They posted a very good set of results there. Let's hope the company is bigger than the CEO (which I think it is). Very nice gap to be filled.

As usual markets always overreact, I believe occasions like this present buying opportunities. The results show the business is not stuffed, furthermore if the suspension is for the the good of the company the share should move in the opposite direction. Finding the temptation to buy very difficult to resist.

I already bought this morning. I suspect that gap was created by retail investors if I look at the amount of trades. If it was institutional investors, that would've been a different story.

Don't want to dampen enthusiasm, but shouldn't these results be of concern despite the headlines? Maybe more to drop then just CEO hassles.

The CEO is the same chappie who started the business .. An importantly their major Indian supplier agreement is indformal .. In other words a hand shake, by self same CEO .. Me, I would want the full story first, but tis moot as it not on my shopping list ..

Makes a huge difference in who creates your gaps. If the gap was created by retail investors it's lower risk than a gap created by institutional investors that doesn't get tied up in day to day emotional stuff. Doesn't matter who closes it, as long as I'm in for the ride. Already looking better than opening this morning.

I don't own everything on my watchlists Simon. Wish I did, but it's extensive. The ten bagger watchlist is just that - a watchlist. Some underperformers in there as well.
