Let’s stop exchanging non-productive barbs and focus on putting pressure on the company to communicate more to the shareholders. We should put pressure on the CEO and the board by sending emails, sms, tweets etc to force this issue. As I posted in the past, the company should go back and publish again a quarterly email as they did until February 2018. It was called "Velocys SpeedRead Newsletter."
If you really think the US work is not relevant to what is being done in the UK, then you’re not as keyed into this as i thought. It’s very relevant.
If you want to silo the two markets, let’s talk about how well VLS have done in the US, versus others. Nil investment.
T...don't waste your time on this individual...they are either a paid VLS basher or an ex employee that has a massive chip on their shoulder....maybe even a competitor who is frightened of what VLS might do to their business model...any one of those is not worth the time.
XPB: We are talking UK not US, so your Lanzatech comment is invalid. As VLS has received funding from Shell and BA as well as government money awarded following a competitive process (F4C), your postulation remains conjecture, not fact.
To use Lanazatech as an example, they’ve raised over £300m in funding and have steel in the ground.
Vls rely on Gov handouts and having nothing more than a CGI model.
It’ll be an interesting queue.
I take speculative positions in VLS based on news, but this one will be nothing more than a negative cash flow company, imho.
He/ She won't answer you thurgarton. They have been asked countless times but always refuses. If he/she was a normal person they would have answered but as we all know they are here to trash the company in thousands of poor posts and show themselves up for what they are ..a totally disreputable person!
XPB: As usual, you are basing your premise on pure conjecture. More to the point, you still haven't answered my question - why do you continue to post when you have no financial interest?
Thurg. You’ve missed the point again. VLS have achieved little to nothing material in the last 18 months. Once other players such as Lanzatech achieve PP, the perceived lead that VLS has will be no longer be a differentiator and in fact, Will push them to the back of the financing queue.
XPB: In other words, sometime "soon" (undefined) somebody else will reach the position that VLS (Altalto) reached 18 months ago!! Stating the obvious as usual - why don't you answer the only question that the board is interested in, namely why do you bother when you have no financial interest?
What’s then fascination with planning permission? It won’t be long until we have several SAF projects with planning permission secured. The companies’ ability to deliver a proven project is what counts.
Typisch Aim.It will either 'zoom' due to its previous R&D efforts, previous planning permissions, extremely favourable policy etc... or not.Enough R&D has been pumped in in the last decade.I'm still long but there will be derampers naturally until we reach a higher marketcap and probably even then but from other sources such as hedgefunds, which enjoy shorting, even temporarily and often wrongly, companies in the billion marketcaps.Surely with the right R&D and planning permission and partners at this current marketcap the company is worth a shot?
I say so.Perhaps some would rather short a green company with planning permission below 100 mill marketcap?
That didn't work as planned.. try again..

Strong bid today again, creeping up from 6.42p to 6.78p bid now.. it really feels like we are just one utterance from Johnson at the COP26 re. VLS and SAF for a sharp burst higher. We are stalling at the previous resistance around 6.92p, but it is coming to the apex of an ascending triangle and looks set to break higher. A sharp enough break higher could see it shoot right through the 7.32 resistance and up to the top of a trend channel around 7.50p. Breaking that should see it retake the 8p area.
Hi all.. sorry, been travelling, hadn't a chance to post while it dropped..! Hindsight now I know, but that drop wasn't really anything to worry about for me, and in fact it was probably healthy.. there was always a big chance after a run-up of over 50% in a few weeks there would be a pullback. There was always a big likelihood of a retest of the 200day MA and the 200 week and 50 week MAs around the 6p level, which fully held it and has turned into the base for the push higher like I said it might a few weeks back. Stochastics, RSI etc were overbought too, so no harm in easing back the throttle a little.
There was probably a combination of some deciding to bank their speculative profits of 40% or so after gambling on a push higher ahead of COP26, some shorting the overbought signals, stop losses being triggered for nervous late-comers and some nervous weak hands fearing it would return to the 5p level selling out.
Today was a very good day again, pushing it back towards the 7p level and repeating a similar pattern to last November when it climbed to almost 8p, pulled back to 6p then shot up to 11p.. we could well see something similar again, but first we have to overcome the 7.32p-7.50p resistance that held it last time before we can take on 7.80p-8.30p level. Got a good feeling about it though, fingers crossed..
expatbrat - "I disagree."
You always do. That's why it doesn't matter any more. These are things anyone can check for themself.
1) Even though the share price is lower than five years ago, the company's market cap is 50% to 100% higher.
2) Everybody knows that a company's share price five years ago is no reflection on how today's price will compare to next month's, next year's etc.
Hopefully we have consolidation at 6p. I wonder what soothsayer MyrtleMan can tell us
Das Posten auf Deutsch in diesem Forum ist eine lästige Übung, die noch verschlimmert wird, wenn Sie nicht verwandten Müll posten!
Auswanderer:
Die -85% müssen Dich sehr hart getroffen haben !
Wie kann man sich mit einem Investment so das Leben versauen.
I see you are still redramping there EXP.. anyone holding shares in this company wouldnt pedal that kind of sheight unless they were trying to bounce the share price for their own trading gains. What a despicable parasite you are.
I disagree. The fundamental VLS technology has not changed. Projects they are trying to finance and develop are stagnant. Partners (Shell) have departed and snuggled up to VLS competitors. They’ve executed several fund raises at the expense of the shareholders and have made little tangible progress with the proceeds of the raises. They are also biting off far more than they can chew with these billion dollar projects.
4p here we come.
expatbrat - "50% rise in three months? What about the 85% fall in five years?"
It's a pointless comparison for two reasons:
1) The company's still worth much more than it was five years ago.
2) Its share price five years ago is no reflection on how today's price will compare to next month's, next year's etc.
You should be able to work that out for yourself.
Just topped up so hope it was a good move
oh the clown expat is back. what a pleasure.
