Hi,
Been away from this share since selling out a long time back (feb/mar).
As you're asking for opinions :-)........
As I stated some time back, this company is an absolute bogus sham.
1) The Coalswitch plant has 'never' actually worked properly, even before being relocated. It has never been able to run even at quarter never mind half capacity. The few samples that were generated were sent for so-called testing yet there has been no "REAL" scientific evidence that proves this plant is capable of working full time.
2) The relocation was an utter shambles. It took more than double the time to relocate. Even worse, they could not reconstruct it efficiently or make the modifications (aka improvements?) in time such as the skirting etc.
3) The So-called Lumber permits and partnership for buidling an additional plant etc is also a bit of a sham, with all involved lining their pockets. They are ALL without fail, directors etc of the underlying 'Parent' company - as well as directors of subsidiory/sistercompanies, and are all sucking out salaries (sometimes multiple salaries), bonuses etc. In the meantime, EVERY SINGLE episode they go through (aka relocation, permits, improvements, partnerships etc) are all designed to fool the PIs into belieivng there is a marketable and 'Potentially' working plant system here.
4) I'm an engineer with over 30 years experience. I've been involved in developing, installing, testing, commissioning systems as wel as test rigs and I said it some time back, and will repeat it again; ----- This company is ABSOLUTELY INCOMPETENT!!! They couldn't build a Wendy House out of LEGO Bricks.
5) The fact is that both new and old Chairmans are working this company so well that they are continuously sucking money out of investors year after year. IF - and that is a BIG IF - they somehow stumble into getting a working plant, the fact is that there are other Woodchip companies out there that have faired better and will do better. Even worse is that there are now Biomass Convertors that do a far more efficient job than Active Energy's product could ever do.
So my advise is DON'T listen to this companies representatives and DON'T listen to the 'Evangelists' on this Chat system. THe fact is that this comoany SHOULD and COULD of built this plant 10 times over with the funds thtey have had and the sheer length of time.
It is an utter money pit and this company, including ALL of its sister/parent companies. is purely set up to syphon money away. Think about it - some time back I queried 'WHY' does AEG have to be part of such a large number of 'sister' or 'satellite' companies? It's because thats PRECISELY how the directors move money about. One company pays another fees for services etc, each person is a DIrectotr/Advisor etc to more than one company and hence receives salaries, bonuses, shares etc from each one.
Yes, it's true that you could of made money IF you could follow the blatant SP manipulation - but n
