ERG finds a slide show can produce results

Maybe all a company needs to get its share price moving is a good old-fashioned slide presentation.

At least, that seemed to help the scrip of beleaguered smartcard company ERG sail up more than 16 per cent yesterday.

Unfortunately a 16 per cent increase translates to the addition of only about four cents. ERG investors haven't enjoyed the lofty heights of $4.27 for a couple of years now.

But the slide show - delivered by CEO Peter Fogarty to the Australian Shareholders Association on Tuesday - did spark some enthusiasm from punters.

Almost 30 million shares changed hands compared with the average level of five million
