Es ist auffällig, daß, sobald der Wert über die 70 Cent klettert, sofort Verkäufe eingeschoben werden. All die großen Verkaufsstückzahlen weiter oben sind von den gleichen Leuten eingestellt - Psychologie ist eben alles. Sobald denen das Kursspiel entgleitet, verschwinden die nämlich! Um das zu beobachten, braucht man viel Zeit und die hab ich!

Langfristig hat der Wert m.E. schon ne Zukunft, aber die alten Kurse werden wir hier natürlich nicht wieder sehen. Das Management selbst schätzte den Laden vor 2 Jahren (und das war das Verlustjahr) mit 350 Mio.€ ein - ich such das mal raus.

Reissen die das Steuer rum, so sind langfristig Kurse um 5-7 € drin. Dazu muß natürlich erstmal nen vernünftiges KGV her. Und das dauert etwas...

Die Anleger sitzen in Lauerstellung!

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 38.233.824 von Zockerpetry am 22.10.09 17:30:10sorry, für 0,066 Cent würde ich sofort nachkaufen...

es sind 0,66 Cent

Tief dieses Jahr 0,40 Cent!

Lindemann als CEO Vertrag von Serge van der Hooft ab 01.04.09 NICHT VERLÄNGERT
alle strategischen Positionen im Unternehmen hat SdvH mit eigenen Leuten besetzt wie im Zeitungsbericht auch vermutet

Antwort auf Beitrag Nr.: 38.233.852 von Zockerpetry am 22.10.09 17:32:23SdvH mit knapp 28 % mit seiner Consipio Großaktionär und neuer CEO seit 01.04.09

Global Vastgoed neuer Aktionär mit fast 9 % zum 31.03.2009

Verbindung zwischen beiden unklar

Ich halte die beiden für eine Allianz!

Kurs könnte zwecks billigen Einsammelns manipuliert werden

Seit SdvH am Ruder ist, ist die Info-Politik des Unternehmens m.E. lausig

KEIN SCHLAFENDEN HUNDE WECKEN!!!

Der alte Großaktionär Rotermund hat sich weitestgehend zurückgezogen und hält noch knapp 7%.

Was spricht für eine Wende nach dem Einbruch 2007 und dessen Folgen?

erfolgreiche Kapitalerhöhung und Schuldenabbau
Restrukturierungsprogramm erfolgreich durch Lindemann eingeleitet
Nach Weggang von Lindemann nun Ruhe im Management
2008 wieder schwarze Zahlen
2009 schwarze Zahlen unter Krisenbedinungen...

KGV 2008 knapp 19 bei etwa 3 Mio € EBIT zzgl. 4 Mio € Versicherungssumme

Soll dieses jahr so wiederholt werden, nachdem Gewinnaussichten 2009 halbiert wurden
