ECKOH TECHNOLOGIES (ECK)     

Legins - 31 Oct 2003 11:01

A recent aquisition for Intelliplus Group plc and new contracts for this company are coming in thick and fast. Result - share price is consistently heading north - Up 46% since 1/10. Perhaps one to quietly be a ten bagger over the next few months. DYOR

LOL

Thanks for that ajren.

The price is ticking up slowly but surely I am glad to say. I wonder if there is something in the pipe line that we don't know about.

:)

ajren - 13 Nov 2003 17:32 - 23 of 279

Perhaps,but I doubt it on such a low Volume.

Incidentally,Volume is often the best way to analyse any share.The greater
the Volume means Institutions are analysing and acting on new information/or
in 99 per cent of the time anticipating what MIGHT be good information e.g.
Company X hopes to get financial facilities in 3 weeks.They will CALCULATE
the likelihood of that happening and price it in BEFORE the finance is agreed
-if they think,from their research in the City,that it will be agreed.

ajren - 13 Nov 2003 18:06 - 24 of 279

I did exactly that when I bought Corus at 8 p i.e.decided,on the information
given,that they would get the finance.However,I sold at 14 p and they went
up to 32 four -approx - months ago.I still feel sick.

NEWS :-
Bullish

Volume only 901,953.Institutions DEFINITELY have priced in Nov 12 news.

Legins - 16 Nov 2003 12:37 - 28 of 279

ticker, There is something in the pipeline that the MM's are confident about & the future of growth for ECK. The best indicator to show support of this is the RSI(14) which I think rates the strength of sentiment of a company with MM institutions. When the RSI() is above 50 and rising and stays above that level the share price is going up and that is exactly what the indicator has been doing with ECK for some while. It seems the investment ECK has made into artificial intelligence for voice recognition software & phone line capacity to 8000 lines some while ago to increase & strengthen its customer base, products & services is paying off.

As more deals get signed, ECK's profit & cash position position will just get better and probably, this is what the MM's are in the know about, that further deals in the pipeline are fairly imminent.

ticker - 16 Nov 2003 16:41 - 29 of 279

Thanks for that info Legins. I think this is a good stock to hold and am looking forward to a good steady rise.

ckmtang - 17 Nov 2003 07:51 - 30 of 279

have a good week....

ticker - 17 Nov 2003 11:43 - 31 of 279

We might have a rough ride today. The FTSE is down over 1%!

ckmtang - 17 Nov 2003 11:46 - 32 of 279

yes... so we need to look forward the rest of this week.

ckmtang - 17 Nov 2003 11:47 - 33 of 279

RED day today

ticker - 17 Nov 2003 11:48 - 34 of 279

Looks that way across the board.

ajren - 17 Nov 2003 11:52 - 35 of 279

MY OPINION but dyor

I am very optimistic and can find no reason anywhere for todays downside.
However,I do not have shares.....but I might.

Legins - 17 Nov 2003 12:33 - 36 of 279

I think the red day today is purely due to the FTSE's reaction to Wall St last Friday and as a result the MM's got out of the wrong side of the bed this morning. Should see the price picking up again during the rest of the week.

Could be a good day for buying!

ticker - 17 Nov 2003 13:18 - 37 of 279

Totally agree with you Legins.

ajren, you are a wise man. This company has a great product, they already have a few FTSE 100 companies signed up for their products and am sure there will be more contract wins to come.

ckmtang - 17 Nov 2003 13:22 - 38 of 279

if it is not too much trouble can you mention whcih FTSE 100 companies signed up their product?

This is why wechose Eckoh, to provide us with market leading hosted solution capability and acreative and responsive delivery team. In addition, with regulations tighteningon mobile use in cars, the ability to use speech recognition instead of thephone keypad becomes vital going forward when designing services for businessusers on the move, and Eckoh gives us the capability to deliver on this withconfidence.'Nik Philpot, Chief Operating Officer of Eckoh Technologies said: 'We are veryhappy to announce another important contract for Eckoh Speech Solutions withthis exclusive agreement with Wire-e.

Wouldn't be surprised if ECK's next deal in the pipeline is with Orange or T-Mobile.

Global Nomad - 17 Nov 2003 23:20 - 41 of 279

Legins, doesn't the term exclusive apply both ways? ie vodafone cannot use another supplier and eck cannot supply a vodafone competitor?
