Hi James, Your scenario isn't contrasting with mine? Of course your scenario is what has happened? You've described the factual occurences? Questions: Why did they raise at lower than the share price? Why did the share price slowly decline to around the offer price over a few weeks and then rise back up afterwards? It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that people in the market traded it.

Isn't it obvious? I'm amazed no one has pointed it out. The price was holding around 7p until we got close to the fund raise. The price then declined to around the price of the raise. The money came in and the price is coming back up. It's happened every time and shows how many in the market knew about it before it was announced and were trading on it.It is obvious foul play. Nothing will ever get done about it. Something I would like to point out is that in another AIM share I hold (SAT) to about the same level as I do RED they have recently raised more funds AT A PREMIUM to the price at the time of raising, so it is possible. The fact that we have to consistently raise funds well below the share price tells me that either the institutions investing won't invest without a big discount which doesn't inspire much confidence, or that the person/team raising the funds is a crap salesman. Neither are great conclusions. Still I remain in here as my biggest holding with the faith in the 'revolution'.

appleby, you own 5% share of the company? Really?!

Marketing is what needs to be done

I'm not surprised about the RNS as I think we had heard this was in the pipeline, but I am surprised that the UK government would be willing to provide a grant to a company that pays the CEO �350k a year but isn't profit making. A company paying that salary is no longer a start up and shouldn't really require start up funding for its tech. If he was on �150k a year there'd be �200k extra every year to go in to tech improvements. I suspect that in the DD this was a red flag and was discussed. I'm disappointed that they haven't exerted some influence over this, or maybe they have. We shall wait and see.

I'm disappointed that Munters hasn't popped up with a c.3p prediction!

Anyone noticed a trend with shares stagnating in the last couple of months at the same time as this surge in interest in cryptos? I feel like everyone is now looking somewhere else. I wondered if anyone agreed and how everyone thinks this will pan out? Will these investors be moving their interest back to shares in the near future? Will there suddenly be more money in the market? Are returns over here not as exciting as on the cryptos?etc etc. This can't have escaped everyone's minds?

Beebo, I'm not sure you're best placed to advise on use of English, but thank you for that. I'll stick with "clutching". Regarding your post, you've claimed that as an investor I should be pleased with my 2 year holding because there was at one point a higher price and I could have made some profit and also because I haven't lost money. If this is your criteria for being content with an investment you're every BOD's dream shareholder.

Because I'm a long term investor? To indicate that it's a good year for investors because there has been volatility and therefore I could have sold is utterly ridiculous and is clutching at straws.

I'm not sure on what basis you think it has been a good year for investors. The company might be in a better position but the stock price hasn't moved. I've been in for 2 years now and have nothing to show.

Yes, I'd agree with that. It is making everyone think about flow machines more, which is great. Unfortunately the capacity market only ever made up about 6% of the revenues in the lithium model and as a result it isn't QUITE as game changing as the news suggested, but it's a step in the right direction.

Bolgas, we've been over this before. What government policy do you think has put an end to lithium?

As long as JSmith doesn't insult people he/she can say whatever he wants as long as it isn't market abuse etc etc. People need to untwist their knickers. J Smith is probably looking out the window waiting for sirens the way you guys are going on at him/her!

Why is that, General?

greenlight for what?

GL?

It would appear that whatever the news announcement of the underlying companies nothing happens with Polo. It's a bizarre scenario where the value of the shares held have no relation to the actual value of Polo. I suppose something is only worth what people are willing to pay and for some reason no one is willing to pay. I can only assume people just don't trust this company otherwise it would trade close to it's actual value. So frustrating.

Will anything ever make this rise or are investors steering clear...

We need press announcements in bulk

Beepopalula...I'm not sure you got my joke!
