Not exactly unexpected, or huge news, but I expected there to be a slightly better reaction to this morning's RNS.

mister_tidal the asset management arm holds 39,464,000 shares accounting for 5.46% of the company, they then also hold 68,630,000 through their stockbroker arm, thats 9.49%. Effectively representing 15% of the current share value, so I'd like to hope they would get a more solid reply. (figure from market screener, but they aren't far off what was listed at the AGM)

I hold my shares through HL, and in one form or another HL as an entity are the second largest shareholder in SAE, so I've asked them to have a look at this and talk to SAE. It will be interesting to see if they get a better response than those of you who have phoned or tweeted them.

Hopefully not, they could easily buy a controlling stake in SAE for well below its potential value. I would much rather see it grow organically before someone like Shell comes along and buys it out

Just took the opportunity to top up again, finally bringing my weighted average below 2.5p from lofty heights of 19p back in 2020. I'm just hoping that in a year or two we might be looking at being closer to my original entry point if we get a series of positive RNS's between now and then.

Earl, that was 2 months ago, 99% of users on this chat will already know that and its priced into the value already. I personally think its undervalued, but when you do stupid pump and dumps all you create is a more unstable stock that people have less confidence in in the future! If you're going to keep posting stuff, quit spamming the feed and try to add something productive that is new!

That might have been what it took to fill the last order someone placed

Today's big drop feels unwarranted in its scale. I haven't seen anything new in the report. Personally I had priced all of it in last time I topped up, and its just a shame I can't afford to buy more or I would.

The last real update on AR4 CFD from BEIS stated-

"National Grid ESO has submitted the notice of auction for Allocation Round 4 (AR4) to qualifying applicants, notifying them that an auction will take place.

From 24 May 2022, National Grid ESO will invite qualifying applicants to submit their sealed bids. This window will close on 15 June 2022."

Hopefully that means we should hear something in the near-ish future

The debt repayment is what I have been most worried about, and the RNS is better than I hoped, not only are they clear for another year (with a significant new source of income to pay it back), they don't have to pay off the interest that had been due next month until September. Personally I think this is going to have a bigger impact than yesterday! No wonder someone spent over 200K yesterday!

Not really, the new Australian government have promised to be their greenest ever etc. A large proportion of their population live on or near the coast. Combined it means that in general I expect Monday to be a good day for green stocks and there is a chance they may start looking at tidal in a way they haven't before which would be good for us here.

The results of the Australian elections are going to be great news for the renewable energy sector in general so let's hope some of it rubs off here!

There is a drop across global markets in anything that isn't seen as a 'safe bet'. Basically all tech has dropped, Apple has been hit hard enough they lost their spot as the most valuable company on the planet. I'm honestly surprised SAE hasn't dropped more over the last 48hrs

I'd like to hope you're right, but i think there is nervousness around the fact there has been no noise on the Abundance situation, with the deadline fast approaching.

I think we're going to see fluctuating over the next few days peaking at 3.5 maybe, but generally settling slight higher than yesterday around the 3/3.1 mark. I doubt we will see any real change until an RNS on the refinancing or a cfd. I doubt even the 3rd turbine in the water will make much real difference until Abundance have made a decision.

I haven't sold any yet, but I originally brought in at 19p, before averaging down to about 3p when it dropped below 1.5. My plan is to sell off a little if this gets much higher, but I will still hold about 10 times my original stake. I would be surprised if some of the selling we see is this, and others are people doing quick buy and sells, taking small % margins on its way up. Not to mention anyone who brought in at the same time I averaged down (or did better than me in spotting the bottom) could sell half their shares now and cover all their costs!

OAPK20, in Wales and Scotland its a mix, it in large part depends on the size, once they get over a certain output (apologies i can't remember the threshold) decision making gets reverted to Westminster. i.e. Swansea tidal lagoon was rejected in London after being accepted in Cardiff. (bit of a sore topic for a lot of people in the region)

Net Zero Watch is just a re-branded climate denial group. They would likely be as opposed if not more so to progression of tidal energy. They run an anti-net zero campaigns... I'm not sure I would take anything they produce too seriously.

I'm sorry you feel sick over this, but imagine how you would feel if your home was invaded for no reason!
Also are you trying to say Ukraine deserve this because NATO (a defensive alliance) has expanded?

Russia also signed treaties saying they would protect Ukraine and respect their boarder...

Virtually every major corporation gets involved in political dessicion making, so I'm not sure why you think this should be different. With American politics being the worst case of companies getting involved!

Unilever are well known for make contentious dessicions for what they consider moral reasons and that's one of the reasons I have shares in them, (as do many ethical investment funds). Ultimately they have to do what is in the best interest of their shareholders, and if the shareholders vote at an EGM for them to make a statement then they will. Plenty of companies boycotted South Africa due to apartheid, Germany in WW2 etc etc so there is plenty of presedent.

I've sent a message to Unilever calling for them to call an EGM in order to suspend all operations and supplies to their Russian market for the duration of the hostilities in Ukraine. I would appreciate it if any other shareholders feel compelled to submit similar requests as if they start getting more and more requests, they might take action.
