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.

Anyone know why there has been a dull day here until 15.34, then no more sells but buys go from 256k to 3.25m?

Why the drop of 20% ! ?

Buys just hit 8.2m with no further sells. the drop suggests a stock overhang, with the last T trade for 4m shares mopping it up. There is a NW based lawyer who specialises in PI claims who is a notifiable shareholder; maybe he just added?

This is one of the worst shares in the market...it was 26p about 2 years ago and it is now 2.5p....AVOID at all cost.

If you didn't buy at those prices what does it matter. Surely you only avoid it if you think it is going out. It may have sufficient large holders to ensure that doesn't happen; in which case doesn't that suggest that at the current level the sp is option money.

there is a discussion on iii as to whether the 4m (delayed) trade was a buy or sell. On the basis that a one hour delay would put the 2.5price down as a sell. Any views?
And what difference would that make to our sentiment...in the end it would balance buys and sells today despite high volume.

as far being a bad share....the 26p was in hindsight as unrealistic as the 2.5p now so its an unfair judgment, i'm sitting on a loss but still believe I will come good with this share. Its a bit more complicated than just comparing the sp.


GN

You are probably right on that GN. Whayever, it means that someone has bought at least 4m shares.(ie 2.7%); there are already two recent lge holders, Vincent Tchenquiz with 12.3m, (8.07%) and Michael Connell with 8.2m (5.4%). One is in property and the other is a lawyer. It may be significant that ETQ appointed ARM Corp. Finance and changed brokers to Keith Bayley Rogers on 27/6.
In my view the 17.5% combined Tchenquiz and Connell holdings should provide an 'insurance policy' to ensure that this co. doesn't go further down w/o a deal being found for it. This could represent a spec. opportunity to buy.

Thanks sharesure but can you check your maths?
8.07 + 5.4 = 14.1
14.1 +2.7 = 16.8

If i give you 5 and 4 can you give me a tenner?

GN, it's been a tough day. You're right. My acct. is often puzzled too! Still, 14.1% is still a reasonable commitment. Maybe there will be an announcement that one of their stakes has just grown by 4m shares. Hope so.

sweet dreams

Cor...What a crazy day of trading. Hopefully some explanations as to why will come soon ?

Hope that will be an RNS about an increased holding for one of the existing notifiable stakes.

Does anyone know the date that the Nightingale trial data will be published ?

i think the trial period runs till november,

ake144 thanks.. I wonder who is collecting the data from the units? It would be interesting to check out the raw available data gathered up until this point in time.

The spate of sales todaycame from one source who I know. The reason he sold was to get into another stock which looks hot to trot very soon, ie not a reflection on ETQ, other than boredom. The talk in the AC world is that the company has some good news to announce but for some reason the mgt.are holding back on it. Very frustrating time being a holder of these; cannot imagine their major shareholders are too impressed either.

There is an interesting BBC documentary this coming Monday all about super bugs within the food industry.

The statement from etq entitled 'Landmark Deal' places the Food Industry first with regard to its air treatment products, hospitals come last!

YoYo, Are you able to post that statement on here or precis it?

The statement was made Feb 2005. It seems to seperate AC and AT, talks about repositioning of the company and hints of a LONG TERM relationship towards AT:-

Energy Technique has signed a landmark agreement for the distribution of its Diffusion Air Treatment range of products in France.
The companys Diffusion Air Conditioning division has also achieved a 31% increase in sales on a year to year basis over last year.
Chairman Gerard Thompson said, "These key developments represent the first and second of the breakthroughs we have been working for. They are crucial early steps in the repositioning of the company instituted when I took over as Chairman last October. In particular, we look forward to a long and successful relationship with our new French partners."
The French agreement has been reached with Creactif System S.A., based in Rennes and St. Brieuc in western France and the leading regional technical advisor and distributor of specialty air treatment products to the FOOD SRVICE INDUSTRY, schools, clinics and hospitals.
Creactif will distribute Energy Techniques Nightingale air purifier, the NQ Clarifier, and the NQ500. Also as part of the agreement, Creactif will also distribute the companys Diffusion heating product range.
The Diffusion Air Conditioning ("AC") business is based in Basingstoke, Hants., and has become one of the UKs leading distributors of products manufactured by Clivet, Panasonic, LG and Fujitsu. To accommodate the larger sales volumes, Diffusion AC recently moved into larger warehouse and office premises, virtually doubling its capacity.
