Another write-off day

You can tell from the opening this will likely be another frustrating day for many. Opening up 1 cent on 3,000 shares is a pretty good indication of hibernation .

It may seem counterintuitive, but until Xebec actually puts some of its cash hoard to work, or at least indicates the reason for the recent issue, Xebec has too much cash.
