Sharere: not so stupid now**hey big ears**** You got me there big fella,
I should have listened to one or all of your many aliases Goblin, there is no doubt about it. I'd be buying flat out at 23c today if I had. Ah well, thems the breaks. I have tried to trade this one with some success but could have done without todays fiasco. Still, I've been in and out since 8c so perhaps not such a blow. Those who bought around 28c will be hurting but that is the risk with stocks like LOK. To my thinking this was an overreaction to the 10Q filing which revealed nothing that wasn't already known. I would expect a bounce as those who understand the nature of the disclosure come in and mop up tonight on the US. Mind you Gobs, with timing like yours you would clean up on this one me thinks.
regards

ShareVery direct, and good post. It's only others that will feel the shame for the directors TSS.
A leopard does not change its spots, nor a tiger its stripes.
Their record indicates that they can't feel shame. With these "piggy backs" now approved, they will obtain even more power. Small investors, unless there one of their mates, will be the losers.- *Removed* this post has been removed from public view

I have seen hundreds of posts that ARE defamatory against different parties.
My conscience is clear; I don't feel any remorse about what I posted. Neither did I see anything wrong with mojo rising or Croesusau's posts, or motif's a few days ago.
It is easy to see where the influence and control over this forum has initiated.
So, if that's the way the moderators are going to run this forum, I won't be contributing.

Sharerogerm, while you've deciphered the good and bad posters, have you also pigeon holed the ones that have fallen in love with the stock and reject any opinion other than the one they want to hear?
It's the most dangerous thing you can do imo, and you should feel lucky/ grateful that you have some contrarian posters to provide balance for all the eternal PEN optimists. But what would I know?
PEN is very tradable, but not out of the woods by a long way imo.- *Removed* this post has been removed from public view
-
ShareSo you can see both sides of the story matty.
I'm in the same boat having traded PEN from time to time.
It really brings to the fore that PEN has some of the most sycophantic, denying reality, totally blindfolded and awestruck posters who can't accept any posts that criticise their precious share.
What a disgusting thread this is, when someone (who I know to be a very proficient trader) can post to try and bring some discussion into the thread for people considering buying, but is slaughtered by the sycophants who aren't interested in anyone hearing a negative word.
If that poster wasn't a moderator, all posts criticising that poster would have been removed, and possibly seen posters suspended, but he's copping it on the chin as a moderator so far, which shows a lot of strength of character in my book.
Shame on many of you.- *Removed* this post has been removed from public view

ShareAgree seuss.
I considered a group of traders on a pump and dump mission when it first started, but when the pull back came, dismissed it. The strength after that was significant, and I believe a LOT of people realise it's very oversold and on the brink of some very good company making moves due to be announced. Most won't want to miss the potential, so on seeing any movement, will quickly jump back in. That's no pump and dump.- *Removed* this post has been removed from public view
-
ShareI know. Maybe I didn't explain myself very well.
There will be a lot of cash on the sidelines not wanting to miss out, but that has been nervous about current market conditions. Movement in stock price is enough to bring that money back in. Nothing to do with management, just investor psychology imo.

Do you have a 2.7 million deposit for a new home?
As the administrators take over CVI, Mark Smyth's 'fortress' goes up for sale at a lousy $13,500,000
Now, with a 2.7million deposit, and interest rate of 7.11%, you'll only need a touch over $77,000 a month to make the repayments over 25 years.
Feeling sick enough yet?
Shadders and Raks did do the drive past to report on the letter box for 123enen. I remember it well from just after the EGM days.
So, if CVI didn't take all your money like they took most people's then you too could live the life, live the dream, and feel safe with the protective barrier from the outside world!
Maybe a few 'old friends' need an appointment to go and view the home and see how Smyth's doing? Is the dementia well advanced yet? Any house guests? Malcolm Johnson, Anton Tarkanyi, excelsior perhaps?
To make your appointment for Perthites, and just for a sick session for others:

SPK 07/11/2014 10:37 ADDRESS REL: 1037 HRS Spark New Zealand Limited ADDRESS: SPK: Spark Annual Meeting - Chairman's Address MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT 7 November 2014 Spark New Zealand Limited Chairman's Address delivered at the 2014 Annual Meeting, Spark City, Auckland at 11.00am on 7 November 2014 Kia ora and good morning. On behalf of the Board, management and staff of Spark New Zealand, thank you for attending the 2014 Annual Meeting. My name is Mark Verbiest and I am Spark New Zealand's Chairman. This is the first annual meeting since changing our name. This move, while significant, is just a single big step in the ongoing transformation of our business. It's part of a journey that reflects enormous change for our customers and our business. Two and a half years ago we made the decision that we needed to become significantly more relevant and competitive. We needed to do that in order to win with customers, and do so in a way that meant good and growing returns for shareholders. That's when Simon took up the challenge we set of leading Telecom into a brave new future. The Board appointed Simon because we knew this business needed to make fundamental changes and make some tough choices. We were clear that decisions needed to be made with a view to setting ourselves up for a future based around digital services and new ventures vastly different to the Telecom of old. This meant having to address our cost structure, as the traditional margins were being competed away, whilst at the same time ensuring we were at the forefront of delivering services and executing faster, as expectations of customers and competitive intensity continued to increase. Our customers wanted and needed us to change. They wanted us to be a growing New Zealand business that could help them unleash their potential in an increasingly technology-dependent and fast-changing world. Since then, we've been striving to deliver on that promise. We've made many big bold moves to reposition ourselves for a digital future - a future focused very much on the New Zealand market. Changing our name to Spark New Zealand was just one of many big steps on that journey. It was also, I think, an inevitable and essential move if we are to fulfil the potential that our customers, our people, our owners, and indeed I believe all New Zealanders, want to see from us. More than a million New Zealanders have an ownership stake in Spark New Zealand, either directly as a shareholder or indirectly through Kiwisaver investments. That's a responsibility to investors that helps drive our ambitions. At the core of the change we are going through has been a focus on listening to our customers, understanding what drives them, what matters to them, what they value, and what digital services they need to help them do amazing things. At our last results announcement in August this year we were able to share some results that demonstrate solid progress. Here are some headlines from our FY14 financial performance: Our profit was in line with expectations. At the half year, we predicted a better second half performance off the back of customer led initiatives and our Turnaround programme and that is what we delivered. A net 191,000 new mobile customers joined us during the year - taking us back over 2 million connections and halving the gap that existed between ourselves and Vodafone at the time of CDMA closure in mid-2012. Our revenue share of the mobile market improved another two percentage points to an estimated 39%. Cool new services like the free music app Spotify Premium are encouraging many people to take another look (or perhaps look for the first time) at Spark. Great new products such as Unlimited, Ultra Fibre and VDSL are helping maintain our estimated share of fixed broadband customer connections at around 47%. And the launch of Lightbox (with the special deal for Spark broadband customers) gives us potentially even greater appeal. Spark Digital (formerly Gen-i) is continuing its rapid repositioning towards Cloud infrastructure, mobility, managed ICT and platform-as-a-service. To strengthen our position with business customers we purchased Revera and more latterly Appserv, who have built well respected reputations in the cloud arena. Our IT services EBITDA was up 38.5% on the back of our Cloud and data centre investments. Beyond the numbers, we had some huge operational achievements in FY14. This includes; launching 4G mobile; delivering the first part of a major IT system reengineering programme; building a new data transport network; greatly expanding our digital self-service options for customers; acquiring more 700 MHz spectrum than anyone else ... and plenty more. The tough calls we have made to become more competitive have allowed room, alongside the funds freed by our divestment of AAPT in Australia, to invest in the areas where our customers are telling us they want us to be. At the core of all this is a determination to listen to our customers - understanding what drives them, what matters to them, what they value, and what digital services they need to help them in their lives and businesses. We've announced a 1 cent increase in annual dividend, to 17 cents per share for FY14. Combined with a healthy appreciation in the share price, this means our shareholders achieved a total return for the FY14 year of 28%. More recently our share price has climbed further. When considering the performance to date since beginning the implementation of this strategy in June 2013, Spark New Zealand's share price has risen by 38%. Taking into account dividends, the total return to Spark New Zealand shareholders has been 53% over this period. Comparatively, over the same period the NZX50 gross index (including dividends) was up 22%. For this financial year, already one quarter in, we are striving for a return to sustainable earnings growth. In August we announced a guidance of targeting low single digit growth in EBITDA and low single digit decline in total revenue. It's only a few months into it, but the early signs are that the rebranding has proved successful - we are seeing an increase in foot traffic into retail stores, and an increase in online traffic to our websites. When we outlined our core strategy to investors in May 2013, we said that we realistically expected FY14 and FY15 to be years in which we stabilised the business and reduced costs, targeting revenue and margin growth and improvement in unit costs in FY16 and beyond. If anything, we actually think we are slightly ahead of this plan, however we know that the market is not standing still - competition remains intense, particularly in the mobile and broadband markets. The journey is far from finished, however we've put the business in the best position for over a decade to return to genuine, sustainable growth. It's time for us to capitalise on this opportunity and on all the hard work and tough decisions we've made so far. Before I hand over to Simon, I'd like to thank the management and staff of Spark New Zealand for their ongoing commitment to shaping Spark New Zealand into an original New Zealand business. I'd also like to acknowledge the contribution made by Kevin Roberts who retired from the board during the year. Kevin made a great contribution, not only as a director, but also as a coach in encouraging the senior leaders in the business to be bold, move faster and be customer driven. I'd also like to thank you, our shareholders, for your continued support of Spark New Zealand. It's a privilege to serve as your Chairman. As shareholders you are, in effect, brand ambassadors for this company. So I would encourage you to tell your family and friends about the way in which Spark New Zealand is continually changing and how competitive we have become. If you aren't already a customer - give us a try. Become a Spark New Zealand ambassador and never stop starting. Thank you. - ENDS - For media queries, please contact: Richard Llewellyn Head of Corporate Communications +64 (0) 27 523 2362 For investor relations queries, please contact: Mark Laing General Manager Corporate Finance +64 (0) 27 227 5890 End CA:00257377 For:SPK Type:ADDRESS Time:2014-11-07 10:37:18

ShareWe'd have loved to play with your mind GZ, but this one is just uniquely weird!
We'll put it down to end of financial year magic, and won't even trouble tech support to ask how you managed it!
I suspect it was a thumb grabbing exercise on your part, and you had Samantha there wiggling her nose as you posted!
Hmmm. That's my best conspiracy theory for now!- *Removed* this post has been removed from public view

ShareI am guessing that the ASX are giving them grief again, because on page 5 of the presentation, they obviously had the numbers prepared, that were going to be released in time for the AGM. (Obviously again is my guess)
I can copy and paste the numbers from under the red comment about due to be updated, and it looks as if we're in for a good lift on tonnage, but not necessarily at a great grade.
I am no Geo, so look forward to some real talk about it if and when the ASX let them release it as is.
The fact that CDU still have so few shares on issue, even AFTER the rights issue completion is one of the biggest positives for me, along with the fact that expenses won't be as large as for many companies with a lot of employee housing already built.
Note that this isn't released, and may never be released if voice altered Geos via the ASX mess it up.
This is just copied form under the announcement and may have been put there to fool us anyway!

ShareI find that post rather repugnant and cynical cusox.
Right now, imo it's a buy.
What does that have to do with anything else?
Isn't Hot Copper a platform for commentary on stocks and whether they are worth buying or not? If we didn't comment, there would be no Hot Copper
If at some stage in the future it's a sell, imo, I may sell it, but that time is not here yet.
Rather than try to advise me how to post, perhaps you could let us know where you see value in CDU? Do you wait for it to be proven and moving up again?
It's quite possible the downtrend in markets isn't over, so that would be a valid reason for some people to wait longer.
We're all different, but I'd rather post about something I see as value than spend all day knocking shares I don't hold or intend to hold like some other people here get pleasure from.

ShareShadow, that is bull dust, and you know it.
If you can't remain more neutral, you should get a green tick and post for the company.
You simply can't give a value on it without ALL the information.
Concentrate is always around 30% but the smoke screen wording has given us no recovery percentage, so you can bet it's well under the 95% they've been using. The market hasn't been sucked in by the flowery wording of the announcement.- *Removed* this post has been removed from public view

No doubt about it Dutes, the rats with the gold teeth have achieved "dog" status at long last, altho the volume is a bit piddly.
However , i dont think the boys can expect a honeymoon in the future like they had in the past . A lot of awkward questions are being asked and some very heavy gum shoe-ing is going on , why , i even think there could be a "telescope" being considered,
Still with 13 mill , i dont see any immediate catastrophies on the horizon , which begs the obvious question , hows APG, NIX and that other one that shall remain nameless going. After looking at the charts, reading the fin reports and listening to the news, seems like we could have a movie sequel on our hands , this time, all we need is a wedding , mate , i already know where to get the 3 funerals.
Cheers
OI NQ , how they hanging?

Yep, I agree. I know the people as well. They have a whole heap of old TEC ground. Its a great hit. and I think they are continuing the drilling.

These were the first 3 posts ever on CSE.
Although Dezneva only posted "...I know the people as well...", I can see how you may have remebered that as "...the boss being a good bloke..."
Problem is, it was Bendigo he was replying to and not you!
How do you explain that?

ShareI get your drift joewolf.
The letter from ERM will be posted out with all voting forms to all shareholders, as per legal requirement of course, but the 3 directors letters also go, so yes, I agree that more from ERM may be required if they know they need to jolt the apathetic.
Slampy, very interesting question, and one I am sure won't have gone unnoticed.
Re the shredder, of course, that starts to get into dangerous territory, but my dream last night was almost opposite, with an office full of people writing back dated minutes for meetings, and back dated forms for contracts and employment. It was a hectic dream, and I hope there's no reality in it at all.

ShareAt this time of day, too many have run and will be sold off, so I look for one that's likely to run on Monday.
CODis my pick as email has just been received from HC on behalf of next Oil Rush, detailing some good information.
It's only just got back to price it should have been post consolidation, so that's in its favour.
Very little to sell, I like that, as it will move quickly.
Many won't have received the email yet as they're at work, etc.
