Could be the huge push re banning single use plastics plus none recyclable which is mentioned in several media, also there looks to be great interest in the 'Plastic planet TV program' coupled with 'Plastic Watch' that is being talked about.

Probably more to today's rise than the above, but just look at the effect the 'Blue Planet' prog had.

It has also been hinted that several other countries that take other countries waste, could be following the decision taken by China re banning foreign waste imports.

Also of course the UK are looking to financially punish firms that could cut plastic waste but don't.

Powerhouse Energy could be timing things right, fingers and everything else crossed.

Hi SLove,

Intended to top up last Friday, but thought I would wait a bit (obvious mistake), hindsight is a wonderful thing.

As to never mentioning clients name, I have found this a common action when it comes to any security company, must be on the insistence of the client.

The company appears to progress more and more, year by year and it already looks like year 2018/19 will be the best yet.

I am looking at 2019/20 for this company to really fly.

Australia plans on generating 24% of electricity through renewable energy by 2020.

Energy officials from 25 European nations have pledged to back hydrogen technology.

The prospects of massive profits for AFC and their shareholders is obviously out there, it just needs the company to grab a share.

As we have often said on here, the main danger is that competitors that were several years behind are or have caught up.

The fable of the hare v tortoise is just that a fable.

Again as many have said, 1 year longevity for the fuel cell, turns into 2, then 3 ad infinitum.

Continual improvements are always good, but shareholders and potential customers won't wait forever.

AFC have to put out a state of play statement soon, as end of year is not that far away.

Market been opened now for 1 hour and yet there appears to be no trades.

Something strange happening out there, or just a question of everyone watching and waiting.

Hi Ipad,

One of many trials proved that many patients would be released from hospital sooner having shorter recovery times with also far fewer re-admittance's. In one report, can't remember which one as there are over 80 reports/trial results, it was shown that savings in both these areas, would pay for the product within 3 months (could be 4 as not certain).

There are no reasons that I can see, apart from the shortsightedness of NHS Trusts why the Deltex technology is not used in all hospitals.

Spend to save just does not compute with these organisations.

Just put Howard White and Stanelco into google, you may find it interesting.

Of course as this is the AIM nothing will happen to them.

Probably as politicians always say, It was not intentional, but an oversight.

Ignore the weird < > stuff, no idea why that came up in my post. Not intended to replace any inappropriate words.

No matter who argues what, the fact that we can not get away from is that end 2011 the sp was 74p, it closed last night at 7p. Even allowing for dilution that is nothing but a catastrophe.<br /><br />Yet unbelievably I like many still have faith in the product (not so much in past management), noit sure yet about the present management.<br /><br />I have see similar with other world altering products, where belief has followed the company into almost oblivion.<br /><br />As to commenting on someone posting for the first time, after 5 years of holding there could be many reasons. I have been holding since AFC floated, but only came on here to post less than 1 year ago.<br /><br />I was a prolific poster on 2 other platforms.

The NHS have a few units spread around the country, but as is typical with most public organisations in the UK they look to the bottom line on their balance sheet for the end of year, even if that means spending more to save over a longer period.

Interest in what can be saved, next year or following years is low.

You only have to read papers on how the NHS can save money by investing in longer time loaded innovations that would benefit not just patients but the whole NHS system, but they don't as the system of yearly budgets constrains them.

For that reason, it's far better to concentrate in countries where the private sector is king, such as the USA.

Private companies look at the bigger picture.

A broker would probably know if it was the same buyer, if it came via a previous place order, but a MM wouldn't.

Hi Santina,

Patience is OK but not infinite. I have been looking to the future over 10 years now as a Deltex investor, after so long patience is bound to wear thin.

Whilst it is always better to see buys outnumber sells in volume, I often feel that it is the price of these deals that required more attention.

Often buys are more than sells and the sp drops and the drop is more likely down to the price punters can get the shares at resulting in more buyers coming in.

Just read the results and they hold no real surprises and are what most of us expected.

My only real comment is the reduction in cost, and change of strategy, which looks like in just a few months has started to achieve what we all though was necessary, all since Andy Mears became CEO.

That change of leadership in the board should have happened far earlier.

Hi Riskybussiness1,

Your are indeed right. I remember that about 4 years ago they were touting that the product was almost commercially ready. AFC have been promising timelines for years that were well under estimated.

Whilst I feel that the corner is about to be turned, I have long looked at AFC corners as being more like those multiple corners that just go on and on and on and on (you get the idea)

I can't understand why most on here thought it would go up today and close higher.

It was very obvious which way the sp would go today, I Bought EarlyYesterday!!!!

Hi BumbleB,

I feel that they should shout about it, simply because other far newer to fuel cells companies, especially of the cheaper none platinum type are doing so.

Whilst I agree that it is industry that they should mainly aim their strategy at, it is often the power of the general public, especially on green issues that can motivate the industries that will become AFC customers.

One only has to look how the plastics industry and their customers have only just started to get their acts together, mainly because of one TV programme (planet Earth) which caused a public outcry.

The latest is Walkers Crisps, who have stated they will change all their plastic packaging by 2025.
A protest petition has taken off, so I should think that Walkers will not wait till 2025. I appreciate that packaging is not connected to AFC in any way, just using this as an example of people power.

I have even heard politicians talk about the expense of fuel cells due to the use of platinum and read several media articles which state the same issues, all within the last 2 to 3 years.

Surely over the last 3 years AFC could have shouted a bit louder about their product, after all they were obtaining MOU's several years ago, even regarding their final product.

The general public have for years condemned the pollution caused by energy production and yet here we have a green energy production system where the only by product is water.

Perhaps their quietness has allowed some less beneficial power providers to sell their products as recently as this year, whereas perhaps said companies would have stuck with their old systems, whilst waiting for the AFC system.

Of course that is only supposition on my part.

Try speaking to people about fuel cells and most people have not heard of them, and those that have probably have no idea of how effective they can be or their lack of pollution output (yes I appreciate they will probably fall asleep half way through).

Morning Babbler2,

Agreed, you only have to look at the bid and offer price at the time of the trades (reported late) and they were obviously buys.

When my trade went through, it was almost at the top of the offer price and although as a time reported trade, it was recorder as a sell.

Its yet another article noting that a new fuel cell has either been produced or/and in the pipeline, the new part being the use of 'none platinum'.

No doubt many out there without the knowledge of the AFC cell will think and believe that this is a new discovery, and yet as we all know, this was one of the main selling and lower production points of the AFC cell.

One thing that this article, like all the others re platinum use in fuel cells shows is that AFC are not getting their voice out there.

No doubt most companies that are AFC's main targets, know about the fact that the AFC cell does not use platinum, but on any 'greener' type issue such as hydrogen, fuel cell use, a major push to both companies and governments has to come from the general public.

It's now several years ago that AFC proposed to having found the holly grail regarding the fuel cell, so why are they so coy about finding it.

Apologies, mean't Blabler2.

Shame there isn't an edit button.

Blabber2,

It looks like I was wrong re the market cap, it has now been updated (no doubt due to the last days couple of uplifts in the sp) to 7.1 million.
