Skipper -take stock or get paid in stock?

How can producing recommendation research notes on stocks you hold be regarded as independent advice free of any conflicts of interest ?

I think you need to re-visit this and the fact remains, and is indisputable as it is on record, that Align's track record is appalling by any measure. Go check out the 2018 conviction top 10 list and see how they performed - its a train wreck.

At the end of the day they get paid by the company which is subject of the research note , which just about says it all.

It's pretty close to bordering on deliberately mis-leading but the regulatory authorities seem to turn a blind eye to such tactics.

They actually take stock in all the companies they recommend lagosboy:

Our Philosophy
Within the investment landscape there are always conflicts of interest. Interests that can be at odds with each other. For example, within the research sphere, notes are typically produced by the house broker, the company’s Nomad, or are paid for (usually in cash) via so called “independent” research providers.

As industry professionals with decades of experience in the stock markets, headed up by highly qualified individuals from both fund management and analytical backgrounds, we have learnt the hard way just how each vested interest can work against the end investor’s interest.

For instance, where a note is produced by the broker to a company it is almost without exception that a “Sell” rating is never issued. In essence, parties are not going to bite the hand that feeds them. Regulation has tightened up in this area in recent years so that these inherent conflicts are disclosed. However, the universe of “tied” broker notes is generally questioned by fund managers and seasoned investors.

Similarly, traditional “paid for” research providers are remunerated almost exclusively in cash and so the end result with regards to stock price movements, post the production of the research note, is largely of little consequence to these firms. They still get paid.

It is from this background and landscape that ALIGN Research was borne. Our USP’s are thus 3 fold:

We approach only those companies that we actually BELIEVE in. We don’t take all and sundry onto our books on the basis of preparedness to pay. Belief in the investment case is our sole criteria in selection.

We actively look to take payment almost exclusively in the company’s equity or apply payment to purchasing the equity of the covered company. This of course ALIGNS us with both the company (existing shareholders and management) and new investors that act upon our research notes. If we are wrong in our analysis we suffer the same fate as the covered company's shareholders.

We also propose “Conviction Sell” recommendations on certain companies where we feel the shares are a good short opportunity and, where applicable, openly disclose our position in such a candidate.

You can see just how the Align Research offering is a complete breath of fresh air on the investment landscape. Completely transparent, in depth research produced only on those companies that we are prepared to hold and in many cases, actually put our own additional capital into - in contrast to almost every other research house operating today. We view our proposition as a complement to a covered company's existing research offering with our audience focused particularly on "Retail" investors through our open access platform. Finally, we are also completely aligned with those investors acting upon our recommendations."

Barely buy any!

Slowly heading back to 0.3p......

[juju44] 29/1/2019 13:12

Yep , like I said ... contrarian .Starting to look like party over here . Always was unlikely but the gambler in me drove me to take a small stake

[tsmith2] 29/1/2019 13:08

On most. A few times they are however onto a good one

[juju44] 28/1/2019 15:03

Align are a contrarian signal . Worse than useless

[vatnabrekk] 28/1/2019 15:00

That's what the "Penny Share" guide used to say 40 odd years ago - when it doubles, sell half. Then when it double again, sell another half. And so on...

I fail to understand what is the point in producing hydrogen from oil in order to provide cars with "green" fuel. They don't say how much CO2 is produced in the process of manufacturing hydrogen from the oil or gas, but if is anything like the steam methane reformation process then it is massive.

[juju44] 28/1/2019 12:49

What a horrific record . These guys are the kiss of death

good - pleased to hear some realistic comment from the longs rather than the normal blue sky nonsense

Good luck to you all but you know my view.

[linesal2] 26/1/2019 18:12

intellectual property filing would be a nice start.

[vatnabrekk] 26/1/2019 17:49

Well, as I stated above, it's time that we had an update on progress and a timeline for the first commercial unit. And yes lagosboy, I am only too aware that before they can build the first unit they need to get all of the various permissions and sign the lease. That's the first items on the list that I would like to hear about.

[linesal2] 26/1/2019 16:44

I will give it some more time as i'm still 35%+ at the minute. but I will come out if it hits my lower target.

[lagosboy] 26/1/2019 15:51

No Update = No Progress

Next Update = Placing

Phe been in the ame holding pattern for years

Why no update on MOU with Quarter (announced Sept 2017) to provide hydrogen buses for the World Cup - let me tell you why, because its all just a load of old flannel jkust like the C-Operation Agreement with Phe Americas in 2016.

Where's the update on the planning permission at Protos so they could break ground and get cracking building the first commercial size unit? I remember all the excitement about it on here, just like the hydrogen buses in Romania but nothing ever happens.

As for Toyota, you can forget that-its a pipe dream- Toyota will be happy to talk to anyone about hydrogen production but they have inhouse access to the best scientists and engineers that money can buy so they will build their own gasifier if they like the concept. They don't need Phe and they would never place reliance on Peter Bond's Ore-Pro's engineers recommissioning of the unit.

This really is becoming a very sad story - misallocation of resources is why so many solutions to the world's problems are starved of funding.

[linesal2] 26/1/2019 14:53

There is not just Toyota there is the 6 major waste operators in the UK that we have had zero feedback on.Must admit there are several companies I am looking at and considering whether to halve or double my stake here, with radio silence PHE will make the decision for me.
