It takes years for any such tech to gain any traction and that's the problem GDR are at the very early stages and will find it difficult to sign deals and will be loss making for years to come . That's the problem loss making and will need substantial funds just to keep going .

What you fail to realise is the damage done now will affect its longer term potential if it actually manages to get there . There is no guarantee it has a future if it runs out of cash and if dilution keeps happening at low prices then as an investment it's destined to fail . Your looking so far ahead but this might not ever get there and that's your problem'

Outlook



Henry Boot is making good progress on a number of key transactions in both land promotion and development, and the business continues to expect full year results to be heavily H2 24 weighted.



Looking ahead, despite remaining cautious on the current trading environment, the Group remains well placed, supported by a solid balance sheet and a store of high quality opportunities in prime locations across all three of our key markets. This puts the business in a strong position to deliver a full year performance in line with market expectations* and to achieve our medium term strategic objectives.



*Market expectations being the average of current analyst consensus of £30.7m profit before tax, comprising three forecasts from Deutsche Numis, Peel Hunt and Panmure Gordon.

H​​̴3;​​R03;enry Boot (BOOT) operates at the racy end of the construction market. Most of its profits (a bit over half in most recent years) are generated from buying and selling land. What makes this racy is that the price of land is highly sensitive to the prevailing price of the buildings to be constructed on it, which in this case is mainly houses. However, countering the risk, Henry Boot is a conservatively run company with a strong track record. There’s also plenty of tangible value bound up in investment properties and a £209m strategic land bank. Barring an explosion (or implosion) in land values or planning regime activity, the company’s market price has a good anchor in the value of these core assets underpinned by the UK’s ongoing housing shortage.

Separately.

'For us, however, the excitement was in precious metals, especially Gold. On Wednesday, June 12, we issued a “Special Alert on Gold” to MMA subscribers, stating: “A break below Wednesday’s low of 2327 will be a set up for a reversal (high weighted value score). Even better if it holds Friday’s (June 7) low of 2304 and thus becomes a “Lendahl Wiggle” as a low risk/high reward possibility…. The ideal setup would be a secondary low Thursday (maybe even Friday morning), below 2327 but not below 2304.” Bingo! At 12:25 PM, June 13 (EDT), Gold dropped to 2310. By Friday, the next day, it was over 2350. Copies of this “Special Alert” are available to anyone who subscribes to any MMA reports (monthly, weekly, or daily). Even a one-month trial of the MMA Monthly Cycles report will qualify for both the special alert on Gold as well as the June MMA Cycles Report that was issued last week.'

The hope is that HSO are successful enough to raise the required $15MM for their full field plan, which will trigger the conditions to pay Quadrise for a license, and transfer of a Quadrise MSAR MMU to HSO's site in Utah so they can produce MSAR directly from bitumen they've extracted from the ground.

March 2024 so BEFORE the last RNS.


Annual results from Sheffield-based Henry Boot (BOOT:182p), a land development, property and construction company, reflect more subdued activity levels across commercial and residential markets and lower profits from property development activities.

The construction arm had a challenging year, trading well below expectations (operating profit declined from £12.1mn to £6.5mn). Two of the largest contracts – a £40mn build-to-rent (BTR) scheme and a £42mn urban development scheme – suffered delays and were hit by material shortages. In addition, the developer of a third project in Sheffield, a residential scheme, fell into administration, which resulted in building costs not being fully recovered. While management is actively pursuing larger projects with a contract value above £50mn, some of these opportunities are now likely to fall into 2025, so don’t expect a strong recovery this year.

Investor's Chronicle.
So conclusion is higher interest rates not good for it.
Interest rate reductions good .

23rd June trading update.





Thank you HPC.
The RNS was the initial reason for my interest.
There are always reasons why we invest or choose not to.
Interest rates could have an effect on share price.
However, seeing it's longevity over the years, I am trying to pick up a few here and there that I can one day pass on to family.

Each to their own.

The business has grown total homes sold since setting our medium-term objectives in 2021 by 109%. This year, reflecting 50% forward sales (2022: 56%) and what is anticipated to be a slowly recovering market, we have been marginally more cautious and expect completions to increase by 10% to 275 homes in 2024.25 Mar 2024

Alrt just wondering what your logic is. They are due to announce getting full accreditation from NICE in July which would be big news if they get it and so a likely bounce in the share price The mkt cap is 7.5m with 6m in cash and revenues ramping up. Looks like. A solid buy to me unless you have some actual facts to back up your one liners. I'd be interested to hear them

Nearly half of funds with ESG and sustainable terms in their names may breach new EU regulations, says research from Clarity AI.

Clarity AI found that 44% of funds using ESG and sustainable terms may need to change their name or divest assets. This comes following the announcement of new ESMA rules applying to any EU fund using an ESG or sustainability-related term in its name. The rules say that an asset manager using a sustainability or ESG term must ensure that a minimum of 80% of assets are used to meet the environmental and/or social characteristics or sustainable investment objectives of the fund. The rules also state that there should be no exposure to assets that breach the PaB exclusions.

Clarity AI analyzed 3256 EU funds that have ESG or sustainable related terms in their names. Of those funds, the vast majority are Article 8 funds (74%) with Article 9 representing 19% and Article 6 just 7%. Nearly half (44%) contained investments in companies that breach the Paris Aligned Benchmark criteria. 28% have exposure to multiple companies in breach of the PaB exclusion criteria.

Clarity AI also found that in terms of breaches of the PaB exclusionary criteria, nearly half (49%) of Article 8 funds with ESG or sustainable-related terms contain investments in companies with breaches, and around a third of Article 6 (36%) and Article 9 (29%) funds.

Nortel & Cisco's collapse in the 2000 Dot-com bubble.

Nortel used "vendor financing" where they loaned $ to customers so they would buy their products.
This is exactly what $NVDA is doing right now.





Hmmmm.

Here you can see I have traded these twice.
I was in them briefly in 2016/ 2017.

Then my next post was in November 2023 when I bought at 9p something.

We can hardly complain about the tiniest blip in the share-price,this has been storming ahead for some time!
We know why as well!
I think the general market is full of uncertainty though at present and Trump speaks tomorrow which will either send the markets roaring up ....or back so we will have to see.
