Member Info for Mikemine

I need some help. I haven'y accessed my ISA for about 9 months. Originally I was ii who were taken over by TD Direct. Apparently TD were then taken over by ii and now I can't log in at ii because you apparently need something called an access card. Needless to say they don't want you to phone them so I have had to resort to an email which will take time to answer. No doubt they will tell me they alerted me to the change but I have no recollection of this.At the moment I don't know where my shares are which is worrying. If anybody that has had a similar experience I would appreciate some info.

Totally agree Blue. I was excited enough by the fundraise RNS this week, and you can't always say that, but this podcast just adds to that. Certainly the strategic partner aspect is now more prominent. Good find.

I haven't accessed my ISA account with TD Direct for about 9 months and now I can't . It seems they were taken over by ii and you need an access card to get in to your account. Has anybody had the experience of switching from TD to ii this year/

Originally it was ii but they were taken over by TD. You could be right however but they do not want anybody to ring them like lots of companies this days. I have emailed ii so we'll see what happens.

I haven't accessed my ISA account with TD Direct for about 9 months and I can't contact them properly. If anybody trades with them I'd appreciate it if you would post the website you use for general access.

Here's a snippet

Gross margin of 0%?

Alfacomp, that was uncalled for, unfair and hurtful.

"They have a system of individual isolation and fire control so appear to have the fire risk covered"

Funnily enough thats exactly what they said about the project in Liverpool that caught fire a couple of months back after only being installed a few months prior to that. It was also the altitude of the Secretary of State over at the Cleve Hill project.

Again I was only aware of the Liverpool project after permission had been given. The person on the Council Planning Committee I spoke to had no idea of the fire risk history of Lithium nor of the existence of VFBs. I bet they wish they had that knowledge whilst the project was before Planning.

Alphacomp, strangely enough I did use that comparison in some of my communications including one to the local fire services. Apart from being aa investor in IES, I also have an interest in the safety issues at Cleve Hill as I live quite near Faversham.

There is also an even bigger solar farm planned near Cambridge. I have been in contact with them also but not to the same extent. There is a protest group who's link is below.

I have been in touch with the protesters, via the Faversham Society, for quite a few months and first alerted them to the safety benefits of VFB's and the fire risks of lithium batteries. Up until then they had never heard of vanadium much less VFBs nor were they aware of fire risks of lithium. I made representation to the minister of state, MPs and the local fire services. The bottom line is the Government is quite happy to believe the assurances over safety given by the battery suppliers but the over-riding situation is that the developers of the site have a history of setting up projects and then selling them on. Cleve Hill will probably be the same so initial cost is the name of the game. They are not interested in the cost benefit spread over 20 or 30 years.

Timing has been crucial here IMHO. Had IES, in it's present form, been around a couple of years ago and the informed protests started then, the developers might have changed the storage to VFBs. Coming in when they did with the information, it was always going to be almost impossible to change this aspect of the project. The fight goes on nevertheless.

You might be interested to note that there are 7 special measures being implemented, on top of normal ones, to address the fire risk issue. The measures require that the hardware installed is of good quality and fit for purpose and adequate maintenance and monitoring is carried out by adequately trained personnel over the lifetime of the project, some 30 years. Good luck on that especially when cost cutting comes in.

The Lads on ADFVN are predicting more gains next week due to charts.

I take the warranty issue is because is because IES might not be around in up to 25 years. Its a common problem, one which I came across in another company. My memory is not perfect on this but I think the company was AFC Energy and they arranged insurance to cover the warranty. I think it was with Swiss Ri. Not too sure on the companies involved but I am sure about the insurance bit. I see no reason why IES could do the same if it is indeed a problem. Hope this helps.

Blackouts may be nearer than you think. We've had mild temperatures so far but, even so, a couple of weeks ago we came close. The Grid had to call on coal to supplement output as the wind was not blowing. They even had a contribution from car batteries. It wasn't much but that's how close things were. Coal will be gone by 2024 we are told so that supply will also be gone. France was supplying 6% and even today it's supplying 5%. After Brexit, who knows. Get a severe, or maybe a normal winter, and demand will test capacity. Couple this with a cloudy windless day and we could really be in trouble.

Crescendo, I'm sorry I have no view on that.

As far as I've garnered over the years, companies like to have a large investor base and on an over-subscribed IPO they will allocate fully to small applications and dilute the rest. Sometimes they dilute at different levels so you find that those who applied for most received the smallest percentage. One of these scenarios seems to have happened here.

It is rarely the company that has promoted this course, although they will have had to agree it of course, but it will largely be down to their advisors.

Its annoying but at least it gives confidence to the investor that their decision to apply was shared by many and that they have a share that others want which, in the end, is the name of the game.

Any idea what the directors' deal info is all about? It looks like none happened.

they obviously don't like vox markets on this site.
