Vested at $0.34. The rising price is certainly tempting me to sell but I will wait for 3Q result to be out before making a decision. Director Yeo Jiew Yew has been accumulating between Sep 2013-Jan 2014 which is positive.

I believe it will trend even higher closer to 4Q result just like Valuetronics which I regret selling a little bit too early. Let's wait and see.

On share price alone - and without counting the $0.02/share dividend paid on 15Nov13 - Lantrovision has out-performed the STI by a whopping over 60% in the last 12 months (since May13)…..

I couldn't resist and liquidated my position in Lantrovision at a good profit today. Thank you Lantrovision =). Good luck to fellow buddies who remain vested. I think the 3Q results should be good. If better than 2Q, I think there is more upside.

If I have the chance to re-enter at a price lower than my selling price, I may consider it again. In the meantime, I'm on to find my next gem...

Does WB need to sell Berkshire's Coke holding to tell himself or other Berkshire shareholders - or for that matter, the whole world - that he and they are rich?

Another steady and good quarter (Q3)…..

Lantrovision's well-established operation continues to churn out solid FCF. In fact, the company and group have accumulated so mush cash in the past few years that by also taking a portion of the fully self-fianaced trade receivables balance of $28.77m as near cash, as at 31Mar14 Lantrovision Group had a total cash and near-cash balance of some $100.0m, equivalent to some $0.37/share (based on the latest 269.742m outstanding issued shares). Indeed, there is a mini-bank within Lantrovision!

Slow but steadily making money

For me the high net cash and respectable 4.2% yield at current price still makes it slightly undervalued.

Should appreciate more steadily this year as more people take notice of this company and as the earnings improve.

I agree,
main concern is that the company does not talk to investors and they use asiasons capital before for their corporate exercise

After the Q3 result (first released on 12May after market closed) the share price still going up - even on a rainy, moody Friday, after a rather sharp decline in NY overnight!. Mr Market appears to be loving Lantrovision more by the day, and has little reservation for the record share price.
