If only we bag-holders of INFA were as unlucky!

Either way, Caesar will be just fine!

ban4118,
I wouldn't be happy for you to be proven wrong!

Perhaps a zoo, too?

"(JW) has said many things".

Ain't that the truth...

stokey12,
This is becoming tedious, but the symbol =/= is universally acknowledged to mean "does not equal".
Is English not your first language, by any chance? If not, your muddled posting is completely understandable. Otherwise...

Revenue =/= profit.
It seems there are a number on this board who do not understand the distinction, God help them.

stokey12,
Unlike many on this board, I refrain from hurling personal insults, but your continual use of the term "revenue generating" is troubling - I take it you do understand the concept of profit and how it is derived?

WimH,
Your original post appears to have garnered much support. I have been posting the same since the original H&W acquisition, to great derision and abuse. As I stated at the time of the Belfast purchase, if I am building a house, I don't buy Travis Perkins to save a few quid on bricks. I note that the original justification for the acquisition, to save on fabrication costs for IslandMagee, has been dropped for the utter rowlocks that it clearly was.
As far as I can determine, the recent bonuses were in cash. Your term "emotional blackmail" is pretty close to the mark, in my view - buy up defunct assets in economically deprived areas, tell the politicians what they want to hear, because politicians are thick and believe what they want to believe, then use the acquisitions to justify fund raises in order to trouser a shed-load of cash. This is why I raised on here the name DeLorean some time ago. Again as you state, where is the knowledge and experience to win and deliver these massive new-build contracts that so many on this board believe are imminent?
I still maintain that IslandMagee will be the life or death of INFA; if it is to be death, then the acquisitions have merely delayed the process and enabled some additional cunning troughing.
Like you, I invested some time ago, on the basis of the potential of the gas storage caverns, as did all the other long-term shareholders here. No-one at that time invested in the expectation that INFA would be promising to build ships...

dawski37,
As another who is somewhat "in the know", you are making pessimistic noises about IslandMagee - say it ain't so!

Nobby31,
I am inclined to agree that H&W will be thrown something, though as you state, there is no way that the company is capable of assuming the role of lead contractor, given current and past experiences and capabilities (hence my earlier post). The question is how big a bone will we be thrown? It is for this reason that I have remained resolutely unimpressed with the acquisitions of defunct shipyards and maintain my stance that Islandmagee is crucial for the ongoing survival of INFA.

Bubble2021,
Care to expand?

Can anyone confirm the level of capability and experience of any senior members of H&W/Infrastrata when it comes to new build vessels please?

MaryBr190,
What is it that leads you to state that the granting of the marine licence is unlikely?
If you are correct, I would surmise that INFA is dead.

He certainly likes to "move forward", doesn't he?!

Let's hope he can "move forward" the share price...

stokey12,
I should have added "...another year of operating as it is currently" - ie without substantive contracts and (pray!) the granting of the marine licence for Islandmagee.

Speedy_Gonzalez,
Whatever happened to your call for civility?

INFA simply doesn't have another year. They might get away with one more dilution but, after the scandalous bonuses, I can't see shareholders tolerating any more. The company is already in hock to the leg-breakers for debt financing, so nowhere to go there either.
I would suggest Amigo, but I doubt that JW has any friends left after his recent troughing...

Also, I know how to spell "licence"...

How convenient.
