Now how that can be interpreted that they have raised the money or are going to raise the money now is beyond me.

When you put the following two comments together, I would think it was a natural conclusion....

1. At this event, buy-side investors will listen to presentations from companies in the Environmental Industries sector. This will be followed by the opportunity to conduct 1-2-1 meetings between issuers and investors.

2. "Aim-listed SeaEnergy, is looking to raise up to £40 million in a share placing to build North Sea wind farms"

Frankly, only a 7am RNS will kill this off

Thanks to sawman on HMB forum.

This is the period when subtle, sometimes professional, shorters and bashers come out of the woodwork so below is a post I came accross years ago that I have always kept. It's worth a read and an eye opener to the less experienced. These people exist and lurk around these boards so beware and DYOR.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hello,
As many of you are aware, I am a paid 'basher'. As childish as bashing might seem on the surface, a lot of money actually exchanges hands based on the work we do. I work(ed) for an investment firm based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. I worked in cooperation with several others and under several aliases in several online investment forums. Including PresidentBush, Tooth18, OneVultrue, 7Midniqht and Herbacious on Stockhouse.

To make a long story short. I have had an epihphany in the past few days. I watched the movie Fight Club, and as brutal as the movie is on the surface, it actually caused me to question a lot of things I do or have done in my life. The next day I was involved in a single vehicle car accident, which caused my vehicle to roll-over. I walked away from it all, but it got me to thinking. I only live once, is this what I want from my life? Is this what I've always wanted to do - I am not even proud of my career or myself. I say that I am a stock broker, but that is a lie. We are basically paid con-men. I quit today, no questions asked. Just walked out. I am 23 years old, and this is not what I want out of life.

The scheme works like this. Be aware of it so you can guard yourself. Our company monitors undervalued companies with strong assets and strong potential. When this company, XXX.V, for example, reaches an overbought situation, our company begins selling shares that we do not own in hopes of purchasing these shares at a lower price later on. As the share price dips, our company purchases these shares for a cheaper price at the lowered ask price. That is where we come in - we bash the stock online to try and further the negative sentiment so that the stock gaps down further and increases our profit margin. This type of activity is called naked short selling and it should be illegal. Our firm is a well established one that deals out shares that we do not own, then send out an army of online rats to undermine the company's successes to drive the price down.

As an employee, I never really realized the effect it had on investors or companies. I just really cared about opening the gap as much as possible, so that I could make a larger commission. It was all just a big game.


Regards
S

And a follow up:


LEARN ABOUT HOW BASHERS WORK: For instance: did you know that some Bashers are paid?

Golden Rule:

IGNORE THEM ...learn how professional Bashers are paid: When you REPLY to Bashers you give them an opportunity to earn appox. 5-7 dollars. The service agreement they enter into with their employer states their messages will be monitored for content, profanity, lies, etc. but Overseers and the like don't have the time to check all their Bashers messages. Only occasional spot checks are done. Those who manage the Basher will generally read the headlines to see if a Basher is replying to other posters by name. That tells them the Basher isn't just "posting blindly" or repeating the same message over and over since they won't pay for those.(True to form a Basher will put the bite on anyone, even their unscrupulous employer). A Basher will attempt to milk three to five replies per post at one to two dollars each. This way the Basher spreads negative influence to as many stockholders as possible. A Basher will create this discussion thread because it takes less time reading more messages than is necessary. This ultimately allows the Basher more time to post and make money. In general, NEVER ENGAGE A BASHER. Make them read all the posts and think up ways to enter the discussion. NEVER ENGAGE A BASHER; if you do so then YOU BECOME THE BASHER,S AID! If you feel compelled to challenge a Basher do so without mentioning his/her true alias in your response. This will make it hard for the Basher to use your post as a revenue stream. Read the news, do your own homework and make your own decisions. Get real time quotes and follow the stock for a couple of weeks. Due Diligence is key here. Know that there will be a time when the stock runs up which will be followed followed by the Bashers and those that missed the boat. The Bashers will trash the stock by saying such things as "it's a Pump and Dump" and "the company is lying" and deceiving. There goal is to scare off newbies and potential new investors by "shaking" you out of your shares. Take the time to confirm your DD ,trust your own judgement and believe in yourself, pick your point of return or loss and live with it. Don't listen to hype or Bashers trust your own judgement. Live by the rules you have created .

Just more speculation from that muppet taffee. After postulating about an MBO a couple of months ago he is now suggesting that fraud is now an issue ! These completely unsubstantiated 'suggestions' of prospective MBO's or fraud are typical of him and also quite disgaceful !
______________________________________________________________________________

taffee - 5 Mar'08 - 804 of 970: heard there is a management buyout brewing here...having sorted the banks out. ceo is mad as a hatter at current share price

Masurenguy - 5 Mar'08 - 807 of 970:
"taffee - 5 Mar'08 - 804 of 806: heard there is a management buyout brewing here...having sorted the banks out. ceo is mad as a hatter at current sp"

Hmmm....is there any substance to this or is it just more idle speculation and or wishful thinking ? Problem is that taffee has already undermined his credibility by ramping not only this stock but others elsewhere too ! He also flippantly dismissed £70m of debt as being 'more of an overdraft' recently.

taffee - 5 Mar'08 - 811 of 970: masurenguy, wait and see

Well spotted Masurenguy, one of a new breed of shameless rampers, Taffee was
doing the same on Tandem and then started deramping it when he was not holding
it, filtered for life, the poster has no value whatsoever unless you want to
believe all his lies !

"taffee - 5 Feb'08 - 13:15 - 621 of 894: listen guys and gals..I don't think you understand the business model at all. Had the same with autonomy..investors simply didn't get it....eventually theey did."

Yes, I think we do now and I completely agree with 8Trader.

It may be academic but this is still fundamental stewardship and governance we [investors] could be talking about. What use was the audit committee in these circumstances if the CEO was railroading his agenda [growth] through at any cost or highly obstructive in getting the financing issue resolved?

As for the credibility of the new FD, I don't think he was out his depth at all as his actions in the past few months up to the last financial statement lived up to his CV, suggesting he was a league above Hargreaves and getting things sorted out, having the bottle to fight his corner. I suspect that he actually brought this to a head and told the audit committee eaxctly what he thought of the CEO's strategy and his grave misgivings about previous accounting policy. Now imagine the scenario - new FD says this can't go on - you've got your fingers in your ears so I'm going to quit. Result: credibility of the management team gets blown out of the water due to his resignation - banks call in the administrator.

Instead, he's been given the opportunity with considerable help, to consider all options - unencumbered - and he's told them - it should take weeks not months.

"junk - 7 May'08 - 00:09 - 919 of 920: If they were going under i would have expected and indeed they would be obliged to tell us..."

They are not obliged to say anything at this stage. They have requested suspension whilst they review their financial position and until this has been completed they have not come to any firm conclusions, or made any effective decisions, about the future of the company.

Suspension and review can be a precursor of administration. It could also be a 'breathing space' opportunity to address their financial predicament by bringing in a significant new investor or by approaching potential 'white knights' for rescue. Nothing is certain - you can only wait and see.

To reduce costs Moob!! Securing funding is incredibly important because many investors must have been concerned about their ability to keep going. That qustion seems to have been answered satisfactorily....

taffee;> i suspect the response could be a standard one - Can anyone else confirm or deny?

I copy below part of an e-mail sent to Morten some time ago before the last rns WHICH HE DECLINED TO RESPOND TO, and as I result I did not invest (This has at the current price saved me a small fortune - Thank you!!)

"The bottom line being to determine when the company will be cash flow positive and when as an investor I would see a return in the form of dividends. I have ignored any possibility of a takeover at the moment. It is possible, that if it helps a marketing man like me understand the business, it could help other investors appreciate the apparently hidden value my broker keeps pushing at me. I will then have to use skill and judgement to make an estimate of the future growth of the business and the effect of competition and changes in technology."

In my view the jury is still out.

e & oe - dyor no investment advice intended just a plea for CLEAR figures.
