Great 'bounce back' on the SP - really promising for the future - I stick to my prediction of 3 figures by 2022

769 .... @40p .... = £307.6 plus any transaction charges

Bought 300k shares in may last year for £60k - sitting on just short of 200% now - this will hit 3 figures by 2022 - sitting tight now . 3 years ago it was 180 ,2 years 65p - so we have a long way to climb back - but its one step at a time - will sell some when it hits £1 - sort the kids out a treat.

Took a big hit - out - Directors are criminal over this and you can forget any investigation with Bailey still around in the finance system

There is nothing really new in this technology, an an 'ex marine engineer officer' with BP Shipping similar methods were used 50 years ago in the 1970's.
We used to collect and burn the bilge water and waste (all the leakages in the engine room) and mix it with HFO (in a unit called a 'Storm Tank' and burn it in the boilers so that we did not have to pay to land it in port AND to get the heat energy from it.
We also ran large marine diesels on a mix of powdered coal and HFO. On a 6 cylinder B & W engine 3 units ran on HFO at sea and 3 units on the 'powdered mix' - and isotopes were used to monitor what was happening in the cylinder and ignition .
Surprisingly wear in the cylinders was not heavy and it put to sleep the old myth that you always put on piston rings with the gap 180 degrees out from adjacent rings (for the technical - whilst monitoring we could see the rings rotating at different speeds and hence at times all the gaps in the rings lined up and gas passed the rings to the engine sump)
Diesel engined vessels changed over to 'clean diesel' when coming into port and similarly Steam turbine vessels also switched to clean fuel.
HFO which was used when 'deep sea' went solid when cold and had to be heated to over 250 deg C just to be able to pump it, it was like bitumen and was the residue after all the 'good stuff' was sold off - it also was contaminated with 'catalytic fines', sulphur and water .....!!
Just a little bit of history for prospective investors on here ....

I note your sentiment regarding the management performance and monitoring of its processes - have you put a contract out on the B.O.D. yet ??
I think that an SP rise to 26 / 27p is well achievable in the short term and maybe 30p in 6 months - either way - from the present SP of less than 20p this still equates to a good profit for those who want to wait 3 - 6 months - 35% / 50% - so I am happy to hold or even increase my holding on any dips.

Looking at the SP and the RNS issued - it is obvious that the value of the Trust is way above it's present SP - asking around the figure I gather is in the low 30p value ... has anyone else got more info ..?

With Beckman and India in the fold we can look forward to SP rise back into 3 figures OR a SHARK coming along for a cheap meal...

I think the present SP rise is just the beginning - google penalty removed / income increased / and whispers of a bid at these prices .... Good luck to all holders

If you were the directors and the shares had slumped to less than £1 - what is the quickest way to get interest in the shares and raise the SP - spread a rumour regarding 'shoring up our defences' against a real or imaginary bid .... Watch the SP on Monday ... Or the Pump and dump brigade are at it as well - dial a rumour ....

Cannot get access to sell on HL - annoying when there is a good profit to be had but cannot sell

As published on SKY

Asked for an update on plans to recruit thousands of contact tracers, Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis told Sky News this morning: "I don't think we've got to 18,000 just yet, I think there's about 15,000 applications, we're looking to as you say get up to 18,000."

Pressed for an exact number of contact tracers recruited, he responded: "As of this morning I'm not sure of exactly how many of the 15,000 have been hired, earlier in the week it was about 1,500, it would have gone up since then."

Addressing a regular Westminster briefing for journalists, the prime minister's spokesman said the 1,500 figure was out of date and "significantly more" have since been recruited.

Just wondering , just how many 'punters' out there in 'gamble land' have done the whole hog and invested across the board on all of the Pharma companies - looking at my present holding I see I am into 4 companies (thankfully all in blue) - but jumping out/in is the name of the game ...

After getting my fingers 'burnt' a few times can I offer a few words to those jumping in here
1 - Do NOT fall n love with your investment - you invested to make money decide what is a good profit and take it.
2 - GREED is the ENEMY of profit - people stay in too long and what goes up - will come down (at some time) - so take your stake back - plus a bit of 'extra' and then watch the rest of the 'punt' if you still like it.
3 - Lots of people with lots of different agendas on thes BB's - don't use the comments as a reason to trade - the rampers and derampers have no technical inside knowledge - wishing a share to move in a certain direction does not make it happen.
DYOR and do not spend your pension ......

With HL they are sending out info next week on how to vote OR you can send them a message / email with your decision

Jacob Young the new Con for Redcar etc should also be targetted. Boris has announced £100 billion for Northern Powerhouse - now is the time to put pressure on ALL MPs- but surely ALL those in and around the area...

If the figures and data are there, why isn't the sentiment and support

Nixan - words out of my mouth, Flappingchicken's attitude of ""I'm alright "" is what you can find when you ignore what the company is trying to do. It is not just about the SP.
Regenerate an area with limited jobs so that people are on Min wage in dead end tourist or fast food jobs.
Regenerate a Port and the supporting infrastructure (bought too early and now costing us ...) It is in an area of outstanding beauty - but that doesn't put food on the the table. NYNP is full of people who have independent wealth and do not have to work for a living - the rest of the area does - if there are any jobs that is...
As I am corrected by Littlened - All I wanted was to Govt to back the 500M bond - and then we had access to 2.5 B of revolving credit - enough to finish the mine.
But after all the MP's have had their mugshot and press cutting service slows down - we have nothing.
I hope against hope that some white knight will ride by and say - 'Yup, I'll have some of that' and the mine gets finished and the PI's who have been in from the start can have something to show for their support and the Govt can use the income generated in tax (and more income and corporation tax from more workers and companies in the regenerated area) to help Flappingchichen decide what to put his money ..........
ATB to the LTH

SpruceGoose2 - What really galls me is that after 'doing the rounds' and raising the capital require in 'Round 1' SXX should NOT have blown all of its money until Round 2 was fully and irrevocably secured.
If sinking the shaft was the main problem then it should have been ring fenced and just that secion been offered large returns to sink the hafts, whilst SXX built the tunnels.
Our forefathers have sunk many shafts and the technology has improved dramatically since then ...
The Govt. and various ministers have all visited and the dropping of the baton was the main cause of the failure and a better and complete argument given to the Govt. - possibly even including a % ownership - I would have settled for 90% of the finished cake instead of 100% of no cake.
Some would argue that it is the NYNP that have lobbied the Govt , since they lost out on the planning appeal.

Tex, I understand that , but my holding has just about zero value, (apart from the lesson about the stock market trolls etc.)
Luckily it was a 'side investment' (not pension or whatever and I am already retired) - This country has no stomach for large investment projects (just look at the fracas of the Nuclear Power Industries and the like) - it sends a strong message that the once Manufacturing Base of the UK is dead and buried and that UK is only good for fast food outlets (don't tell Jamie Oliver though) and financial impropriety services.
