RAK Rakon

[Cadmium]

I bought a few of these at $1.25 today, on the gamble that they will rally a bit next week and then I'll be out again.

I’m just trying to amuse myself with small trades until some discernable positive trends emerge in the market. I could be waiting some time…

Anyone notice the gap down and reasonable decline yesterday, the day before the results were announced? Interesting...

[craic]

Wallmart result overnight was interesting . Still very strong demand in the stores for GPS related products, dont know anything about Rakon but cant do them any harm

Saw somewher that Walmart are up because the US shoppers have gone down market as the economy falters. Good new for the Warehouse?

I sensed vultures circling above and got out today.

I now have a -10c per share reminder not to be an idiot. :o

Guess this makes the Bulkowski encyclopedia right again. "A dead cat bounce is often followed by another."

RAK also reminds me abit of PVO. Anyone have any research on RAK?

dr who,
this year I went to a presentation on RAK at a Hamilton Hinden Green Seminar and RAK is an awesome story from its beginnings... A true New Zealand business started from the home garage.... The presentation was good, and there is huge potential but the speaker went so far over time, that there was no time for questions...
I have been weary ever since...
Rakon does have huge potential... The reason why they have not shown good results is because they are technology focused, and pump all the profits back into staying one step ahead of competitors ... They are ahead of the pack with its quartz crystals business... they have a big chunk of the industry and their product goes into all electronic devices...
so they have a bright future it would seem...
One thing for sure is, I dont understand this business... And I dont invest in anything I dont understand (anymore)... hehehhe...
I got into trouble in the resource sector... hehehehe...
Those were fun times eah....
good luck Rakon... Good Luck investors... make sure you understand this business before you invest...
sp could come down alot more it would seem...

Problem with these hi tech companies is that even if they produce a great product within a year someone is making something faster and smaller.

Take the following statement as an example

WHERE NEXT?

Mr. Robinson said he was excited at the potential for growth in new emerging
technologies, such as femtocells, which offered great opportunities for Rakon

Firstly how many shareholders know what a femtocell is?
Secondly just because they exist dosent mean it will be Rakon that makes the best ones
Thirdly they will cost a fortune in R and R
and lastly potential is all very well but it dosent pay the bills

Ratkin-Problem with these hi tech companies is that even if they produce a great product within a year someone is making something faster and smaller

.

That is not entirely true in this situation ratkin...
Rakon (not ratkin), acts as the dominant firm.. the shot caller...
They are ahead of the competition... the bad thing about this is--> all the competitiors need to do is buy an electronic devise with the upgraded technology in it, and learn the secret...
So the competitiors are about one year behind Rakon...
But then again, I dont understand the business model...
I dont understand if or how Rakon will remain dominant...
so I wont invest...
