As a LTH who is still a long way short of break even here, I'm pleased but not yet over-excited by today's events. Yes its a big contract for a company our size, but I bought into a vision considerably larger than cleaning the water of a place with the population of Melton Mowbray. I had hoped the Oman desalination plant would be the proof of concept that kick started projects in all of the world's water-stressed areas, but it's not occurred. Maybe this one will do the trick but given that this took over three years to move into contracts, it may take some time before the really big changes take place. So happy trading to all you traders, and well done to MWG for bringing this one home - but now we've got to take it up a few levels.

Hadn't heard about this rather testy report from JCAP, quoted recently by Motley Fool. Seems pretty challenging but they are described as 'short sellers'. Key criticism seems to be that we don't realise our gains: �IP Group is an accounting game more than a company and has an atrocious track record of delivering bankable returns.� Would be interesting to hear how the board might counter this. https://www.fool.co.uk/investing/2018/01/21/one-neil-woodford-growth-stock-id-buy-and-one-id-sell/

It looks like the rabbit has been pulled out of the hat and into a mustard sauce for a gastropub main course. ;-)

The Washington Post picked up on our domestic machine in it's coverage of CES. We're making inroads everybody! https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2018/01/09/snuggle-robots-and-talking-toilets-ces-2018s-wildest-gadgets/?utm_term=.8d559d943b98

Don't think we've been given any formal information so, purely out of idle curiosity, does anyone have a thought about when we might see the relevant documents published and shares reactivated? Is it even possible to make an educated guess?

"the Board of Cellcast has now concluded that it is prudent to make a provision for 100% of the Company's interest in the Lexinta fund in its full year accounts for the year ended 31 December 2017. " Well I may be talking to myself on this board but it seems the board are listening. Just to be clear, I'm not was receiving an advisors fee ;-)

Still can't find anything in the UK press about Badilla and Lexinta beyond what CLTV put in their communications, but I did find a Swiss newspaper report. The news, at least as expressed via Google translate, does not look good. The article suggests Badilla is a classic case of the charming blagger who seemed to conjure returns of 45 percent, and when he couldn't keep it going, used new investors money to fill the holes. The reports don't say it was necessarily a deliberate Ponzi from the start, maybe the poor lamb just got out of his depth. The overall bill for investors could be 30 to 50 million francs- so not exactly Behrings, but not insignificant. Still no idea whether there might be all, some or none of our money back but maybe prudent to fear the worst. https://insideparadeplatz.ch/2017/11/07/anleger-befuerchten-ein-ponzi-zug-von-30-mio/

Well we seem to have hit 8p at 11.03 - I'm taking that as a sign that panic is over for the time being. I'm sure there'll be bumps in the road but GLA for 2018.

As I understood it last year was 11 months because we changed from end of January to end of December accounting period. So this year's results (when they come, it wasn't til June last year), will be 12 months - December to December. Will be interesting anyway though not as interesting as 2018 and certainly not as exciting as 2019. But we're heading in the right direction - and yes a juicy titbit from the CEO in the New Year would not go amiss.

Our little has been covered in the Telegraph http://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2017/12/14/sanjeev-gupta-takes-first-step-london-stock-exchange-renewable/

Whatever the short -term effect of a placing - and I think it may only be a very short-term dip - today's release sounds like one very self-confident rns and one very busy and ambitious company. There would seem to be major developments in at least two of our three markets in the next few months - this feels like a great time to get on board.

Well somebody's sell-off is continuing apace this afternoon - do people think a further statement of some sort from the company might help? Or maybe a better policy is to sit tight and keep quiet while the seller sells. I'm maxed out here but what a brilliant opportunity for anyone sniffing around looking for a bargain. Yes we may two years from profitability but as has been said there's plenty of reasons to think the figures will be looking better and better into the new year.

Gosh it all gets murkier(see today's RNS). And what a magnificent name for a villain - Bismarck Badilla. He looks a right wideboy as well. Looks like we'll have to rely on the Swiss regulatory system to get our money back. Perhaps they could sell some of that Nazi gold...(allegedly etc...)

It certainly tests the patience - I got in at 14, saw it rise to 30, and now it is what it is. I'll take the hit and stay in because I only ever invest what I'm prepared to lose and despite the prolonged nose dive I still feel there's hope here. Just hope the new senior management are able to stabilise and push on.

So we've cut costs and are trading profitably, but we *may* have been stiffed for �750k, though the payment is only a few days late and we've "no reason to think" it won't be paid. They'll let us know soon. Given there's currently a 9 per cent drop showing, sounds a nice little binary play for those in the mood.

So this most recent nasty drop is clearly linked to the uncertainty of losing a CEO. I wish we knew more about that scenario but obviously it is not about to be shared with us. It all seemed to happen very quickly and they don't appear to have anyone lined up, so that presumably means a full recruitment process, which I suppose could take three months to get someone in place. Looking for an ideal outcome though we get a high quality leader in within two weeks who can make the most of the huge potential of the new merged company, and the market will get back on board with us. If the company keeps stable there's no reason why the good news flow shouldn't start in earnest within a year and we'll be basking in the sunlit uplands by 2020.

Brilliant - type their name in that little box and their posts disappear.

Well looks like a few people knew this yesterday. Not remotely qualified to comment on this, but also yesterday my football club sacked our manager - despite watching the club every week I can't be sure it's the right move, I just have to sit back and hope the board get the next appointment right. I suppose that's what I have to do with TRX. Guus Hiddink would do (for City, not TRX ;-)

I think I'm staying and I was 100 per cent up at one point. It is depressing, but I wonder if the current fall is about that impatience that hits companies at this stage in their development - the science is proved, the sales force is in place, first sales come in - some investors want money to be made right away, but then they discover it's another three years before any profit is made. We've been through the 'excitement about potential' phase, we're now still in the spend, spend, spend phase and progress is solid rather spectacular. It'll be 2020 before we approach 'coining it in' phase but I still think it will come.

Yes - though of course there's an awful lot that should happen for the company and the share price by then. I don't think that prospect should affect any investment decisions now - at 11p this is still very cheap regardless of a potential share issue which would amount to one year's working capital to see us through to profitability.
