Yes, but is there a willingness to pay for the machines and what sorts of volumes would be expected?

Corac has never been particularly vocal about the opportunity with SS

[bullster] 16/2/2015 11:56

You won't find Corac's name embossed on the cast turbo housing or on the expansion vessel. Neither will it be printed in the glossy sales brochure that it runs on frictionless bearings, until the competition is left behind on the starting line. Out with the old and in with the new, technology to lower the carbon tax on industry and produce over £100,000's worth of free electricity per year. A little delayed to make a great impact on the '14 balance sheet but looking forwards to 2015.

Let me see,how would a trained professional describe this guy ? Oh I know "he's rip roaring mental"
A Glasgow expression,I think,but we can all agree that it does sum this clown up rather well.
With all the cut backs the staff don't have the time to make sure that the meds are taken properly and this guy obviously thinks it's smart to pretend to take them then spit them out later.
I hope he's in some sort of secure unit !!

Does anyone have thoughts on what the commercial outlook for the SS machines is?

Having a partner to manufacture them is one thing. Selling the end result is another

"Waiting", or holding news, may be in the terms, timmbo.

But you can almost hear P.C. counting the income already, going by his statement.



Corac Group Chief Executive Phil Cartmell commented:

"We are delighted to reach an agreement with Spirax Sarco to move towards the first commercial manufacturing of CET's technologies. This is a big step forward for the company and recognises the potential for these products on the global stage.


"It also rewards the hard work on both sides to bring such an innovative development project to this stage in less than two years. We look forward to building a long-term collaboration with Spirax Sarco and to the commercial gains that it will bring us both."

[timmbo] 15/2/2015 15:39

Spirax deal was a 'heads or terms ' agreement. ie they've agreed to possibly have a deal in the future though they are not sure about the scope of such a deal. We are still waiting...

I would have welcomed Corac to have handed the DGC over to Baker Hughes, to carry on the final development, as there wasn't far to go.

Corac could then receive royalties on sales, for licensing the interlectual technology.

As per the Spirax Sarco deal.

I see that the statement

"The same technology has been applied in gas production with a landmark test carried out during 2013 in Texas. Three compressors acting together as a multi-stage system ran for 140 hours, more than 6,000 feet underground, in a live gas well."

is in the text on hxxp://www.corac.co.uk/about-us/group-companies/cet/ .

Irrespective of the fact that many projects have been terminated they obviously feel that it's a key statement as I do. At the time PC said it was a "massive achievement".

[pavey ark] 13/2/2015 16:28

The mad rambling post from a person who has no position in Corac and has no intention of taking a position,long or short, was hard to take but it did have the compensation of being the last post we will have to trudge through as there can be no possible reason for him posting again ( unless that little voice in his head insists he shares his expert knowledge with us).

All this nonsense aside I had a look at the new website yesterday and was impressed.
I hadn't realised that there was a delay but as we can see they wanted to include Shaw SSM.
I must say it all looks joined up and ready to go.
Actually well under way right now.

[goatherd] 13/2/2015 12:10

Paulgo,

How refreshing to see you maintain the old standards.

Pity everyone doesn't.

[paulgo] 13/2/2015 11:54

Ah, so the_doctor says he's made a profit out of Corac LOL, must be true then!

I don't have a problem with him guessing it right, what I do have a problem with is him ramping when he's 'in' and deramping every time he sells out in an effort to spread fear among other investors.

I've bought and sold many stocks over the last 15 years, some have gone up from that point, others have gone down. It is human nature not to want to see a share price take off and leave you behind once you've made a decision to exit. However, one thing I've never done having sold, is frequent the bulletin board of that company to talk down its prospects in a bid to try and influence others to do the same. Call me old fashioned but I believe that is plain wrong.

He calls me dim, well if that were the case it would be preferable to the disingenuous hypocrite we all know him to be.

[the_doctor] 13/2/2015 11:29

Paulgo, there is guessing, knowing and something in between - an educated opinion built up out of facts, rational thought and probability


'he's now sitting on a huge (crystallized) loss here'
LOL
errrrr, I know you're dim paul, but how does that work?
I bought in low and sold higher up
Some also accuse me of shorting down from 10p, but I didn't so I wont claim that

I made a gain overall in the trades before getting out in 2012
I then made a gain from these more recent trades.
My entry and sale points were all clearly posted.

I actually feel rather sorry for you
- you seem desperate to pretend I didn't call this right
and now you're also trying to make out that rather than a gain, I made a loss... and a huge one at that.
It's baffling Paul, really.

Like I say, if you're going to attack someone for calling this wrong and losing money, perhaps try someone that can't prove otherwise!
Someone not unlike yourself.

I'll leave you alone, since you're clearly not quite all there

[paulgo] 13/2/2015 10:56

From the_doctor's post 82:

'Around 60% of Coracs stock is owned by 5 institutional investors, '

while sometimes a good thing, it isn't here'

--------------------------------------------

Sounds very much like an assertion to me.

He then went on to point out the reasons why they hold the stock, but we all know that. What he cannot verify is why it's a bad thing they still hold 60%... because there is no good reason.


He says he 'reinterpreted' the statements based on what dashcroft was saying and a few engineers leaving the company. For 'reinterpreted' read 'guessed'. He had to be guessing otherwise he would have been party to inside information.

There is no arguing about where the share price is today, (no need to guess that) so some might say the_doctor is a lucky guesser, but not that lucky, he's now sitting on a huge (crystallized) loss here.

[the_doctor] 13/2/2015 10:23

'He hasn't called anything right, he's guessed right.'

'lol', if you say so Paulgo
The fact is I gave full reasoning behind all of my views
Who are you trying to fool, seriously!???




'his assertion that it's NOT good 60% of Corac's shares are held by institutions'

I didn't assert it wasn't good
What I did was point out that it was simply the result of successive discounted placings


So in your eyes, if Corac issued a load of stock at 0.5p to raise funds and insts ended up with 95% of the company and the share price was 0.75p, that would be a good thing, right?
Comedy.

Well done Paulgo
While you've been criticising my views, the share price has dropped from over 10p, fallen to under 4p, rebounded a bit, then fallen further

As I say, your silly remarks are pointless given that anyone can say I called it down (for good reasons), called it up (again for good reasons) and finally, called it down again saying there was a risk the DGC and IGC would be dropped.

Think what you want, but you'll be fooling only yourself

double post

[paulgo] 12/2/2015 15:16

Still no verification from the_doc there for his assertion that it's NOT good 60% of Corac's shares are held by institutions. Hargreave Hale even doubled their holding recently....so we're obviously doomed!

He hasn't called anything right, he's guessed right......so far....and now the facts are out he purports to have known all along.

[the_doctor] 12/2/2015 13:37

Paulgo, I gave justified reasons for buying and selling. I only changed the overall view when events occurred.
Oil prices crashing 60% were one such factor!

If you adjusted your views as things evolve, you'd maybe do a bit better
I called this all the way down from over 10p
Bought the low suggesting it would rebound
Then sold before the next big drop

I was always negative about the DGC
The IGC, I was hopeful of, but I reinterpreted the statements after seeing dashcroft was correct in saying several engineers had left
I then said IMO there was a risk the DGC would be announced as discontinued, but that the IGC may also be.
That turned out right

Your silly remarks make no sense when I called this right!

[timmbo] 12/2/2015 12:10

Do the market makers want stock?
