"a leading developer of fuel cell systems" excactly..."developer".

Mate, sometimes it amazes me why people don't take a more common sense veiw of a company and just ring them up / ask them how much their product is likely to cost... even if I had enough money to buy my own yacht I would never shell out the kind of cash voller are asking for a (frankly noisy if you've ever seen the demo of it??) generator.

takeover or bust - don't do it..
anyway, hope no-ones been crippled by this pipe dream.

How much did Voller and his cohorts pay themselves out of your money?

[volsung] 21/7/2009 17:26

I would like to buy 4.5 million of these as a gift for my ex-wife. Does anyone know of a cheap way to get them? I don't want the price surging but I need them before the end of July.

Finally out at 0.9p, so a very nice profit.

Sincerely sorry for those that lost money on here, but having been presented to by Stephen Voller a number of years ago it wasn't an investment IMHO.

Just a pity they didn't smell the coffee earlier, giving shareholders a better return.

[asparks] 31/3/2009 10:40

well done. I confess to being rather envious.....

[tiltonboy] 31/3/2009 10:38

Taken most of it already. Got 950,000 VLR left. If I can sell the rest of those at around 0.9p, I will have made around £20K, which is double what I paid.

[asparks] 31/3/2009 10:31

easy money - how much profit will you make?

[tiltonboy] 31/3/2009 10:29

asparks,

That is why I bought them. I had no affinity to Voller. Indeed having met Stephen Voller a couple of years ago, I didn't think the business model was sustainable. I am an opportunist investor and look for all sorts of opportunities. I bought CRK at just over the price they were paying out in cash, and sold the rump after, making a 10% profit. I'm in AUR at the moment, and expect to get a similar return. Galahad made a 20% return, and we got our initial investment back in weeks. If you bide your time, and watch out for these opportunities they vcan be rewarding.

As for timetables. A company will announce a dividend, and will give a Record Date ( otherwise known as Books Closed). The actual date that matters is the XD date which is always on a Wednesday, and is two days before the Record Date.

VLR was an exception in that the payout was a dividend rather than a Capital event. Thankfully, my wife is a standard rate taxpayer, so the shares were transferred into her name, otherwise it wouldn't have worked so well.

Hope that helps.

tilton - but is my usual assumption correct about payment of divs? This latest VLR one seems to be rather weird - basically guaranteed money at no risk because you could purchase shares for less than the DIV price. I have never seen that before

[pierre oreilly] 31/3/2009 10:00

Lol Aspaks, wrong again eh? (We all are sometimes, so no probs there, and it's good - yet surprising - you can accept that.)

You seem to put your faith in the wrong people, believing those who don't really understand what they talk about, and ignoring those who do.

[tiltonboy] 31/3/2009 09:59

asparks,

Thank you.

tiltonboy

[asparks] 31/3/2009 09:52

fair enough, seems I was wrong. I still cant understand it though. Basically new investors were able to purchase for less than 2p even after the RNS and were liable to receive a div of 2p per share.

As far as I know Divs are usually paid to existing shareholders - not new investors who have no interest in the long term prospects of the company?

[tiltonboy] 31/3/2009 09:49

Nice £29K dividend received, even though asparks said I wouldn't get it:

"dividend is payable to all those on register on 27th JAN NOT FEB!!"

and still no apology...lol...

[tiltonboy] 20/3/2009 14:58

What was the point of 3154, you still haven't answered the questions. Are you incapable?

[asparks] 20/3/2009 14:44

if you want a decent renewable energy investment try ALK

[asparks] 20/3/2009 14:43

sour grapes?

[tiltonboy] 20/3/2009 14:33

Not for me, although you said I'd lost a packet.

What about the misleading information you gave about xd?

You refuse to answer these questions.

[asparks] 20/3/2009 14:28

VLR was a very poor investment

[tiltonboy] 20/3/2009 14:27

asparks,

Anything to add, or you going to be an ostrich again?
