Stop lying Olli. Go away.

Well done for admitting to a mistake, Stefan. There are plenty on here who could learn from that.

By definition we, as shareholders, have to support JW's decision to hire Walker. After all, it's not a democracy.

But it is reasonable to have doubts. One has to assume that he was instrumental in coming up with the ludicrous target prices that Peel Hunt have suggested over the years and the only way those could have been calculated was to have accepted Bond's spoutings at face value without any form of critical analysis - and he was supposed to be an analyst. That, frankly, suggests a lack of basic competence in that role

It would have taken one utterly basic question to realise that the so called order book was a nonsense - what is the cost of production of a unit? Because once that was known it was clear that there was no prospect of sales.

I'm sure he has something to offer, but providing checks and balances would not, prima facie, appear to be a strength

Nick Walker is an ex stockbroker (Peel Hunt) who is Head of Strategy, certainly not a Non-Exec Director

No idea who 'your ' Nick Walker is but you've got every bit of that wrong!

I am here. Stefan, because I do believe the company has potential. And I know that stock markets look forward. I will say now that the chances of me holding the number of shares I hold now in ten years time is zero. I hope that is because I have been able to sell down my holding over a period of time and at a decent profit. My last three purchases are in the blue now so we are moving in the right direction.

We have been let down spectacularly in the past and Wilson seems more credible than Bond - but we must not forget that there was a fair period of time when Bond seemed credible and we know now that this business plan, such as it was, was absolutely absurd. Way, way beyond flawed - Selling tenners for a fiver was how Wilson described it back in July, and that was being kind.

It bothers me that the person who was supposed to provide checks and balances during the latter part of Bond's reign, the Chairman, remains in his job - who is keeping track of what Wilson does now?

Anyway, we hope for very positive news over the next few months, even though the timescales suggested in July last year appear to be slipping. If they do come through as hoped for then hopefully we are on a winner - if that apparent slippage gets worse then..............

I've been invested for well over a decade so don't bother trying to educate me on the long term, Stefan.

I'd day that in ten years AFC will either have failed completely (a lot sooner if that is the path we head on) or will have been taken over. The chances of it being an independent company and your numbers/guesses being anywhere close to accurate are, I would say, so close to nil as to be meaningless

I'm going to have a wild guess that there isn't anyone on this board who gives a tuppeny toss about what the business may look like in 2036!

If there was ever a thread title that emphasised the importance of proper punctuation...

I keep reading that AI could be a real threat to humanity. It's main threat could be that people believe rubbish like this has actually got some basis in reality.

Stocktake time of year and as there has been (not unexpectedly) minimal material news since the presentation on 22 July 2025 it is appropriate to look at what was said then and what might reasonably be expected over the next few months.

JW - 'We are tentatively moving forward with a partner towards another JDA'. This was in addition to the S&P company but no news on that yet - have to wonder if there is anything still ongoing with that potential relationship as this was also referred to as something where news might be hoped for within 3-6 months. Fingers crossed.

Was looking for disclosure of the identity of the S&P 500 partner in the next '6-9 months'. So three and a bit of those to go

When asked what announcements could reasonably be expected over the next three to six months. JW said that he hoped to be in a position to announce what version 2 of the Speedy contract looks like. Again no news as yet - we are over 5 months into that timescale.

We could do with some news on some of these developments sooner rather than later, although I do very much take JW's willingness to be interviewed recently as a positive.

For those who 'suggest' that the company will be worth several billion within the next two years JW said that there had been opportunities to look at taking the company private and suggested that if that route had been taken then he and Karl could have taken a 10% equity stake might be worth £80-100m in four or five years. That's bringing things back towards reality, but I'd be very happy with that scenario.

Awaits incoming abuse from the usual suspect

It was always ging to come back after that rise. Another penny or so and I'll add.

We'll see, but things rarely go up in a straight line. If it does I won't really be complaining!

Intraday, yes we were. Numpty

Five years ago today we traded at €1.30 on Tradegate...

Over the next few days it seems inevitable that the price will drop back. When it does, I will be like a rat up a drainpipe.

The weirdest thing of all is that he appears to believe that his posts really have an impact, and that those of people who don't necessarily subscribe to his ne-eyed view could have a negative impact. Very clearly, neither is the case.

It might cover a mince pie!

Having been c. 96% down before the presentation in February a bit of judicious averaging down means I am now in profit. Now for the upside!

Original purchase was at £1.60 over seven years ago and had long since been written off. Would be nice to see it back at that level :)

Is there a significant US retail shareholder base?

I was happy to get some at nearer 9.5p than 10p
