Why does he think we’ve got first advantage here?

We have the opportunity for clear first mover advantage in the EV charging market in particular and through the much-appreciated efforts of our employees and partners, look forwards to delivering on our commitments to support the UK's and international efforts towards a net zero society"

Got it, thanks moscorum, thought even longer. Dow huge finish up. Energy shares not major up, Ballard about 8% currently.

This was the main reason for ITM which you'll have seen on the their LSE page, means a big deal with goverment involved, seem very close with each other.....

Is Tradegate trading outside of normal trading hours? Does it often refelect in the days start of trading? I have looked up TG btw .....

In all fairness, ITM have had a £7.5m funding grant from the UK government and do have some turnover, about £3.8M - albeit a much larger cap. Look at First Berlin price target. We need some of this coverage and details of sales to really motor up, but what do I know. The market cap of AFM is still relatively low

Hydrogen is the lead cover story in Moneyweek that landed on the shelves on Friday.

https://moneyweek.com/investments/commodities/energy/renewables/600889/hydrogen-the-cleaner-greener-fuel-that-will-power

Inside the magazine, after the cover story, has a box titled "Four ways to play the rise of hydrogen" which highlights CWR, ITM, MCPHY and SIE

So many gaps in this share, showed someone at my office that knows this stuff welland even he was surprised.
Big gap at 20.6 this morning, no idea if needs to be filled or when.
22.9p resistance point if held, then it's a strong trend up...so I'm told! Subject to markets etc.....

Scratching my head! Maybe last week priced in the rising cases and maybe worse. Let’s hope we can maintain it...who can work markets out. I thought oversold last week. Dow Futures did big swerve overnight.

I wasn’t sure if I was allowed to post the link, some seem to get taken down.
Let’s hope we can limit the downside to 10% tomorrow. Fridays move before the gap fill could be on revisited, really hoping not. The weekend coverage had the end of life as we know it feel!

Billionaire Chung Eui-sun has big plans for Hyundai Motor Group, the second-biggest family-controlled conglomerate in South Korea.

The 49-year-old heir apparent is doubling down on zero-emission vehicles as the global auto industry is transitioning towards environmentally friendly cars. For example, the Hyundai group, which includes sister company Kia Motors, is investing billions into hydrogen-powered cars (which only emit water vapor from their tailpipes). Just a few weeks ago, Eui-sun was in Washington, D.C. to collaborate with the U.S. Department of Energy on hydrogen fuel-cell technology.

The Korean automaker is also working on self-flying electric cars with Uber, which Hyundai announced at CES in Las Vegas last month. It was just one of a string of future mobility technology projects Hyundai is investing $87 billion over the next few years since Eui-sun was elevated to executive vice chair of the group in 2018. In Forbes’ latest wealth rankings for South Korea, Eui-sun was ranked No. 11 with $2.67 billion.

Agreed. But you’re effect sales down by 30% this year you think? Can’t tell yet I guess.

The breadth and intensity of this week’s coronavirus-fueled selloff in U.S. stocks has some analysts scratching their heads.

Thomas Lee, founder of Fundstrat Global Advisors, may be one of the few to acknowledge that something isn’t right with a market that was just enjoying a record close days ago.

This is not normal and the market is clearly indicating to us a change,” Lee said, in a research report on Friday.

Lee said the oddities playing out in the market, including several days of 1,000-point drops in the same week for the Dow Jones Industrial Average DJIA-3.76% , signifies four things (though his tongue may be planted firmly in his cheek on the last item):

A significant change in economic fundamentals
A significant increase in ‘risk’ to the fundamentals
The market’s financial plumbing is breaking down
A meteor or alien invasion to end global existence has been spotted but its arrival is unknown (or a virus pandemic)

Lee says the fear about the uncertain impact of the virus is a credible one but believes that investors may be overreacting to a great extent. “Because of the idiosyncratic nature of a potential pandemic, it is really difficult to know when it is priced in," he said.

He makes the case that “markets are bottoming this week” even as financial markets head into a weekend where uncertainties could deliver a fresh wallop to confidence. He is forecasting a so-called V-shaped, or sharp, recovery for the market.

He also noted that his optimistic forecast could be impeded by further negative reports of the viral outbreak, but said that he wouldn’t be surprised if the government kicks in surprise plans to help stance the bleeding in markets. Those might include:

- A health-care action plan by the U.S.

An announcement of financial support by the Treasury Department

- Other fiscal stimulus packages

- An emergency interest-rate cut by the Fed

He also speculated that the Federal Reserve could announce a special facility to support stocks —“Yes, I realize they don’t have legal authority at the moment, but has anyone heard of ‘Presidential Executive Order’”?, he asked.

So far, Fed officials on Friday didn’t seem ready to reduce already-low benchmark interest rates from a current 1.50-1.75% range or enact a fresh batch of stimulus, though they seemed to leave the door open. The 10-year Treasury note rate was at 1.16% on Friday, trading at a fresh record low for the benchmark debt.

I’m not of course and would hate to be caught up in it as pretty frightening for sure. But for stock markets reactions as part of BBC bulletin just out

But Russ Mould, investment director at AJ Bell, said that the reaction of investors to the announcements by companies was becoming increasingly irrational.
"Yes, the outbreak is frightening. Yes, it's unquantifiable. But is it as bad as a traditional influenza season in the West? No."
He said it had killed fewer people in Europe than the French heatwave last year.
"I don't want to sound macabre or unconcerned about it, but it shows how stock market sentiment has shifted from being over-exuberant to having no fear at all to now having reassessed things in a more sober fashion."

Bonkers imho. Sanity will prevail unless this thing spreads like the plague. They didn’t have scientists and vaccines like we do now. ( well, not one for the Corona one quite yet but soon). They often can’t cute flu though! Rebound soon I think but not huge with all the press this is getting to interest viewers. I wouldn’t like to catch it btw or flu!

How deadly is the coronavirus?
Based on data from 44,000 patients with this coronavirus, the WHO says:
¦ 81% develop mild symptoms
¦ 14% develop severe symptoms
¦ 5% become critically ill
The proportion dying from the disease, which has been named Covid-19, appears low (between 1% and 2%) - but the figures are unreliable.
Thousands are still being treated but may go on to die - so the death rate could be higher. But it is also unclear how many mild cases remain unreported - so the death rate could also be lower.
To put this into context, about one billion people catch influenza every year, with between 290,000 and 650,000 deaths. The severity of flu changes every year.

9/11 didn't and aftermath last too long though, was very smart time to buy then

There was a huge gap at 20.2p this morning, which has now been filled ( if one can believe all this stuff)
So it's filled, now what.....as in a downtrend. Just need markets to turn of course

Last time Footsie was this level was July 2016

ok, sorry muscorum. It just seemed that the bounce back up was linked, certainly as a general sector and they are 4% up now. I care or know little abou them, aside from the fact we're closely tracking recent price movements but will leave it now .

Ballard has gone from 5.50 ( 15% down) at open to 8.38 ( 1% up) so far.....!?
