Hmm, had another look at the balance sheet. Debt up again, and still at worrying levels. They're not generating any cash flow to reduce it after capex and product development. But they are still paying a dividend even though free cash flow is negative!Good result this year if you ask me - bloated inventory swell has been reversed and revenues steady while margins up.
So is this false breakout the start of a down trend or is there still hope for CDA in the short term?
Opinions please
CDA is an interesting way to play the gold price although it's a bit dirtier than buying a gold producer with product cycles thrown into the mix as well, at least IMHO. When gold is going up, sales of their metal detectors boom, and when it's going down the reverse happens. I've been in it since the start of the year and am happy to let the earnings momentum carry it for the time being. This is a take no prisoners sort of stock though, just look what happened to it in 2013 when the gold price crashed.

Just wondering what may have spooked this today, someone offloading ?
