Whats peoples thoughts on this one?

I brought in Jan made 30% then sold near the top, but its since dropped from 64p to 42p.....im thinking of getting in again, anybody holding?

partridge all i am saying is that the order book is better @2.6m and they have made savings in the outflow of cash ,have seen the sp around this price for a long time i have dealt in these at 50-60p i still think the worst is behind them, market leaders ?

Fair comment 700202, but savings made from cutting overheads and there are limits to whether this can be repeated and still have a viable enterprise left. First half sales dreadful, second half should be better but cash is the key. Many businesses have failed when growth too rapid from a low base - those sales need working capital to support them and invoice discounting or debt factoring might help BED if sales come through as hoped. Good luck with it - some years ago I thought Marconi could not go any lower and doubled my loss as a result....taught me always to focus on cash generation.

I've been watching this too since early 2005 and could be a nice recovery multi bagger tucked away in the ISA. Not convinced yet mind.

a few small buys and starts moving gently up a little sleeper starting to wake up bought in again 50k @7.75 looking at 12/15p by christmas

Starting to creep back up. Big exhibition coming up for them later this year.

Nice rise today, might be tempted to dip my toe in the water

Evolution start buy recommendation today, target 15p

Picking up again. Further orders are expected in Q1 and following their first order from Japan, we may expect to see more business here as the economy continues to pick up.

ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ? BIG DROP

700202, are you still holding from 35.5p and 21p?

HI CANADA1 YEP AND MORE AT 11P

Not good , there must be some bad news.
On the upside the R.S.I looks extremely over sold, could be a bounce.

no bounce with a flat bull, i just know what is happening here ,my summer holiday is out the window

A lesson to be learnt reading this thread

Bounce!!!!!

bed woken by takeover not investor interest, i,m still in, those of little faith

Accountants comments with 3rd quarter results very telling.Refer back to posts 8 and 10. Cash is king.

Nasty drop today - looks like a big holder is bunking off.
Never liked this stock with punters piling-in believing this was the answer to microelectronics, etc.
No company news, but my guess is they aer running out of cash and maybe customers as Recession pushes orders back. . . . and test equipment goes back even further.
This is often the snag with a small-co with little bredth and no "bread-n-butter" product, to pay for overheads, directors and office staff.

Tuesday +40% rise today ( still very low sp) - but on Zero Volume!
(as at 10.30 am). Perhaps yesterday's fall was an error?
Really odd - Alternatively, is there a large Buyer "in the wings" -i.e. taking advantage of the fall...?
I never liked this stock. . . . . and still don't .

- It would be nice to read alternative views -

(EDIT after close of trading)
100,000 sold and 4,000 bought it seems - that's under 2k-worth (for the 100,000) - yet the MM's shift the price 40% - whoever wanted to sell has a kind Broker. OR - was the Sell really a buy?
- All very confusing - these were over 2 when floated in 2001 -
An investment of 100,000 then could have bought you a decent house, which now would be showing a 30% rise, BED is showing a 99% fall - Ooer!
Bargepoles!!!
