Just got back from the health club.

I was nothing to do with removing Slugs posts.

But then again he won't believe me, because it fits in with all his other conspiracy theories.

SharketMare your investment has not been diluted because the company is worth twice as much.

Dilution refers to the value, not how many shares in issue.

Jezzoo dilution is where you end up owning less.

For example if shares were issued to give to directors you would be diluted as your stake would be worth less.

If you own ten percent of a million shares you're argument says you have lost money.

You haven't.

Let's try and explain this another way.

If you are permitted to purchase one share for every one you own according to you, you have not diluted.

That's correct but you have doubled your stake.

You are confusing control of a company with dilution, they are not the same.

Kat2008, you are running a close second for the title most unintelligent poster on here.

The company has not diluted shareholders stake.

Yes there is twice as many share's but the shareholders are the same.

Your argument is false.

Let's say you cancelled those extra million shares and retained the money.

You would say by your argument that nothing had changed and dilution was avoided.

But that's not true your shares are now two pounds a share.

I really don't think you understand this.

Stackhigh You're talking rubbish.

Addicknt is correct.

Let's say you have a company with million shares at one pound a share.

The market capitalisation is one million pounds.

Now you create another million shares.

You sell them at one pound a share.

You now have two million pounds, but the company now is worth two million pounds.

No dilution has occurred.

Morning Tesla, I kept the calculation on my kit which is over three years old now.

I calculated this using 435 watt panels that have a life of 30 years, with minimum degradation.

This is the current octopus energy offering and a 9.5 KW battery.

Also looked at the selling of excess energy between 4 pm and 7 pm when octopus take your battery down to 20%.

So Slug lives alone in his six bedroom mansion with marble floors and underfloor heating.

Personally I think he's closer to the harry potter cupboard.

Which would explain why a heat pump is not for him, as they can't put them in cupboards.

Ok slug I have done the maths.

Your payback on solar is 7.5 years, with 22.5 years of free power.

I need a good laugh, please show us how you came out with your ridiculous payback period.

By the way you state a 4% bond but don't show the working for the cost of your electric on a month by month basis, not do you show inflation of power, have you included 22.5 years of free power.

These figures are conservative.

I know this because I am achieving this and the technology is better today.

Slug you say you have a degree in mathematics.

But cannot work out a simple solar solution.

What rubbish.

Slug you are a liar.

Solar payback on average seven years.

Latest solar panels will be producing electricity 30 years later with 90% efficient.

Problem with heat pumps is not enough installers .

Hence the big subsidies to get more people into the trade.

Slug you are about 20 years out of date

The government subsidiary won't be there forever.

This is too get the industry kick started.

If you had got in on the first FITS payments for solar.

Today you would be getting over 50 pence for every kilowatt exported.

It was done to get it kick-started.

Today you get just over 30 pence a kilowatt if you know what you are doing .

Renewables are cheaper than fossil fuels and need less maintenance, possibly with the exception of wave power.

But that is also coming along.

You talk complete rubbish, what is wrong with you?

You're lying Jezzoo, but I will let people read your posting history, it's there for everyone to see.

It's not 10,000 pounds .

The average 3 bedroom house can have all the radiators replaced, a new intelligent hot water tank and a heat pump for under 4,000 pounds including the 7,500 pound grant which is available to everyone, not means tested.

Slug you cannot be that dim, OK maybe you are.

This won't happen by 2050 forget what government wants.

Market forces will make gas redundant.

As we get more renewables electricity will become cheaper and gas more expensive.

It will be the same as people switching from coal to gas.

Or in your case from having an outside toilet instead of having one in the house.

People will change when it's financially viable.

Eventually new houses won't have gas.

That's why you don't understand investment Jezzoo.

You look at a price and say it's gone down.

Why's that?

Solgold was once 80 pence a share everyone shouting buy.

I did the maths and bought 1.8 million at 4.6 pence a share.

My average.

I do the same for other shares.

I know how to value a company.

I also know when to take a calculated risk and when not.

Most of my portfolio is extremely boring.

But I was retired comfortably at 57.

It's not an assumption Jezzoo, those were your words.

Your investments are not good.

We are producing battery storage that can power towns and cities.

Gas will become more expensive in the transition.

We used to have coal fires and paraffin heaters.

My parents had both.

Gas will go the same way and faster than you think.

Once we are 90% renewables, then gas is dead.

People will have no choice.

Jeezoo one of the reasons you are really not good at investing is you don't understand how the world works.

If you try to understand climate change it opens up lot's of opportunities.

Try reading about NESF, someone as unintelligent as Slug would never invest.

Try understanding what they are about, and maybe just maybe you might make some money.

More lies Slug or are you just ignorant.

Battery technology is really advanced.

I have just over 200,000 shares on NESF.

If you knew about climate change you would be invested in this share

Growth potential is big and the 10% dividends aren't bad either.

It a rare find that pays a dividend every three months.

Slug you are even more unintelligent than I think.

Go back read the bit I said forget about the coal mines, as everyone who knows nothing about the subject mentions them.

Try reading what China is doing on climate change.

Let's work out if you are capable of reading.

I suggest you start by reading my original post and try to understand it.

Oh dear Slug I did advise you to read up about China and climate change.

Just made a complete fool of yourself.

Please try again, this time try breaking the habit of a lifetime and do some reading first.
