FormerXBC Inc > Why should you?

Post by ferret_ca on Jan 28, 2022 3:54pm

Why should you?

one thing I always look for when looking to buy a beaten up stock, especially a small cap, is insiders diving in  or at least buying some shares with their own loot in the OPEN market. you saw a ton of it in the energy sector when it was beaten up and still some even to this day. not so with xbc so why should you?

I see some insiders starting to buy in grn  cmc and others.  I just don't understand why you would add to xbc when you don't see any at all down at these prices, there has to be some reason you don't know about, yet, for them not to buy. I was going to start buying some in the 1.60's as it looks like some support there probably, lol. but I'm not touching it unless I see insiders adding. I know kurt holds a decent amount  and bought some a few q's ago, but only because he said he would, lol. 

the other thing I cannot comprehend on here is how people can think xbc has a great mgmt team, everything I've seen so far leads me to the opposite until they prove otherwise, which they have not yet, and saying what they will do IS NOT DOING IT!!! 

cheers ferret

Top marks !!!! On yr analysis of the situation. Thank you
Comment by Gann999 on Jan 28, 2022 4:09pm
I mean there was a small buy at 3.05 and rights to buy around 2.60 to several board members. An insider buy is meaningless to me the only thing that is going to stop this death spiral is a follow-up order from chevron even bigger than the first and proof from q4 that they are either very close to profitability or already profitable. So done defending this company when for 12 months it has done ...more

The lack of communication and insider buying is concerning 100%. 
Comment by tony08 on Jan 28, 2022 4:31pm
Let say they are aware of great news coming soon.....(Good contract or good numbers for Q4) Do insiders have the right to buy ?? Correct me if i'm wrong but i think they can't....
Comment by Exergy on Jan 28, 2022 4:43pm
What about the last 8 reports on SEDI showing insiders buying on Thursday last week a total of $105K at $2.00/share?
Comment by ferret_ca on Jan 28, 2022 6:30pm
that is an outright lie, there is nothing of the sedi for january
Comment by filoux004 on Jan 28, 2022 6:39pm
Ferret is on Roll!!!!
Comment by Exergy on Jan 28, 2022 6:40pm
I don't understand why you would claim "an outright lie" for something everybody can easily check on SEDI
Comment by ferret_ca on Jan 28, 2022 6:47pm
II just checked and rechecked sedi and it shows no insider buying for xbc in the insider buying section under all equitys and all drivatives etc  0  nada zilch, you post it and I'll believe you , it is also not on canadian insider,  those were grant of rights at $2 on jan 24 AND NOT INSIDER BUYS, mgmt has not put out 1 friggin buy, not 1 measley share, get your facts right ...more  
Comment by ferret_ca on Jan 28, 2022 7:15pm
Exergy, my appologies for calling you a liar, you are simply misinformed as to the difference between the granting of rights and insider buying.  granting of rights costs mgmt 0 nada zilch, it just gives them the right to buy shares at $2 by some future date. if the price is lowere they don't have to exercise the rights, it's simply a chcken sh  it way of guaranteeing they don ...more

Ferret_ca, apologies accepted and thanks for the explanation. I understand what a grant of right means but didn't pay attention. Probably unconsciously I wanted to see acquisition of shares instead :) Cheers

Ferret say: " until they prove otherwise, which they have not yet, and saying what they will do IS NOT DOING IT!!! " Was'nt Q3 much better than Q1 and Q2?? Did'nt they make great acquisitions in the last year??
Comment by Ciao on Jan 28, 2022 4:42pm
During Q3 they made 2 service center acquisitions and secured components for 30 BGX units.  They did not annouce those in news releases though many would believe it was newsworthy. We were made aware of those happenings during the Q3 call. Orders for BGX units will be added to the backlog unless they are large MSA type. No need to be desperate to announce non material news.  GRN ...more

they are not blacked out,   they will be for a bit around the quarterly release. twist it all you want , lol, too many on here just don't pay any attention to all the things wrong with xbc and just listen to the cheerleaders. Kurt sold 2m shares in june 2020 at 3.60 before the massive green bubble from oct 2020 to approx march 2021  many others were selling some then and I' ...more

ferret. aka Weasel seems like you are the pot calling the kettle black. You tell us to buy MRS which you jave posted about since before last April and are still posting on that board. Well that share price has gone from over a dollar to below 20 cents since then. Sure you can tell us how smart you are but at least cover your tracks because your not fooling me. Call my sly as a FOX
Comment by ferret_ca on Jan 28, 2022 8:44pm
savy    as far as mrs I had bought from apr 5-8 @ .69 average, I sold all those may 6 @ .55-.56 for a loss, I bought again may 14 @ .455 and sold those june 1 @ .61  so broke about even on all those  and stayed out because I lost confidence in it as it was a bit of a covid trade at the time. since then I've followed it, a new ceo came in and has str8ened things out (which ...more  
Comment by LongoGlueStick on Jan 28, 2022 9:14pm
I think I agree that Xebec needs a new CEO. Kurt has built this company, but I think at this point, Xebec needs a real, professional CEO. I'd love to hear what people think about this idea.
Comment by tony08 on Jan 28, 2022 9:54pm
I suggest you stop looking at the share price and instead go on the Xebec web site and read all the financials news and acquisitions they made in the last year or two.....Than come back and explain why you want to change the CEO
Comment by ferret_ca on Jan 28, 2022 10:34pm
tony  maybe you should take a longer look at all the misteps along the way, they have not proven they can execute and it sure looks to me like they have more on their plate than they can handle, yes they have done a lot but maybe they've done too much at once, this is one reason I like grn much better (plus better mgmt imho) , I have a small position in grn and at least I can see exactly ...more

those aquisitions are probably good but really haven't proven out yet, zbc is a very small co. and spread all over the planet now, expenses will be quite high and growing along with supply chain issues,  past experience is really all we have and we do know that they lost money on projects they thought or told the market they were making money on. there will be a ton of competition in this ...more

Comment by tamaracktop on Jan 28, 2022 4:38pm
So sick of your sh**. You were going to buy some in the $1.60's because there's support there? WTF are you talking about? That's new lows. There is absolutely no technical support there. I used to wonder how your posts are always "liked" within a minute of you posting them, so I looked at your profile. How is it possible you have five "followers"?  Zou has ...more

that's quite the temper you have o' TT..... might explain your hair loss, and comparing/analyzing likes and followers is dribble.... might be time to take a break from the computer and focus on reality

tt  "the titanic"  is nothing more than a 1st class pofs, a failed broker , despicable human imho. I'd hate to see how much he lost for his former clients let alone his followers on here.one of the #1 rules in investing, never fall in love with a stock. I've had that deranged idiot on iggy for well over a year and that is where he will stay, I won't mention that ...more  
Comment by tamaracktop on Jan 28, 2022 7:23pm
That seems just a bit hypocritical to me. Oh look! 5 followers, 5 likes on each of your last 3 posts. What a coincidence! The only way you can like your own post is if you have aliases. I called you out.  Try not to have a meltdown.
Comment by therealmccoy on Jan 29, 2022 2:46am
you're the one having a meltdown there TT / tamaracktop.... TT "the Titanic" is having a temper tantrum (TT again).... you seem obsessed/infatuated with the ferret's "likes" and "followers"..... get a life TT.... your "reputation" is sinking just like the Titanic!!!!! step outside into the real world TT, it's called reality!!!!!!

Same McCoy, same tone, always blaming everyone. McCoy, you are quite famous on Pyrogenesis for being the village idiot. An arrogant one at that.and it looks like you don't know what you are talking about.
