Re: NEW ARTICLE: AIM's most notorious money pits I could not get that link to work but found the article eventually.It is dated 15th May 2015 which means it is before the 100:1 consolidation and their explanation of why a large consolidation was not done before has proved to be pretty accurate but it is a reasonable (if depressing) article: [link]

Re: Which stock exchange It's a cash offer, if it goes through then you are unlikely to have a chance to retain any shares.

Re: Everyone likes a bit of... As I understand it though margins on the Pi are very low so while it may be good news I'm not sure it will do a lot for profits.

Pari passu Not sure what some of you are trying to indicate.My understanding is that all the ordinary shares rank pari passu,ie all receive equal treatment. If the company makes a profit theymay decide to distribute some of it by way of a dividend to whichall ordinary shares will participate. They may of course decide to spend it all on works of art for the board room, which would be another matter.If I am looking at this with 'rose tints' please advise me.TIA

Ex-Div Today Hence the drop, but at least GVC seems to have settled at 400p give or take. Given we were looking at 130p per share (mixed), disappointing to be looking at 103p. Directors' buys the other day looking iffy already.

Out again Took quick profits at 391p - NAV down to 344p today but SP still holding up in mid 370s. Entry point again back at 340ish. All this volatility is most tiresome I am supposed to be a buy and hold investor but how can you be with this massive gyrations in SP. - got it right so far with this share but burned elsewhere in steady eddies like GSK, RDSB and BAE

BET Punilux 10 Sep 2015

Re: Merger You must be thinking of another company. At the moment (8.20) the TOTAL available to lay ALL the favourites for the six races at Epsom today is £210 at the best odds. Paddy Power makes a lot of its profit by laying bets to high rollers for five or six figure sums. Why do you think that an owner who wants to bet £500 on their own horse on the morning of a race won't even consider Betfair despite having slightly better odds (whose advantage is commonly wiped out by commission)?

Positive new interview Great finish yesterday.The CEO is very positive:[link] methane mines to keep the lights onWednesday 09 September 2015 ​​​Alkane Energy, which mines methane gas from redundant Yorkshire coal mines, reported strong annual results, boosted by an “extremely good” performance at the former Maltby Colliery. Maltby, near Rotherham, ​moved into full production last summer and is now Alkane’s biggest mine​ with a capacity of 10MW​.​Alkane’s CEO​ ​Neil O’Brien​​ said:​ “We are delighted with Maltby which is running extremely well.“The facility has been running flat out and we are testing new running regimes, generating more in weekdays and the winter and less in the summer and at weekends so we can capture top prices.”Mr O’Brien said the strong results reflect the investment the group has made in the business.With energy shortages expected over the next two winters, the group is well placed to step in to the breach and supply National Grid with much needed capacity.“Both National Grid and Ofgem have warned the system is getting tight. There will be five per cent spare capacity in the coming winter, which is down from the usual 10 to 15 per cent and in 2016 the system will be under even more stress,” said Mr O’Brien.Capacity will be further hit by the closure of ​Eggborough power station in Yorkshire and ​the Longannet coal plant in Scotland, which are both due to close next March, raising the spectre of blackouts next winter. “We are seeing rising demand from National Grid and we’re being asked to step in almost every day,” said Mr O’Brien.Elsewhere in Yorkshire, operations at the former Wheldale Colliery in Castleford also performed well and Mr O’Brien said Wheldale is “up there with the best”.The 10MW site is both a coal mine methane producer and a power response site, the name given to former mines that have no methane left but the mine workings are used to buy in gas to produce power to feed the grid.National Grid calls on Alkane’s power response sites when there is a supply wobble, known in the trade as a “kettle blip” (when everyone puts on the kettle during the TV ad breaks). It only takes 15 minutes for a power response site to generate power while a big power station takes four hours to run up, which makes it uneconomical if power is only needed for a few hours.Alkane is expecting increased demand when the Rugby World Cup starts later this month.“If England progress there will be kettle blips as people open the fridge to get another tinny out,” said Mr O’Brien.“The last two winters have been very mild, but sooner or later there will be a cold winter. We are standing by.”Alkane has 60 engines and capacity to supply over 125MW in order to “keep the lights on” over the winter. At the moment it supplies National Grid between 4pm and 7pm every evening and it is on standby to generate power between 7pm and 8pm.Alkane announced a a 23 per cent jump in revenue to £8.7m in the six months to June 30 and adjusted pre-tax profits rose 166 per cent to £1.4m.“We are delighted with our progress,” said Mr O’Brien. “We started the year with a lull from National Grid, but we have seen rising levels of demand since March.”Analyst David Brockton at Liberum said: “First half profit is in line with our expectation, continuing the encouraging start to the year. Strong profit growth reflects a 25 per cent increase in power output, with greater mix of revenue from the higher profit generation division.”​Alkane has 10 facilities in Yorkshire and it will shortly open a new 3MW site at the former Markham Main Colliery on the edge of Doncaster, where methane gas production is expected to be “very strong”.Its other sites include the former Princ
