Member Info for DerSack

Without talking for a long time: I need your help... I identified your share-karma as linear to the amount invested, and therefore ask you kindly to invest another 20k, because I would like to have another 1.5 million shares before things really get going which I can't afford at current prices.

Welcome on board, ClimbingWooster. :-)

MPO818, just take a look e.g. here:
https://www.wallstreet-online.de/diskussion/1182393-3281-3290/afc-energy-plc
At 8:26 (7:26 your time), the sp was €0.410 (36.9p)
At 8:54 (7:54 your time), the ps was €0.449 (40.5p)
At 9:10 (8:10 your time, London open, probably still auction), the sp was €0.494 (44.5p)
Feel free to add alternative facts as soon as you find them.

Agusta, OT, but because I saw that you are reading and writing here right now:

I got "my" GlenLivet out of the closet. 18yo, bottled in 2010. Not the class of the 1946. But tasty. I sat on the terrace tonight and had a drink with my neighbor while our kids ran through the garden with little flashing lights like fireflies.

I have found more whiskys that were previously kept mainly for guests because high percentage drinks are not what you drink, if you have a handful of dwarves running around. Today I sat at a small sip in a large glass for a really long time. It was more of a stimulant than a drink. I will try the others in the next few days. Evenings are still long :-)

It's not easy to say without standing there as an evil (de)ramper or trader. Hope, nobody hates me after some trueth. But the connections are pretty straightforward:

Germans are not complete ldiots. London closed with a clearly falling edge. German investors are actually very optimistic, but if the price goes down steeply in the last half an hour, then nobody will add a few euros here either.

There is also the time advantage: If an RNS drops after five or at seven o'clock in the morning, we are one evening or at least one hour ahead before the market reacts in London. So why sink money in the evening on no news when you can be sure that London will correct the sp in case of new news at 8 o'clock, anyway?

As a PI at Tradegate, you have a an additinal trading advantage through the extended times at Tradegate:

For example, when the placing RNS came after the London stock market closed, there was plenty of time to sell in the evening and to buy back at a much lower price next day in the afternoon. Most professional Traders have a lot of stocks to watch and are not that deep into some specific position, so this was not even a hurry that day.

Same when the ABB RNS came: Tradegate had an hour before London. And to be serious: I went knee-deep into any instantly possible loan that day and even emptied my three children's savings accounts in order to buy them as many AFC shares as possible... long before the first professional trader recognised or understood the RNS. Now each of the has 8k shares, which is now quite a fortune for children of two, four and six years age :-)

Thanks, Rendi. Of course it will be a tough ride. And the ride seems to have started already. I didn't expect the current dip down, e.g. because most other green tech stocks gained moemntum from the US Senate election.

Anyway: Time and scenario fit together (product, customer, patent, green tech, new US President). The market capitalization is not too big, yet. I will just sit and wait :-)

Plug + 17%, Fuecell Energy + 11%.
I hope, this triggers some kind of sector momentum even for non US shares. AFC just reached 86ct.

Fair that you mentioned that you are not in and that you let us know when you are in (As you mentioned yesterday: "Ill let you know when im in.").
But as long as you are not in, could you please stop talking about "us" and "we"? You are not part of it, yet.

Hey Ogggs, don't say so. If I really could, I would buy 46 shares to close green today :-)

... and instant prices and an up to date list of trades ...

If i see e.g. a BID of 0,827 for 15,000 shares (like now) and I wish to sell 15k at this price, I make an online "sell" order at my bank with a corresponding limit, From then it takes something like 5-10 seconds until I have sold and the trade appears in the trades list.

Good evening, dear bb,

I am the new one. I had watched AEG for a while and actually wanted to get in right after the patent RNS, but at that time my other larger investments had just risen sharply (AFC and EQT), so I didn't want to withdraw any money.

I am very confident and I am glad that the sp went down a bit so I didn't have to buy all the stocks at the peak. My original plan was to buy one per mille instantly, but the more the price fell, the harder it became to buy. Finally, it took me three days and I had to split my order twice into a total of ten smaller orders in order to even be served.

Just for a smile: With my first order I was not only _at_ the peak, ... I was the peak and I still am. Hope, it won't last for ages :-)

I am now in as descibed above at an average price of 1,571p. Seeing 1.20 a few hours after the last trade was not what I wanted to see, but it didn't scare me. Time will tell. I look forward to the summer.

Anyone can trade at tradegate, pi and ii, no matter. But tradegate ich mainly automated, no MMs playing games. Nobody manipulating prices to fill II ordes and as far as I know, no own stock. All is just p2p. But if you wish to buy a million shares, tradegate would not be the right place, because nobody would collect half a day to fill your order. Maybe that is, why people say, Tradegate is pi only.

For some shares, people "play" Marketmakers, which means: They have a certain amount of money and a certain number of shares and offer an ask price and a bid price with their own spread. As soon as someone tries to buy or sell somewhere inbetween, they tighten their spread to get him out. And if he gets much closer to their limits, they buy the shares or sell to him and open thier spread directly after.

A single trade at Tradegate up to 10,000 euros costs me a flat rate of 10 euros. At 10,000 euros it costs me a flat rate of 25 euros.

Good idea. I scaled to 4x 150k instead. Worked well, one order at 0.0159, three orders at 0.016. Thank you :-)

Think you were lucky :-)

I ordered 500k shares @ 1.61 half an hour ago when the sp was 1.45-1.55 and until now I haven't received a single share.

You're right, Haggis. Somehow I lost sight of the fact that it could also go the other way.

For me, my confidence has given way to euphoria.

At the moment, AFC feels like I've had a tough journey and have now passed the wheel to the autopilot. Hoping for a soft and warm landing :-)

I still remember the times when the internet was billed by the hour via analog modem and we played Diablo for nights or later Starcraft because it was too expensive during the day.
When I fell asleep in the morning, I (and not only I) often had the automap in front of my eyes.

Something similar is currently happening with Tradegate and the LSE site. In the evening, when I go to bed, I take a quick look at how "my babies" are doing. Then I go to sleep and close my eyes and sometimes the charts are still there.

The biggest shock in the morning is when my browser window is shifted for some reason or is smaller than usual and the red dot for the new messages at LSE appears where the RNS button actually belongs. Brrrrr ....

Or just: Alkaline FuelCellionaires?

Agusta: "Alkaline Fictillioneers"?

I love to play with words and unfortunately some things that go on in my head are not easy to translate. Especially when it comes to emotions.

As this is a UK forum I keep things in English as much as possible, but on some really rare occasions things have to get out of my head for which I can't find a matching sentence in English. Then I write it and try to explain.

I said goodbye to the German-speaking forums. Too many people turn up there just to show off. Some seem like they have the money better put in Ritalin than in stocks. And many do not even know why they are there at all. Questions like "I've invested 1k here. What are they actually doing?". There are some positive users out there too, some also posting here. But the blah outweighs it. I am sure, some who got enough of the german board style found their "asylum" here :-)

AFiCionado: Since you asked about the name:
"Sack" was my surname. I gave it up for the sake of my wife and my children because of its ambiguity :-)

Don't screw it guys. I have a statistical remaining life expectancy of around 30 years and (despite having children) I don't have an emergency plan for so much money.

My personal instant retirement plan was 27p before the fundraise. It is 35p now. I will not insert my prediction, but my hope :-)

Starting price 2.59p.
Just for a bit of fun - please DYOR before investing.
