0.20 again!

Frankly, I never thought we would go back to that mark!
Somebody want to test our resistance.

[GijsWouter]

We still haven't been able to shake the absolutely idiotic sellers it appears. That and the fact that all buyers seem to have agreed to stop buying simultaneously pulls us down for the moment. Beautiful moment for Haywood to step in.

[frs1960]

All right, with still a 10-15% discount on the cash value. Personally I don't understand one thing, if I has 1 mio right now, I would spend all my cash on EUO. Am i the only one? I would even borrow some money for that if I could. Am I the only one? Or I missed something, perhaps.

[saskcarguy]

I understand your thought process frs1960.  I am still buying at these levels and hope it pays off.

[Marketwatch22]

frs1960 - Agreed I'm putting in everything I can and accumulating until we see a substantial move up from these levels. Based on the stock's movement since last May steadily accumulating has paid off.

I agree with you, I don't think there is any lower risk opportunity out there now like buying EUO here below the cash and the DCF of the SICPA earn outs. I think it languishes because people fail to see the upside, I have had a few friends and rational value investors dismiss the upside potential here based on past performance of GFI and lack of clarity on: 1.) the potential for the GFI earn

On the EU tender and competition in general, I always understood that GFI had a unique and very  important advantage with their product accreditations.  ISO is the king of these in my mind and made it possible to introduce GFI readings as eveidence in court, as just one example.   I couldn't see any of this featured in any of the new GFI-SICPA  promo material, so I began

On-site detection of illicit and adulterated fuels: Detection and authentication is conducted through fixed or mobile testing units; The testing equipment is heavy duty, however small enough to be placed in and operated from any vehicle tracked by GPS; Testing provides qualitative and quantitative results within a few minutes, indicating if and by how much the fuel has been

No other product offering that I know of has this type of accreditation.  Has any poster here found anything to dispute this? It seems almost like a no brainer decision for the EU to go with us, but I guess there is competition out there which must have some kind of advantage?  Price perhaps?  I guess we don't have any data to measure on that issue.  With SICPA being

I'm not a specialist in this area. Do you know other competitor's names apart SGS?

[thedon]

The one I know of is Authentix

[frs1960]

Isn't Authentix commercialised by SGS?

[Spiegel62]

That's right, the same Authentix whose horse and buggy dye makers dont work well and get easily removed as opposed to GFI's....

[frs1960]

So, it should be pretty good for GFI-SICPA in the EU tender. Keep it long and ignore the selling siren song.

The current Euromarker is yellow dye, but some EU countries have invested in better country markers, like the UK has contracted with Dow for a better marker: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-marker-to-tackle-fuel-fraud https://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/hcotegmanual/hcoteg121520.htm https://www.dow.com/en-us/markets-and-solutions/industrial/accutrace

[kidl2]

The fact that the U.K. and Ireland have opted for the Dow marker pretty well guarantees that it will be rejected by the rest of the EU. France will make sure of it. They'd rather lose Billions than adopt an American / British system. LOL

[thedon]

Someone may know already if GFI put in a bid on the UK program? DOW is a $57B m/cap company, while GFI was a division of a $10M one back then!  There may have been a minimum size requirement to even be in the running?
