Re: TPI - Transpacific Industries
SP has taken a hit the last couple of weeks. High 3's and now $2.50. I got greedy on this one - nice profit now gone.
I put the slump in share price down to 3 things:
These things on the back of talk of capital raising, falling demand for recycled material, drop in oil prices and likely fall in truck sales just makes it worse.
With all this I still hold (nervously). All these rate cuts should be offsetting some of the pain and hopefully past acquisition are starting to show some rewards.
Nice to see JPMorgan buying in.
A nervous wait to 25th Feb Half Yr.

Any particular reason why the TPI SP should be down 9% today?
My own guess is the market getting unnerved by capital raisings at big discounts, eg today's SUN announcement, and fears that TPI may need to do something similar.
I have it on my watchlist but waiting to see developments.

I put the slump in share price down to 3 things:
- No news from the company recently - market treating no news as bad news
- Market still hates debt - even more so for the reasons you mention above
- TPI appears to attract short selling. Seems to average around 35-40% of shares traded each day and with relatively low volumes of shares traded can generated some panic selling.
