Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Perhaps there is a feeling that management/board won't want to hold the meeting next week with some good news to share. Just a thought - no evidence.
Trade of 53 shares. The explanation *may* be this:
- Shares are in an ISA and are held by a manager as a nominee account
- There is a periodic charge for managing the ISA
- The periodic charge is usually lifted from a small cash balance in holders the account
- The cash balance has become depleted
- The manager has exercised the right to sell shares to cover the periodic charge
But it may be something else completely...
Re potentForce. I'm interested in that too! My (not too educated) guesses go like this:
The two 130 000 GBP ones may be the same trade ?SETS shows them twice? An the 135 616GBP was close to the mid price at the time so may have been between MMs?
In any event they didn't move the SP much - not sure of the significance of that, but probably not dumping shares.
re 568
My general rule is not to feed trolls, but I have made an exception...
"VRB is still experimental laboratory type technology"
800MWh is an awful big laboratory (Dalian, China)
"it will be by larger players like larger players like Sumitomo who have a much larger presence."
Yes, perhaps a larger but not an exclusive presence. If fact, their presence will validate the concept and make it an easier sell.
I hold shares, which I bought way back and are under water currently.
Isn't IES the same company as RedT? Isn't it just that they have rebranded the product. So talk of booking orders "before the company existed" are incorrect.
Isn't is normal to employ financial consultants for restructures such as mergers and isn't normal for them to be rapaciously expensive?
I have no problem with the conduct of the company: what is important at present is survival and cash is key to that. I expect there will be more dilution before we reach the sunlit uplands. I rate profit to be of much lower importance in the short to medium term.
Don't knock him - at least he posts some news
Down here in the far southwest of UK one problem seems to be that wind and solar stress the transmission network, particularly on sunny windy days, which occur quite often. This would seem to call for smaller generation and storage units sited closer to user areas. Rather than continuing with the very centralised 20c model of hundreds of MW on one site.
Thanks bobf, for organizing share prediction game (and badgering for entries!). Looks like a mean of 17.7 and median 15.1 so much less skewed now it has more entries. Very interesting snapshot of sentiment.
I am slightly embarrassed that folks might think I am posing as a trader, still less a super trader, for asking for the median. It's just that the median gives a better idea of the center of a range with a skewed distribution, such as this one.
Bobf, I guess you have the predictions in a spreadsheet and I am old and lazy. May I trouble you for the median value please.
28 if it's free
I think pinecone's 22 GBX may be modest. If this share goes, it will go big. It is the only game in town - well, the only game outside China. Circumstances are turning to Redt's favor. The way Narec described Redt"s offering in the Sark energy regulator"s report was a clincher for me. Put me down for 27 GBX.
Yes, it would. But you shouldn't create an opportunity for an academic to explain anything.... Fortunately this is not the right forum.
For what it's worth (much simplified): Blockchain is a sort of distributed database, a list actually, to which all participants have _read_ access. They can only _write_ _new_ entries - not change existing ones. This is all guaranteed by a cryptographic protocol. Typically, but not essentially, there is no master copy - all the participants check each other.
Such a setup would allow e.g. real-time "trading" of energy surpluses and deficits. Blockchain would ensure that transactions are authentic and non-repudiatable.
There is no failure: not yet anyway and we won't be able to judge for quite a while. As for salary - it doesn't seem OTT to be midwife to an innovative product, with a complex business model, in a conservative marketplace.
There is a guy along the road cladding a shipping container with wood and adding windows and doors to make a "garden room" (I assume). Not sure he has much capacity to expand though...
