Just been looking at the altalto site, it seems planning been granted for site in UK which is great news, then says construction is aiming to start in 2022 with view to have plant fully operational by 2025, so i'm now curious, would the share price effectively stay the same between now and 2025 before it can then produce its targets and get airlines using it? Didn't find much info on the US site in terms of when that will be operational.
Don't mid holding the shares for a while but just concerned price may drop if little is seen to be going on or positive news etc.
Thanks for your help so far, much appreciated.
Yes i saw a link you posted but part of the link has been removed / *'s so link doesn't work.
I'm leaning towards investing now, i think overall AIM maybe different to FTSE but seen as BA, Shell and Gov have invested in this, it certainly sounds like they are pretty confident to make investments and would have people far knowledgeable than me on this subject to make a sound decision. I'm now considering how much to invest, don't have a huge amount but its a case of pretty much do i invest £500 and see where it goes or do i invest 1k and see where it goes, obviously safe in the knowledge i may loose it all potentially...
I saw your link to Zak mir who mentioned upto approx 20p so looks promising too. Just wondering if it will open down or up on Monday and if it may drop or not... wish i had a crystal ball :)
Hi,
Thanks for the links, very useful indeed. How does trading on AIM differ to FTSE? never bought on AIM, is it a different buy/sell? Also, are there any recent broker recommendations giving a price of 21p? The last i can see is saying speculative buy and target of 15p and the last buy recommendation was may 2019 with target of 25p
Certainly looks interest but slightly concerned with AIM as from reading it seems even if you get good news doesn't mean shares go up, seems they just randomly go up and down when they want to.
How do placings work also? is that some kind of buy back scheme? Where buy they pay you some money to buy back shares or do you end up with a smaller number of shares but equal to the same amount you invested/price they are currently?
Thanks
Hi,
Many thanks for the link, just watched it. Sounds interesting. I didn't quiet get the answer to the question regarding effectively why would companies pay a higher price for the fuel as it means there costs go up and also if the chap asking a question say powerhouse was doing a similar thing and he hadn't heard of them? Anyone here know much about that? Presentation was ok, but seemed a little unsure on some of the answers i thought. As BA/Shell have invested, it certainly brings re-assurance to the product/company so certainly considering investing. I'm pretty new to investing, i bought what would be considered a very small holding in lloyds couple of months back.
Thanks
Hi,
Just discovered this share by mistake, never heard of it before so trying to find out about VLS, whats the opinions here? Good time to buy? Any advise on where to get more info?
Thanks!
Bought some of these earlier this year at just over 29p, now i see they have dropped getting tempted to top up... seems to be some resistance at 26p from watching on and off this morning so wondering if this is the bottom and to top up now or if people think will go lower this afternoon / tomorrow?
I bought some at around 29p few months back, i see they now dropped just below 29p, wondering whether to top up or wait and see if they go lower. Not bought a huge amount first time round, just a small holding as wasn't sure at the time so figured if i lost it, wouldn't be the end of the world.

Thanks for the replies. I'm new to investing and as such i'm only investing a relatively small amount of money in comparison to some trades I've seen. Granted, wont be making as much but every little helps. Agree, will take a while for things to pick up but i'm looking to invest for couple of years or so as opposed to a few months etc. In the last financial crash i missed the boat and now markets are down again, wanted to not miss the boat and a little bit of money out of it where possible in long term, hoping to double my money which for me as said wont be a life changing sum, wish i had more to put in. I bought some shares a short time ago in a different sector and that will likely be couple of years before it goes back to where it was but again was small investment and i can't see that one folding so just need to play the waiting game and potentially buy more if they go lower than i bought previously.
Kev
@antmoss44 - Yes, i agree, i'm going to have a punt on this also as just bought lloyds, just have to see how it goes, if it looks to keep increasing i may just have to buy and hope or i might wait till end of the month if it suddenly goes up quickly and i think i'd not make much based on the general 120p people suspect it will go back to I've seen commended.
Kev
I thougth of diversifying, i was lookig at a different sector but just don't kow enough about the ones i looked at to be abel to take a came. Looking at the prices a short time ago, i feel lloyds shoudl be ok and be abel to go back to similar prices, plus the lowest i can tell they were in 2008 was 25p so i figured the price nwo isn't too far off this so take a punt.
Barclays i think the same as lloyds, they can withstand this and are likely to recover quickly i suspect, its just finding the right time to take the punt. I'm wishing i'd take it at 80p now.... but will have to see, might need to take that gamble soon and just buy and see what happens.
Depends also on the other sectors, i was looking at home builders but they all effectively closed so time will tell what impact it as i.e house prices drop means maybe they will be selling new houses at a loss etc... so difficult to predict what will happen there.

Thanks karv1,
Yes, I did eventually buy 1 share back in 2008, it was a friend of mine who suggested it and at the time, i thought ah why not, it was a bit of fun at the time. However those shares i bought (not in banking sector) too forever to come back or what felt like it, simply because they increased up to about 60p or so and then seemed to just hover around the same figure, almost flat lining at that price. once there was a blip and it went up 30p, literally for like a day and then back down for 2 or 3 months again and then it went up and at that point i'd be able to double my money so i sold them thinking this could be another small increase before they drop again like before, however they were now worth over £4 a share.. so yep i sold way tooo early but hindsight is always good, i was happy that i'd double my small investment so was happy with that, at least i didn't loose on my first ever share purchase.
lloyds is my 2nd share purchase but this time off my own back, no one has suggested them to me etc, the price just seems low and hopefully will go back up.
I do remember last time, checking the stocks ever week or so and getting kinda bored looking at it hovering around the same number, i was getting close to thinking, do i sell and be happy with that i'd made or just wait it out. I'm glad a waited a bit longer so i double my investment, just a shame i didn't hold longer could of made a more but my investment was only small so wouldn't of been thousands profit etc.
Kev
Thanks all, realise no one is going to be able to predict what will happen, I just remember I started looking in the last recession and saw this share at around 50 or 55p and thought wow big bank, this low but then thought hmm if they this low, they could potentially be in big trouble and maybe fold so held off, however within a shortish time, maybe 6 months or so, can't recall exactly, they were on the rise and i missed the boat... so now seeing them low again compared to not too long ago when they seem to of been around 160 or higher, its tempting but i seen rumours of recession having a knock on this so could be just a short term life before more falls (JP Morgan announcement) so unsure. So what i did was I went for a punt on lloyds, only bought 1800 shares for 29.405 so like i said not a huge investment but from what i could tell, lowest point was around 25p and i saw these get to 27p the other day and now they at 29.xp, i figured they used to be 60-70p so should be a good chance of doubling my money fingers crossed so I've gone for it.
Still looking at Barclays, just can't decided on pulling the trigger now or waiting as i hear results due end of April which may cause them to drop again along with recession so need to consider further.
I'm doing a bit of own research, i see H&L recommended this share back in March, so tempted but not sure if more recent events would make that opinion different. Still tempted, I was more tempted at 80p but just held back and then missed it when it went up this morning and has slowly continued. Will be keeping an eye on it for sure.
My view is to simply buy shares now and then keep them for a year or 2 and see what happens, obviously if they recover quickly and I double my money, i will then either take out my investment and leave the rest invested to make more based on I got my money back so if i lost it, I've not actually lost anything or i may just decided to cash in and be happy with doubling my money.
Kev
Hi all,
Bought into this at 29.405, been watching these for a while and couldn't decide when to buy so just decided well they below 30p so i'll have a go and see what happens. however, my trade isn't showing above but noticed the site seemed to be crashing out and not loading today so not sure if there was a lot of people using it or lots of trades.
GL all!
