I just hope your right

I agree with you multi, it use to me be mopping up a few shares here but I haven't purchased any for sometime now, I waiting for it to start moving up this time before topping up more.

I doubt it. I guess Griffiths are reducing as he, like many of us, are tired of waiting. On top we don't get any updates from the company, and I understand that it could bring a certain frustration forward.
Actually I would rather see the positive of this. They have unloaded some 4 mill shares in the market without seeing the price drop, that would not have happened half a year ago. We are clerly geting nearer some action imo.

Multi no comment on the Recent RNS then, obviously not a good thing maybe they know something we dont!

Very interesting to see that most everyday some trade is reported after the close at a slightly lower price than what was traded in the auction at close.
I wonder if LSE ever take a look at manipulative reports. It is clear to me that someone somewhere is paying someone to keep a lid on this. I love it, although I find it strange that our company does't seem to have the slightest interest in the closing price, or do they ?

Who knows, maybe this could be the salvation for Smith:

A purchaser or purchasers (from Denmark?) has or have bought 1.1 mio shares at 13p. This also means that a seller or sellers has or have sold 1.1 mio shares for 13p. Is this siginificant? Probably not.

WTF is going on? is it BS?

[dave224] 06/12/2016 13:25

[steveglobal4] 06/12/2016 13:02

[steveglobal4] 06/12/2016 13:01

[steveglobal4] 05/12/2016 23:32

The topic may be old but the financial update of penalties seems new.

[multiplural] 04/12/2016 21:17

This only underlines that it will be a pleasant surprise if we ever see any value from it. The topic of the article is, as you obviously are aware, old news.

- that's if they ever get beyond paying off fines and penalties:


PORT MORRIS — An electric car company in the South Bronx short-circuited when it declared bankruptcy and owes the city more than $400,000, according to a recent lawsuit.

Smith Electric Vehicles Corp. entered into a contract with the city's Industrial Development Agency—part of the Economic Development Corporation—on Aug. 1, 2012 to renovate a 90,000-square-foot building and two 5,000-square-foot vacant lots at 275-295 Locust Ave., which the company was supposed to turn into a facility to design, make, sell and repair electric vehicles, the lawsuit says.

The company filed for bankruptcy in October 2012, roughly two months after entering into its contract with the city, according to court documents.

The IDA claims it went through all the proper financial reviews of the Kansas-based company before signing the nearly half-million-dollar deal and found the company financially sound, Stephanie Baez, an EDC spokeswoman said.

Smith was required to complete the project by Jan. 31, 2014. But when a project manager from the EDC visited the facility on IDA’s behalf on Oct. 31, 2013, he found that no construction appeared to have taken place and no workers were present, according to court documents.

“A security guard confirmed that the facility was empty inside and that he had rarely seen anyone at the facility,” city lawyers claim in the suit.

The IDA tried to get in touch with Smith Electric Vehicles four times between October 2013 and January 2014, but the company never responded, according to court records.

The city then sent the company a letter on Feb. 12, 2014, noting that they had defaulted on their lease and owed the city about $150,000 as of Feb. 1, the suit claims.

Interest on that amount has continued to accrue since then, and Smith Electric Vehicles now owes the city more than $400,000, according to court papers.

The site where the electric car facility was supposed to be has since been turned into the third New York studio for Silvercup Studios, a company that has worked on movies including “When Harry Met Sally” and television shows including “The Sopranos.”

Smith Electric Vehicles did not respond to a request for comment, and the New York City Law Department declined to comment on the suit.

It is my understanding that Smith , unbelievable, is still alive and breathing. So the chances that our holding actually have some decimated value exists. And as it has been writtn down to zero, it can only be a pleasant surprise if it ever materializes.

All to late I fear for (Tanfield) Smith - but what a wasted opportunity

I wouldn't be surprised if adhern now has the money hedged for the 49 percent, something has moved the volume up the last few days. And pound is starting To look like its recovering

I guess if the funds has now been hedged for this reason (I have no idea) surely it should be declared as someone must know and if it has been done and it's leaked it would have to be rns ed.

[steveglobal4] 01/12/2016 04:57
