Agree 100% from the figures they have just released an SP below 7p is cheap - I topped up at 6.5p - as people on here are saying this is not the end - it's the start of the process of turning block from a small cap to a larger entity with a relatively small number of shares in issue and the next three to four months could transform the company. I am not looking for a quick 1p profit per share I am holding for medium to long term returns - double figure SP should be a reality soon IMHO

I nearly sold these a while back when they had a bit of a minor wobble. Thank God I held on to them - I added another slice to my own holdings this morning - Would just like to say a big "Thank you" to the people on here who have been upbeat on these shares and who have been proved correct (You know who you are). Well done Paul and all at Block - Great news.

Ezhik - Spread "issues" - there seem to be a lot of people whether pros or amateurs who are happy to pick up BLOE shares at 3.2p and sell the two weeks later for 3.6p and boast about it. I have bought these as a medium to long term hold - whether I will be boasting about it or not remains to be seen but I am not flipping these for a quick profit. I agree with you the spread seems to be swinging about all over the shop from 16% to 5% and all stops in between..........

Roughandslow - I have been doing the same thing, bought some BLOE shares now and again when I have a bit of cash freed up. Funny my purchase today (12.30 ish) is showing as a SELL rather than a BUY.? 124K shares.....

Agree 100% Maestro - you beat me to it by 2 minutes. I missed your post as I was typing.

I take your point about the "swings" in buy/sell and the SP the only thing I have noticed is that the spread has narrowed from about 14% to just over 5%. Am I correct in assuming that a lower spread indicates trading confidence in the shares being traded and the company.? Apart from that it seems that every time I top up my share holding the SP drops - I bougth 124K shares around 12.30 today............maybe we need to exercise confidence with patience.

Maestro - you have his name incorrectly spelled - it is Dean Antony Clark - from what I have found he was a "director" at MERRILL LYNCH INTERNATIONAL .......I think he is based in Barbados.

I have held about 12,000 CNA shares in my own small portfolio as a private investor for over 5 years.
Having "averaged" down twice I am sitting on an average cost per share of £ 1.90 - the price is moving north
at the minute but it would take a great deal more than a sub £ 1.30 SP to get me buying any more. Having said
that DYOR and I would only risk what I could afford to lose or tie up for years..........HTH

Have had a quick look I think the script dividend reference date is 10-05-19 ???
Can anyone confirm.

Is there anybody on here who knows the reference date for the script dividend.? Unlike any sensible CNA share holder who would just take the money and run for the hills I am just adding insult to injury by taking more shares. As other people have pointed out it hardly makes up for the drop in value. I am currently sitting on a £ 8K loss - not a complete massacre but not exactly like losing loose change down the back of the sofa. What I would like to know (probably along with most smaller investors) is just why the hell is Ian Conn (CEO) still in his post.?

Dazbrad - that is the funniest thing I have heard in years - you are obviously quite the expert when it comes to being a tight wad. Have you considered passing your suggestions to Mr Martin Lewis the Money Saving Guy.? I am sure there are many people who could benefit from your "offerings"................

I think the contents of the presentation are being published on the Block Energy website
immediately after - so maybe around 2.00 pm on Thursday. HTH

Agree 100% - added to my holding with 105K shares just before 9.00 am
Just need to keep calm and wait to see what unfolds after Thursday and
the announcement from BLOE...........

There was a bit of a dip so I added another 94K shares to my holding at 3.20pm does not seem to be showing yet. Slightly more buying and selling seems to be going on today for BLOE.

I think you and the previous poster are right - figures are moving in the right direction - the BLOE team seem to know exactly what they are doing. Only thing missing is some form of progress report or update. I bought another 33K shares this morning to add to my holding but will be waiting until there is some information to make me buy again. Hopefully no news will turn into good news.

I read through some of the report - I thought the "special dividend" was at the rate of 17.0 p per share to be paid in November of 2019 but I could be wrong on that. These have been my best performing shares so far in the past 12 months - I bought in at 475p and plan to keep them for the medium to long term.......

I bought SLA shares in June or July of 2016 for £ 11,800 and sold them almost a year later
for just over £ 19,000. Having received an inheritance last year I have been dipping my toes back
into shares a buying mixed lot including SLA - they looked secure and as most people report the
dividend is attractive if you are looking to hold them long term. "Money in the bank" is as good as money in a
hole in the ground - so I take my chances and invest it myself and accept the risk. The current drop in the
SP will not have me rushing out to sell and if they do dip enought I might buy some more.

You are not alone I have been sitting on mine for ages. Bought originally when the SP was around £ 3.25 bought more to average out the SP I was sitting on - now looking at £ 1.91 which seems a long way off from the low 130's and the trend has been static or downwards. Bought these with some money from an inheritance - the regular dividend looked appealing however as the SP fell I swapped out of the cash divi and took extra shares instead............not sure that was the smartest move I have ever made. At present I am sitting on a £ 6500 loss so I am not inclined to cut and run.- unless they go south in a big way I am in for the long haul.

Can you perhaps explain why you say you are buying 1,000 CNA share every month if you have
"No opinion" ?
