recent downturn, page-13

Even in this scary time of possible nuclear disaster in Japan, clover looks cheap at this level and I suspect others agree given its support around 30cents.

One thing to mention in the context of dissapointing sales penetration into the Americas and perhaps a "slow" and conservative management are our healthy margins and whether this is due to sustained worldwide food price inflation.

Yeah revenues are down/delayed which is never pleasing, yet despite this and increased R&D costs, and FFI divestment costs, and a high dollar, our profit is up?(slightly) Someone at the tiller is doing an ok job...

Plus the new products are exciting. Lets not forget the "50% of revenue is from products developed in the last few years" tag. That's a simple, but very meaningful stat

But always the problem with illiquid and unsexy stocks like this is that the price on any given day isn't really the price - because if you want to buy or sell more than peanuts you'll be pushing the price up to 20% in the wrong direction. I expect Clover to be trading above 35cents in the coming weeks, a 17% gain, and yet in the last three months, a whole days worth of trading only surpassed $250k 4 times!
