The Fool, as most here will appreciate, should be taken with a very liberal pinch of salt. I invested in Rolls-Royce in 2023, I bought in at £1.50. The Fool, would regularly, publish it's oxymoronic articles during RR meteoric rise. I think of it more like reading the Beano or The Dandy!

@LuckyLaurie Love it! I sing this in a crooner set with my band buddies...a great start to the weekend 👍

Indeed, Plug, Bloom, Ceres...are all on fire 🔥 this afternoon!

@Eastwood Thanks, that makes sense.

Can you expand on that Bilbo?

Cheers

Here's the news about it:

The contract was signed in July 2025. Today's news confirms that the FID has been reached. Construction is expected to start this summer.

Cheers 👍

That's positive that he's mentioned ITM. Do you have the link for the original article? I did wonder where everyone has been this weekend, as it's been so quiet here...but of course, it due to the Eurovision Song Contest! 🤣

Morning @hairydavey, I couldn't open the link. But I've done a search and this is all related to wind power. ITM doesn't appear to be involved, unless I'm missing something?

Hairydavey, I hope you're right 😉

@Eastwood Thanks for that 👍

161.09p is today's closing price

Well, we that's a nice rise!

ITM is up 7.3% on the US market today.

Morning all, here's the link. Interestingly, they've also upgraded Ceres from 480 p to 920 p. I don't hold any Ceres shares, so no attempt to ramp. I think it's an obvious reflection of their view of the hydrogen sector.

Hi all, I've been here since early 2022. Thankfully only invested £5 k. I should have sold at 61p, but as with these type of stocks, there was a lot of hype. I knew it was high risk, I've just sold out. About 50% loss, but a fraction of portfolio value. I been invested in ITM power, which is going through an exciting time, so I'll top that up. All the best e👍

When I was an IFA, I used to use Fidelity's suite of investments for some of my clients. When it came time to set up my own SIPP and ISA accounts, it seemed a good & natural fit to use their products for my own investments. They're not the cheapest but neither are they the most expensive. I've found both their SIPP & ISA products very easy to use. If I sell a share, the funds are immediately available to invest in aanother one. If I want to withdraw cash from my ISA, from sale, to it landing in my bank account is normally about 5 days. For withdrawal from the cash section it's around two days. I haven't gone into drawdown from my SIPP yet, so I can't comment on that aspect of my investments.

@Momentum5 You may well have a point, whilst the hydrogen sector is attracting a lot of attention just now, it is quite nuanced, as evidenced by the variety of processes that different companies employ. ITM certainly is in the driving seat from a number of metrics. The SP will move at different speed and magnitudes depending on what drives it. The day the Rheinmetall deal was announced it popped 42%, since then we've had some double digit days with no RNS. These are exciting times to be investing in what was once regarded as an "avant-garde technology", but is now transitioning into a clearly scaleable product with wide real world applications.
