A little pleasurable Sunday read: http://tokyotalk.jp/article/a-smooth-ride-to-the-future A smooth ride comlng for us all?
It may be that this new consortium is aiming to build the infrastructure for the energy storage of the future. It would be a very considerable investment but could eliminate the payments to generators on down time and reduce difficulties in maintaining supply. Some time ago National Grid did some small scale trials with ITM Power, a Hydrogen Fuel Cell company, on injecting hydrogen in to the gas mains. This appears to have been successful as there has recently been some govt. funding for further exploration. This would be particularly useful when wind or solar are producing unneeded electricity which can be used to convert to hydrogen.Burning hydrogen produces only water vapour so it would also reduce the carbon footprint. My guess on the SP is that it might reduce these, though not necessarily, but as 39% (probably the largest share> of the consortium) the gains will be considerable with a greatly reduced need for capital. Purely my conjecture, lots out there to research.
I have been continually trying to buy since 8.00 this morning and can not get a quote. Not a time to sell in my opinion.
The number of inferences has increased, though very little in the way of facts. To get some idea of the nature of the poster just click on the posters name , top left in blue on the post and you will get some insight. Do your own research. Do you think you recognise the style of one of these posters?
I am really concerned that the current onslaught from TW and others will affect the thinking of newer investors who have not seen all this on a number of occasions before, and panic them into selling and thus assist the shorters. Please do your own research before selling at a loss. I found this link on ADVFN https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r_jrhnZZr1cGd982p_Tf1IXB2a8o-k04_SI87xgh_ZY/edit?pli=1 the author is much more able than me to analyse this stock and he is familiar with all the arguments that have been used examining them one by one.
Welcome to the Board, LongShort_123! I see this is your first ever post on the board- and since registering today. Sorry you could not fully understand the RNS.
I am glad that the Bond issue has been dropped for the present. The credit rating suggested that there should have been no difficulty but market conditions and efforts by the shorters created a high degree of volatility and perhaps it should have been shelved earlier. Certainly the path ahead is now much clearer. If as the company says the current acquisition can be easily paid for out of present funds, and it would appear that it can, then it is earnings enhancing immediately, with a high percentage of recurring revenue and brings a very useful new market. The shorters with the help of TW will try hard to hold the share price back, so we can expect a little volatility but in all but the immediate term I do not now give a lot for their chances and I would expect that they will look for an opportunity to start reducing their short. Very much in my humble opinion of course but I am buying on the falls now. I have in the past held these shares at all prices from 11p to the high 90s and believe that at last we have a chance to see this share again valued properly. Very interested in other views.
rns @ 13.31 High yeild bond abandoned. Not sure why it is not showing here
I do not know whether the charts actually can predict future movements. However a lot of investors take note of them to a varying degree and this being so it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy and can move the share price or spark buying and selling at the support and resistance levels. I never ignore the chartist views but do my own research bearing in mind what I believe about the foregoing. Good or bad news should, of course, have more effect though here we have to contend with the shorters trying to limit the effects of our generally constant stream of good news which recently has been helped by economic conditions affecting all markets. My only concern at the moment is the uncertainty about the upcoming bond, I believe that once this is settled and the situation with regard to acquisitions is clearer we will begin to move up, nice if it happens to coincide with a chartist prediction and we see the shortens off. AIMHO of course.
I must say that my research generally agrees with yours. Ennismore European Smaller Companies fund, which is shorting Globo, issues a monthly Investors Newsletter that gives all this and other enlightening information. August Newsletter suggests that shorting was not their strong point. The website might be an interesting read for anyone thinking of investing - here or there!
Should read my posts before I send them , sorry. should read 85% sales but the price about 5% up. Particularly sorry about the one -liner
You are so right Jolly, oh for the good old days! Mind you your one liners are not as useful as your posting was then and help to hasten the reasoned serious posts off the board in the way the derampers and rampers do. Just an observation, at 1045 this morning the computer generated- sales suggested more than 85% of trades as sales but the about 5% up. It certainly tells the Buy?sell ratio as advertised can not be trusted - but what else does it tell us?Answers please but not one-liners. GLA We live in exciting times!
I rarely post here now, this board used to be a great forum for sharing information and stood out for its friendliness but this has changed.I have been here since the price was 11p and have bought and sold some from time to time so that I am not too distressed about the price now. It is much harder for those who bought on the fundamentals when the price was reflecting the value of the company and it is distressing to see people panicked into losing money by the manipulations that take place here.The shorting hedge funds and de-rampers have been successful in driving the price down and the market makers widening the spread and diving the price to take out stop-losses (as was questioned by a poster today) make it very difficult to tell sales from purchases, on AIM this is not in any way a reliable way to help decide whether to hold or sell. There has been talk of iis selling over the last few weeks and whilst there may have been some there have been no rns disclosures of major interests in shares since 13th August and previously to that in early July when Standard Chartered reduced their holdings, though they still hold 4.86% of GBO shares. As of today nine institutional investors hold about a third of Globo shares; they include Blackrock, Huxley, KBC and Norges Bank and none of these show signs of selling. The directors hold about 18% so about half of all Globo shares are not moving which makes it easier for the market to be manipulated by anyone who controls a large enough number of shares. The last trading update that we had made clear that the outstanding progress the company has been making has continued and the combination of international economic worries has made it easier for those who have an interest in driving the price to suit themselves to be quite spectacularly successful this time, the hedge funds have been having a hard time in getting the share back to where they last bought at about 33p until recently. They have now reached a point where they can buy out at a profit after returning the shares they borrowed and may well do so before the results on 29th September.
Thanks Lucky Mouse, I noticed that it was ex div but could not see a reason for that change. There did appear to have been some selling though. My post did not bring out a de-ramper so I have tucked away a few more.
I bought in to here recently and saw nothing in the results to worry me, though I do not understand the term "normalised" used for the figures, so I was surprised at todays sell off. Can anyone who has been invested here a bit longer give me any clues?
