Oooo, looks like M3's getting a bit rattled.....but then again, he, and his associates always get a bit shirty when they are faced with something they can't simply shout down.
Let me ask a simple question, and request a simple answer.
A theoretical company has been developing a product for many years, and on many occasions has indicated that said product was on the cusp of being commercially viable. Each time it transpired that said touted product was not in fact commercially viable, and the company then goes off on a tangent, developing either a new product, or a new application for a product. It then announces that it now has a product which it is convinced is market ready, and has tapped into an exciting emerging market. It then transpires that THIS product, like many before it has been proven to not meet the performance metrics required. However, it then announces that it has a new product, and a newer version of the old product, and all are now out on test with potential customers. The company does not explain the terms of the lease on the trial unit, and there has effectively been a news embargo on anything of a technical nature coming from the company since announcing the INTENTION to put the units out on test.
In the above scenario, which would seem to be the more appropriate view?
a. Express concern about the direction of the company, and request an element of transparency over the direction of the company
or
b. Blindly assume that all is well, and vociferously shout down anyone who doesn't share your views?

Ask yourself which of the above is potentially more prejudicial to the financial wellbeing of a potential investor.

Go on, let's have a good old shouty response to this one.....

OK pedant smarty pants, so muscle memory meant that I automatically referred to the predecessor, the Financial Services Authority as you well know.
Alter egos. Pommygit and Thongthing are plainly alter egos for an existing user, which are used simply to bolster the drivel from the uber side of the fence. A simple look at when they started posting will see that they were both magicked up out of nowhere when the argument on a particular point at issue wasn't going in the right direction for someone
As for the comment about bashers and rampers, it's really all about perceptions, isn't it.....as they say, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.....
let's not forget that the sentiment isn't string at the moment, which doesn't really accord well with your narrative, does it?

On what basis do you propose to report “the gang” to the fsa? All they state (time and time and bloody time again) is that there is a radio silence and investors who invested / remain invested in good faith believe that the company has not lived up to the rhetoric spouted by the handsomely remunerated CEO. What they state is hard to refute in you take an impartial stance on the matter, bearing in mind the fact that there has been virtually nothing issued of a technical nature from the company for a long while; we don’t know what the performance metrics are, and we certainly don’t know whether they are presently being achieved.
However, lambasting these people for stating this, and putting forward unsupported hypothesis on what the company may or may not be doing in order to support the Uber positive narrative is in fact a complete mirror image of the so called basher gang, and is in fact no more legitimate. Would you propose to report those pushing the unsupported positive narrative at the same time?

In the words of M3
“What a condescending……”
A bit rich, an alter ego telling people how to behave.

Rest assured folks, if COP 27 is taking place in Sharm El Sheikh, then AFC will be there, presenting their latest work in progress, and more importantly, Bond will need to be there for at least a week before, and after, no doubt residing in a modest tent somewhere....not.

See Thongthing's earlier post. AFC aren't even talking to potential leasing companies, which is potentially worrying. If what he says is correct, then the company can't even be bothered to determine whether the potential leasing partner is worthy of talking to. This could bode well if they already have a fully mature sales pipeline, or the flip side is that there is no market ready product in existence at this point in time, which doesn't bode well.
We can hypothesise all day long but we just don't know, and radio silence isn't helping calm the old nerves.

How about “sycophant apologist ramper central”
Oh, forgot, that’s the happy place where you all mutually tug each other off singing the company anthem “what a friend we have in Bondy”
Just seem a new vacancy advertised “chief deck chair re arranger”

Hahahaha1
This thing doesn’t really need any help from bashers to tank at the moment, radio silence is doing the job plenty well enough….

I’m guessing that the conversation went something like this
“Now Bondy, last year you sold us on the idea of your wizard L series based power unit, on the basis that it was cutting edge, and the future, we liked that, cause we’re all about cutting edge tech and all that. However, a little bird tells us that the thing doesn’t actually work that well in the real world, and no one wants it, and that you’ve been beavering away on a wizard new version that’s really brilliant. That’s great news, but it seems that you may or may not have a couple of these new units out on test, and they may or may not be working as expected. As we’re all about cutting edge, we really can’t be associated with last years stuff that doesn’t work, so could you do us a favour and take your stickers off the big white box until you can let us have the new one when you know it actually works in the real world….”

Looks like I made a mistake. People who tell fibs don't need good memories of they can go back and delete the incriminating thread, now why would they do that?
I sense a credibility crisis looming, but no doubt your integrity is beyond doubt in the happy place.....

AIM
But that's now what you said, though, is it?
Just another illustration of the weasel words used on a regular basis.
Still happy with your £243K investment then?

AIM
Not exactly true, is it?
From about June 24 2022....
"That's correct, I have 1.35 million shares now"
"I have sold a few over the last couple of years to pay for certain things"
"My shares were once worth £1.7m. They are now worth £250k. I can say what I like sunshine"
Even at the peak, your holding would have been about 2.125 million, and by your earlier comment, you will have offloaded some 775K shares......
So which story is ACTUALLY correct.....
People who tell fibs need long memories mate.....

With all due respect, you know just as much, and no more than anyone else posting on here, so is it not a bit presumptuous to assume that your interpretation of the situation is correct.
We have many products in the past that apparently “worked” but not sufficiently well to persuade anyone to buy the bloody things, so why are you so absolutely sure that this time will be different?

It could be that the price is being driven down in order to create an artificially low entry point for a fund raise in anticipation of the need to fund the ramp up production after successful conclusion of the various tests which have taken place.

Bloody hell.......you're one "glass half full" geezer!

Garonne.
So the suggestion is that Pommygit is an alter ego of Alt…why not throw thongthing into the mix, as his modus operandi and agenda seems suspiciously similar….
Just hypothesising……

However, mushrooms are kept in the dark and fed bullsh*t, sound familiar anyone?

Pandy. If the whole thing is a scam, and there is no commercially viable product, then why on earth would you fess up about it, when the alternative is to keep churning out new iterations of a product that you know will never find a market, safe in the knowledge that the evangelists amongst the shareholders will defend the company and the main protagonist to the hilt all the way down until the ultimate day of reckoning.
Not saying that this is the case, but the current radio silence is a cause for concern.

Maybe the AFC shareholders should have an anthem.
To paraphrase the ole Devo song
"Are we not men? We are mushrooms"

What’s all this then? An Uber having a bit of a crisis of confidence? Whatever next?
All banter aside, what is apparent us that the sales team obviously aren’t interested (or maybe aren’t allowed) in chasing leads, the fundamental question is WHY?
As mentioned, if you advertise a product and imply it’s ready to go, why on earth put no effort into making a sales of said unit? It makes absolutely NO SENSE unless there’s something we aren’t aware of, and I think now us the time for the company to level with the market and TELL US THE TRUTH, be that good or bad.
