Thanks, Reckoner.
Was about to post similar.
FCA Handbook under 'DTR 5' shows the reporting requirements and exceptions, but as with most things 'FCA related' things are often ambiguous and open to interpretation.
There are different rles for non-UK issuers with a UK listing, and I believe exemptions for U.S, Israel and Japan (from memory) incorporated companies, as they are considered to have similar 'robust' reporting requirements under their own regulators.
Note: it will most likely be the custodian of the relevant share owner who will monotor the position and make the notification rather than the shareholder themselves, so this should mean the rules are adhered to as it should be a UK custodian doing the monitoring, even for a foreign holder, although, again, many do seem to be less 'on the ball' in this regard, shall we say?

a.i,
What a pathetic post.
Filtered

Rock,
Perhaps do some research into Trade reporting under MiFID II.
There is ZERO manipulation regarding the buy/sell indicator on reported trades as the diretion of a trade is NEVER released to the market at the point of execution and there is no obligation to do so.
Sites like this literally guess the direction based on the trade price at the time of execution vs bid/ask.
Annoying to see, yes, but there is no conspiracy or manipuation.

Not saying they should support other chat sites, it was more a reflection that they seem happy to let some posters repeatedly disrupt some boards which leads to decent posters leaving, and seeking these alternatives.
They themselves are the casue of these alternatives becoming more popular by their own failure to adequately censor the 'bad apples' on their own site.
Anyway, enough off-topic now.
Back to SEE...

Yes it is sad.
They seem happy to allow known disrupters on some boards to continue making 20 or 30 posts of the same thing every day and being behind circa 50% plus posts on certain boards due to constant replies, bickering, abuse, etc which causes decent chat, relevant links and informative posts getting squeezed out, but the first mention of an alternative chat site, or links to certain bloggers and everything gets censored.
Some BB's have become totally unusable due to the continued and blatant disruption, but they seem ok wth that.
Sad to see some boards go this way as it often means useful contributers and genuine investors get fed up and leave and any 'newbies' get put off too.

Surely an RNS on a cancer drug delivery would be a good (great!) thing?

Many here seem to be invested for that reason, covid just happening to be an opportunity (sadly) that could also be very profitable, albeit not being delivered in a timeframe suited to the majority.

haggis,
There are multitudes of reason why people may buy, sell or hold a stock, as Robtheman says.
Why does someone selling have to be because 'they must need the money desperately'?

Surely, everyone should have there own investment strategy and do whatever is best for them?
I stated only a week or so ago that I was holding for the long-term and had no intention of selling. I still don't, but in the last few days, as the SP has risen, AFC is now getting close to my self-imposed limit of not holding more than 20% in any one stock, due to the performance of shares elsewhere not keeping up.
If that happens (currently at circa 46p), I will take some profits.
My investment, my decision. And nothing to do with being 'desperate for the money', or being a day trader, or a fool as you would like to suggest (although the last one is open to debate) :-)

A Fund Manger will buy (or sell) within certain restrictions of their portfolio. If they are only allowed to hold 5% in any one company and it exceeds that by a certain threshold for a particular length of time, they will be forced sell. They may well be 'mad for selling', but they will be doing it for prudent portfolio management, and to protect the fund and their investors according to its imposed risk requirements.

People should remember that everyone is not the same.
I too intend to hold for all the news coming here and for the long term, I agree that the risk is low at this point. I have never day-traded, but I will manage my position as best suits my requirements. If that makes me a fool, then so be it.
Good luck to you and all other holders.

You would be surprised, SF.
I know of a few FTSE listed firms who 'forgot' to renew standard authorisations with overseas regulators and were almost prevented from carrying out business as a result that owuld have cost them millions.
It is surprising how simple paperwork can be forgotten, even when there are reminders in place.

"I imagine there are lots of telephones ringing unanswered, and emails parked unread on servers this year".
Sadly, this seems all too common with AIM companies regardless. They may get a lot of silly calls/emails, but the general opinion seems to be that most almost never answer their phones, or even acknowledge emails.
Quite often, it is only the overwhelmingly positive posters who have ever somehow managed to speak to any AIM company management, and they always report that everything is ok

It does make you wonder.
How far is the average 'ministerial car' journey?
They must do many trips of no more than a handful of miles on a regular basis.

Leading by example and ordering a fleet of ministerial vehicles would send a message show that they are not all talk in Government, and serious on this 'green revolution'.
Security aspects aside, what realistic reason could they have not to do this (and any car could surely be adapted for security purposes, especially at the tax payers' expense)?

Just imagine an AFC charger positioned inside the gates of Downing St

I would have though Ineos would perhaps be a more sensible option if you are to consider someone with 'loose change', or would they perhaps be considere more of a potential competitor now?

Good post, Southernhay.
It would be a good promotional act to build on EE with some promotional ideas like placing remote charging stations in the likes of Lands End and John O Groats, with similar remote stations 'en route' in places like the Cairngorms, Lake District, Dartmoor, etc, with perhaps an EV challenge to show how a journey like this could be undertaken quickly and via remote and scenic locations where a lot of people would not expect to be within many miles of a charging station.
It could help change a lot of people's sceptical perceptions around EV and charging as well as being a good advert for the tech and its various uses.

It may be true that Aleph have every incentive to get it in place, but the fact remains that it isn't in place yet.
It may be a small point, and it may go though without problem, or any significant change to the terms, but the SP did not react to this 'holding' news and is reflecting the current situation re: financing until such time as this arrangement is confirmed.

Frustrating (much like the Balcombe planning decision, still pending), but it is another step (albeit a cautious one) further down the line for SF.

I would say that the 30/11 AGM results RNS mentioning that the AGM presentation is available on the website is sufficient notification to the market without a separate RNS.
A trading statement (annual, half-year) would be different, but we already had one (for the period ending June) on 02/11.

Is all the chat on twitter?
Wasn't going to after the placing debacle (again), and feeling let down by the whole business, but have increased my position here today in readiness for news.
Still down, but average now below 0.19

My investment here is for the long term and whilst I don't have an exit strategy, I am conscious that the increasing SP is taking my holding close to my self-imposed 'max 20% in any one share' rule.
I am hoping that my other holdings will keep pace with the rise we have been seeing here, but I may be faced with a difficult decision as to whether to take some profits.
At present, this would be at around the 45p level.
I guess that it's a nice problem to have though.

When Turkey was first announced, the faithful on here were predicting oil being produced in December, and in large quantities too.
I get delays occur, and factors are often out of the company's hands, but it is a common theme for ukog.
Last material Turkey news update was almost 7 weeks ago.

Is there anything concrete, newswise expected prior to drilling in Turkey which is due to start "as soon as practicable in early 2021"?

Something new for everyone to pick the bones out of.
Should be an interesting day ahead
gla

junior,
Agree.
Even without company specific news, the sector is gaining investor interest through media exposure and governemnt investment/policy.
Can see this continue to rise to a new range on no news.
Not been here long compared to may posters, but the SP consolidating not only out of the teens, but out of the 20's too, and with plenty more scope for upside in the coming weeks/months bodes well.
Not one for SP predictions, but positive this will continue to deliver both on SP and sales as we progress through 2021.
gla

I get the disappointment here, but some posters seem to have lost touch with reality with some of their comments

The only winners today are Tymers and TH2 who will have both been topping up at these latest bargain prices.
Regular top-ups for well over a year now on this "soon to be mid-cap oile"r (both trading whilst telling everyone else its a Buy).
Would like to see an SS interview after today, will he show his face in public on the back of this latest set-back?
