I sent a secure message this morning saying "come on" I'm seriously thinking of moving my SIPP as they have a habit of holding onto cash, almost 2 months to add tax relief too!! C'mon!!! They are now taking the urine.
"Yes about ten people living on mars before brian cox dies. Hardly going to change the world is it."
Haha but yes that's exactly what it would do for those 10 at least lol.
News anytime soon I feel, fingers crossed for Kodal investors
There are some very clever people in the world don't underestimate the human race to come up with new solutions. The reference was to 2035, 12 years away, whatever they'll be, things won't be the same as they are now. My opinion is that EVs won't become the solution for everything they aren't very green anyway (to make, to power and to replace batteries) so other solutions will be developed. Kodal needs to fill their boots and our pockets before that happens.
Professor Brian Cox is 55 and he reckons people will be living on the moon or Mars in his lifetime and he doesn't even work for Toyota ; )
Keep your hair on FPV we have the same goal for Kodal to be successful in the current Lithium- rush. A client in the motor industry attended a BMW presentation several years ago, the presenter was picked up, by a driverless BMW 7 Series delivered to the BMW office and the car then parked itself in the car park, hardly your interpretation?? Where's the electricity coming from to charge all these new EVs and lastly, somehow I feel Toyota are most likely far cleverer than you
Apologies I didn't mean to make this an EV future discussion but you can buy Hydrogen powered cars now https://www.carwow.co.uk/guides/choosing/hydrogen-cars#gref not many granted but if you think the likes of Honda and Toyota and the Koreans aren't in to this already you need to smell the coffee. How quick has the whole EV thing developed I jut can't see there not being a better alternative long before 2035. I too will be 6ft under long before this becomes a problem. Kodal is IMHO perfectly placed to take advantage of the current craziness, I hope.
Being an out an out Petrolhead I've done plenty of research thank you, BMW have had a self driving car for several years now guided by military grade satellites which are precise to mm. As you say they (EVs) are too expensive now but if they were affordable where will everyone charge up? Not everyone has a drive and a socket to hand. The cost of putting the infrastructure in is mind boggling so I see EVs as a very short experiment that will be superseded by hydrogen or other synthetic fuel that Greta will like and won't kill the baby lambs.
I would like to see Kodal ride the wave obviously but all the major companies will be researching other alternatives so speed is the essence if you'll pardon the French pun.
I think long before 2035 the whole EV thing will have been canned as a failed solution and synthetic fuels will be cleaner than Evian. Where is everyone going to plug the feckers in for starters and we heard only this week the number of jobs Ford are shedding as a result of EV's needing far less components, e.g. you don't need an engine room anymore??
I'm in to Kodal heavily over 50M now so I'd really like them to make hay......
Much as I hope you're right Mercman, I can tell you from past experience there are no guarantees on AIM. I have a very large holding here and waste a lot of time working out what 1p, 3p 5p etc etc and beyond will yield but I'm just not that lucky.
Maybe this time??
If you claim it as a dividend the tax rates are NOT the same as income tax rates i.e.
The rates for 2022/23 will be as follows:
Basic-rate taxpayers pay 8.75%
Higher-rate taxpayers pay 33.75%
Additional-rate taxpayers pay 39.35%
There's also a tax-free Dividend Allowance of £2,000 per tax year and following the mini-disaster-budget the additional rate is being scrapped and the basic and higher rate will fall back by 1.25%
