"Why should anyone contact companies house on behalf of the BoD when they haven’t issued any comms to explain why the company was removed from the trading platform (Britdaq) in June 2019. That’s almost 5 months of silence!"
This is why you should object through companies house, that way the Bod are fined and the Company does not get struck off.
You can object to a limited company’s application to be struck off the companies register if you’re a shareholder or other interested party, such as a creditor, and have a reason to stop the application, for example:
you’ve not been told about the company’s decision
you think the declarations on the company’s application are false
the directors have broken the law, for example tax fraud
you want to take legal action against the company
I would advice people to email Companies House and to object.

Eco (Atlantic) Oil & Gas (ECO) announced an update on the initial analysis of the Jethro and Joe wells and the share price more than halved. This is a prime example of why you should never fully believe any of these companies - and always take profits or de-risk. This is a permanent statement in the blog and I really can't emphasise the importance of this enough. All I can say in this case is that it is inconceivable that Tullow Oil (TLW) and hence ECO did not know it was heavy oil before the announcement. Remarkably, indeed shockingly, Gil Holzman, CEO, was promoting ECO to private investors at a London South East promotional event the day before. If you believe people can be judged by the company they keep, then him sharing a promotional platform with Matt Lofgran of Nostra Terra Oil & Gas (NTOG) possibly says it all.

We have a big divide between Retail and Private investors on today’s AIM and if you understand the game, you will see how uneven the playing field is for new investors.
Retail is when an individual takes part in a placing (usually at a discount to the current SP) or IPO – listing of a new company and can be given warrants along with shares they purchase. Warrants are like free money if the SP reaches the option price to exercise. Lots of retail investors sell their shares for a profit and hold on to the warrants, hence the reason they still talk about the share. They have already sold but want a second bite of the cherry.
They have access to a broker and will be notified and offered deals when companies need to raise funds(classed as inside once you know this information). But the advantage this gives the individual is that they’ll know when a placing is coming in a company.
As a private investor/shareholder looking from the outside, you don’t know any of the above and will always be at the mercy of the markets.
On a closing note, Brokers are here to oil the greasy wheels of AIM and keep the money machine turning by introducing newly listed companies, raising cash for their company clients and looking for investors to buy their products.
The AIM market is not hard to understand if you keep an open mind and realise it is never going to be a level playing field. Most importantly, strangers are not your friend. You will hear the terms used across social media; forward selling, flipping, bear squeeze, T10-15-20, short-long position the list is endless.
The main thing to remember, you press the buy and sell buttons, no one is putting a gun to your head. When you are winning, everything will be a bed of roses, but when you are joining the 90% gang, don’t say no-one warned you.

We need to stop here and ask two simple questions; For these two scenarios to be truthful or partially correct, these people are breaking the law. Its called having inside information. People go to prison if convicted and the USA takes a stronger stance if they are manipulating an American company.
Sad to say the FCA in the UK doesn’t show the same appetite or enthusiasm to make changes any time soon.
Confused, you should be but here is a simple question to answer; Someone comes up to you on the street and says “hand me £2,000” and I will make you a lot of money. What would be your reply?
So why would you listen to website Bloggers who are unaccountable, Facebook, WhatsApp, Twitter, bulletin boards you name it, none are FCA regulated and yet for some bizarre reason, we see this happening every week on social media and the trail of destruction it leaves behind.
For the unseasoned, social media is a shark-infested pond and the bodies of past investors are for all to see.
Yes, that is how crazy the world of AIM you have landed yourself in, works. Just like the iguana you are fighting for daylight every day on the AIM battlefield.
But wait it gets worse, the very company you have researched and TRUST with all your money turn out to be a lifestyle venture for the CEO, Directors and they dilute all your investment to the point of it being worthless. They raise cash in discount placings, but of course, you will never know when this is happening unless you are on the gravy train.
You are left with shares no-one will buy and it is only a matter of time before the company de-lists and its goodbye to your money.
The lower the market cap of a company on the AIM listing, the easier it is for a group of organised investors to manipulate the share price. This is commonly known as ramping as most of these companies, shares they talk about will be forgotten as soon as the group involved reach their sale price. You will pick up on a share being talked about and buy into the noise without even understanding what the actual company is about.
Once again the wise money will have gone and you are left locked-in. Then you alone will have to decide to hold or sell at a loss? If you repeat this mistake you are on your way to being one of the 90% who loses all in the first year on the AIM magic roundabout
You will be told your investments are going to multi-bag and you will live happily ever after. It sounds cynical but with the Alternative Investment Market now home to over 1,000 companies all looking for your money, yes it is a minefield.
Total worth around £106.8bn (Dec 2017) sterling plus and governing body FCA unwilling to help, you’re truly on your own.
Investors would have lost money in 72% of all the companies ever to have listed on Aim, according to the professors, part of the team who designed the FTSE 100 index
You are entering a market that is geared up statically for you to lose a large proportion of your investment in the first year. It’s a ruthless place, make no mistake about it. Money changes people and this is a race that only the fittest will survive.
However, it’s not a race to the bottom IF you protect yourself. It is about survival and learning from others mistakes – you won’t get many chances to survive if you don’t learn quickly.
Let’s cut to the chase here because that is how they make money, it’s that simple. The cake only has so many slices and once your fellow traders have eaten their slice, you could easily be left holding the empty plate.
Ask yourself one question before continuing, watch the video and be honest, imagine the iguana and then yourself in a similarly hostile environment, understand the game?
Just like the new baby hatchling, you’ll face enemies from all sides. No-one is your friend and they all want to take your money off you, keep that in mind. You have calculated when to hold and stay holding or if you see trouble, know when to sell before everyone else. The last thing you need is to be left in no man’s land while the wise money has left the building, the snakes will get you.
Make no mistake about it, this is free for all with no boundaries. You are entering the AIM wild west where the sheriff is the nomads and, get this, is paid by the very companies you’re investing in and should protect you. No conflict of interest of course as the London Stock Exchange is in the business of protecting investors.
But hold on, don’t mention Chines companies, CEO’s or Directors who came, saw a good thing, list on the London market and then done a bunk will all the shareholder’s money.
Today we have the concept on social media of total strangers you have never meet or know giving out advice, telling you their share is the next best thing since sliced bread? Then on the flip side of the coin is other people saying sell as a placing is coming, the company is bankrupt, or the CEO can’t run a business.

Sorry but i hear this story all the time from retail investors, on how bad these markets are but come tomorrow they will make that choice and Invest/trade the markets.
People need to remember the markets is designed in a way that the institution and corporate investors make their money from the retail investor .
Take I3e Energy only about 19% of the share capita is available to the retail investor. The rest is either private or institutions.
Very big miss-match.
This is why AIM is littered with people losing there money
Accumulation Phase
The accumulation phase begins when institutional investors – such as mutual funds, pension funds and large banks – buy up substantial shares of a given stock. Price forms a base as the shares of stock are accumulated. Institutional investors must buy over long periods of time so as not to conspicuously drive up the price of the stock, giving them a long time horizon.
This phase is not a lucrative time for retail investors to buy, as capital will be tied up, or the investor may experience a large drawdown of capital. However, recognizing the signs of accumulation gives insight to future opportunity. During this phase, price moves mostly sideways in a range. The range is identified by variable pivot highs and lows (Figure 1) and whipsaw-type price movement.
Markup Phase
During the markup phase, price breaks out of range and begins a sustained uptrend. An uptrend is defined as a series of higher pivot highs and higher pivot lows. This stage is when the price begins moving up. The big money has established a position and retail investors are now invited to join in the profit party. This is the most profitable time to own the stock – an opportunity to let your profits run. The earlier you can recognize this stage, the more you can profit.
Use trend-trading strategies during this stage. An example of a trend-trading strategy would be to draw a trendline along with the pivot lows and stay long above the upward trendline. Entering a stock early in the markup phase leads to the greatest potential profits. Classic trend trading involves entering the stock at pullbacks above the trendline (Figure 4).
Institutional Investors
Institutional investors are the big guys on the block—the elephants. They are the pension funds, mutual funds, money managers, insurance companies, investment banks, commercial trusts, endowment funds, hedge funds, and also some private equity investors. Institutional investors account for about three-quarters of the volume of trades on the New York Stock Exchange. They move large blocks of shares and have a tremendous influence on the stock market's movements. Because they are considered sophisticated investors who are knowledgeable and, therefore, less likely to make uneducated investments, institutional investors are subject to fewer of the protective regulations that the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) provides to your average, everyday inv
They are being conservative with the figures. Majid Shafiq said at the O&G conference their could be 600+ Million but they are being conservative until they drill the next two wells planned for early 2020
Yes you are right their is some risk but that is low now, I3e have the added data from the first well drilled plus the extra data they have acquired. Which give them a better chance of getting it right this time around.
If that is the case then the $100 Million funding will not be an issue . I3e will partner for development of Serenity and is going to drill two more development wells early 2020, which they have already identified and planed the location. Also Majid Shafiq said yesterday the reserves could be much high but at the moment they are being conservative. Also I3e are open to farm in over the rest of the blocks.
So yes a couple of more fences to jump then they are on the home straight run
