At 12p this looks a great BUY.Remember after the deal with Suvair this shot to around 30p ! Next news I am sure will be the announcement of some major deals.Fill up at this level.

come fly with me.............

:-)

With a few profit takers in today and more news regarding the hospitals out today (MRSA's cases have doubled) this may be one of the last chances to get in at 5p before this steadily starts to climb. It has the capability to leap in a single day (as witnessed earlier in the week 70%+ in a single day.) RR

Would be nice if the sp moves the same as it did in January 2002 from about these levels.But the Risk Grade has shot up and it might be difficult to sustain the recent movements.Not a very positive day and only small punters evident...despite which the price moved around a bit too much for my comfort.Is that a 20% spread I see before me?

It is 20% at the moment (after the bell) but after 0830hrs in the morning I suspect it won't be. Perhaps down to 0.25p spread (5% maybe).

did you notice today, afternoon news,, the mention on bbc
about mrsa,
did you also notice the last hour all buys,,1\2 million of them
hope it continues where it left off,

Looks like we're clearing alot of sells this morning, probably on the back of little news flow at the weekend and hot money going elsewhere ? I bought +200k but haven't sold as this looks like it could get up to 6-7p in 6 months or so which would be an acceptable return.

What I'm still trying to establish is whether it was the strongest performing part of the business that saw sales increase by +31% and that the others were flat or whether the other parts are in similar rude health ?

Any opinions / thoughts would be appreciated.

If we can get another few little rises then a breakout in the chart would look promising, and i have a good feeling in my bone.

Slight drop in the offer price whilst Bid price stays the same may entice some buyers in prior to the bell.

todays news states change of advisor and broker

Energy Technique plc is pleased to announce the appointment of Keith, Bayley, Rogers & Co., Limited as broker to the Company, and ARM Corporate Finance Limited as nominated advisers to the Company as of June 27, 2005.

anyone know anything about these two or how they might be better at promoting the company?

about a month to go before results to judge by last year. Is this a precursor to something that needs to be handled better...( we can but hope!!)

Wouldn't be surprised to see a sale of the traditional business as it is very seasonal, leaving management 100% time to focus on the more exciting bug busting side of the business. As for changing advisors, would reckon these may be better plus might be more appropriate if the company is about to grow via an acquisition? Just conjecturing.

I would have to disagree a little with you sharesure, this business wouldn't survive without the 'ordinary' part. the nightingale may be exciting but its not yet enough to sustain a business on its own ( aparently).

As for the seasonal issue I think that is far less the case than you suggest. They are not focused on selling fans and ac units to joe bloggs in the summer heatwave....rather most is direct into construction projects which operate year round. Aircon plant goes in when a building is refurbished or built irrespective of the season. there is of course a seasonal effect but maybe not too distorting.

lets see

GN

Gn, Agree that the Nightingale part is too small and therefore would need an acquisition to give the business the critical mass if you cleaned out the traditional manufacturing part. But that is what would help revitalise this business and I would hope that is what the mgt will do. Seems to have been higher volume, early on almost all was buying. Was it tipped somewhere? IC did refer to it some 4 weeks ago so maybe they'll return to it this Friday?

Shares magazine's article on MRSA and the companies which might benefit omitted ETQ. Surprising given the trial of its equipment at Basingstoke hospital. Maybe it is a money issue for the government: being sued for dereliction of duty versus capital costs of taking appropriate measures? If the NHS ever gets to funding measures for prevention of this problem then ETQ should be well up the queue to benefit.

up again today and breaking through the 3p bid level. others on ample are suggesting stories that the factories are working overtime on orders, though for which producrts is not clear...something seems to be changing.

i was introduced to this company through shares magazine some three years ago......maybe they were also let down by its progress.

nightingale should be seen as a wide range solution to airborne pathogens and not solely as a mrsa related product....all hospitals should have them at least for isolation wards....


GN

GN : They also need units in offices, factories, mail sorting offices etc plus a lighter version of Nightingales on aircraft to make spraying passengers with aerosols a thing of the past. Overriding all this is in my view a need for an acquisition of a larger company, possibly inheriting some of its mgt. as apart from the CEO, I think there is little depth/range in capabilities within the existing company. Pretty sure their new advisors will tumble to this fairly fast if they haven't already. The sp rise and increased volume suggests someone knows something.
As for Shares mag. not picking up on them, that is not a surprise given their current focus; I think the mag. is changing and not all of those changes are improvements.

Just read this from another board.

noc, very relevant link. The NHS just seem happy to ignore airborne pathogens as a cause because the government doesn't want to spend the money. Maybe the activity around ETQ means some progress is being made. Not before time.
