@Eightyeight88 I assume that means you have finally decided to partake of a few shares yourself otherwise you're in the same boat as they are.

@Daveyman Good move re fertiliser, as its going to be scarce in 2027 due to the issues in the Middle East. Most fertliser and its component chemicals passes through the Straits.

Rising fuel costs are often blamed for increasing food prices, as fuel is essential for production and logistics. When fuel prices go up, the cost of goods rises, and when they fall, it takes time for those savings to filter into manufacturing and supply chains. If fuel prices keep climbing steadily, it’s no surprise that food costs follow suit after all, tractors and trucks don’t run on water.

@Aimless2026 What good news that hasn't already been presented to the market are you looking for in the presentation? Under the UK Market Abuse Regulation (MAR), companies are strictly prohibited from disclosing material non-public information often referred to as "inside information" to a select audience. Any presentation or broadcast must ensure that such information is disseminated via a Regulatory Information Service (RIS) to all market participants simultaneously. If a company were to reveal new, price-sensitive information during a private or limited-access presentation, attendees would be considered "insiders" and would be legally restricted from trading the company's shares until that information is made public.

Looking at threads over the last couple of days it appears the mood music has changed.

@Siggins There’s a pattern in past meetings where he’s had someone else present to handle the more public-facing role. Bo is a behind the scenes guy great at his job, just not as comfortable in public settings unless it’s a one on one interview then he comes into his own. Most of the questions sent his way included forward statements and details not in the public domain, so he couldn’t answer them without effectively making everyone at the meeting an insider.

@AllThatGlitters2 Oh look QHE has done precisely what I predicted it would do and lost all its gains from Friday this morning. Appears I'm not as dense as you think you are.

It’s fine, @swervington. The forum is bigger than a few miscreants, and just because some are intellectually challenged doesn’t mean the rest of the room is.

You're allowed an opinion @TheExsanguinator but like most of what you share. It doesn't make it true it just shows your intellectual unviability.

@AllThatGlitters2

Regarding the price action of QHE, the stock has exhibited a range-bound pattern, oscillating within a narrow percentage band since the shares in issue reached 50 billion. The rise on Friday appeared to correlate more with market maker adjustments to the spread than with significant underlying buy-side activity. It is foreseeable that the spread may widen and the price consolidate as a result. When considering the liquidity required to generate sustained price discovery, the high number of shares in issue necessitates substantial capital inflows to drive meaningful upward movement.

Regarding PREM, historical price data indicates a pattern of volatility associated with capital raises and subsequent fluctuations, which diverges from the price action of companies with lower share counts. It is worth noting that PREM has undergone multiple share consolidations, such as the 10-for-1 consolidation in October 2025; without these interventions, the share count would be significantly higher—well in excess of 80 billion. If the number of shares in issue were irrelevant, the company would not have incurred the costs associated with consolidating its share capital. There is a fundamental difference in how the market perceives a low volume of shares priced at £1 versus billions of shares priced at a fraction of a penny; the former generally facilitates more efficient price discovery.

The mechanics are straightforward: in companies with a low share quantity, a smaller amount of capital can move the share price significantly. Conversely, with a high volume of shares in issue, the market capitalisation is dispersed across a larger pool, requiring proportionally higher capital investment to achieve the same nominal price movement. The historical data for these tickers demonstrates that trading volume is often a product of these mechanics rather than an indicator of organic growth.

Regarding your comment on naming, my approach is to focus on the mechanics of the market and the fundamental valuation of the company, as I find that keeping to these data points provides the most reliable insight.

Did I suggest I was? I’ll get all the gossip on here once it’s over, then we’ll wait another six months before hearing anything more about the first milestone of the five-year plan on its way to being fulfilled. Remember, it was due to be completed by December, and still nothing, now it’s June tomorrow.

@Punter1234, you are confusing a colloquial term for an officer archetype with a specific rank. 'Rupert' refers to the archetype; you are the one who assigned a specific rank to me, which only confirms you are constructing a narrative to suit your own bias. Feel free to promote me if it fulfills your fantasy, but it is a figment of your own alternative reality, not my history.

Regarding your obsession with my financial status, it is a tedious projection. I am land-rich, not cash-rich. I have made no secret that I hold roughly £75k in liquid cash, with the remainder of my capital tied up in land, property, and investments with any profits reinvested to cover the care of my daughter when my wife and i are no longer able to. This structure is common knowledge to those who actually read my history rather than cherry-picking details to manufacture an argument. If the realities of my asset distribution or the existence of a family trust are too complex for you to grasp, that is your limitation, not mine.

I have no interest in your fantasies. Stick to the factual analysis of the investment case which is why you are here or continue with these performative outbursts. It makes no difference to me. I’m now off to watch a film with my daughter; I’m sure you’ll continue correlating your own screenplay in your head, as it’s become quite obvious that I live rent-free in there.

I’d rather get information through channels that hold legal weight than sit through conversations that just rehash what we already know, if anything worthwhile is even said. But if fawning over company members is your thing, go right ahead.

@Punter1234, there is no contradiction in my previous comments; the confusion lies entirely in your misinterpretation of the physics and the regulatory reality. If you believe there is a contradiction, cite it specifically rather than relying on innuendo.

Regarding my service with 2 Para (1978–1983), the facts are documented for those who value accuracy over assumption. I have shared details of the IWM exhibit chronicling my family’s service across multiple generations including citations and other honours. If you choose not to verify this, that is a matter of your own intellectual diligence. However, I have never disclosed my rank in any post. The fact that you are aware of it proves you have either researched my background extensively or contacted the IWM yourself; you have effectively tripped yourself up with your own scrutiny.

Since you are so keen to discuss military history, perhaps you should reflect on your previous errors such as your claim regarding the Iranian Embassy siege, where you suggested the Iranians were the aggressors rather than the victims. A rudimentary knowledge of the event would also remind you that the operation was conducted by the SAS, not the Paras. I have no interest in a petty slanging match, but I will continue to find your attempts at misdirection quite amusing."

Or you could do both or even more, like I do. I hold shares, funds, gold, silver, premium bonds, FOREX, diamonds, and crypto, each has its pros and cons, but they’re all worthwhile investment types. Don’t let people on an anonymous forum tell you the right or wrong way to invest. Anyone who does should be treated with the utmost caution, as they clearly don’t have a clue themselves.

Any public remarks from Andrew Roughan can only address information already known. They won’t include any forward-looking statements unless those have been previously disclosed to the market, so if you’re expecting something new or exciting, you’ll likely be disappointed.

Your reply doesn’t answer my question. I’ve read every RNS issued by the company and watched every interview, so with that out of the way, what’s coming up that isn’t already covered in an RNS? Meetings and interviews don’t carry any legal weight, just information shared through a Regulatory News Service in one form or another. So again, I ask, what is going to get interesting next week and in what timescale?

For clarification how is it going to get interesting and in what timescale? Nothing has been rns'd to suggest it will

@Punter1234 In terms of the technical reality of helium storage, it is important to distinguish between thermodynamic stability and physical containment. Because helium is an inert noble gas with the smallest atomic radius of any element, it presents unique challenges. In a standard tube trailer, helium is stored as a high-pressure gas, typically up to 250 bar. Unlike liquefied helium, which requires complex cryogenic infrastructure to manage "boil-off," compressed helium gas is thermodynamically stable at ambient temperatures. Therefore, it does not "boil" or change phase regardless of temperature fluctuations, provided the vessel remains sealed. However, high-pressure vessels are subject to permeation where gas molecules migrate through materials at an atomic level as well as mechanical leakage at valves and seals. Importantly, this leakage does not imply a catastrophic loss of contents; the rate of loss is often less than 1% per annum. While this means the gas is not lost in its entirety, the practical reality of gas logistics is that the average period of containment for these trailers is 45 days or less, as the gas is moved through the supply chain long before any measurable degradation of pressure or purity occurs.

Junior exploration companies, particularly those listed on AIM, operate within a high-risk profile where project viability is often contingent on successive capital raises and technical milestones. For these entities, the timing of capital raises is a critical indicator of financial health, and regulatory bodies like the FCA require stringent disclosure for main market entities. Projects typically transition through stages from initial survey and drilling to resource estimation and commercial development with each phase carrying significant execution risk. In the absence of independent, verified data, such as JORC or NI 43-101 technical reports, information published on social media or investment forums remains speculative. Regulatory bodies mandate that companies publish updates through official channels to ensure parity of information for all shareholders. Furthermore, the commercial value of a project is not merely the presence of gas, but the recoverable resource and the infrastructure costs required to bring that gas to market, which necessitates complex extraction and purification before it can be compressed into trailers for transport.

I hope that clears things up, and I look forward to your next round of misrepresented claims about what I’ve said. I’m guessing you’re a Born Again Christian who enjoys quoting the Bible out of context as well. When quoting me, you should include the full context rather than piecing together half a sentence here and half a sentence there.

@Lynmouth4 Taking a profit is a personal decision, and one should never feel guilty about securing gains after being burned by past experiences like TUI or Superdry. However, your perspective on ITM Power’s financial stability seems to overlook its current position. ITM has successfully bolstered its balance sheet with significant government funding, including an £86.5m package from the UK government in April 2026, which substantially reinforces its cash runway. When you combine this with their disciplined cost control and growing order book, the company is on much firmer ground than the "cash-burn" narratives of the past might suggest.

Regarding your concern over a "correction," it is worth noting that while the market can be volatile, suggesting the company would "feel" a global downturn is speculative, given their focus on long-term infrastructure contracts and strategic energy security. Furthermore, labelling a potential price drop as a "correction" implies the current share price is overinflated; many who track the sector would argue that, given the company's progress and the long-term outlook for the green hydrogen economy, the stock is still trading well below its fair value. A lower entry point, in that sense, would arguably be a chance to accumulate rather than a sign of a negative trend. Regardless, enjoying the returns and putting that capital to good use for the family is the ultimate win in any investor's book. Good luck with the house move or whatever plans you have for the proceeds.
