Thanks Noodles.

In case it's of any use to anyone, as well as TRI, I've been shoving money into OCG, IQE, CAR and AVCT.

Thanks for the welcome. I am in the middle of weeding out stupid mistakes and applying reality to my portfolios. Difficult job, but someone has to do it. If either of you people (avoiding the gender thing) can briefly explain "retained earnings deficit" and how it affects a company, if at all, I would really appreciate it. Thanks. Wishey. Off out for a root canal jobby now. What fun!

I had been looking for a share to replace a dead duck in an ISA, so I picked this one up from Robbie Burns. Had a good look through it and it looks in a very strong position even though the world is in the doldrums, so I bought some and could well buy some more. No fireworks, just steady progress. What a gem!

This has overcooked slightly, but all reports( thanks 1LEO) seem to confirm that OCG could rise to any level over the next few years starting in March. At the moment I feel that the sp can go as low as it likes, it just provides a last chance to buy at a reasonable price before things really get going. Interesting times!

Yes I agree, and there are plenty of applications for OCG's smaller units where linc cannot compete. Very exciting times, and Abramovich knows it.

I would stay put. Although there is a drop today I am not selling. The potential here is considerable although some of that is built into the price already. As more orders are won I see this just going up and up. Everyone to their own, if you need the money now, take a profit, you've earned it buying wisely in the first place.

I share your enthusiasm for Avacta and believe that the company has a very bright future, but I do feel that your timescale needs a little work. Avacta describes itself as a consumables and equipment manufacturer, but to sell consumables you first have to have equipment in the field that uses them. AX-1 has the potential to use lots of consumables, but it is still on field trials, hopefully to be fully launched soon. I haven't heard of any new Optim sales recently however I could be wrong there. The Aptuscan Technology has to be licensed out, which as far as I know hasn't happened yet. I have heard nothing more on the Pall/ Avacta joint project. I think that it was EVO that had the license for the diabetes breath test technology, nothing there. I don't think that we will ever learn any more of the distance gas analysis equipment developed for the MOD. I also believe that Avacta has yet to make a profit. So bearing in mind that my up to date info is fairly scant, I doubt that AVCT will reach its full potential this week. Having said that, I would love to be proved wrong as I have a few mil of these shares. Bye the way, if anyone does have up to date info I'm sure we would all like to see it.

AFC is into low cost fuel cells rather than catalysts. It's working towards turning by product hydrogen eg.from chlorine production, into electricity, but more importantly, in the long term, employing underground coal gasification to produce hydrogen for fuel cell power generating plants. It is quite some time since I looked into AFC, but there's plenty of info on the website. An interesting prospect is a company called Cambridge Carbon Capture that is developing a way of taking the co2 from UCG and securing it in Silica to form building materials, totally green coal utilization.

Abramovich bought into AFC Energy around last October. Thank goodness I was in there before him, although it has cooled a bit since then.

Lot of research needed though, but a very informed board.

SCLP was handy though!

Don't be sorry a100, you have made a good financial move which will put you in a better position to buy back should you wish to and don't be afraid to take a loss. It took me a long time to admit that one. Too many people get sentimentally attached to their shares and forget that they are there to make money. There will be more moments like today's as I believe that AVCT will continue to improve commercially, so keep an eye on it.

It's a bad Idea to deal before 9.00am unless you are selling. Although I am over the moon to see AVCT go up, I doubt that it will stay there at this level especially as it's only a recommendation rather than hard financial gains that have sent the sp northwards.. It's always worth waiting until the excitement has died down and the sp has settled. You have made a good move by buying AVCT, but your timing needs a little work.

Thanks for that CP22, nice find. I've held quite a lot of these for a long time so maybe now we can reap some rewards for our patience.

Nice way to spend your day off. We're retired on the North Norfolk coast, not as good as the fells though. I didn't invest in CCVU, but it's on the cards. Idox looks interesting also, so it's going to be a bit of research for me. The new year looks very interesting and as the world didn't end yesterday perhaps the fiscal cliff won't happen either. Have a good one. wishey.

I think you are right. The potential here is enormous, even though there is competition, OCG has the upper hand and I believe that the MMs will continue to ease the price up knowing that OCG will hit the headlines sooner rather than later. I am certainly loading up while they are still at this price.

Take a look at OCG, you might like this one.

Yes I've just been though the NT site, as I always do, and looked at these. I have come to the conclusion that RB has been right all along and that dealing in minnows is not a good idea, so I shall be looking at these tomorrow, although I expect the price to rise a little first thing.

This couldn't have happened at a better time. It gets the inevitable placement out of the way and drops the sp so that I can buy some more at a good price. Great share, but I wouldn't go as far as humping it. Mmmm, I don't know though.
