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.

Ferret's Stock to Watch: SKILLED GROUP LIMITED
09:06, Monday, 20 February 2006
COMPANY SAYS ITS CORE HIRING BUSINESSES REMAIN STRONG
Sydney - Monday - February 20: (RWE Aust Business News)
*******************************************************
OVERVIEW
********
Skilled Group Ltd (SKE) is now run by Greg Hargrave, the son of
the founder, and looks to be in safe hands.
The shares were languishing around $3 on November 24 and have
climbed more than a dollar since, and accelerated after the company
spelled out a guidance upgrade on December 20 with Corporatefile.
Mr Hargrave, managing director and CEO, is imbued by getting the
right culture into a business and has a passion that the right people
should fit the right job, rather than pursue financial rewards which in
any case appear to come naturally when based on this strategy.
Skilled Group aims to be Australia's largest, diversified
services company.
It covers trades, engineering professionals, production and
logistics, personnel, hospitality and events, child care, rail,
education, nursing and call centres.
The company is also involved in fire truck manufacturing,
workshop fabrication and machining, and a grab bag of port activities
including pollution control, wharf repair, installation and
construction in power and communications etc.
Mr Hargrave told the Australian Financial Review that his father
Frank built the labour hire firm - it is now called a staff services
company - from the early 1960s until it diversified in the 1990s into
project management and other capital-intensive vehicles.
Since taking over the reins Mr Hargrave has sought to refocus
the Skilled brand on its core business of supplying experienced staff.
He told Corporatefile that demand across the company's businesses
in the first half has been strong and it's expecting continued strength
for the remainder of the financial year.
Skilled Group reported EBITDA, excluding divestments, of $34.9
million in the 2005 financial year.
Mr Hargrave said the company was still on track to achieve EBITDA
growth guidance of 15 to 20 per cent in the current year.
"There's been particular strength in the mining and resources
sector, transport, logistics and infrastructure," he said.
"Margin growth has been a continuing focus of our management team
and we've seen EBITDA margin growth in the first half.
"In FY05, excluding profit on divestments, our EBITDA to
revenue was 4.2 per cent and we expect an improvement in FY06," Mr
Hargrave declared.
SHARE PRICE MOVEMENTS
*********************
Shares of the Skilled Group edged 2c higher to $4.21 on Friday,
not far from its rolling high for the year of $4.26. Low was $2.20.
Dividend is 16c to yield of 3.8 per cent. Earnings per share is 24.73c
and p/e ratio is an 17.02. The company has 103.5 million shares on issue
with a market cap of $434 million.
In the last financial year sales revenue increased 13 per cent to
$833.6 million, while net profit (including profit from divestments)
was up 48 per cent at $24.3 million.
Excluding profit from divestments, profit was $13.3 million.
Sales revenue from Managed Labour Services rose 27.4 per cent to
$779.3 million, and EBITDA was 25.3 per cent higher at $33.1 million.
Net debt was reduced to $25 million from $55 million at June 2004

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.

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

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

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

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:

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!

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.

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?

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.

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.
