It will be a slow slide since the sellers have no incentive to sell it at lower prices & buyers have no reason to buy it at 10% lower than the VWAP.

Until it goes to sub-10, I do not see any reason to look at it. I doubt the profits will rise sufficiently in 2012 (over 2011) to merit the current price.
On 13 Sep 2012, a profit warning. Enjoy.



Surely we expect results not profit warnings. The company sells books for Christ's sake. How can accounts take so long????

Net profits soared 600% plus last year. Interesting sales pitch...

Is this feat achievable in going forward? Was it a fluke?

I'd keep off until the H1 2012 results are out to assess the incredible profit rally...


I must say I'm shocked that thing counter is still up there. I was expecting a collapse after the IPO, but I guess the little share float is keeping the price a float. However as @VVS says, the ride will be a slow puncture, slow motion bidless fall.

So LKL traded 200 shares at 16.50 & that to me are trades intended to 'set' a price. Stay far away from this counter until it drops to sub-10 levels. Even at 10, I exercise caution. Look at PER, BV, etc before going in.

Think Neveready, Sameer/Firestone, etc!

600% profit rally turned into a spectacular loss nosedive a fiscal year later.

One centum owns this stock. The same one centum that refused to give a profit warning...

Those in and for longhorn have really been punked!

The 5 year financial statements presented in the IM showed no loss at any one time and displayed dividends in all years. Even H1 2011/12 results in the IM were in profit zone. But i remember we read IM in between the lines and raised red flags.

Those who gave a deaf ear may now drown in the loss and no dividend year!

Centum has a 35% stake in the company.
This points to reduced earnings for Centum come half year.

So they give a profit warning, and 1 week later they post losses.

Beats me this logic of profit warnings, thought all companies do monthly and YTD book-keeping.
