*Inflation hitting 2% I meant, obviously!

And with interest rates hitting 2% the prospect of lower interest rates looks, which should give the SPa further boost. Could 80p be in the offing?!

Trying to lumber back into the 70s. You'd think the CEO would be snapping them up at these low prices. Seemingly not! She's clearly not interested in doing or saying anything that might get this laggard of a share, moving up. We need a CEO with dynamism to make this company successful, once again. Someone with the vision and energy of Tufan Erginbilgic, would be a game changer.

Finally! The 200kW unit will be a great addition and should sell in volume especially to ABB! The caveat of course is as long it works reliably and receives the necessary certification. It's been a long time in the making so let's hope shareholders get some just rewards on the back of this development.

Let's face it, there's been precious little good news here. It would be an absolute disgrace if UKG let's this go under. It's a national asset, especially with ship building needing to be ramped up. Also, you'd think the MLAs at Stormount would view the IM gas storage as something worth having not least to establish energy security for NI! Maybe somebody doesn't want Harland's to succeed.

These Lefties love nothing more than a bit of "climate change" to get them up on their high horses. They shout about stopping oil but offer no credible alternative to powering the modern world. It's one of the big down sides of democracy that the tail very often ends up wagging the dog with these idiots succeeding in halting an infrastructure project of national significance! Meanwhile, the silent majority just get taxed to oblivion to pay for their crack pot ideas. I mean by the time son of a toolmaker Starmer is finished crippling the North Sea oil industry we'll be paying even more tax to replace all the lost revenue that the Treasury will no longer be getting. You couldn't make it up!

These clowns don't deserve fossil fuel. Do they not realise that there's no significant alternative and that without it, we'll be going back to the dark ages. Northern Ireland is an economic black hole and sooner or later governments will get fed up subsidising it for little return. A project like this would've restored some relevance to the place but these environmental clowns can't see further than the ends of their noses!

I think we all know deep down that there won't be any finance deal forthcoming. Could this be the end? Any normal country's government would bend over backwards to get this company building ships again and employing lots of skilled, well paid workers but not here. It seems that the government and the judicial system are working hand in glove to ensure Harland's goes under.

It's typical of the blinkered mindset in this country. It's crying out for gas storage facilities but best not upset the NIMBYs. What happens when gas imports become difficult to get as has already happened with the Russia problem. Our alarmed forces are a joke to the extent that we could be successfully invaded by Russia or China. TBH we deserve to run out of gas or pay through the nose for it as with judgements like this, we're doing nothing to improve the country's energy supply resilience and with Labour coming in, I really fear for the future.

This company is sinking fast. No IM and no finance. You can't get anything done in the UK. It's just set up to benefit lawyers and pen pushers. They don't care about making progress to improve industry and infrastructure. Look at the HS2 debacle.

We were told in the RNS issued on 15th May, refuting the Times speculation on the finance deal, that we would get an update on this issue in the next few weeks. It's now been almost 5 weeks and counting. The use of "few" is to be vague by design.

There's always plenty of news in the pipeline with AFC. Snag is it never clears the pipeline. Looks like haggis' promise of a return to a 20p+ shareprice, is proving elusive. I suspect it'll be radio silence for months now that Bond has got his money.

It's not the only share that's getting hammered. I'm in Prudential too and it's tanked again. Also in IAG and VOD not to mention some disastrous AIM companies, so I'm starting to think that the whole game is rigged against PIs making money. Let's hope things turn around soon.

An interesting Telegraph article for those that can access it. It suggests that Vodafone and BT are ripe for hostile foreign bidders due to their low valuations implying that they won't stay low forever. Could we get a turnaround?

The HiiRoc debacle is one of the best examples of Bond's hubris. His incompetence or worse, is staggering!

The only thing that's embarrassing, Joaung is that the SP is at 16p, 18 years after the IPO and some posters still have the audacity to suggest the company is a good investment. AFC's track record is absolutely abysmal and should be called out regularly until such times as the BOD actually deliver some real products that have been bought and paid for by a third party. I won't hold my breath.

Wow! 18p! We'll all be rich! 🤑

Sorry to hear that robleo. Let's hope Margherita surprises us and VOD rises from the ashes back to pound plus territory and you get to reduce your overall losses. If it's any consolation I sold RR and ploughed a lot in here and promptly lost thousands both here and in potential lost profit at RR. It's still going up! It was a catastrophically bad decision. This investing malarkey is not easy!

What happened to HiiRoc? I guess ABB have gone to the same place along with Julich, Ricardo and Southern Oil! Still no news on the 200kW unit either. This company just makes s*** up!
