Have you got a link to the concert party rules on shorting @addicknt - I couldn't find with a quick search. Since each party has to declare to the FCA at above 0.2% I'm not 100% certain on the rules about related parties - although surely a single party wanting to net short say 2% couldn't arrange for 10 separate identities to do it on their behalf to stay under the FCA radar? (4 if they wanted to stay below public declaration) Surely not... And besides, half the point of shorting significant amounts is to publicly shake confidence to attempt to make it happen. I suppose the point I was making, is that there could be many separate identities, perhaps very loosely connected (in the same way people on here say "I'm buying", they may say "I'm shorting" via private social media networks or the like), all shorting below the 0.2% level so they don't even have to notify the FCA. 0.2% of BCN shares is: 134,039,872 * 0.2% = 268k shares and at today's prices around �330k. Sophisticated PI's could be at it - those that spotted the likely �1.20 retrace from �1.50 perhaps, and had already sold out at �1.50 believing it would fall back here, so decided to borrow some shares to sell some more on the way down? Perhaps we'll see a big buy back soon if so? So I'd say all of this is possible, but is it likely? No idea. My gut says no, not for BCN. Ob.

@addicknt. Not trying to start an argument - but there is no way you can know "This share is not being shorted" - all it would take is a few parties spotting a chart trend at whatever price, to hold net short positions below 0.5% (meaning they don't have to publicly declare) to bring it back down to this price. Not working in tandem of course, they would have to declare if so. Actually I'm not sure on that. I presume they would... But on balance, I'm agreeing with you, it's probably fickle AIM "investors" trying to Nth guess everyone else using the power of charts. Never underestimate the power of the chart. In fact, all hail the chart - didn't I just say that somewhere...? ;-)

@taufour. You are going to kick yourself. There is a "historical disclosures" tab on the spreadsheet ;-)

For what it's worth the official public list of shorted shares (which includes AIM) can be found from: "Notification and disclosure of net short positions" https://www.fca.org.uk/markets/short-selling/notification-and-disclosure-net-short-positions From the history, it appears that no-one has ever publicly declared a short interest in BCN. i.e above 0.5% of outstanding shares.

No. the 16.551% is the percentage of the Global X Lithium ETF that is held in Albermarle. According to: http://www.nasdaq.com/symbol/alb/stock-report === Shares Outstanding 110,496,000 === Therefore the percentage you are looking for is: 1,632,284 / 110,496,000 = 1.48% Ob.

Indeed @stag1974 - for INSP, power to gas (P2G) is where it is at from a carbon neutral perspective to seasonally shift energy generation in preference to other storage technologies which are currently more costly. Be that gas, hydrogen or methane, or a mixture - the Inspirit Charger can make use of it to generate heat with a by-product of electricity: and quite efficiently to boot. Come on John Gunn - David Lenigas has faith in INSP, in spite of the trolling from certain sectors... What are you playing at? Prove them wrong. Get some (believable!) good news out and this share price will be off its knees in a matter of hours! ;-) Admittedly if JG is planning on raising funds via a SynerGIS bond, this is probably better for us (and him!) than a share price spike followed by a placing - he still owns a significant percentage! ;-) Ob.

I'd up my opinion from a weak speculative buy to a Strong Buy, if I had concrete evidence for my speculation and thought us PI's invested in INSP would benefit. As it is - who knows what's going on with INSP? They tell us nothing. Could be on purpose to heist our shares... ;-)

From FT last year - "SynerGIS has been established to provide commercial asset backed lending and its operations will be independent on the activities of GIS." And: "Statement re share price movement" (03 May 2017) http://www.inspirit-energy.com/investors/rns-news-detail?id=ry6jg8x === Further to the share price movement today, Inspirit confirms that it is in discussions with Argentarius ETI Management Ltd about structuring a fixed interest bond instrument for the Company of up to �2 million. No money has so far been raised in relation to this instrument and the Company expects to make further announcements in due course. The Company is in the final stages in the development cycle of approvals for its micro combined heat and power (mCHP) boiler and expects trials to begin thereafter. === Clearly we are led to believe that the discussions with Argentarius fell through. Putting 1 and 1 together, along with this: Notice to Investors of Inspirit Energy GBP Asset Backed ETI" (November 14, 2017) https://argentarius-group.com/investor-relations/notice-investors-inspirit-energy-gbp-asset-backed-eti/ === The Company hereby notifies investors that all the ETI Units issued by Cell 20 shall be terminated and it is proposed that the redemption proceeds be paid by the end of December 2017. Investors� attention is brought to the fact that the Final Terms of Inspirit Energy GBP Asset Backed ETI, require a six month prior notification of any redemption proceed payment. For this reason, the Company in respect of Cell 20 proposes the waiver of this six-month notice period. === and I haven't a clue why people are selling right now. Hello? ;-) Ob.

If you are interested in UK energy it's worth reading the December and January issues of: http://www.no2nuclearpower.org.uk/nuclear-news/ I've cut and pasted the two paragraphs that mention mchp in the December edition. http://www.no2nuclearpower.org.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/NuClearNews_No102.pdf === Micro-CHP (mCHP) could also play a similar role as a grid support mechanism to cope with capacity constraints and short-term spikes in demand and meet the electrical requirements of other new technologies which require electricity such as electric vehicles and heat pumps. mCHP is an innovative new technology, which has significant potential to reduce carbon emissions. There are several competing technologies, but all would replace a conventional domestic central heating boiler, and produce electricity as well as hot water for heating. (109) In Germany Lichtblick, an energy supplier, is already implementing a novel commercialisation model for mCHP with a view to creating a �virtual power station� of mCHP units to balance wind in the network. LichtBlick has announced its goal to place 100,000 micro CHP systems with an electric output of 20 kW each into homes and buildings in Germany. The property owner will be provided with the cogeneration unit and a heat storage unit and be guaranteed that the home will be supplied with heat as required. LichtBlick would maintain ultimate control over the cogeneration unit with remote capability to manage the unit. A large heat store decouples the production of heat from that of electricity when necessary. The multiple small units give a sensitive and responsive network of immediate capacity to create a supply of up to 2 GW. ===

We get a mention on page 12 of this article on SynerGIS bonds. "Business & Breaks - Issue 4" (Dec 20, 2017) https://issuu.com/businessbreaks/docs/issue_4_final I wouldn't be surprised if the funding for commercialisation isn't tied to this in some way... If JG believes we've a product, he seems the sort that would do everything in his power to get it funded and to market. He certainly seemed very confident the last time I heard him speak! ;-)

You got a link for that?

I think it would be rude/disruptive to continue discussing KDNC on here, so I've replied on the KDNC board ;-)

"for many years" - Ahem. I suspect I was going to write months, then went for years... Not sure when exactly. 2015?

@Oily - this really isn't the place to discuss the pros and cons of KDNC, but if you insist ;-) "Obs.. i get the non publicly held assets side of KDNC" - you can pretty much stop there. That is the point - 30% of Sonora JV's, up to 100% in the new Argentina assets, 100% Greenland, 30% Yangibana. As for "all the way down you saw the same statements from boardmembers advising they were 'topping up'.. " not true. Board member were prevented for buying in for many years - to the great annoyance of some shareholders. Only last month did that end, and they rather conveniently, some may say, were able to buy in before the recent rally. In terms of dilution, KDNC has some great assets it can part sell (e.g. BCN!) to help fund its new assets with shorter timescales to cashflow (to KDNC) than the investments in BCN and EMH will deliver (debt will almost certainly be returned before dividends paid to shareholders). And if I hear one more person on a bulletin board spread the myth that number of shares in circulation matters! It only matters because some people think it matters, but in reality you need to look to *why* a company has the number of shares in issue it has. A hint, REM took over a shell company - if they would have consolidated at that point (which was an option) do you think the position would be magically any different... Number of shares in issue my rear end. How about this. If BCN had 1000x more shares in issue would it matter now? Of course it wouldn't. Ob. (mumble mumble, number of shares in issue)
