waking up to the fact that they are on their own and the US is no longer interested in the rest of the world. At least Russia no longer has spare cash. |
I had nothing to say as everything was rumours. I attended the AGM in, I think, 2014 about a year after I bought shares. Unless you are implying I am a liar not sure what your point is Super. |
Wizard - ref your 15643 - having checked your posting history here, I see you first posted in a little flurry in 2015, then silence until the middle of 2024. Given your obvious belief in the value of your own opinions, I find it hard to believe you 'have been invested in SRT for over a decade' and yet remained silent throughout that time. The actions belie the words, I'm afraid. |
Fish is very important for the World Bank. I suspect that many parties have learnt from the politics of powerful fishing interests in the Philippines. |
Next week or the week after was the timescale they were suggesting at the AGM for the UKEF, but of course they have been very wrong about that before. For people who were not at the AGM, the hold-up has been due to the UK and Indonesia rewriting their standard export credit contracts with SRT's one being the guinea pig - seven other contracts are also waiting behind SRT. So there should be a flurry of news about the UK and Indonesia on the one hand and SRT specific news with a Bakamla ceremony as well. I should add that at the AGM it was mentioned that SRT had requested that they not be named in the comuniquee when the President met Starmer.
There will be the interims as well, probably later on in February.
I don't know if anyone else noticed but whenever fish were mentioned all eyes turned to J-F. In all the recruitment descriptions fish are mentioned very frequently as well. I think they are spending reasonably heavily on this segment, yet have only one customer to date and that is stalled as we know. So I suspect that there is a lot more to play for than has been mentioned and that SRT are well down the path of having effective solutions for when their customers grasp that complicated nettle. |
Lav has set out the timetable. Indonesia finally signed followed by detailed brokers note which will hopefully show Kuwait early cash already in the kitty. I suspect that ST will be visiting institutions on the back of brokers note with a good story to tell. Hopefully Wizo will sell some more to allow them to get a substantial holding. Which will be first, Kuwait day or brokers note? I suspect that Kuwait will be showing off its new SRT kit for all its neighbours to see. Expect publicity |
You are an optimist Noobie! |
My buys are anchored to a 400p price target. I'm ready to continue buying a rising price
I'll rerate target price upwards at 300p+ |
I’ve got a very interesting history but won’t post it.
However, I am working on a system where I can record the most useful posts on threads and view them later in one place. |
AE possibly a little patronising? I posted not because me selling was of importance but to pint out a considered move in the risk return equation. My sale was part of a move to increase overall portfolio liquidity and one of a number of sales. There is so much macro uncertainty that I felt index moves here and elsewhere had moved ahead of the global economic outlook. Could well be wrong but taking wrapped profits seemed prudent. In my career, starting out as an economist, I managed pension funds, reviewed the banks largest exposures and managed some of my banks largest clients. Thats why i felt a little patronised! |
Wizard2020 your reasons for selling shares is perfectly reasonable but does telling the rest of us add anything to our collective knowledge about SRT? Many boards on ADVFN are littered with meaningless "I bought", "I sold" messages. Some I suspect are not even true. None helps me decide if I want to buy or sell. I suspect it's based more on personal circumstances and how the company is doing. The share price is just one factor and everyone has their own view as to whether it is at the correct level.
It's good to hear that you are a long time investor so "a quick buck" isn't warranted in your case. |
I wonder how many holders have shares outside an ISA or SIPP and are wondering when its “safe” to bed & isa or similar. Is 60p+ a mini sell-off price? |
Air traffic control is a news item because of recent tragic US events. ST often likens MDA and Geovs to air traffic control for shipping. Obviously ships travel at slower speeds so monitoring shipping is not so critical. However, there are certain shipping lanes which are very busy and where Geovs and DAS would be beneficial. I guess that it needs a few serious incidents to make things happen. |
It is all about opinions and our individual decisions.That is what makes the free market.I just want as much knowledge as possible I helping me make my decisions, plus the chart Trend. |
@Wizard2020 - Thanks for your useful response - as the share price hovers around the all-time high which has come and gone on a few occasions.
I first dipped my toe into "Software Radio Technology PLC" in March 2012. A few years ago I posted something about the SRT prospects saying "should I live long enough".
So there may be others here who, as well as considering your advice, are also looking up the average life expectancy table :)
I was impressed by the company back then and still am - through the ups and the downs, they treat shareholders as partners and allies - and as "Grown-ups". Still a rarity in this cynical world. Thank you ST and SRT team.
And the quality of this Board demonstrates the efficacy of their approach.
In case relevant: |
Thanks for the set of investment cliches.
The share price in no way reflects the prospects, but who cares what my amazing conclusion is, without any backup reasoning, without a timescale, without, well just about everything apart from my highly respected anonymous opinion. |
Hi AE. Me trimming my holding is exactly about long term prospects on a risk reward point of view. There has been a significant improvement in SRT's prospects but the share price reflects that. As someone who has been involved in the markets since 1971 the biggest mistake is to be emotionally involved. I have been invested in SRT for over a decade - not really 'a quick buck'. Any analysis of long term prospects has to be judged against the share price movement. I am still an investor and a fan based on analysis and some of the great posts on this forum but I favour balance - it has been said no-one went bust taking profits and incidentally through trading SRT over the years I am on zero base cost. |
Google ' em-trak X100' and you will see lots of stockists around the world who have the literature but not (yet) the item itself in stock.
I enquired of one of them yesterday when they expected the X100 to be available. They responded that they would contact the manufacturer for an update and let me know. This they duly did and said they could expect delivery next week or the following week.
It would seem therefore that SRT have sorted the software glitch and are ready to dispatch.
As soon as this happens we can expect to see lots of reaction and column inches in relevant publications. I have every faith that ST's vision and drive will have resulted in another SRT product which sets the pace for others to follow. Well done to all involved.
Should provide more support for the strengthening share price |
