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.

is the road to success paved with failure?

at the moment it feels like etq is no more than a paving slab........


is this the person to move us forward and upward or lay us down to rest????


GN

Terminator?

I reckon this could be a start. Just hope he is good at strategic direction.

Don't know whether he is good at strategic direction but he is probably very good at Creditors Meetings, he seems to have been to enough !

My guess is that he is Tchenquiz' choice which may be no bad thing

Hatchet Man??

There is not a lot left to axe. ETQ could recover quite fast once its new products are ready, eg in line Suvair unit for retro fits and the Lifebreath products. All Tchenquiz has done is given them the funding until that happens in a month or so. Meanwhile he has a controlling interest via Triandra.

I was in this some time ago. But hasn' t the share price fallen back now.
The question is how many actual orders did they get from the NHS?
My guess is not to many! From memory isn't the SP now around 1.25p.

guru11, This stock is a potential basket case propped up by Triandra(Tchenquiz). But at the current 1p sp it is a speculation on whether you buy believing they have a lifeline from Triandra, or whether this time Tchenquiz has been sucked in to a loser. Not an easy call. As for the NHS I don't think they have won a single money making order, but then neither has any other firm in their business. That's more a reflection on a government which purports to be doing all it can to combat MRSA etc, but spends no money doing it, and not the efficacy of the products on offer from ETQ (or others).

Is this the end ?

yep.

wasnt tony caplin associated with TAD?
follow the man, compound your loss

He was super....lol.

Maybe he can use his influence in the NHS to kick start some action. I continue to watch, while not holding.

hope you aren`t sniggering though beau?

lol, ah well more losses against future capital gains when it goes down.I can add them to MOI,Albert Fisher,Atlantic Telecom,WMG,Yorks.Group, and a few more bought in the heady days of easy money, still minus 40k over nearly ten years isn`t too bad, and half of it has been useful so far against CGT.
Lets hope I need more losses against huge gains for the next decade, well maybe my sprogs can use it.

LOL blinger

I'd be lying if I didn't chuckle a little. I saw TC in action at an EGM last year.....but hey, he may hold some influence here so I'll keep watching with interest. Could do with some new blood to dig my teeth into.

Best of luck in 2006. I'd certainly drink to heavy gains...if I ever see 'em...LOL. (Certainly not in Tad...the biggest loser of the decade).

Beau

Aye, the fat cats get fatter daily, some of the salaries are mind-boggling, back in the eighties we used to reckon that 3/4X the av. wage was pretty good director remuneration for the time,( and we were all 4 shareholders in a private co. too) now its more like 10X, and for what?

Guid New Year to you anyway

Just read Caplins notes to the Interim results, does he seriously believe that sourcing bits and pieces in China is going to bail Diffusion (=ETQ's only real trading arm) out. Sourcing from China will mean a significant rise in commitment to stock (= cash tied up) and, if it works in the very short term, the competition will follow suit, in fact, the Chinese suppliers will approach them , I know as I have experienced this problem. It seems that Caplin is unprepared (as was Thompson) to address the root cause of ETQ's problems, namely, the incompetant management that costs a great deal and delivers nothing but losses. Unless ETQ are prepared to realise that sourcing from China is absolutely no substitute for building a really competant Top Management structure and then recruiting the dynamic people to staff it then my advice is to put your money on the Favourite in the first race at Newmarket - losing your money will be rather less protracted but more enjoyable (if losing money is ever enjoyable). Certainly any gain will be on a significant multiplier to anything ETQ might bring. Happy and prosperous New Year to you all

With everyone running for the door maybe this is worth a look at, even though it is high risk. Maybe the stake that the Tchenquiz brothers have acts as some form of insurance policy against a 'complete lights out'; so the main risk may be further dilution. The businesses ETQ plans to retain probably do have value and potential in the medium term. Interested in other's views on this. I am under no illusions that this is a high risk stock.

"I am under no illusions that this is a high risk stock".

make sure you remember that and let the others do the running for you.

LOLOLOL!!!!!!!
