I am lost as well bought in August and expected some drop due to profit taking but not as much as this. Bought Baggeridge Brick recently as well can't understand how they increased profits by almost 100% upped their dividend and the share price is falling. I'm giving up on this game after Christmas.

Greeting! to all eckoh holders.
Commiserations to all of us who didn't book the profit on day of results.
Yes it's been painful watching it melt away before my very eyes over the last few days.
I'm keeping hold of my stake.
Let's hope all the short term holders have now been flushed out.
Good luck to all.
Regards.

If it is the mms shaking out the nervous recks then surely we would see some big trades going through made by the mms.
The price is up slightly but for how long I am not sure. Don't get me wrong, I have faith in this company, they have the best products in this sector.
I am still a holder but not sure whether the price has bottom yet?

They are definitely a hold for long term. I do personally think that this stock will do very well in 04.
Have taken the advantage of price drop to top up some more.
Have a good Xmas and New Year all.

Legins have not heard from you for a long time. What is your view on this stock now? Is it still worth holding onto?

Hi ticker,
Sorry for not posting for a while on this thread as I've been very busy with construction & building work starting up.
My view of this stock is that this remains a good solid company that will continue with growth over middle to long term and is a company that will follow perhaps slightly behind the growth expected throughout 2004 in Telecom, TMT, and Technology sectors.
However, I also speculate that a significant deal between ECK, and Peter Dubens companies Pipex Communications PXC and ukbetting UKB could be forming due to this RNS news on 29Dec. The following extract is what has interested me and sparked this train of thought:-
Eckoh Technologies plc ('Eckoh') today announces that it has agreed to sell its
40% equity investment in Rivals Digital Media Limited ('Rivals') as part of a
sale of the entire share capital of Rivals to ukbetting plc. Eckoh will receive
consideration totaling 700,000, payable half in cash and half in ukbetting plc
shares.
Eckoh will have approx. 700k shares at around 50p each in ukbetting plc. ECK's technology in voice recognition and artificial intellegent call services for betting account customers of ukbetting plc has enourmous potential for both companies in forming a deal.
What do you think? I wonder if ukbetting would accept a bet on this happening 2:1 favorite!

28 January 2004
Eckoh Technologies appointed as interactive telephony partner for ITV
Eckoh Technologies plc ('Eckoh'), one of Europe's largest speech application
service providers, today announced it has been appointed by the UK's biggest
commercial television network ITV (formerly Granada and Carlton), to provide
interactive telephony services to the channel.
The contract, which commences on March 1st 2004, was won after a competitive
pitch process, and is anticipated to generate considerable revenues for both
organisations as the interactive telephony formats for broadcast programmes
continue to grow and develop. The agreement covers existing shows which use
telephony such as This Morning, CITV, Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway,
Trisha and The Vault, as well as new formats that are yet to be broadcast.
Today's announcement will allow ITV to gain access to Eckoh's sophisticated call
processing platform which with over 7,000 ports is the largest of its kind in
the UK. The platform supports the traditional telephony broadcast services such
as votes, competitions, polls and audience data capture, but also provides new
technologies such as speech recognition which gives ITV the opportunity to
enhance new programming concepts still in development.
Nik Philpot, Chief Operating Officer for Eckoh Technologies, says:
'This deal further consolidates our position as one of the largest providers of
managed interactive telephone services in the UK and having worked well with
Granada in the past we are very much looking forward to a similarly productive
relationship with ITV. We have a shared desire to grow telephony revenues by
developing innovative, compelling formats and we are delighted to be assisting
ITV harness the huge potential of interactive television.'
Ian McCulloch, Managing Director of Operations for ITV Broadcasting, commented:
'We have appointed Eckoh as our partner in this area after a rigorous process
and I believe they are best placed to help us take the telephony services
business forward. I am confident that they bring us the necessary technical
capability and expertise which is essential to maximising the potential
opportunity and we are very excited about what we can do together'

In January 2003, Eckoh signed a landmark deal to create an exclusive speech
alliance with BT to provide hosted speech recognition solutions to their
corporate client base over the next 2 years. This contract was then subsequently
extended until December 2006. A two-year contract with TD Waterhouse for a
speech recognition share check service was announced by BT and Eckoh in October
2003.
In June 2003 Eckoh enlarged its call processing infrastructure to 7,000 lines
(capable of handling 500,000 calls an hour) by installing another platform into
a BT hosting facility. This created the largest speech enabled call processing
platform in Europe.

including Virgin Mobile, Centrica, William Hill, Wyevale Garden Centres and the
RNIB.
Eckoh also operates the following businesses:

Lots of buying into this one. It is the considerable revenues that will commence in Mar04 that will really see the share price moving. ECK will no doubt be handling calls for ITV programs like "Pop Idol", "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here" amoungst many others.
Definitely a very strong BUY. Added more to my holding.
