Try not to be emotional. Stay focused on the big pictures. If the fundamentals do not change, then at some point the stock price would reflect the intrinsic value of your investments. This message is not just on Aixtron but all companies.
Do not fault the IR for not releasing news. What if there are no news to release about? Most of Aixtron's customers probably do not want Aixtron to disclose what they are doing for obviously competitive reasons. They buy the equipment and would prefer no propaganda. For example, a month ago the Korean press said Samsung has specifically signed NDA (Non-Disclosure-Agreement) with its project C suppliers.
Aixtron is such a small company so the volatility is to be expected. Its quarterly sales hardly pass 70m euros. Looking at the Quarterly equipment sales chart chart I provided a few weeks back and you get the picture. However, keep in mind that the fundamental technology trends of the world depend on Aixtron's technologies.
If you do not think that is the case, why not just declare that you were wrong and sell and have a peace of mind? Com planing does not make any difference to yourself and others. We have a much easier jobs of just by and sell anytime we want. The company does not do that. They execute the technology road maps 5 year down the road and try to make it successful. I know I cannot do that and I am happy there are very capable people who know how and have the hearts to do that.
I have warned before, if there is a recession coming then all bets are off. Projects would be delayed and capital spending gets cut. Be prepared that may have a big impact on Aixtron. I would add more if that were to happen. If you are not prepared for a downturn, I suggest you should. |
