**************

 

I'm in at $0.32. I actually had this one on the radar at $0.28 but was too slow to act...plus my experience with purchasing 'turn arounds' is limited so I guess I've been quite cautious with this one.

 

I've got a whole heap of rationale behind the call that I'll post behind the decision....but etrade has decided to deny me of my right to company information temporarily!!...so the detail will have to wait.

 

ATG aren't brilliant, but even in the shocking year they just had they still produced something like $1mil of operating cashflow after subtracting cap spend. (I think this was something like $5mil before)

 

Halfyearly will be interesting to see if the much talked about recovery has materialised, but I think this company is worth a buy at $20m.

 

That's all I've got for now.

A bit of a joke, this one.

 

Name changes are about the only news but they don't seem to have any effect on the SP.

 

 

Anyone else holding a few of these bits of paper?
