cestnous - 99% sure I never said that.

Cos rue doesn't make predictions.

'I'm not buying this because it's not going to go up.'
Goes up strongly.
Carp call in my book.
Better to make no call at all.

[supasapi] 21/10/2013 09:30

there is no way of establishing who has made the most money on these boards, nearest indicator is to look at posts of the past and see where the money was at that time

[ruethewhirl] 21/10/2013 09:12

re: 1720

Oh not as bad as you think CR.

A carp call would be to lose money, no?

Made a bit on THT, not as much as you I bet, but we can't hit the fences on every swing can we?

Besides, made some cash elsewhere while I wasn't in THT so I don't feel like a total plonker.

[toffeeman] 21/10/2013 08:27

CR - is it you making the 1 share trades:)

[bones] 21/10/2013 08:01

For the record, it was 31st October 2012 last year, CR:



But I am not surprised it is later this year with all the upheavals there have been. Better to have accurate records than rushed announcements.

[bigbigdave] 21/10/2013 08:01

Good spot CR, hopefully no bad thing then. Nice start this morning.

[cockneyrebel] 21/10/2013 07:50

They have never before had results in late Oct - always been first 2 weeks in Nov going back to 2007. Usually 2nd or 3rd but been on 14th before.

W/C Oct 28th may have been a pencil in as it wasn't a fixed dare imo.

[mikepompeyfan] 21/10/2013 07:08

You're right dave. I've just had to edit the date in my diary.

[bigbigdave] 21/10/2013 07:00

They've put the date back then, last time I looked on the website it definitely stated W/C 28th October.

Interims are 14th November according to Volex website. This is 2 weeks later than last year so maybe someone had made an assumption?

Guess after all the upheavals and management changes, the accountants have given themselves a little more time to prepare.

[rimmy2000] 20/10/2013 20:23

1/2 year results Thursday 14 November. Is this the next update.. thought I had read someone here post late October?

[cestnous] 20/10/2013 15:55

Tootruere:rue

I just invented a new word :¬)

[cockneyrebel] 20/10/2013 11:11

so is that a good or bad thing Rue?

You're calls on THT have been pretty carp imo.

CR

[ruethewhirl] 20/10/2013 00:08

Rue is in VLX.

[greenroom78] 19/10/2013 18:35

I've had a small position since the summer which I added to in the middle of last week. Still nothing substantial but I am contemplating a final tranch at these levels (although I may wait to hear what they have to say). A few of the recovery stories have taken hold of late and we've seen the likes of THT and WIN rallying fast. I do feel with the chart turning up that VLX could also do similar.

I do agree with CR that it may not happen overnight but with the right application for the BoD there is no reason why these can't be back where they were in 12 months or so. Again another point to note is the frequency of director buys over the period of negativity in the share price. They clearly see it as a blip.

NAI.

[saucepan] 19/10/2013 17:09

Helpful analysis, CR; appreciated. I have been watching VLX for a while with a view to opening a position. Time to act, I suspect :-)

[cockneyrebel] 19/10/2013 13:32

Don't let me persuade you - I hold so I'm biased :-)

CR

[maurillac] 19/10/2013 11:46

On the chart, these are the three interesting aspects imo:



This fall was on the co taking their eye off the ball imo. A new board that knows what it is doing can return a stock back to it's former highs swiftly if they work fast and focus the fast growing higher margin parts of the business imo.

Secondly this chart:



Which just shows how rapidly the share price can rally here as market sentiment gets behind it because the potential is so great if the board get it right imo.

The chart is gently curving up too - I prefer that to sharp moves as they can indicate short term buying rather than a steady drip of good news leaking into the market which these curves up seem to indicate more often imo.



I'm not into MACD's and Elliott waves and Bollengers - I just like trends and there's interesting ones developing here imo.

Personally I think it takes 12 months for the new board to start to demonstrate they are doing the right things to get a co in shape but the shares tend to respond before then - usually gently and then more steeply imo - as the mkt first gives the new board the benefit of the doubt and steeper once they demonstrate they are delivering imo.

So with this trading update I'm not expecting bells and whistles as the new CEO has only been in place since July. But I expect them to perhaps layout a bit more of what they are doing, possibly throw in a bit of less positive news on costs or restructuring but to give a general feel that they are on the case and acting fast.

If we get that, in this sort of mkt I thing the mkt will buy the story, VLX's rally will continue and perhaps by year end we might be testing that 150p resistance on the chart again.

The real point being that if and when they do demonstrate they have the co recovering sharply we're likely to see a rally like that one from 2010 imo.

All just my opinion, dyor etc - an exciting stock but also a bit of risk based on the history even if that was under different management.

[maurillac] 19/10/2013 09:50

im no chartist but from the above we are headed for 350+ then thorpematt ?

[saucepan] 19/10/2013 08:54

Thorpematt: nice charts. I am currently just watching VLX.

[thorpematt] 18/10/2013 22:43

Volume is a little low but it's ticking up nicely I think.

Meanwhile I've been dabling in the chart. VLX has an histric correllation with 90 day MA. Resistance and support and change of trend is evident in the long term chart:-



I TRUST THE CHANGE OF TREND IS OBVIOUS TO YOU ALL?

Closer to the present I suspect we may see a recovery based upon the 90day MA as support.



At the lowly level of the present share price we potentially have a significant upside...

[bigbigdave] 18/10/2013 16:59

Breakout to fresh highs coming next week imo.
