On its own I don't think there's anything too special about today's volume but when you add the context of Fridays trade, volume seems up to me. (As you pointed out ant).

I think they've changed the UI so you have to use a drop down to get Fridays trades now.

I don't think anybody mentioned the huge late trades on Friday, maybe it was too hot or we were all down the pub .

The 80k transaction looks to be part of something bigger, could just hedgies playing swapsie though

Gave me the fright of my life :-D

"Oh dear , and it's off " can be interpreted many ways when you've got a big deal cooking in the pot.

As you were, see y'all in a month or two.

?

In case it wasn't clear executive positions in companies attract sociopaths, great with charm but don't give a hoot about investors, if you've been investing down in the murky depths of Aim that should sound very familiar. ( I'm not counting hzm in this)

A little bit off topic but it's Saturday morning so what the heck.

Some careers are suitable for sociopaths. Politics is one , whether or not they're attracted to the role or they actually have skills that mean they do well at the role I don't know, I've not read up about it.

We're talking traits here though and statistical anomalies, the vast majority aren't.

Another role with sociopaths? I bet most seasoned aim investors can name one or two people they've suspected for legal reasons I won't name the potash related Aussie sociapath I have in mind.

Oh and traders as well ... It's very useful to be able to switch off emotion like a psychopath (again I'm talking traits and trends not saying everyone is a pyscho)

“Commodity prices are the last ones to fall in a recession.“

What about during stagflation? Open question, I don't know the answer

As far as renewables, ev sales and battery tech is concerned.

Number go up.

If that's your opinion funkster fair enough, keep an eye on china though with stimulus coming. I wasn't even aware they were in recession although I wouldn't have ruled it out given how they shot themselves in the foot with zero covid policy.

I suspect there's quite an appetite to wean off gas and oil considering it's been weaponised.

Wasn't the US health and climate bill given a boost yesterday finally getting Mitchams backing 40% reduction in carbon emissions etc it's not to be sniffed at and is very much the zeitgeist regardless of practically.

Whether or not they stuffed up the transitory period (I agree, take a bow German nuclear policy) renewables will be seen as the future.

I agree they dropped a big hairy ball on nuclear though, especially the Germans.

And now we have recession. A lot of people think this is chiming with the seventies (I wasn't around) what with an energy shock and stagflation, but this is a recession unlike any other, it feels like factors talked about for years are coming into play. We may feel poorer in the west as gdp falls but that doesn't mean the world is slowing down

1) Climate change and climate change policy will drive infrastructure spending
2) Demographics in the west and an aging population, labour is very much needed and in short supply. No mass unemployment
3) A shift in power from West to East, China despite it's problems might be an independent growth engine for at least a couple it economic cycle.

Thus far ... Of course we've still got time to turn this into a 2007 style crash.

The forum has no control over him. Have you tried addressing this issue directly?

Director buy

Noice

Thanks for checking, nice to know I've probably not gone totally insane, although hands up I did get tripped up by the waltz

I concur the directors breakdown is the anomaly.

It's the ambiguity of the English language.

Everyone is right.

They're free to grant, they're not free to take up.

I think you're right actually,

Apologies for my maths gibberish

In my defence the tables with the breakdown for each director have thrown me, could they be wrong?

It suggests 3 * 1,296,250 for JM when actually I think it should be

972,187.5
972,187.5
1,994,375

"The offer is to "flog" 25% of the options after 12 months at £1.68, another 25% of the options after 18 months at £1.72, and the final 50% of the options after 28 months at £1.76“

If that is the case I have totally misread the RNS and shall retire my account for the week

My 5% figure is wrong though it's probably closer to 4.5% I've read the wrong column in the original table the new awards total about 9 million shares.

My sums are based on prices of 25%, 25% and 50% is that wrong?

Because there is a table that shows the size of the allocation to be the full number of shares divided by three.

I.e for JM it will be 3 x 1,296,250

All this is actually assuming delivery and a full take up.

Overall they will be getting shares sold to them at 1/3 rd of the value at the time. Perhaps I shouldn't have use the word current. ( It would be current then but not now).

So 3 tranches ( a third each)

25 * .33 +
25 * .33 +
50 * .33 = 33%

So with 11 million shares being around 5% of current value ( I'm sure there's other outstanding dilution) we've decided to dilute by around 5% two thirds of which (3.3%) is for free in rewards

Whether or not that's reasonable is subjective, but if you think my maths is off I'm here to learn can you show me where I've gone wrong?

My maths is slightly off

A third at 25%, A third at 25% and a third at 50% is 33.33 percent.
