Ozzy,
I am really not sure the point of you being here, other than to troll the people who you consider to be trolls.
Your ongoing commentary of every other post is utterly pointless.

Mirasol,
That was all hype though and expectation of Brockham being a big success which everyone was led to believe it was going to be, as you well know.
Much like the UKOG 11p high that everyone talks about when it suits them.

A lot of AIM companies are seriously over-rated based on little to nothing when they become the next big thing.
ANGS (and UKOG) are in very different phases of their growth now, and both need to deliver results for investors to see SP returns.
Comparing ANGS of today vs 2 yeas ago is like comparing 2 different companies, as that is what they essentially are now.

Oh, and as always, comparing the SP of 2 years ago, by ignoring the equivalent mcap is just disingenuous, as you will also know.
The 11p high of ukog past is the equivalent of much less than 2p now, just as the 12p of ANGS 2019 will be lower now.
If SF is a success, the SP will reflect a tangible, and truer valuation of the companys' worth based on a producing asset

Klunk,
The 4-Country exemptions you note refer to non-UK issuers, not holders.
All holders in AFC as a UK issuer, would need to TR1

Camkite,
I also agree that the geo-thermal project is interesting and could become another catalyst for growth here.
My intention has always been to sell out on SF project completion, but this latest tid-bit may just cause me to leave some shares invested. Depends on the proposal, but GL has suggested (IQ on 16/12) that we could expect news during Q1, so likely before SF is producing.
I would not be surprised to see another TR1 for an increased position from Forest, I can see the underlying client going as high as 10%, as I think another poster has suggested.
Hope this can hold these gains today, and stay above a 1p mid price. Time for the SP to sit in a new range now

I am not really sure there are any 'pondlife' attacking this share at all, if this is a reference to posts on here?
Some posts in recent days have called out (correctly, imo) some clearly false comments made by some posters on some particular points, but nothing more, imo.
Some are perhaps more blunt in their posts than others when tackling, or responding to such comments, but it goes both ways.
This is just a news lull while we wait for news and an SP drop often puts people on edge, and on the defensive.

Thanks for this scoop.
Just placed out a cheeky limit buy at 2.5 (Ask showing as 2.52).
Wasn't it expecting to dip so low today.

Watching2,
From memory, that is the 3rd reference you have made to shorters today.
Please can you provide some evidence that this is being shorted, or any broker willing to allow a PI to open a short position.
Genuinely interesrted, particularly as no one has ever come up with some evidence of this in the past when requested.
Every day is a learning day, so keen to see how any PI could be shorting this.
Tks in advance

Personally, I am hoping that the funding news (due, we are told by end Jan), would see this get back closer to 1.50p, much like the SF CPR did back in March last year before the big 'covid' drop.
Too many recent days of up a bit, down a bit, hold a bit, it would be good to have some excitement here and see this trading in a new (higehr) range.
gla

Personally, I would not get too hung up on this.
Executed trades can be reported late for various reasons, and the buy/sell indicator shown for trades by all sites is shown on a best efforts basis anyway (the actual trade direction is never disclosed to the market), so these figures may well be inaccurate too.
They are useful as a guide as to what is happening throughout he day, but should not be taken as gospel as there is no guarantee as to the accuracy of the reported information.

Those with L2 access may see more on this front and have a better picture of the actual/live trading activity, and be able to comment further.

Lots of '1 code' trades yesterday for the 1 code cult to get excited about, but yet again (surprise), no RNS.
Still, the believers will still claim any time there is an RNS (coincidence), that this myth really is a thing, but when there is no RNS, it is just as reliable an indicator as anything else.

This is fast becoming the most entertaining thread of the year to date.
Keen to see just how long this one can keep going
:-)

For me, AFC will be of more interest to small cap funds and 'green'funds, where eligibility will be different to the larger funds.
II funds will often 'mirror' an in-house fund too, so if a Fund Manager is buying for their fund, they will buy in the II accounts too, subject to any specific restrictions.
I feel that a 100 mcap will have had AFC on a firms' radar to watch, and some funds will allow even smaller companies but only to a certain size holding within their portfolio.
II's seem to fall into 2 categories, either having bespoke portfolio permissions which are often very restrictive (and hard to manage), or are pretty much a basic 'follow fund X' approach. Many II's will have low risk apetites, so AIM holdings may not be permitted. MCAP (for me) is often less of a concern to them than sector or country limits. Minimum turnover is often a more specific requirement as many tend not to like illiquid shares.
Certainly agree on the trading strategy for investment, mostly vwap trades to help keep a 'normal' market.
Whatever the criteria, it would certainly be good to see another TR1, or two here

Good to see the rise continuing today.
I had been expecting a dip as we started the new year, perhaps only back to circa 2.5p before any Wood Group news, but still looking very strong on volumes.
The news today perhaps more positive for the market than I thought - I have never been a fan of Riverfort tbh, as I have seen them many times elsewhere causing a lot of dilution.
Still only at 2/3 of my preferred target weight here, but would rather stick at my current average for now to see if this settles in a new range. Happy with my holding and current gains regardless of any potential additions.

DerSack.
Sayings from other countries and translated are great and they are often pretty close despite the literal translation.
In the UK, We say 'Don't look a gift horse in the mouth'.

Good posts Haggis.
It is so tiresome to read any new EV car review, and there is always 1 'clever' person who says " But how far will it go in winter with the lights and heater on, and the winscreen wipers going?"
It is such a small-minded (and childish) comment to make.
Not every car is suitable for every persons' needs, otherwise all cars would be exactly the same.
The whole point of having choice is just that, there are (currently) different choices for different needs and many will not need to drive more than 50 miles on any one journey on a regular basis.
Those that do can make their car choice accordingly.
It is the infrastructure and cost of purchase that will hold many back from buying EV, together with concerns about battery life, not range imo.
I only tend to drive roughly 7-8k miles a year, but that will include 4 trips of roughly 600 miles each, and perhaps the same number at around 75 miles each, but everything else is a 5-mile to 25-mile round trip. On those longer trips, I alwys make either a long 1 hour stop for food and to fill up, or 2 shorter 15 to 20 minute stops (in addition to a longer break at the eurotunnel terminal which can be over an hour with the crossing itself).

All true, david, but as I said, it would take a concerted and deliberate effort to short this on a basis that would have any real impact without having to disclose.
People may run mutliple funds to try and hide any action, but they still have to get past kyc and money laundering regs to set the accounts up in the first place, and I suspect that most client agreements will not permit shorts to be taken without prior approval with the custodian/account provider.
Again, the 'shorts closing' type posts are mostly made by people who either don't understand shorting, or have an ulterior motive for posting about them (e.g. traders/rampers).
Just my view.
There are always ways around these types of rules if people are determined to break them, but I still sttrongly suspect it is not as widespread on AIM as many suggest it to be.

There always seems to be a lot of talk about 'shorts' on AIM stocks once they are in the spotlight, but very little actual evidence of any shorts being taken out, e.g. FCA register (albeit a 1% reporting threshold), a tradeable instrument that allows a short, or a broker that will accept a short position.
In all the time I have been on these boards, I have only known one AIM stock I have invested in to be on the FCA short register. That was around 2017, and yet for the last 3 years posters regularly post about shorts getting burned and shorts closing.
It seems to have become some kind of BB myth that many posters comment on without really understanding what it actually is, or how it can be done.
Everyone seems to reference an article from circa 2011 about a shorting scandal on AIM to 'prove; it is rife (this was posted only yesterday on another board).
Really not convinced, but happy for someone to provide recent and factual evidence.
I know it would be possible with a concerted effor from a group of investors intent on doing this, as it does happen on bigger shares as we often see reported, but despite what you think of the FCA as a regulator, I would suggest recent regulation makes this highly unlikely on an AIM stock.

With Peel being the 'clustrer lead' for NW England and NE Wales, could this be an indication of where the additional proposed sites may be under consideration for?

Not directly applicable to ANGS, but this announcement, of which the Humber will be one of the beneficiaries, is on the doorstep of SF, and the National Grid is one of the partners in the Humber CC project.
The decision to effectively 'futureproof' the pipeline with the SoluForce thermoplastic pipe must have been made in conjunction with National Grid, and it will be interesting to hear more about any ANGS involvement in due course.
ANGS could be an econimic beneficiary by virtue of their location to this CC project, and the hydrogen economy has been gathering a lot of media attention and government support in recent months.
SF could prove to be a great strategic decision in more ways then one.

It seems I was saying this for most of Q4 too, but Q1 should throw up a decent amount of news

Typical.
