The main activity of Biofuels is the large scale production and exploitation of biodiesel and glycerine following the construction and commissioning of the initial plant.

Biodiesel is produced from vegetable oils and, as an environmentally friendly product, can make a significant contribution towards reducing green house gases and meeting Kyoto targets.

I put more into DOO at 381.25 - not the best price of the last few days, but low enough to sit tight and wait for the next wave up.

Well done, stockdog as DOO has gone up about 10% today. I guess BFC will follow suit next week.

Stockdoggy-DOO !! When I saw your tip, I thought time to go go in at last. Then I saw the SP was up 10%, and again I'm thinking - too late again. Still looking to buy on a dip.

Gallick - anywhere below 400p is not a bad place to re-enter looking at medium term (say till Xmas or so). I timed it wrong - could have got in for 350 if I'd sat and watched every hour of every day. I wouldn't be surprised to see dips back below 400 before then, so keep watching - or set a text-message alert with your on-line broker if you can to save having to spend too much time watching the screen.

Good luck

BFC down along with DOO....????
I think its time for me to jump on board.

XCheck out eureka thread 10x by christmas!

RNS - Goldman Sachs notification of shares: now a 4.2% holding.

Can anyone say what sort of a change this represents. (I seem to have lost access to the mam major shareholders page.)

Thanks, Madison

Madison - you can check back on previous RNS shareholding announcements until you find the last GS %age. Bit tedious, but only takes about 5 minutes on the LSE Market News website.

Thank you stockdog. I was just being lazy - I'd been used to having access to the mam major shareholder's page, but this seems to have been withdrawn from me. Probably, like the live FTSE that I used to enjoy, I was never meant to get it!

Anyway, I have checked back to 01/03 as you suggested and as far as I can see there are no previous GS notifications. I assume that means they were previously under 3% and have now increased their holding. Of course on its own this is a meaningless piece of information - you need the whole picture and how it's changing...

Cheers, Madison

I too have lost access to Mam's more interesting pages on the Company site these last few days. I guess now it's no longer a beta issue where they wanted feed back, it's been restricted to Premium subscribers, not us mere groundlings - you cheap b******d Madison. LOL :)

Anyone know who Toscafield limited are and what they do?

I seems that they invest in mining/oil companies. I found this on the web.

Manganese Bronze Holdings PLC further advises that it received notification on 2 March 2005 from Morgan Stanley Securities Limited that it has an interest in 1,754,475 of the Companys ordinary shares, representing 9.28% of the issued share capital.



Manganese Bronze Holdings PLC advises that it received notification on 23 August 2004 from Toscafield Limited, that they are the beneficial owner of 3,020,000 ordinary shares of the Company, representing 16.0% of the total number of shares in issue.


I will try to find out more.

Manganese Bronze are nothing to do with mining - they make London black taxi cabs!

Doh!!!!
I quickly looked at it and assumed.

Recaptured all yesterday's losses and more besides...now up 8.86%

Cheers, Madison

What is a B trade?
Is it broker to broker? or block trade?
6669090 shares, buy or sell?
wilbs

Looks like a sell as the trade price was lower than the mid price.
wilbs

This is a BUY as shrewd fund manager Martin Hughes has increased his Toscafield Fund's stake in BFC to 14.8% via the recent placing. BFC will be profit-generating by the end of year. Likely maiden profit is 14 million.

Thanks for clearing that up hlyeo
