You couldn't have sold in any volume anyway from 85p down to 70 (when you could have sold some volume). Quite a lot did, and this lot appear to have been buying them, per the RNS:

3. Details of person subject to the notification obligation(iv)

Up from sub 3% to over 5% - another mysterious value fund.

"Investing Away From the Crowds" - sounds a bit threatening.

Must be the oligarchs, being booted out of London by the latest government 'crackdown' (to be abandoned the next day), looking for a safe haven for their laundering - the Swiss are ever helpful at that sort of thing. Make you proud to be a holder...

Can't sell! They're not giving any quotes to sell.

Chart says 60p.

[toffeeman] 29/1/2018 16:04

Nat what a Bumi :)

Yes I've just been reading that. Nathaniel Rothschild. He's been head of the company since 2015 and owns 25% of the company. Just bought some back at 69.85p. Will add more on weakness. My buy is showing as a sell by the way

[imastu pidgitaswell] 29/1/2018 15:30

I think if the bloke who is CEO became the CEO because he owned 25% of the company and was fed up with assorted numpties trying and failing to get a handle on how to run the business, and being rewarded for their failures, then he is not likely to run it into the ground, thereby destroying the value in his shareholding.

Calm down, the price is where it was three months ago, up from 40p give or take for the prior twelve months. The speed of the fall is the dramatic element, as always.

[wadget] 29/1/2018 15:29

Rubbish 0.5p missed, you must try harder :-)

Probably regret this but I've just bought the VIX ETF called VILX
as curve starting to tick up and reckon market volatility is imminent.

Only need ValiRx now for a full house..

Wadget actually just checked my account I got 85.5p not 86p. I'm just concerned about this moving to AIM. Are the directors etc trustworthy people? Does anyone know what they are paying themselves? I think this is a good indicator? Hawkins from Vislink paid himself a kings ransom for destroying the value company. Another one I can think of is Tony Stiff from Flowgroup another very high earner on AIM. He took the company from 49p all the way to below a penny. These are the type of people to be wary of in my opinion. Neither of course are still ate the respective companies rats and sinking ships come to mind. No doubt they will resurface elsewhere

[fillipe] 29/1/2018 14:51

Just bought back in again, slightly under 69p and very happy with that.

Same here - I was also a Vislink victim - lost a real packet there....twice over!

VLX - I had two holding and went out at 84p, although feel sorry not to be having some as I can't quite figure out the rationale for the fall.

As far as it being AIM, that was known ages before it actually happened and I had concluded most ii's and large holders had already had plenty of time to get their houses in order.

Ah, well - we'll see.

Oh dear we seem to be suffering a bit of a short-ciruit !

That was a cunning move 1fox1 selling at 86.

[1fox1] 29/1/2018 10:41

The curse of AIM. In my opinion it's a dodgy market. The last company I owned that transferred to AIM virtually went skint. Vislink (VLK) Now known as Pebble Beach. Was once a nice little tech company till it fell into the hands of a certain someone who fleeced the shareholders. I would be very wary of the motives of a company that transfers to this market. Sold at 86p. If someone can give me a viable reason why they went to AIM I'm out

[wadget] 26/1/2018 12:16

Decent director buy.. hopefully will halt the recent decline..
electric vehicle cabling gotta be a winner surely.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 15/12/2017 10:04

Slipped in an after hours 150,000 at 88p yesterday - and now dropped it a few percent. Bit naughty...

[fillipe] 12/12/2017 10:41

Just keeps on steadily reaching higher....all the way since last September.
Small bites now, but still inching ahead, almost daily.

Charging cables...

:-)


From the half year blurb:

the Group began power cord production for one of the world's leading electric vehicle manufacturers. Having been in discussion and development with this customer for more than twelve months, the Group is thrilled to see commercial production finally commence and expect this account to become a significant multi-million dollar account over the coming years. Production of these power cords is from our largest factory in China which is set to become a market leading facility in the manufacture of high power electric vehicle cords.

Indeed. They can't tell the whole story, but boy, I wish I'd known how to use them back in 2000-2003! Though learning about them did save me a fortune in 2008/9.

[imastu pidgitaswell] 03/12/2017 15:04

Quite a few of them spent exchanging unfathomable drivel with certain posters in Another Place. The way things are going, those days might return...

Hope all well.

Had forgotten about 200 day moving averages 'n all that stuff...

Yes, 90 is a clear resistance (previous support in 2013) on that chart.

Re PE ratio, important to note earnings are reported in Dollars, share price is in Sterling. Probably helpful, but Dollar not as strong as Euro against Sterling. But it's all about future earnings, and whether they will be achieved.

Have to say the more I see and hear about the direction of travel regarding electric cars and the important element of government legislation (sensible or not, it is what is it...) around the world, the more attractive investing in a quality cable maker becomes.

[brucie5] 01/12/2017 16:48

What a great little stock this is proving to be. Looks like meeting my initial target of 90p fairly soon, which will complete the bowl on the three year chart. But I wonder how much further it has to climb, potentially. At £75m mcap, it would have to move a third higher to get that 100m threshold that some iis will be looking for. That would be a share price of about 1.10. Current PE at 11 looks undemanding, if the business really is in recovery.

Electric cars charged up


The chancellor unveils extra funds and tax incentives for electric car drivers.

That includes a new £400m charging infrastructure fund, an extra £100m in Plug-In-Car Grant, and £40m for research into charging.


Can't hurt VLX.

Bit of buying at the end . Maybe its going to getting tipped in on the of the investment mags?
