So glad I approx' doubled my stake last week! Well done for those who have hung in here for years.

It was the lack of a rush to publish which offered the LTH the confidence, G

The handling of this by this management team is completely different to the past, I feel it is quietly sure footed....that makes me at ease... the lack of bluff and foster is a positive. Not many have the bottle for this ride!

Been in this for ages, and my only comment is that I am pleased that they are taking their time and hopefully that will enhance serious investor confidence for the future. Past RNS's from the previous era never fully transformed or improved confidence consequentlyj the institutions stayed away....this time I am hoping that silence is golden for the future and that the RNS has real gravitas.

Just done a 'search'which says it is operating for gaseous helium.....

The best news on here for ages and shows respect between the community and the company which bodes well for an on-going partnership....now it can fly if the results show us the way! Now to the prediction folk amongst you... let your imagination inform my decisions!

This lot are so arrogant, they can't find their way through basic trading fundamentals!

Is someone quietly building a stake in this, it's moving rather more positively than I expected, G

I'd say about time too! Pleasing summary. Perhaps other retailers will show more resilience than expected.

Hi, this lot need to get in to the next generation of engineering, the CEO is a book-keeper, he needs a kick from an engineer who knows where markets are going - it strikes me that the governing foundations of this lot are not propelling the business towards the next industrial revolution and has a management structure where their business gods are losing their power, vision and need a new thesis/credo etc.

The self congratulatory change of leadership from the inside made me very angry when I eventually heard about it, as a shareholder I should have thought that should be a market highlight, it is not, and the City didn't take it too well. It say so much that they always have stealth approach to communication - if they want new share holders to be interested they need to be open to the new. They are not.

This is the WORST performing share in my portfolio - even bankers are doing better! G

So a new CEO arrives and from the 'get go' shareholder values dives - lazy presentation, no vision - meanwhile engineering is in a new Industrial revolution which leave SPX in the dustbin - change the CEO to be an Engineer now and wake up.

Minor Correction - Mosman Hoag

Mosman HOAG - then nothing is lost!

....at last, you're right! G

This is the most frustrating company, it has the financial resources and presence to move forward in to new technologies and it is sitting on prehistoric technologies it needs to invest in engineers and create new products instead of sitting on its laurels - shameful leadership in this climate of change. Bet nothing changes...G

Sunak's merry gang of ultra realists have eventually worked out that charging EV's without enough power stations and charging stations just doesnt work! Listened to a presentation by a senior RR person this week, I know this market really well and they've got this sorted technically/commercially - without cutting any corners whatsoever they need the regulators to step on the gas with their resource deployment, most importantly Sunak needs to kick Great Bristish Nuclear and telll them to back the RR SMR and then infrastructure funds to back them up. This should be the Trent equivalent in nuclear for RR plc. Then there's Ultrafan which should make its mark soon. 2024 looks like a good year. G

Yes - but where is ther any hard evidence that they have the engineering minds and corporate will to take this company from the "steam age" in to the new economy - it should be heralding new products - i think the city sees this hence the downturn in the price which is substantial for a company of this nature, G

I wonder if this might herald a change in technological leadership and embracing of new thinking. This share has been in the doldrums for a long time, the City must think its a dying species....

Recognise its not the same as Georgina but Helium 1 is on the move today so maybe things will move in tandem as you suggest Steakpie! G

What we all seem to forget is that shareholders and bond holders are just elements in how a company is financed, most especially a modest and relatively new one. I like it that we have more shareholders on the way in with equal skin in the game even though it dilutes my holding, the weakening of the threat from bondholders is much more valuable to me.

I do hold deep criticisms of the failure to deliver on stated goals I would like to think that from now onwards we will apply ALL of our pressure directly to the Executives to force them to make actual progress now whilst energy markets are on our side. The lack of tangible, visible achievements within stated schedules is what annoys me most and on reflection that is probably the majority view. Get on with it Executive Directors, give us a good shock for a change and do what you said you would do. G

Well it was blue early on - what's happened?! Would love to know the nett cash position at the month ending 31st July. G
