Let's hope the new design is more successful - I suggested this a very eco/finanacially savvy friend last year who decided that the unit was cumbersome and the ROI didn't justify the expense - they were already a low user of electricity so did not see where this would fit in. A smaller footprint and a lower unit price would help shift product!
Thanks Horace - get it. I am staying for the journey anyway, only have a small interest in this - made my money at the surge before last. Come on BCB!!
What was the jist of the ADVFN comments, Horace? I do not want to get on their mailing list again...
Yes! I thought it would be pushing £5 in the run up to the special div. I suppose people took the profit when they could - not sure why it was such a massive drop yesterday though?
Some lucky blighters might have got in at 32p and 70p, and just be wishing they had piled in a bit deeper, but to mention that now would just be not on...
Will there not be a load of people who adopt the 'buy on the 1st, sell on the third' - in which case the run on the share price on the 3rd might negate any bonus. I am thinking of either staying longer - or selling on the 1st when everyone piles in. Also - this is marketing, surely? Getting the share noticed and talked about to attract big investors - for what I don't know, but there must be a reason, other wise they could have just been more generous with the dividend for the next few years rather than give out a lump sum now?
Nope - I left in the summer, would not be surprised if bits were sold off - they seemed to be making certain parts automonous and unreliant on shared services.
Cheryl Jones 'steps down' as a director - new chairman is Andrew Wilson, check the RNS. Not sure why it's not listed here? Probably explains the price tumble.
Just click on the VPHA RNS icon in the main window above and you will see all the AGM Statements etc.
Yahoo showing .95 - but does not make sense with the Bid and Ask - that would indicate .81 : Prev Close: 0.81 Open: 0.95 Bid: 0.77 Ask: 0.85
Got me excited as well! - Checked the Stock Exchange website and they are showing no activity and no price fluctuations - Yahoo having a blip?
I have never seen him, not even seen Cheryl Jones, they both work out of separate offices in London - Lord A nothing to do with day to day - I assume he feeds in his thoughts/ethos through the directors.
Seems fairly settled - continuing in cutting any fat - or any sign of it!
Thanks Horace, I sort of guessed as much. I am not sure my holding warrants the required patience!
Anyone got a view on how long/whether to hang on to the WIHL shares?
Excellent piece in Sunday Times Business/Environment section - a third of a page dedicated to Vphase!
I am following them on Twitter - I suppose it is Marketing albeit fairly limited, they have 1,135 followers.
I agree - I sent a slightly snotty email to Rick Smith a while back, pointing out that 'Cut Energy Bills' was trending on Yahoo but when you clicked on it, they weren't one of services/products that were returned even though most of the results didn't offer the same efficiency potential. Didn't hear anything back, by the way. They need to raise their profile, get some decent marketing going - this is the time to be shouting so that the right ears hear the message. Come on Vphase - sort it out!!
Can someone explain what happens now? From what I understand, holders of the old stock, retain the same number of shares in BCB, but (qualifying shareholders) are given a similar number in the new company Waterloo Investment Holdings Ltd - these shares are not on an exchange, so can be bartered for other stocks. Does this mean that all holders of this stock will get the new issue shares in WIHL, and is it best to hang onto them and wait until they do get put on an exchange, or to barter them for an alternative, trade-able stock now?
