You're welcome slipanchor. Best of luck.
tomeman, Can't thank you enough for pointing in the direction of the Hydrogen Podcast Page.
I obviously still have a long way to go but I am beginning to get the picture and appreciate your time and help.
slipanchor, there's an "Everything About Hydrogen" podcast that I can highly recommend. It's been running about a year with episodes approx every two weeks so quite easy to catch up right from the beginning. They've got great interviews from some of my favourite companies - Ballard, ITM, Nel. Plenty of interesting ones from companies I'd never heard of too.

toneman, thanks for the list of Hydrogen Companies and your thoughts on the industry
My main holdings are in oil companies but have been thinking about diversifying into clean energy for some time. Taken from a number of articles I have read it would appear Hydrogen Fuel Cells are the future, unfortunately, it is something I know very little about, so I have a lot of research to do on both the companies and the industry.
Thanks once again for getting me started.

slipanchor, there are a lot of companies looking for a stake in hydrogen. Take a look at this press release listing the companies that signed an open letter to the EU declaring support for the Clean Hydrogen Alliance.

Ones I have an interest in are: Nel, ITM, McPhy, PHE, PPS, Plug Power, Ballard, PowerCell, Ceres Power, Johnson Matthey, Siemens, Velocys, Fuelcell Energy. I also have a side interest in renewables with Vestas, TRIG, UKW, Siemens Gamesa, Orsted, Broadwind, and GE. Most of them have been good for me, but not all. A lot have a had a good run so you might have to pick your timing well depending on your time horizon. Do your research well. My own opinion is that it's still early days for Hydrogen so my time horizon is still 10 years. In that time I think some of them easily have 5x to 10x growth...I just don't know which ones.
Historically hydrogen has had a few false dawns. I like to ask "If not now. When?"...but one of the most dangerous phrases on the stock market is "This time it's different". Good luck.
toneman.
I noticed the share structure on my first visit, what other Hydrogen stocks do you recommend taking a look at.
Thank you Toneman - really useful info which makes absolute sense. I wish all boards were as informative as this one .... too many people get so overexcited when a share swings up and down with too many people buying or selling (and getting locked in or out or losing money) on recommendations based on nothing concrete.
I have now top sliced (a big slice ??) and will keep a close eye
Yes, lownat. Those shares are regularly sold to generate cash which is then lent to PPS at 10% interest. The debt building up is quite large. Naturally PPS need to borrow that cash to survive until order volumes take over, but selling chunks of this holding can easily suppress the share price on such a low volume traded share.
For the record, I still own shares in PPS, but they're all on a free ride. It could fly or it could fail, doesn't matter to me either way. So I'm not deramping, just want to make sure you are happy with the share structure before you continue.
My only concern with this share was the ownership structure. I moved on as a result.
Thanks Toneman ... do you mean the fact that 80%+ of shares are owned by 1 company?
lownat, check out the share structure of this company first before you make your investment decision. Make sure you're happy with that.
Thanks Skins4 - having read a bit more about pps today, I tend to agree this is going places!
Personally I have so far successfullly.. bought my first ones for mere pence..to my recent tranche wich are already well in profit..personally I just top slice usually once a year and keep building up my overall investment..They are in prime position at the very start of this green tech roll out...and I think company’s the quality of SHELL Using us says it all..very very exciting..GL
Thanks Skins4 .... I am now wondering if I should purchase more ...?
Well done you..and welcome to the happy bus here..The futures bright..the futures GREEN
Oh thanks Raj ... I hadn’t even thought of the discount scheme
Definitely go out for dinner - and make sure you get your Eat Out to Help discount!
Nice to get surprises like this.
Just popped into a little share dealing account I call affectionately “my dead dogs account” where I have shares i bought when I was new to trading ... Aim / Small caps, small stakes, many companies didn’t make it or had all sorts of refinancing shenanigans which rendered a fair few of my shares worthless (I have since learnt lots and doing much better and bigger on the stock market with another account) ... anyway, in October 2013 I had the good sense of buying 9500 PPS at 7.65p .... so I have just had a nice surprise indeed! Thinking of taking my husband out to dinner to celebrate ??
