I am not expecting any order news until I see a sustained (leak induced) increase in the share price. This is not just about Scotty being tight-lipped - there are too many people involved. We have seen how wild speculation on bulletin boards plays right into the market makers hands - all those who rushed in at 2.25 recently will know what I mean.
As I have said before, it really doesn't matter (when) unless you are going to sell on the good news (and if you were, there are other shares to invest in if you just want a spike). I first purchased this dog (MMD anyway) on 11 February 2000 and I intend to see it through. If the order is as good as we hope then the shareprice should jump, then be hammered by profit takers and people desperate to get out. Following that we should see a steady rise if the company gets its PR right and makes it clear that there is a programme of upgrades to follow.
I think we will see poor results (and let's not kid ourselves that the market will react favourably - like a number of posters have - 'we already know the results are bad etc') and the share price will probably dive a further 15-20%. If it does, I will buy one last time (until the next last time lol). If this does ever fall to 1p as goodfella suggests, it will be a brave or stupid holder who hangs in there. I reckon I must be stupid...
I always dread results day because in my experience, the share price nearly always goes down - even when the company meets expectations.
