Why HELIUM ?
Helium is the only element on the planet that is a completely nonrenewable resource.
On Earth, helium is generated deep underground through the natural radioactive decay of elements such as uranium and thorium. "It takes many, many millennia to make the helium that's here on the Earth," says Sophia Hayes, a chemist at Washington University in St. Louis. The helium seeps up through the Earth's crust and gets trapped in pockets of natural gas, where it can be extracted.
Like hydrogen, its immediate predecessor on the periodic table, helium is lightweight. But unlike hydrogen, it doesn't readily combine with other elements. So, once helium reaches the surface, it can easily escape the Earth's gravitational pull.
https://www.npr.org/2019/11/01/775554343/the-world-is-constantly-running-out-of-helium-heres-why-it-matters#:~:text=On%20Earth%2C%20helium%20is%20generated,Louis.
Other resources, such as oil and gas, may turn into pollution or be difficult to recycle. But only helium physically disappears from the planet. "It's the one element out of the entire periodic table that escapes the Earth and goes out into outer space," Hayes says.
America once thought helium would turn the tide of war.
During World War I, aviation was still in its infancy, and dirigibles were considered cutting-edge weapons of war. German zeppelins were the strategic weapons of their time, drifting over civilian targets and dropping bombs from their gondolas.
But zeppelins had a critical vulnerability: They were filled with highly flammable hydrogen. After a few zeppelin raids over London, British troops developed incendiary bullets that would "light up the hydrogen in the dirigibles," says David Aubin, a professor for the history of science at Sorbonne Université in Paris.

Dickie Icon shares today eh )
I jave a dubdtantial holding in HE1 as i am hookrd on their strategy going forwards. 2nd biggest holding next to MKAngo, ICON and UFO.
All up on my initial buys but eXpecting HE1 to overtake them all...
Lucky for me
trustpilot has lots of broker reviews, especially for last November when the ftse went up, found out the issue I had with my service has been an issue a number of times before, not being resolved I guess its a limitation of the trading platform and the number of customers it has to support.. Normally it is fine, just dread a busy selling day..
Hi Phantom25,
Could you please tell me which DMA platform you are with. Thanks
Strongly suspect most brokers aimed at the retail market have a few preferred MMs that they only deal with, in exchange for kick backs or bonuses. So when you try to place a trade you are not receiving quotes from all 8 possible. If the preferred MMs do not have stock you get NT. I have a DMA platform where I see quotes from all MMs quoting and can choose who to trade with
I've only recently transferred to HL after my previous IFA moved me to Aegon (wow, are they crap or what).
Can't face the thought of the transfer process again so (for the time being), I'll stick the HL, even though they appear to have issues too.
Thanks for the comments all :)
Halifax seem to be unable to cope with positive changes in the market, last Novembers realigning PFs and ftse +5%, just navigating the account as enough for repeated timeouts
iWeb was offering 18.33/18.59 just now
...and their retail customer charges are higher than the iWeb platform too (Halifax)
seagull all too familiar. It’s the same buying or selling funds with them. If you buy and the orice gies up the order never seems to filled before the rise. If you sell and the price goes down the sale always goes through before the price goes back up. Funny how that always works in their favour isn't it. Also HL bid is always lower than most others while the ask always seems to be a little higher. Their service is also deteriorating with no recent trades data - starting to think they are struggling somehow.
@Noob67
Had the same problem a lot today on HL with HE1. When it drops, no quote is available. Price bounces and suddenly I get quotes.
I think the sells are related to a RNS of another AIM share, not O/G or mining
There is some serious shaking going on IMO. Crazy spreads and NT to buy or sell and managing what goes through the book.
I know everyone has their reasons etc but selling before drill commencement is a bit silly especially given the results they have had from the tests.
Just be patient and wait til mid/ end of june then you're laughing
