Pacific Rim: Endlich wieder gute News. Einstieg in B2C. Geht's aufwärts ? mvT.

Mit Ozzie-Shopper und Plexus Int. (WKN 929017) will PCR nun wieder Dampf machen. Das wurde auch Zeit. Der PCR-Kurs hat von 1,07 in 01.00 auf jetzt 0,38 nachgegeben.
Gute News wurden auch zur Tochter Money-Planners veröffentlicht:
Gewinn +38%, Umsatz +204%. Da PCR eigentlich zur Old-Economy (Versicherungen, Fonds u.ä.) gehört und zusätzlich New-Economy mit interessanten Beteiligungen betreibt (Plexus, Ecat, Grange usw.), geht es bald wohl wieder so langsam aufwärts.
Beachtenswert ist auch, dass der CEO Garry Crole seine Aktien innerhalb der letzten 2 Monate auf mittlerweile 1,8 Mio = 6% aufgestockt hat.

PRESS RELEASE

Australian consumers are clearly moving towards the internet with
sales in online business increasing. Pacific Rim Investment
Corporation Ltd is one company that realises e-commerce is the
direction all retail outlets should be heading towards.

Not concerned by the recent failings of some online businesses,
Pacific Rim has focused on consumer fears and created an e shopper
friendly website ozzieshopper.com.au.

Just as the mobile phone has become a human necessity, so to has a
personal computer. More and more consumers are purchasing computers
and connecting to the internet, where they purchase products because
it is convenient. Garry Crole, Managing Director of Pacific Rim
believes e commerce is where all retailers should be moving to
increase their bottom line and provide better customer service.

Ozzieshopper.com.au is seeking to fill the void between retailers and
on line shoppers, by providing a platform to enable the two to meet,
creating a twofold benefit for both retailer's future growth and
customer satisfaction and convenience.

Ozzieshopper.com.au is looking to provide three areas of sales,
firstly on the internet for the new age consumer, secondly through a
1800 toll free number, so consumers can compare prices while out
shopping at a retail store and thirdly by giving members reasons to
shop through member specials both online and offline.

Ozzie Shopper currently sources products from over 300 different
retailers with fellow listed company Plexus International Ltd and has
a product range of over 150,000 brand name goods. Consumers and
members can be confident that our products are quality products when
they see a name they can trust. Members receive the same warranties
and guarantees as they would if they were purchasing from a retail
store.

It is expected that Ozzie Shopper will have member benefits at
hotels, travel agencies restaurants, wine cellars and a significant
number of off line retailers within the next six months.
