thanks for the video

after watching this adhern strikes me as a hard working, hands on business man, i cannot see him being happy on the tanfield shareholder getting rich on his hard work, so i guess he will know exactly when to make a bid, and when it happens it will be a fairly instant straight done deal.

thanks multi, i had been in oil for a while then indices, i bought 5 or 6 percent of mosman oil, last year and sold again, but yes will study this tonite, i bought a small buy this afternoon and it was quiet easy to purchase which was handy, i think the time is right for snorkel now and hope we can get a good run on the share price before any potential deal is announced. lets see what happens,

It's Dan the Man!

Unfortunately things haven't worked out so well since December 2015:

Robert James Harding and Nicholas Guy Edwards, both Partners of Deloitte LLP, were appointed Joint Administrators of Powa Technologies Group plc on 19 February 2016 and Powa Technologies Limited on 22 February 2016 (together the “CompaniesR21;).
The affairs, business and property of the Companies are being managed by the Joint Administrators. The Joint Administrators act as agents of the Companies without personal liability.

The interview is a must see and hear for Tanfield shareholders.

[multiplural] 21/3/2016 22:46

I assume Ahern will buy our stake in Snorkel as if he doesn't then after October 2018 he no longer have the ability to force a trade through.
Snorkel is the only company in his holdings that he does not control 100%.
Eventually he will have to prepare for the next generation via a listing of his companies or a sale, and surely he would not wan't minority shareholders in that case.
I think the funds will be plenty as the business Snorkel is in is doing splendid, and looks to be doing very well in the coming years.
We even have Aherns words on the eventual buy:

[orange1] 21/3/2016 20:17

Everyone is assuming that the Tanfield stake in Snorkel will be purchased by Ahern. But how do we know that it will? The deal is subject to Ahern being in a position to fund the purchase? How do we know that it will ever be in that position?

The deal is summarised here:

I'm back, afternoon folks, multi can you give me a brief update save me reading million posts, also what are the chances adhern could be selling all of snorkel rather than buyin the other 49 percent.

Cheers

But that's a Tanfield chart. Tanfield isn't an EV producer and wasn't when that post appeared - it's a former EV producer, with merely a passive sub-5% stake in a stalled EV producer now owned byothers - and a far more significant passive stake in a construction equipment maker. Market attitudes towards EV makers cannot be responsible for Tanfield chart behaviour.

Sorry I cannot get the FDG/Smith van images to post here. Maybe someone else can?


- - - In 2014, FDG invested some $20 million directly in Smith, says Hansel. Then in May 2015, it invested another $15 million to form a joint venture, named Prevok. Hansel is Prevok's CEO.

The JV is producing a jointly designed, medium-duty electric van at a 2.6 million-square-foot plant in the east China high-tech hub of Hangzhou. Prevok plans to launch the van in the U.S. this year.

It will be imported initially, moving to local production as volume increases, Hansel says. Demand eventually will be global, he predicts.

Smith likely would not have had the luxury of such an undertaking if it worked with U.S. investors, Hansel says. With FDG, "they said, "Get started guys, and have fun.'" - - -

The Chinese government's consistent financial support and policy push for development and sale of plug-in EVs underpins Chinese investors' longer-term view.

China has declared that it will have 5 million "new-energy" vehicles -- a category including battery-powered EVs, plug-in hybrids and hydrogen fuel cell EVs -- on the road by 2020. In practice, the recent focus has been on battery-powered EVs.

Ahern and Snorkel keeps expanding:

I wonder how the market makers can keep cheating their clients. There is a genuine bid in the market for 30.000 at 14 and then 30.000 are reported as traded at 14.0001 without filling the bid.

Interesting book:



Recall how Don Ahern talked with affection about Art Moore in this interview:



Worth hearing again as it adresses the buy of the remaining 49% of Snorkel owned by Tanfield.

Snorkel introduces new large lifts.

The stats in this article fail to separate EVs from hybrids. But do seem to indicate an accelerating level of acceptance of EVs - which may come as a relief to Smith/FDG:

[m.t.glass] 29/2/2016 09:07

But the loss of US subsidies for an almost entirely 'chinesed' Smith, might not matter:

"Battery prices fell 35 percent last year and are on a trajectory to make unsubsidized electric vehicles as affordable as their gasoline counterparts in the next six years, according to a new analysis of the electric-vehicle market by Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF). That will be the start of a real mass-market liftoff for electric cars."
