Yes scooper this one has been very good for me in the past so keen to get some more!

[scooper72] 10/2/2020 22:52

I'm with you on that. This is one I would be happy to see dropping back on the wider market fears re the virus just so its possible to pick some more up at a cheap price.

[nquaile875] 10/2/2020 17:49

I've set a re-buy target of 165p

This is all about China now, and no-one can even begin to guess at when normality will be resumed.

This could have a short term impact, or it could have a massive impact.

No-one knows other than it WILL have an impact.

FWIW this week's Shares magazine has KETL as one of its '6 best small cap ideas'.

It concludes: "Strix offers investors access to the sustainable long-term trends of improving consumer convenience and safety, supported by increasing regulation."

Why Hwar99? What is the basis of your fear?

[hwar99] 06/2/2020 10:09

Yes, new fund raise is what I fear.

[3800] 06/2/2020 09:42

new joint broker can mean fund raising on the way, I wouldn't have thought that here unless there is major expansion planned which we know nothing of yet

[farnesbarnes] 06/2/2020 09:18

Marketing, coverage, etc. I don't think they'd go to the expense if they didn't think worthwhile. Not exactly price moving stuff in the short term, but more medium/long term.

[hwar99] 06/2/2020 09:00

What does a new joint broker usually mean?

[farnesbarnes] 06/2/2020 07:57

New joint broker. They have ambitions.

According to Sony Corp. SNE, +3.83% CFO Hiroki Totoki, the fallout from the coronavirus slowdown on the company’s manufacturing, sales and supply chain operations could wipe out its revised guidance for 2019.

“The impact could be large enough to eliminate the entire amount of the upward revision,” Totoki said.

BP PLC BP, +4.00% said current demand for the year is between 300,000 and 500,000 barrels a day, not the 1.2 million it had anticipated for the year. “There is no question coronavirus, I suspect, will impact demand this year,” a BP executive told investors.

Beer maker Carlsberg A/S CARL, +2.87% said the coronavirus and other concerns are reflected in its guidance. “Almost all night entertainment outlets are closed,” Carlsberg CEO Cees’t Hart told investors. “More than 50% of dining outlets are closed.” Breweries are expected to reopen Feb. 10.

Jewelry retailer Pandora PNDORA, -2.49% said it’s already struggling in China in 2020 but the virus is presenting other threats. “China is currently also challenged by the coronavirus that have left streets empty and forced store closures,” Pandora CEO Alexander Laxik said. “China is the biggest jewelry market in the world and we’re not going to walk away from this.”

Chinese government is going to force another week of holidays - so perhaps KETL loses sales

[eggbaconandbubble] 02/2/2020 17:30

I don't think 2 or 300 deaths with a pollution of 1.4 billion is going to be too marginal.

[albanyvillas] 02/2/2020 14:27

The vast majority of bits KETL sells come from China. As such, the virus-driven disruption overseas is poised to impact the market. Ripple effects are already being felt in industry supply chains, with product shipment delays occurring and some fearing the issue could be exacerbated in the months ahead.

[eggbaconandbubble] 02/2/2020 14:25

Well said TM! Especially your last paragraph. I'm posting with one hand whilst running the other down the back of the sofa!

[thorpematt] 02/2/2020 01:18

Fear! Yes it is indeed what moves markets. Facts play a poor second-fiddle in the world of stock trading....which of course is exactly why it is so easy to make money from the whole, rather predictable process. (once you've been doing it a whil that is).

Bloomberg has linked so much data and has so many pretty charts on its terminal its pretty scary in itself.

An old friend of mine (who now works for a university in Maryland) sent me a very useful link which tracks cases logged, deaths, recoveries and geography of "2019-nCoV". It reminds me of the type of thing you see in Hollywood films where they want to give you a convenient view of armageddon (just before Bruce Willis saves the day).

Back to reality and facts, and this artcile from USA today puts a perspective on the whole thing:-



Of course we don't want facts to get too much in the way of a nice story and so I am fairly sure we'll get even more of a pullback in the indices - especially when the USA gets a few more cases on home soil.

Me, I certainly will be more than happy to take advantage of any buying opportunities - particularly for the high quality stocks which are often so difficult to buy at sensible prices.

Pray, tell us, how do you imagine 'Wu Flu' will be contained.

It won't.

On the bright side, we've been here before several times - SARS, Bird flu, AIDS etc.
Did the world end? Did they cause a precipitous crash in the markets???

Coronavirus is flu. People die of flu - The vulnerable especially.

Get over it and just drop the project fear chum!

[albanyvillas] 01/2/2020 07:19

antil Wu Flu is contained this is going to see downward pressure

[nquaile875] 30/1/2020 20:03

I don't see that happening. Looking at the charts it's probably safe around 175, (long term resistance line back to July 2018 that could now form support), if it does fall! It broke 175 in November 2019 and went on a bit of a rise but is retracing a bit within a channel. I could see it sitting around the 180-190 for a while but coronavirus could scupper that in the short term. I'd like to see 175 again if there is short term volatility on fears over sales in China or the new factory and impact on production/distribution.

[onjohn] 30/1/2020 19:54

if it falls through then 130p?

[nquaile875] 30/1/2020 18:55

Yes, I'm watching the 180p level as well!

[johndoe23] 30/1/2020 17:26

Luckily not! Thank you very much. If share price drops to 180p may be time to top up...
