Cracking rise already today.
Was expecting 200p to go at some point.
Agree, the U.S. oen this pm will be interesting.
WIll look to place a limit sell on sonewherein the 220's to take some profits (too slow at the open), but will leave the majority invested for the long term

Daz,
DB would not have taken part in the fundraise, he would have to make a declaration via an RNS for any Director holding/transaction.
I am sure that via his personal compensation package he has/will be awarded shares at a greater discount, in any case.

I always thought a broken clock was right twice a day

I am sure the broker does actually exist, but it is still likely to be their own main broker, as not a lot of AIM companies receive a lot of external coverage.
A lot of sites seem to have moved broker reports behind a paywall/subscription service, which is a shame.
HL at least used to reflect the general concensus even if you could not see who the reports were from, and when, and the news coverge on here does not tend to extend to AIM stocks.

The main issue with Tymers' constant mantra of 'some look, some see' is that he himself seems to have had his eyes closed for well over a year now.
The closest he has ever been with one of his ever changing SP predictions in the past year (where the SP target keeps changing, despite the fundamentals always remaining the same), is to be out by a factor of 7x what the SP actually ended up at.
His SP target now with the added 'bonus' of Turkey is 5x lower than it was this time last year, but at least he may be a bit closer this time!
He will no doubt be selling out again on the next spike, whilst telling everyone else he is 'buying and adding at these bargain levels'.

PP,
My understanding is that even an order is being worked and can take days/weeks to complete, any threshold crossing notification is based on the actual holding at the end of any single trading day.
It may be that due to liquidity, more than one threshold may be crossed during that days' trading, in which case just the single notification needs to be made.
It is the clients' custodian that will be monitoring any reporting thresholds and will see anything flag up on the daily reports, and they will make any report to the regulator/issuer within the required timeframe, for the issuer then to issue the TR1.

That is my understanding of the required process, but with most things 'AIM' others seem to think different rules apply, or are simply ignored.
The buyer/seller themselves will not, imo, be the entity responsible for making the notifrication, but their custodian who will know the reporting requirements, and will have monitoring/reporting tools in place to ensure deadlines are met.

All the above does not explain the seeming lack of any TR1's though, which does seem to be a common theme across these boards!

I prefer my croissant plain, but warmed, and with a good coffee :-)

I have been here for almost 3 years now, and according to some posters, SS has supposedly not been able to buy for pretty much the entire time due to 'being in a closed period', and being in the possession of price sensitive information.

My understanding (taken from FCA Handbook/MAR) of what a closed period actually is:

A closed period relates specifically to the publication of either interim, or end of year results. It is a time period of 30 days prior to the announcement of these.
This means that any 'closed period' for any company is for an absolute maximum of 60 days per financial year (e.g. 2 x 30 days), and even then, there are exceptions to permit a Director to transact shares in the company during this timeframe.
So, there is a 10 month 'open window' every year that SS (or and Director) can Buy shares if they so wish.

Happy to be shown to be incorrect, but this seems to me to be another 'myth' that people perpetuate to defend any Director who does not Buy their own shares.

Some relevance with regard to governmental policy and post-covid spending plans.
As part of the French 100bn euro economy package announced today, some 30bn euros is to be allocated to more environmentally friendly energy, 2bn of which will go to the Hydrogen energy industry.
The article suggests that Rishi will be under presssure to announce similar measures for the UK

I too see this as a good contract, regardless of the terms.
My thinking is that the unti may be provided at cost, but with the ongoing trailing payments under the LTSA making some (albeit small) profits over the life of the project.
My understanding is that RR sell their engines at a loss and make money from the maintenance, so something similar, perhaps (ok, not a great example in the current climate).
Exposure and publicity of this contract, together with Extreme-E will boost the profile of AFC, and is hopefully the start of more contracts coming in.
Sometimes, it is not all about the immediate profit/payback, but what you can generate off the back of some initial collaborations. This is what needs to be built on now, imo
Missed my sub-20p top-up this week, but will look to add if any more dips.

Not sure if this has been posted previously

Not sure why someone keeps asking this question about the so-called action group tbh.
They have ansswered it enough times since Jan, so it is pretty pointless, if you ask me to keep bringing it up.
All it does is keep drawing attnetion to something historic and negative that is not worth anyone's time and effort, especially at a time when things are moving nicely on several fronts.
Folk on here should let this drop now, it belongs in the past, just like the fixation of some with the old management team and the equally pointless JT-P argument, both of which cannot and will not change, and which only get brought up for disriptive purposes.

Hi Lenin,
You would think it would be fairly easy to fix, but actually, it is not, as per Mirasols' comment.
There is actually no requirement to disclose to the market if a trade is a buy or a sell, it is just necessary to report it as a 'trade'.
There are many different trading systems from different providers, not just in the UK, but across Europe too, and all work differently, despite ultimately providing the same information.

If you want to find out more, what must be reported is detailed in the link below.
This is part of an EU directive (MiFID II) and applies to all European markets. Just implementing this requirement (plus many other changes) was the result of more than a 2 year project for all investment firms across Europe.
Trade Reporting relates to what firms must disclose to the markets (pretty much immediate disclosure, so places like LSE can make aavailable for free within a 15 minute timeframe, with some exceptions)
Transaction Reporting relates to what firms must disclose to the local regulator (T+1 disclosure, no exceptions).

No one is actually giving out false information, they are merely giving out the required information.
It is how sites like LSE interpret and try to represent the data that is the issue, nothing to do with MM's (the delayed reporting is another matter entirely). It (buy/sell indicator) is meant 'for information only', not as an accurate reflection of what is happening, and does seem to cause more confusion at time, than clarity.
Ironically, these new rules were brought in to be more transparent than what was in place before. This 'transparency' will most likely be with regard to investment firms, exchanges, brokers, regulators themselves, rater than the likes of us PI's and sites like LSE though.

You said it was going "sub 200p this week/next" back on 3rd August when the SP was at 215p, yet 2 weeks later the SP is currently more than 13% higher than the SP was back then, despite having dropped around 7% from the high on Monday in the run up to, and release of the interims yesterday, which the market seemingly, was more or less expecting, hence the lack of a major SP fall.
I think, like with all your previously repeated claims, I will ignore your continuing sub-200p prediction, which I note you are stating as being a given event, despite being repeatedly incorrect for months now.

In fact, on 17th March, you wrote "Buy in level around 100p in 1 months time - you will see".
Zero credibility here, as most posters are well aware. Back on filter.

From your earlier post, plenty of news flow in recent weeks, and based on this summary, we should expect to see some further confirmations of works completion in the next 10 trading days, or so.
Angus are quietly getting on with things, communicating well and startng to give investors reasons confidence in their investment here.
Rewards through a SP re-rate will hopefully follow in due course as operations progress throughout the remainder of H2 (imo).

Not seen that, but a couple of interesting articles about Northern Ireland to become a Hydrogen Hub, and use of hydrogen powerered vehicles in the mining industry. Certainly lots of interest and innovation happening and with the potential for multiple applications across many different sectors of industry. Governements certainly seem to be giving their backing to projects and investment too. Good signs

butd,
You have made several claims now that ocelot is 'employed by Angus' and that he 'manages the PR and social media'. Where is your evidence of this?
Ocelot makes very similar statements on the ukog board too on a regular basis, i.e. mostly even-handed comments or snippets taken from official sources to counteract false or misleading comments made by other posters.
Presumably, ocelot is also employed by ukog too if this is the criteria or 'proof' that you are using to making your (Supposedly factual) claim?

I could be wrong, of course, but for me, most genuine investors see SF as the main play here and where any real SP return is most likely.
Balcombe, as the company seem to admit, is a 'last roll of the dice'.
It could end up being very good, it could end up as little more than a small commercial asset generating some income to have been a worthwhile project to revisit, it could end up a disappointment.
The company have said they couldn't just walk away, so they see it as worth the time and expense to go back.
SF is the main focus and priority, and rightly so.
As stated previously, this is why I remain and where I see my exit point.
SP will have some peaks and troughs along the way, as always.

TH2,
A bit unfortunate to say that UJO are where UKOG was 3 years ago.
3 years ago, UKOG had just risen from circa 1p (15/06/17) to 7.4p (21/08/17) and was still to peak at close to 9p (closing SP 06/09/17).
You could argue that UJO still have this to come, and within a similar timeframe too.
I am invested in both and have been for well over 2 years.
Both have good chances of success (imo), with potentially very good assets, but over different timeframes. 2019 was supposed to be UKOG's year after all with the multi-well program.
Management and Communcation are like chalk and cheese, though.
