potentially yes, but with a raft of news out on Monday it's pretty meaningless in my opinion and the 400p level still concerns me. How rapid is the expansion, are the order still really flowing in at a pace? Are costs also accelerating and margins decreasing? All relative unknowns at this time.

Well considering the growth data given this week, personally I think Sola will have benefited alot out of it so far.

The important point you may have missed is, has sp got too far ahead of the game? - i.e. will results and trading update need to be truly stellar for current sp level to be maintained? ....... that is why i have been advocating caution for the last couple of weeks, for with so much hot money in this stock, anything less than stellar is likely to result in a sharp reversal, albeit that that may be temporary.

Fair point, would you think the charts would have indicated overbought sign if the sp was ahead of itself. The problem is from what I have read is the stockbrokers have raised the target price every now again. This probably is due to the fact this company keeps providing trading statements every quarter which can be a bullish sign.

here is the chart again ...... rsi is a fair bit higher than neutral and of course the moving averages are always just that! ..... that the company produces quarterly statements is certainly good PR but it does not override the observation i made in post 919
red = 25 dma
green = 50 dma

Sharewatch which has followed this from the outset mentioned an analyst (can't remember who) targeting 450p. You could argue we've had that tested already this month however you can't rule it out again.

all will be revealed next week ...... my own gut feeling is that results and announcement will be insufficient for sp to maintain upward momentum, so at least a short term drop or even slump ...... if that proves to be the case, it is possible that 450 will not only be tested, but will fail with next support at 400.
no, i am not predicting that WILL happen, but merely observing that it may

Does anyone see that the chart is showing a bit of a Pennant trend which pretty bullish indication. All quite before the storm as they put it.

To be honest, no. I continue to think there is an argument to say a H&S pattern is evident and that we are now on the right shoulder. You could also argue that a Double Top is evident due to the price action over the last few days. If both my assumptions are correct a dive on Monday will complete both.
Problem with that thoery is my scenario regarding the convertible bond issue just hasn't panned out, I fully expected near 6 to be achieved by today and in fact I did open a long position this morning at 555, which I subsequently closed flat at 555 this afternoon. I'm certainly not brave enough to have a psoition over the weekend, short or long; I'm assuming of course that the figs will be out on Monday.
So verall, I haven't got much right so far with this stock, except to say I thought it would rise if 500p was breached. But you didn't need to be a rocket scientist to make that assumption!
Will monitor very closely on Monday

Possibly it is 50/50 really, in order to break the head and shoulder i think the sp will need to break the 590p. Having said that though the sp has broken the downward trend about a week ago when it bottom out. IMHO I think it will go up. (I hope !)
;-)
With regard to convertible issues, I am not sure what you expected?

Quite simple really, I expected the SP to be 'encouraged' north to allow the bonds to be cashed in for shares at 5.88.

Very interesting news out today from one of those PUSHING this one in the past.
They've got rid of stock before the results..........
Growth Company Investor
SovGEM - BUY
Companies: SOV
24/04/2007
Profiled by Growth Company Investor at 14.25p, SovGEM has appreciated in share price terms yet remains substantially undervalued given its net asset value (NAV) growth record under loquacious chief executive Hugh de Lusignan.
The emerging market finance house invests in early-stage businesses, mainly in China or PRC-related markets, and issued strong finals for the year to December. The highlight was 51.6% NAV growth to 27.9p, substantially north of the current share price, which looks illogically discounted.
Profits increased from 270,000 to 1m, driven by an increase in realised gains on investment disposals from 450,000 to 1.59m. Realised gains reflected a number of transactions, among them the timely sale of the entire stake in fertilizer maker and first investee Bodisen Biotech, part disposal of its stake in AIM-star Renesola, and the sale of part of its holding in Harbin Electric, a Chinese linear motor maker now quoted on NASDAQ. Encouragingly, the numbers also revealed unrealised gains of 1.59m within the portfolio, up from 1.05m in 2005.
SovGEMs investment focus remains on profitable, early-stage listed or pre-IPO companies that are usually Chinese domestic demand-led, with the investment timing typically tied to a fundraising event, an IPO or graduation to a more senior market.
During 2006, the number of investments burgeoned from four to 15, while three new investments have been added since year-end, and two follow-on investments have been completed. NAV growth continues apace, with directors best estimate of today's NAV akin to 30.67p, representing 143% NAV growth since the group's flotation.
The share price discount to assets might reflect investor concerns about the risks of investing in China as well as early stage businesses generally. However, given managements track record of NAV accretion and de Lusignans palpable enthusiasm for an array of investments within the portfolio, we expect that discount to narrow with news flow.

so SOLA's results are out, but as i have trouble reading and understanding the Sunday Sport, don't expect me to analyise them ..... howvere, i do note that the result would seem no better than forecast back in February, so my guess there will be a lot of disappointed punters, especially on the back of the convertoible bond issue which was NOT (I think) forecast in February

Also not encouraged by the "Funding" statement - clearly discussions not finalised and funding of capacity expansion/associated working capital looks like a big issue.
