The third paragraph of page 4 of the 2015 Interim Results refers to the signing of a "Memorandum of Understating" (MOU) in May 2015 with GE...


I think MC is aware but perhaps only now has noticed the "typo". I noticed it at the time : )

BTW if anyone reads the Daily Mail, The Times, or Third Sector in the last ten days they will have seen that Which? seems to be responding to criticisms of its pay etc and produced it's first ever half-yearly report. Whilst most of the flak has been for the CEO and his £819k pay this year it should be noted the recently departed head of talent got a £400k bonus. Tough when you have 650 staff to look after.

I will take credit for this new transparency. There are some interesting ramifications still to resolve but on the whole the new Chairman seems to realise that his predecessor was not really the man to boss a charity.

MC... LOL! We also had an AMG presentation in Nov 2015!

I guess that's the problem with relying on spellcheck to do the proof reading! It always takes a fresh pair of eyes.

amt... ADVFN support on the help thread are very good at resolving issues:-

[gnnmartin] 10/3/2016 09:29

Major C. Are you still thinking it is 2015? The MOU was signed last May.

[amt] 10/3/2016 07:19

Is anyone having problems with favourites on Advfn, I cannot find the favourite threads even though after much searching they are categorised as favourites.

Freudian slip? Subliminal messaging?

:)

[sojourno] 09/3/2016 17:36

gn... Yep, crossing 5%. Looks like it's PI money. I thought someone was stocking up!

[dncleaver] 09/3/2016 16:59

On a totally random subject, has anyone else noticed how LOW you can get your Blood Pressure, purely by drinking Gin & Tonic?!! .... I swear: Alcohol is GOOD for you!! - But I guess you just have to keep drinking it!! ;-)

Nice to see that someone thinks it worth increasing their position in TRT. CriSeren have increased from the 16,666,668 that the TRT web site says of them, to 23,968,645 in the latest RNS.

The idea I really really like which has been mooted is a link from geo thermal Iceland to the UK.
I prefer it to Hinkley....but it just seems a priori attractive.

Excess power is being turned to hydrogen and injected into the gas grid at pilot sites in Germany. ITM Power has 2 of them. This has the advantage of being able to be distributed around the grid, anywhere you have access to the gas network or need to fuel an FCV. The renewable story is starting to get more joined up and some of the barriers to more wind turbines are slowly resolving.

[sojourno] 09/3/2016 14:06

dnc.. I used to proof read documents for a chum at the BRE who came up with the idea and was advising government on off-shore wind farms.
GE are, of course, working with us to use our tech to improve efficiencies.
The problem with distribution is that local substations don't adequately cope with the extra throughput. Pumping water back up hill to store energy (which could also be a tidal plant) therefore has it's obstacles.

[dncleaver] 09/3/2016 12:49

Furthermore, any over-supply to the grid can easily be catered for by pumping water BACK up a mountain, somewhere in Wales.

So, your only really argument is that they don't work when the wind isn't blowing. Well done, Einstein.

[dieseltaylor] 09/3/2016 12:16

The use of surplus electricity to create a heat source or battery is but a short time away

[willoicc] 09/3/2016 12:12

Wind turbines do generate energy provided that:

- the wind is blowing,

- the wind is not blowing too strongly,

- they are not switched off due to lack of demand/over supply to the grid

[dncleaver] 09/3/2016 01:41

midnighteye: Just for your information, Wind Turbines generate electricity!

Good day everyone. I haven't looked at this thing for ages until now and it's STILL a bloody penny! I read a page or two back somebody said it's been a very disappointing 9 months, but surely he meant 9 years? On second thoughts, make that 19 years. I has a look at the vid at the top of their web site and it looked quite good apart from starting with wind turbines which will disappear the moment you get a non p.c. numerically literate government but I thought the choice of the ominous music was telling. Still, it's nice to see the old names still around, though why you are is quite inexplicable to me and I hope you get some kind of reward out of this soon now, it really is about time, in the long term we're all dead remember!

A famous quote from Warren Buffet from this article that I've seen other places: “on wind energy, we get a tax credit if we build a lot of wind farms. That’s the only reason to build them. They don’t make sense without the tax credit.”

So anyway, wake me up when this widget gets into the mass automobile market. The sideshows are interesting but they are only the mustard. High volume cars and only high volume cars will be the pork pie. Happy munching, y'all! (From a country which has never heard of pork pies and doesn't even understand bacon. Sad)

Ah yes, good old Monty Python!
(I don't mean to be disparaging about Finncap in any way btw!)

Commodities have been doing rather well lately, particularly metals. Saw a good phrase the other day: "If you can't grow it, it has to be mined."

[piggyinthemiddle] 07/3/2016 06:57

No,I`m Mattjos....!

[dncleaver] 07/3/2016 01:55

I knew it!! ;-)

[major courtenay] 06/3/2016 22:34

Ps: I await the enquiries as to whether I am a Mattjos alias! (I think it's Mattjos I mean)

[major courtenay] 06/3/2016 22:20

Here's the thing Soj. I think I've got a pretty good handle on our business potential here. It's why I'm still invested despite losing a fair wedge of my portfolio in this stock. However, I think we would all agree there have been a good few false dawns and it has got to the point where only money can do the talking. How many times have we arrived? John bean? Rema? Continental? BHP? Glencore? Brownfield? The £3.6 million income in c.2014? (Or whenever it was) The two thousand units in 17 countries where intellisaw were installed? And now GE are getting more interested... Just as all sorts of companies have got interested in us for decades in the past.... Every time bringing us closer to the promised land. But then the promised land turned out to be a fundraising or selling part of the company at knock down value.

Bottom line is none of this can put bread on the table. It takes bread off the table.

Ok. Confession. Hands up. I admit it. I am now officially a stale bull. Ranting at a bulletin board when I know I have only myself to blame for poor timing or poor judgment or both.

Right. Deep breath. Rant over. I will now go back to patiently waiting to be confirmed as either an incapable imbecile who has lost a good deal of his savings in a dodgy AIM stock, or a canny investor who was just a bit early in his timing. We'll see one of these days.

Good wishes to one and all and thanks for the interesting and enlightening posts.

MC.

[sojourno] 06/3/2016 21:04

F'k Finncap. PI's will drive it in the short term and when confidence returns we will. Afterwhich institutions will revisit interest; it doesn't happen the other way around.
So F'k Finncap, other than the valueless corporate support they give they're unable to give the kind of projections that exist in our World, which comes before theirs (if you see what I mean).
That's how it panned out in '01/'02.

[major courtenay] 06/3/2016 19:59

Hmm... I was thinking something similar myself. Especially as Finncap are now predicting half of that again!
