Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Looks like I am missing something.
Today the company served us notice of their AGM, normally this is done after the final results have been unveiled.
Any idea when thay will be doing that, or when the final results came out?!
There must have been a reason fos Sydbank to pull out. Initially I was optimistic and thought the banks must be queing up to lend to a quality company. The time it has now taken to get a new loan in place, makes me wonder if there is someting fundamentally wrong with the business. Would it have something to do with their assets and their valuation I wonder.
Does this mean that PMI is now the largest shareholder? The PMI share price has also been dropping from time.
Looks like a good wedding!
I wonder what the viability of this company is. It looks it is just loosing the money that people have pumped in. Only January 2023 there was a fundraise of 7p a share. only to find the company still need more liquidity, this time @ 3p a share. The company seems cash thirsty, and the share price has more than halved in only 5 months. And after all that we have not een much of a result.
Any idea why there was no Q1 trading update on the day of the AGM, like last year?
Do we now if there will be, and if so when, theQ1 update will be?
There need not to be any shortages. It looks like it is time for the UK to invest in new technology such as LST, so that the UK is no longer dependent on produce from other countries. The UK wanted BREXIT, they wanted to be independent.
So far they are not doing a good job.
Are they not proud about "Produced in the UK"?
However, UK compnies are notorious for not invesing in to the future. Not equipment wise and not staff wise.
Hence, the UK wages are lacking well behind most developed countries. SHAME on them.
UK companies do not understand that when you invest in your own staff, staff will be happier and become more productive.
Zillah Byng-Thorne just got awarded £600K in shares. What a nice leaving present!
I wish my employers were just as generous.
Christopher Frederick Hill collected 18,000 free HL. shares as the CEO of the company.
What honest right does he have to collect these when the share price in the space of 1 year has halved.
The shares should be handed back with immediate effect, and let him do a good days work first, so that we can say he deserves the free shares. If I would have performed like that I would have been sacked.
Let's discuss this at the next AGM!
Interesting times of high inflation. How will that impact the increase on wages? The higher the wages the higher the commission (is a % of the wages of the introduced temp. employee), the higher therevenue of the agency.
Can't loose.
Not sure what the market is like? Who are the competitors? What is their maket share? Are the struggeling to get an increased maket share?
Lucky for me I just got out in time with a miniscule profit. Considering to go back in?! I am not sure yet.
Freebies, Freebies, Freebies, ...................................... poor genuine shareholders who have to pay their way.
Richard Hutton acquired 8,386 Shares on 20 May 2022 by exercising an option granted pursuant to the Company's Performance Share Plan.
The grant was made at an option price of £nil per Share and was subject to performance conditions which were subsequently achieved in part.
Poor Mr Richard Hutton, his salary is not sufficient, it needs to be complemented with 1000's of FREE shares.
Nobody in the company noticed the decrease of the share price from £28 to £21-£22?!
Also, it was achieved in part, what if it was achieved in full, how many 1000's FREE shares would he have gotten.
So when profitability and the share price go down during the looming recession, he will have to hand the shares or pay the shares back?!
What a CRAP!
What crap is this:
"The Company confirms that following his participation in the Spirent US Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("US ESPP")and the completion of a 12 month savings period, Eric Updyke purchased 3,503 shares at a 15% discount to the market price on 29 April 2022."
Savings scheme or no savings scheme, freebies or discounted share purchases such as these should be banned.
Directors of companies are on good enough (too much) money to purchase their own company shares at full cost.
Would Eric Updyke have purchased these shares without the discount.
There is too much going on in a lot of companies where directors are just helping themselves, at the cost of the genuine shareholder.
Directors trading in their own companies' shares should be forbidden anyway.
" ..... discharging responsibility ....." my backside!
It is especially bad when the company is chargng £1 for printed tickets. First of all, I do not have email on my phone, something has gone wrong and I can't access it no more. Anyhow, I am not changing my phone to please trainline.com , nor am I prepared to pay the £1 surcharge. I have now stopped buying tickets online, and I a sure many other customers think the same.
I also find it very unhelpful when you buy tickets for more than one person, as it creates a delay at the ticket barriers.
With paper tickets you can give each person their ticket in order to get through the ticket barriers.
For me this stock is a sell, apart from the issue mentioned above, there are various known other issues such as the effect of Covid.
Sorry to say that Velocys is only a small player, and probably always will be.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is nothing new Velocys is planning to produce 6.5M? tonnes over a period of 15 year from 2026, look at the attached report from SHELL.
"Sustainable aviation fuel offers the greatest potential to reduce emissions. At Shell our ambition is to produce around 2 million tonnes of SAF a year by 2025. With the right policies, investments and collaboration across the sector we can accelerate aviation’s progress towards net zero by 2050."

I am sure SHELL is not the only big player competing towards obtaining a big chunk of the market.
So where does this leave Velocys?
Well I hope not. My next move is below £9.00
No it's not
Looks like the broker has run out of stock! I can't buy anything.
I am in at £9.47
That's what happens when you buy at a price below the "quoted share price".
