This is getting a little silly this, a PE of 3. I see the Directors say they are confident that if political developments within the Global
Carbon and Climate change markets continue we will be able to achieve our
targets for this year.

Do we know what the targets are? If so it should be possible to work out the PEG forecast.

Results out this morning are ahead of forcast and now on a P/E ratio of less than 3. YES 3!!!!

Carbon markets are here to stay

Harry Beamish, emissions trader at the FSA regulated broker CarbonDesk says that an ideal price would be at around €30 per tonne, twice the current value.

He said: "The UK government had looked at a floor price below the current trading price of €15, however has recently backtracked on this plan. The impact of a floor price at these lower levels is definitely up for debate."

He also says that in the next two years higher emissions reductions targets will come into play; European entities within the EU ETS may be at risk of being less competitive in the international arena if there is no legislative protection or universal climate agreements. He does not expect any clarity of the overall situation in the next few months but thinks one thing is certain, the market is here to stay.

And global financial institutions have taken notice. Latest acquisitions include the $600 million buy-out of an American carbon market by OTC market operator ICE, an exchange where half of the world's crude and refined oil futures are traded, and Barclays Bank bought a Swedish company that specialises in supplying carbon offsets.

Meanwhile, trading activity is breaking records. According to a monthly report from the London-based European Climate Exchange (ECX) for May 2010, almost 700,000 contracts traded representing a year-on-year increase of 60 percent. According to ECX, the scheme includes 5,000 energy and industrial plants in the UK. While many of the world's major financial installations serve as liquidity providers and intermediaries - investment banks, hedge funds, trading houses and brokerages.

The value of the North American carbon market grew 279 per cent in 2009, the World Bank said.

EU targets €30 carbon price to help deeper cut

Actually no, they intend to stay on PLUS last time I spoke with them (about 7 months ago) but hey things change.


A trade and 23p and market makers still hold the price back, I really hate what seems to be the manipulation of prices on PLUS strongly to the market makers advantage and the investors disadvantage, can't they understand the word BALANCE so both parties are happy?

[envirovision] 22/4/2010 10:04

Yes clearly they do, at last the shareprice is starting to break out the current range, however the shareprice is clearly well undervalued and is likely to remain so whilst volume remains pathetic.

Boy I sure hope getting off of plus markets and listed on AIM is somewhere on the agenda at some stage.

I've been following plus markets, i dont think it will be around in its current form in a year or two. I agree it was much better when it was OFEX. Meanwhile its not a very pleasent market to have to deal with. Approach any plus listed company with caution and theres certainly some nasty companies there:

Have you seen this one: Transdermal, reading the thread apparently people have contacted plus about it and they simply have not bothered even replying!



I know there were a few incidents on offex but they soon got struck off when questions were asked, but i'm sure Jenkins would never have allowed stuff with links to boiler room scams and the like to be listed. You get the impression they would list anything nowdays.

[outsider] 31/3/2010 09:09

You really have to cherry pick your shares on PLUS in the plus results recently they announced how PLUS volumes had dropped and they wish to bring in more market makers horray at last.,...as OFEX the market was far better with one maret maker, but now the current market maker in most stocks is far far too gredy n my opinion, the private investor stands little chance, the vast majority of any profits are first to the market maker.

I am talking of 14 years experience in OFEX and PLUS and before that rule 535.


Fortunately I think Carbondesk will make us much money.

[envirovision] 31/3/2010 08:29

I got mine at 18p. In the last week i've been watching the price fall to below 15p and worse. Everytime i've looked there was a 25K trade at 15p. Infact i nearly posted here the other day but forgot. My post would have been something like: looks like the recent weakness is due to a seller in the market due to a 25K sell every other day.

This is a problem, basically the price has been manipulated. Clearly the directors have got their guy to phone up plus market and say we have four directors who want top buy, so plus have done that,

Clearly Plus Markets are not running a "fair" market in any way. Buying these shares looks to be a total con on that basis.
