	Let me know what you think of this looks interesting. IMHO: Apologies for the delayed response. I've been suffering from man flu which everyone knows is a fate worse than death. Why POGL? I started my research by studying the initial listing of POGL on AIM. As you are no doubt aware they listed in Jul 2007 and despite being fairly slated by many pundits the SP rose from 12p to circa 19p in the first week. The pundits were surprised because here we had an unknown Malaysian company trying to raise £2.6M on a UK market. The management team were unknown, their fundamentals were fairly sound but there was no evidence to support a rise, let alone the meteoric rise of 60% (I've read many posting from the private investors that were getting carried away at around this time and its the normal story with so many AIM investors. They let their emotions get the better of them and the amount of 'I'm in' postings at 14p, then 15p and then 16p etc are quite 'scary' and many of them were predicting the SP to reach 25-30p in the short term.) The listing was geared to raise £2.6m at a prospective price earnings ratio of approximately 12 times their 2007 estimates. This would have given them a market cap of circa £21.5m. At an SP of 19p this rose to approximately £32m which was 15 times greater than POGL's 2008 projections. There was absolutely no way POGL were going to secure sufficient new business / contracts by 2008 to justify and / or maintain this inflated market cap. We all know what happened to the markets in 2008. POGL started the year on bit of a high, the SP had returned to a 'realistic' level and they reported very good results to Dec 2007 that exceeded initial expectations (they had trebled their revenue to £140 million). In any other year this would have had a very positive impact on the SP but 2008 was not like any other year. During 2008 they struggled to secure new contracts, existing contracts were de-scaled or shelved due to financial constraints and the little gem that was POGL was unceremoniously dumped on the pile of Oil & Gas Equipment Services' granite chips. So why am I throwing my hard earned cash at POGL? They had the worse possible start to their AIM listing. The MM's and over excited investors artificially raised, lowered and once again raised the SP to a level that POGL management were never going to be able to justify via securing new business/contracts. During the recession they have managed to stay afloat and have been recognised as one of Forbes' 200 best Asian companies with under 1 Billion revenue. The DOW Jones Oil Equipment & Services Index Fund is currently up 20+% since July 09. The POGL management and sales team have managed to secure £2.18M new business to April this year. And so-on 1.5p per share for this Pacific Rim 'granite chip' is supposedly risky, but it's a risk that I'm willing to take and I'm putting my money where my mouth is. DYOR please, check out the details of the initial listing (they're very informative) and check out their latest progress and fundamentals. I have, and I believe this company is a 'little gem' sitting in a pile of 'granite chips'. Yours SP. More \| View thread (2) \| Respond \| Login to Vote up \| Login to Vote down
