Well said Fuelcellinvestor!
There are far too many so called investors that are either the below or have a combination of traits. I just use the filter so I don't have to read anything other than common sense, realistic views, and quality research. I won't waste my time with these types of people, life is too short.
Bitter and twisted after years of holding AFC and not seeing the promised sales
Living in the past, always looking at the history of AFC, unable to focus on the reality of where AFC is today and it's great future ahead after the recent huge cash injection, with II's clamouring for even more shares.
Manic depressives. Possibly due to isolating for months due to COVID restrictions. This could be worse if they already had the pre-existing conditions above.
People that sold out and are now kicking themselves because their money is now tied up at paper losses in other stocks.
Shorters that are now in the red as the stock climbs away from the placing price.
Trolls and idiots that crap all over the boards of small cap stocks in order to frustrate shareholders.
I fully agree with the sentiment of your post Desertwolf, but observe that the timeline of toxicity is more recent than AB so it do not see him as responsible for it.
Excellent post FCI. I am fully supportive of this raise and believe this is the start of a new era.
Cautious of further funding but not totally against it.
Great metaphor regarding the loaf.
Positivity will feed positivity and we know what happens then.
Thanls, Cheekyboy and Maytal.
Sometimes, I used to wonder if many people just enjoy self-flagellation and given what is happening to our country I now know that most do! The good news is that AFC now not only offers an opportunity to invest with less risk than before but it also has the potential to make a difference to the climate/economy etc.
Put those cat-o'-nine-tails away everyone, even just for a few weeks so that we can let the scars heal, please!
Fuelcellinvestor - Well said. Mayt….
Well said FCI. I feel more enthused now than I have ever been in the years I have been here.
10% ? Not a chance.
I continue to be intrigued by all the negativity and concern. Whilst I understand that many people have held these shares for years, through thick and thin, from 10p to 70p+ and back to 5p etc etc, at some point everyone needs to realise that the past is the past.
The reality is that AFC would have been extremely close to going under at various times in the past and even as recently as a couple of weeks ago many people, including me, were wondering whether they were going to make it through as they have essentially sold nothing, with a global crisis out there and with very little money in the bank as security. Just raising the last £1 million seemed to be an extremely damaging exercise and that only bought us 3 months at best which has already passed.
With this as the backdrop, the events of this week are hugely significant. Potential investors can no longer hold the company to ransom as the company does not need their money. The company can offer a warranty. Customers can be confident that the company will be around long enough to fulfil an order. The company can invest in production faciiities or build and rent fuel cell systems etc etc etc.
The only downside is the dilution and, as I titled this post, "Half a loaf is better than none". If, and it is an if, they use the full 33% next time then previous shareholders will be left with half the loaf. However, there is every chance that the loaf will be an awful lot bigger than it was ever going to be without this injection of funds and it is most certainly going to be bigger than no loaf!
For me, some investment, and therefore dilution, was inevitable and there was always going to be fun and games before this happened. This has now been achieved and the share price for such a large investment was far higher than it could have been. The company can now be a lot firmer if it needs more funds and, as things stand, there would need to be a very good reason for asking for more funds e.g. a strategic partnership or a clear revenue generating investment with identified goals.
Nothing in life is certain but this is the first Sunday since investing in AFC that I feel that there is something more than hope and hype undermining the company. Now they have cash and people prepared to invest large sums of money close to the current share price who will want a profit!
