Hi BumbleB,

Agree, but almost just as big a problem is the posters that reply to him/her.

Eckoh today purchased 248,824 Ordinary Shares in the capital of the Company to hold for the shares incentive plan, at 60.39p.

Nice to see a company purchasing the shares, instead of the usual issuing more.
Also good to see the purchase price at little or no discount.

Works out at less than £30,000 in total, so not a large amount.

But any amount must prove worthy, so if it does incentivise those receiving to 'get on with the job', that's fine, but if its an incentive to stay with a company that they are considering leaving, IE a bribe, not so good.

Still believe the company has a great future, but we investors also need an incentive to stay invested, so a decent contract in the near future will do.

Great find Cigna12345,

I would have thought worthy of a RNS.

Not moaning though, as such a prestigious award must pay dividends in publicity meaning further contracts.

Well done Eckoh.

Fully agree Newboy58,

Whats the point of filtering someone if others continue to mention his/her posts. For goodness sake give it a rest and lets get the board back to where it was, as its not worth reading at the moment. Even valued posters appear to be taunted into replying to these idiots. Wont post on here again until it returns to a thread worth reading.

Where were all these posters a few weeks ago before the sp shot up.

Self interest for posting now perhaps!!!!

Eadwig,

Fully agree, I mean't to start my last post with 'As Eadwig states', as we appear to be thinking along similar lines.

My opinion for what its worth.

I was involved in sales many years ago.
My remit was for small to medium volume sales, but whereas I was occasionally initially involved with potentially large scale volume customers, I then passed as a lead, that customer to another sales team, not just because those sales people has the authority to negotiate far higher volume deals, but because they had the means/connections to negotiate with those at the top of these companies, winning and dinning as it was called, and no matter what some people think in this modern compliance, anti-bribery/inducement world still happens.

My point is that I feel the AFC sales team will look after the £1,000 pocket change clients, with De-Nora dealing with any of the big boy £1,000,000 plus clients.

A single share buy is often just a test buy, by the market.

I appreciate there are a few electric buses around in the bigger cities, but I have seen my first.

I live out in the sticks of East Yorkshire and saw my first fulling electric bus, it was a community transport bus run by the council, so not doubt there will be more to follow.
Obviously very quiet and clean, not like all those obnoxious polluting diesel busses that we usually see, one of which drops of and collects children from our local school, stationary with it's engine ticking over to keep the inside warm whilst waiting for its passengers, gassing everyone who walks past.
Hydrogen/Electric vehicles, especially Buses/Coaches and HGV's have to be the future following on by Shipping and as they are already testing, air transport.

No one likes to see a sp drop of 13% (yesterday) even if that results after a short burst from just short of 5p to a tad over the current price of 19p, its purely a psychological effect.

I doubt we will see the sp back to 25p till we get the type of RNS we have been waiting for, IE De Nora warranty or even better a contract. I doubt a contract will precede the warranty issue, but I do think one will quickly follow the other.

i missed out yesterday, as I was contemplating a bit of profit taking, intending to buy back in at a lower price, but I decided not to chance such a move. I do though think that most of the sp dip has been caused by profit taking which naturally caused a bit of panic selling.

So good luck to those sellers who timed it right, but at the moment I will leave my investment sitting/waiting for that truly sp bursting announcement.

First, thanks to SprogBarnes.

A great find and good read.
This is a sales brochure with dates of product availability.

Modular H-Power system H-Power L20 available Dec 2019, H-Power L 160 available June 2020, H-Power L 400+ (note the plus) available June 2021.

Almost as good as a product ready for sale now RNS, as that is what the brochure is stating, so warranty surelly assured along with manufacture sorted.

Once potential customers see these dates, any doubt re readiness/availability is surely vanquished.

My 'only' criticism of the new web site is the news, it states latest news, it starts in January 2019 then progresses down to May 2019 news news, would be best if the latest news release was at the top.

Whilst agreeing that a RNS re a new web site is not as exciting as a contract RNS, web sites are often dismissed as being just a front to a company, but in today's IT instant world, a companies web site is the first port of call for many people, from future investors to potential customers (just put any company into Google to prove a point).
A web site is today's shop window, but not just to those walking past but to those zillions looking into that window via all media channels, so well done AFC (after much prodding), better late than never.

Hi Lucky,

But it could just be correct as with a climbing sp producing more sells than buys, the mm's could be on instructions to chase shares availability and with profit taking, it looks like its working.
Appreciate you don't see similar very often, usually it occurs before a big jump, I use the word usually as I have seen sp's follow such behaviour by falling off a cliff. Don't think that applies here though.
I I had to guess the next sp zooming RNS it will be on the licencing angle.

I think tomorrow is anyone's guess, from a sp zooming up RNS, to no RNS and profit taking.
All I am certain about, is that to sell now would be taking a huge gamble.

Yes, it may go down a few percentages tomorrow (profit taking), but I would not be that bothered as the sp for mid December, end of year is the one to watch.

Exciting, but nail biting times ahead!!!!!

Hi Blueboy310,

Its when the market makers can't keep up with buys and sell pricing. When that occurs the ask price is lower than the bid, so technically you can buy at a price lower than you can sell. The auction is set so that the market makers can adjust to the anomaly, meaning no one can buy into or out of the share and shares can be traded internally only.
As someone else mentioned, it is more unusual at the end of the trading day than at the start, also to be in auction as long as this time, either it is taking a lot of sorting out, or more likely the ticker prices have not caught up.
I appreciate that is not a technical explanation, but to me its a fuller explanation than the official one IE 'Auctions are used in many markets throughout the world to open and close stock markets, as well as a way to re-start the market if a stock has been halted due to a volatility interruption. A volatility interruption can happen if a stock moves too much too quickly, triggering an automatic circuit breaker'

idg69,
Sometime as brave a move as holding, but I would have thought you might have sold a percentage rather than completely out, but as someone else said, best of luck.

Hi jgbb123,

Fully agree.
My post was an observation on the difference in using insider knowledge to blatant insider trading.

Hi Richlist,

Its always the way that when you work for a company in a position with access to all of whats going on, you will always have a better insight than an outsiders even if all the 'facts' are out there.
With innovative companies like AFC, once a corner is about to be turned it would be difficult to be not advantaged by the feel within that company.
If things go to plan, hopefully with corners getting bigger to turn over the next few years, it would be difficult for any insider not to have an investment advantage, meaning that insiders like Rennocks would find it almost impossible to buy/sell shares without using insider knowledge.
If he had bought knowing 100% that a contract or similar sp zooming news was about to be released, I think that would be the only obvious insider trading.
That is why his but and any other inside company buys, sends to me a great big signal that we are about to enter one of those sp zooming corners.
I appreciate would have as much or probably more investor knowledge than I, but that my thoughts.
Regards Rooky
