What do you think?

Hello all,


I have just come across IVE and am in the process of beginning my research on them to see if it may be a good option to park a little of my hard earned. From what I have found so far (early days yet) it seems to be a well run company, good year on year numbers, good ROE and a reasonable dividend. I am concerned by the debt / equity spread which is pretty high, however.

Some years back I did well with a company in the same field, HPAL which was then bought out by Salmat. I invested in Salmat after that which has been a total disaster and destruction of shareholder value. Whilst I see the clear performance difference between IVE and Salmat, as they operate in the same area I am wary of entering this sector again. I would value the views and insights on IVE from any of you who care to share that have been holders of this company for some time and are familiar with management capability and other metrics of this business.


Thanks and good luck to all.
