I keep on buying

"I get the impression they would be rather rid of the SIMEC shareholding!"

what do you mean by this? I understand it like this: "It seemed they (Graham Reid among others?) want to sell their shares of SAE."

Insider selling isn´t possitive I guess?

Pardon? Getting rid of their own shares?

*GBP

Furthermore: most investors (like me) credit smallest sums. Only one, or very few bigger"" investors. The median (if I omit the 10k man) expenditure is less than 800GPB (though it would be less). Must be way below. The additions I was noting were +- 100 GPB. Microtransactions or not, with no mainstream fame, poor coverage, its´ not too easy to collect bigger sums.

Publicity seems pathetic. I keep spreading Proteus links in (energy)stocks I´m invested in, or my social media accounts aso to make it wider known. Although I tell friends and comrades that this investment exists. It feels like only us bunch of "nerds" know about this enterprise. Feeling a bit lost.

What "bothers" me is: I initially bought SAE, because I thought it was Proteus. So ... my shares in SAE feel kind of weird, because they feel like an adoptee. Can't describe it better in english, sorry.

I feel a little bit short-changed. *shrug*

Those SAE - shares should be Proteus and the other way round.

Any thoughts on what you plan to do?

Take money, or take shares? These are the two options I think we have, if understanding it right.

For me it was a reasoned, well spoken, informational webinar with trustworthy insights which gave me a feeling, or to me more precise, convinced me of the integrity of their work. Drew Blaxland seems a passionate but realistic expert with a profund background. He explained polite and detailed and gave interesting insights, answered all questions.He talked about the genesis of techology up to the point on the brink of commercialisation were they are standing now. The problems and the solutions which led to cost efficency and general increase of performance. Talked about the modularity of the AR - Systems which are no out of the box appliances but adjusted to specific needs and environmental modalities and challenges. I just gave them another shot in the arm. ^^

I'll participate, too

This company is way tinier than I wished. In my mind it builds one, or at least half a turbine a year. Certanly not. They "sold" us news, deploying an AR1100 in Japan in january this year. But this, correct me if I'm wrong, was "just" the modified AR500 they dumped in 2021 headed by SAE.

So... somehow the modded AR500 now being a 1100 by the pitch and yaw, overdoubling the output is quite remarkable, but man, this takes aeons.

Modding something (in my perception) is easier and quicker to be done than completely rebuilding something. So ... three years for the mod. How long would it take building a new turbine? Five? Six?

I, personally, came to the conclusion that my personal thinking, my picture of this company is way more idealistic and sophisticated than reality.

Yes it´s noteworthy and honourable that Proteus says: "we need natural growth with a healthy and consistent team which guaranties perfection and highest quality."

But man, those mills grind slowly ...

Found the article I was often referring to when I criticized Meygens' progress. Aspiration and reality. This article is from 2014 and it says they want three turbines until 2016 @Meygen. NOW IT'S 2024. Stagnation^2. They were talking about 269 turbines. Totally insanse that we have achieved (N)ONE in 10 years.

[...]The order awarded to ANDRITZ HYDRO Hammerfest is the world's first commercial order for the supply of tidal current turbines and part of the first phase of the project to fully expand MeyGen's tidal park, which is considered the world's largest tidal turbine park development project. In the long term, MeyGen plans to implement a total of 269 turbines with a total output of 398 megawatts, which will supply 175,000 Scottish households with predictable, renewable and sustainable electrical energy.[...]

Just found out that a user calling himself SiCy asked the same questions on the crowdcube discussion board

Furthermore: Splitting companies, or disaffliliating parts of it (SAE to Proteus) is like smoke and mirrors. I'm rather confused what I'm invested in now. SAE used to plan, develop, build, install, run, maintain everything concerning tidal energy. So far, so good. Then proteus split off, because of ... "reasons", and SAE remained as a hull, or something like Oersted waiting for here and then turbines from Andritz (who actually dont just talk but put out turbines). So SAE, where I came investing for turbines and "all the tidal stuff" seems now ... somehow impalpable. Oh okay they put plastics into pellets to burn in an old coal plant and they do negociate and reel in new, potential capacities for Meygen, and build an energy storage site. So I'm SAE - wise invested in a huge area (lets call it theme park) with only three attractions and a potential fourth which is maintenanced atm. Proteus... all the (more thrilling) engeneering part about the watermills aso, now "plans" too. Which leaves me puzzled, because I thought proteus was all about hardware and SAE (still a brother, oder father / family) was about planing and stuff. I'm not too deep into this as some of you, and I know some of you will attack me because of my overdone "way of expressing myself and my thoughts dilemma", but it's really confusing me. Whats the role of proteus and who are SAE? Are there any overlaps or are we opponents now? Do we work together? Has SAE orderd any turbines and are they currently being built by Andritz or Proteus?

Don´t want to mess up the party but my experience taught me, that "tiny, yet ambitious "garages"" tend to agglomerate colaborations, or bloat up their boards with members to "administer" things that aren't there. Nice and always up to date website, designwise. How many microcap bios colaborate with universities, announce boardmembers, polish their public image but yet theres no substance, only a huge bow wave of dreams, plans, promisses and milestones. Yes CAN be cool and positive, that they cooperate with alaska, while they can´t handle their own stuff and put out any turbine. So ... don´t want to be to critic, but these kind of news CAN be castles in the air. One less web-designer, one less attractive marketing manager, less "HEADS" of something just for being "HEAD" of somthing, but more pure workers and eager engeneers bustling 24/7 not posting each and every coffee to attract publicity. Deliver something. Proteus seems to be nothing but board members.

Okay, I backed them. I used this occasion to get a credit card so I can pay on this site. Two days I hesitated, bought further shares. Finally I didnt it. Could not resist my temptation.

Did anyone of this board fund proteus?

But bought further shares because of lower spread. Bought at 1.84.

What happens if I invested into proteus and the fund rainsing fails?

And which shares will I eventually receive?

every ****ty gadget is getting more attention and founds. we are without any alternative for the sake of out planet and no one cares -.-

This shows how irrelevant or let´s they unknown we are just reaching a pathetic number of not even 200 investors. So this stock SAE can't be more popular either. This explains why just a bunch of us knows and owns this company. It's a shame and a pitty simultanously
