Dafora shares appreciatedby over 15% despite the company posting a decline in profit in2009.

"The significant increases recorded by Dafora and Condmagshares, especially after results were published, have a speculativecomponent. Whereas last year speculators' favourites were Azomuresand Amonil, these two companies seem to be beginning-of-the-yearfavourites. Speculators also waited for financial support toarrive, and it did in the case of Condmag, which reported adoubling of its profit.
