Oh your hilarious. I hope you don't rely on your detective skills to put food on your table or you'd be really hungry. My sincere regret that you can't take a bit of light-hearted ribbing about using a 3 letter acronym to ask what another 3 letter acronym (or TLA) was.

That's a big chunk considering barely that many traded all day. Yahoo has 1857801 in total. But on the bright side still closed up for the week by 1.22% over 5 days.

Final Investment Decision - it is when the Board actually commits to a project and authorises contract signing and release of funds to go-ahead with the project - after all the initial chats over the water-cooler, to meetings with finance to, planning sessions and scoping to cost/benefit analysis and so-on.

But the real question is what does WTF mean?

Spicy, I wasn't engaging with you, I was responding to Jeff. Nevertheless, I have previously advised you to research logical fallacies.

With thanks to JK Rowling "you see what you expect to see..."

Whataboutery (that is, what about LL) is a logical fallacy, whether or not LL posts repetitive and/or misleading posts does not justify you posting misleading information.

You compound that logical fallacy with inaccuracy, you fail to recognise that I have specifically rebutted LL when posts are misleading as when an incorrect RNS was posted after a director share transaction notification. Enthusiasm for one's investment is not ramping, there were plenty of "randoms" as I called them a few weeks ago with the spike/slump who were more accurately engaged is posting that could be described as ramping, that LL's activities would in my assessment make no difference.

While in general, LL posts are either repetitive (by re-posting information already public knowledge) or not ITM specific but more relevant to the sector, they are not generally misleading and don't appear to be intentionally so. You have twice, now, posted a misleading statement, the second time after it has been pointed out to you already after the first, that it is.

It is unclear to me and I imagine, most on this BB why you object so strongly to any information that might stimulate an increase in the value of the investment you hold, but that is your concern and of no interest to me.

@cureboy, yeah I read it too and thought the same - aren't those articles always a great indicator to do the opposite, though? In which case, good times ahead...

I know that Jeff, it was a tongue in cheek comment - I hoped the "but seriously" follow on might have indicated that.

@Jeff, well even I would like to be more in profit as opposed to just having covered the losses of earlier buy-ins and I did say that I wished the customers would stop being so shy...but seriously just report it as misinformation.

The share price closed last Friday at 72.6 and Monday 16th at 73.4p the RNS was 7am Tuesday 17th, even now after the slight retrace it is still up 3.5% so as was stated in the post that " ITM announce two new "large scale" projects and the SP drops 5 %" was deliberately false and misleading (it was up 6.26% at the time of posting)

"ooh you are awful...but I like you" - Dick Emery would be proud

I don't drink alcohol so just chilled fruit cordials or excessive amounts of caffeinated products

It is a quiet work day, I've been sat in the garden just enjoying the sunshine and have a little ditty to share with you all:

The Market Makers of ITM

They had 10,000 shares

They marched those shares to the top of the charts

And they marched them down again.

And when they were up they were up

And when they were down they were down

And when they were only halfway up, they were neither up nor down.

Thats what it feels like to me breakofdawn as well, I was just mulling over posting the very same thing, it feels like we are in a holding pattern waiting for "something". Over 300% up from the recent low of 25.08p off the back of all the positive announcements and despite some pretty serious macro-economy headwinds over the last few weeks, holding station very well at or around 80p.

CCS money should all go to Green Hydrogen - it is an absolute waste where it is allocated at the moment. Scrapping HS2 would save £100 Billion and give the scarred environment a chance to recover, although the ancient woodlands indiscriminately vandalised and destroyed will need several hundred years to even start to recover properly.

That £100 Billion could do an awful lot of good invested in electrolysers, renewable generation and hydrogen transport infrastructure.

Absolutely understand, and that is a great analogy for CCS. It is a nicotine patch - with just as little chance of a successful outcome. But we're still going to need some additional new oil to replace used oil until weaned off to alternatives - agree with Bilbo, individuals will always choose to dividend (material in their pocket) to altruistic survival (ephemeral, no immediate obvious benefit to any specific individual) - it will take political will to make the change and that is difficult when the civil servants have a revolving door to industry to top-up their gold plated pensions with sizable dividend payments.

We still need oil until we don't need it anymore @Satellite, even if every country began a shift today to building out the capacity for green hydrogen and committed trillions of dollars (or equivalent) to the act, we'd still need oil during the intervening period until all the infrastructure was built and suitable off-taking technology in place. The issue isn't investing in oil right now to keep things moving, it is in there not being sufficient investment in green hydrogen technology. But the sentiment is shifting, if a week is a long time in politics, imagine how things will look in 10 years.

@Roming

I will say the same as yesterday for this one:

I don't think so for this one. Chinese geopolitics with South Africa and the Belt and Road Initiative mean this is almost a shoo-in for them. Even if not, could be someone else.

Also I'd, like to think ITM can credit qualify their customers now and not be too dependant on SA as a client.

And add that even in our wildest dreams ITM is not going to be in the mix for everything, nor should they be otherwise they will stretch too thin which brings other issues.

Really good to see that the share price seems to be coalescing around 75-85p as the new general volatility level following the rise after the recent announcements. It seems to be holding up well from pressures from external factors such as inflation, the shortening of US tax credit timescales and Geopolitical concerns.

In a good place and ready to press forward with more order announcements. Happy days!

@Troublesome, indeed, I almost put environment before I decided on society - unfortunately there will always be people who are more focused inwardly then outwardly. Indeed, everything is subjective - but I was trying to be brief, this could so easily become a socio-political doctorate thesis, don't think anyone else will want to read that.

Absolutely Troublesome, progress isn't progress if the outcome isn't leaving society in a better place than before - plastics in certain engineering situations and especially in medicine I support - but get rid of plastic bottles, bring back glass, eminently recyclable; get rid of plastic bags, use alternatives or boxes. The 1950-60s was much more sustainable in terms of everyday items than we are now - again a lazy efficiency argument was used to justify plastics then by ignoring the cost transferance as it couldn't be seen or measured at the time

It makes no sense to use a load of oil to drag a drilling rig out to the middle of the ocean, to drill a big hole using lots of energy, to extract crude oil using energy, to crack that crude into components using energy to get fuel to inefficiently burn it in an engine to drive a car/lorry/whatever. So glad we didn't do that because of all the efficiency losses along the way, the environment is so much better because we didn't do that.
