will it ever recover to the 38p i paid for them??

Yes!
A very obvious late buying run, but not a huge sum involved! Quite concentrated after 16:00.

Lets hope it was meaningful!

Looked at the trades for a few weeks, seems every friday there is a rally for shares and then they drop the price the following week, is this simply not another trap.

Look how cagey the MMs are ! Is news expected ? According to a poster on ADVFN there is a two day presentation to institutions taking place !

Interesting rise today. Is it the precursor to news ?

Is this the end for ARX?

Expect massive dilution with new shares offered at a discount 4p

Can you elaborate please TM?

LOL

There is a rumour of a placing. Question is at what price and for what purpose. Remember there was talk of a large non-ULD order.

Beginning to think I am the kiss of death.....I have waited ages to jump in here....thought it seemed like a good time....

perspective please people!

1. we all knew a fund raising was coming
2. this will NOT be at anything like 4p
3. firm now has excellent order flow and can now justify asking for working capital
4. my call is that they raise at between 6p and 7p and these rally to 20p in 3 months
5. once complete we will at last have certainty...35p again???

nice thoughts proptrade - let's hope so.

I hope you are correct proptrade.

I think the region of 5.5p is more likely.

I'm pleased I was unduly pessimistic concernimng the placing price.
Now announced as 6p for those who haven't seen it

That should place a floor under the SP. Lets hope the acquisitions bear the expected fruit!

I liked this extract:- "In the second half of this year there has been a marked increase in interest and enquiries for the Aerobox ULD, it said."

But not the comment that some deliveries would be pushed through into 2006 because of changing delivery requirements from one customer!

perfect placement. please read my last post for what happens next!

Isn't this a comany with two major drawbacks?-:-
1) one-product
2) one industry
I don't like single-product companies ... competition can destroy their game in one and unless they are "the best" they will have no experience to fall back on.
Working in one-industry is a real dumb move ... since any problem will be reflected throughout your customer-base. Furthermore, if orders pick-up there is a risk that you'll be overloaded and competitors will muscle-in ... never easily removed.
/
This company needs to ditch its "Aero" - name .... how about "Betterbx" (I don't like "box" either)...
-and needs to start looking at similar products (ie plastic cages) maybe the supermarkets, industrial carts and so on - that means more investment, but it will smooth out orders and reduce the risks associated with being dependant on a single -industry.
/They are at-risk over energy prices (affects plastic) and this is a worry - but they aren't alone and I suspect their competitors will face similar problems.
Javelin has put the case against this company very clearly.....I hope my contribution may point towards a cure. The sp is quite low, maybe a chance for value-investors, however, I'm unsure that airlines won't have difficulty selling even low-cost seats as World events appear to have dented the Public's desire to fly....and fuel-price rises means that, even Low-Cost, isn't anymore.
I don't hold Aerobox.

thx for the comments but you have to understand that one product companies are not the problems you make them out to be...i take it then you never trade in housebuilders, telcoms, banks or oils? utlimately these are one product single industry companies....so i trust your portolio is choco-block full of conglomerates???

anyway, aerobox is a difficult animal but if it succeeds it will do so in style. if not it will carve out a living like the rest of us....they have made 2 aquisitions recently to diversify their offering.

this is a punt on a company that has so far delivered. they have repeat orders and have successfully raised cash for the next 18 months.

Anyone think that the ARX management would give away a large % of the company if there were not some sizeable orders in the pipeline ?

Looking at the trades today - volume of nearly 1 million (~50% above average) of which 57% were sells including a large T trade sell of 250,000 at 5.50p placed this morning. SP remains unchanged on the day. Also significant 50-200k buys. Have not been looking at the detail on this one for a while - have there been many similar offloadings recently? There must be a considerable overhang from somewhere continuing to be unloaded. It would be good to get an idea of how more there is to go before the SP is allowed to find its natural level - and what that is!

No news since the reverse takeover - anyone picked up any vibes in the ether as to current prospects? When do we expect more news - anything prior to the final results in late March?

Having kicked out most of last years dogs, ARX is on a very short leasehold in my portfolio, having drifted back to ground zero from both August and October spikes. Another large contract wouldn't go amiss - something positive from the new team members even better. Need some action to justify keeping funds tied up here for much longer.

All news and views welcome.

any news out there??

zilch!
