modest trading still

[spaceparallax] 27/4/2011 16:32

sad but true - I'm not sure whether my shares cost me 80 or 81p, but it shows the value of placing a keen Buy limit, having been quoted 84p C3.30pm

What I'm most intrigued to find out is the plans that the Company has for growth, whether through E expansion or an oblique approach aimed at growing the profit margin.

Don't worry, this share has never traded consistently, comes from being listed
on AIM, completely unrelated to the retail USA shareholder.

The only certainty is that the SMART money is now on GTL,
given the size of the insider holdings, of institutional buyers
in particular, taking the total well past 80%.
Such is the elasticity of the demand and supply curve, the share price will
react with volatility downwards and upwards when low volumes apply.

When demand is gone, the price falls gradually to meet the level of stock
the mm's have acquired.

As soon as demand appears, the price rockets quickly back to it's
previous high!!!

The mm's take their profits first and then you get to share some!!!

Just placed a buy order for 5K@81p - normally guaranteed to stop the rot!

Or maybe not!

[spaceparallax] 27/4/2011 13:42

That's what baffles me about today's selling - someone offloaded recently @79.5p. Madness!

Bumper profits on the way next month, followed by
another significant reduction in debt!!!

I'm surprised that, with the YE update imminent, we're seeing a few holders selling out.

The Ethanol industry looks like being a world beater...so many derivatives and now derivative once produced can be re sub,itted into the E manufacturing process
to make more ethanol...and round and round it goes!!!

this new GPRE process will get the juices of all existing
100 gallon plants positively dripping!!!

GPRE CEO Todd Becker commented on the uniqueness of the project and its potential to transform the ethanol industry during his speech at the event. "What we are accomplishing today is showing the world that not only does carbon have value, but that carbon and other byproducts from this ethanol plant can create a product that will give Americans food, feed and fuel," he said.

When the project was launched three years ago, it was assumed there would be significant market demand for the algae end products by the time bioreactors could produce at a commercial scale, he said. However, the project has advanced so rapidly that it has reached commercialization faster than markets could be developed. Therefore, GPRE and others have now taken on the role of product developers as well. Becker said they are currently developing markets to utilize the algae biomass as animal feed, as an ingredient for the pharmaceutical industry and for renewable fuels production. This includes biodiesel and ethanol. He noted that testing is currently under way to determine the viability of sending the algae directly to refineries to produce biofuel and they are also receiving promising results on tests to produce ethanol from the algae.

As a testament to the project's rapid advancement, BioProcess Algae CEO Tim Burns announced during the event that engineering for the project's first commercial algae farm has been completed and a groundbreaking is planned "within a few days." The farm will also be located at the Shenandoah ethanol plant site. The company had previously announced it wasn't planning to construct the commercial algae farm until next year.

Calling it a "remarkable project," Vilsack noted four components contributing to its success during his speech. "There is obviously significant investment in this facility," he said. "It's going to be important for us to continue to look for ways to bring capital into the rural parts of this country. We do this by focusing on the second component, which is innovation. That's what attracts investment. It's also about networking. It's not just about one company; it's multiple companies working together. And it's also multiple industries. This is great because we've got 400 facilities across the country that are producing ethanol and biodiesel, and we want those kinds of marriages." The fourth component, he said is a "sense of place." Rural America is not afraid to embrace ethanol and the citizens understand agriculture and its ability to provide diverse opportunities, such as what is being accomplished in Iowa at Shenandoah, he said.

The commercial-scale bioreactors officially unveiled during the grand opening began operating in February. It is the second phase of a two-part project that began with the operation of smaller-scale reactors in October 2009. The $11.5 million project has received $4 million-$2 million for each phase-in assistance from the state of Iowa through its Iowa Power Fund grant program. BioProcess Algae's end goal is to license its algae production process to existing ethanol producers.

There is a life after E for automobiles!!!

The prospect is of GTL,converting corn to ethanol, for
the purpose of manufacturing food ingredients, only.

And an ensuing business that bypasses the current debate!!

Ethanol Futures Decline to Two-Week Low on Record Stockpiles
By Mario Parker - Apr 14, 2011 10:15 PM GMT



Ethanol futures in Chicago declined to a two-week low in Chicago a day after the Energy Department reported record inventories of the fuel.

The gasoline additive slumped after stockpiles rose 2.3 percent to 20.5 million barrels last week. Ethanol is blended with gasoline to stretch supply and meet federal mandates.

"There's definitely some pressure in the front-month," said Jim Damask, a manager at Biofuelsconnect, a Heathrow, Florida-based alternative energy broker. "There's too much in storage. A lot of tanks are full so people are selling the front months, May and June, aggressively."

[caveat_emptor] 14/4/2011 14:17

We got a "year end update" on 9-4-2010.

I wonder if we will get the same this year, in advance of
June's results?

"Caveat_Emptor
Hard to understand how this company is still only worth £28 million. Can anyone suggest why this is?"

I can provide my reasoning. I sold out a couple of months back because margins were poor yet the share price reflected a reasonable return. This proved unfortunate timing just before the oil price jumped due to middle eastern unrest.

Since then margins have improved from poor to average. However for me a big question mark hangs over medium term results, the probability that the oil price (and therefore ethanol)will fall back to more sustainable levels. If this happens margins will be squeezed back to low levels and the share price too.

Zein might be a wonder solution but I cannot give it much value without more information.

I will stay on the sidelines for now may be back when the share price falls back.

US program seeks to increase use of E-85 fuel

By MICHAEL J. CRUMB
More from BusinessWeek


DES MOINES, Iowa

U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has announced an effort to increase the production and use of a higher blend of ethanol fuel.

Under the plan announced Friday, the federal government will offer financial incentives for gas stations to install more pumps that provide gas blended with 85 percent ethanol.

Vilsack says the goal is to add 10,000 flex-fuel pumps across the country over the next five years.

I know what you mean, sell out and in no time at all they're hitting £4 !!

Can anyone suggest why this is?

Eggs cello!!!
I read buyer this morning of any shares under 90......
mm did deal....now has to find shares to cover.
Buyer stays out of market until the book is levelled out.
he'll be back at or under 90...unless something happens
that made him buy the half million or more at or under 90.

GTL are already on record as planning a significant move....
the zein protein was a gorgeous filler...while we wait for the
real news!!!
