Has anyone got any ideas why VLR continues to fall? They are one of the few Fuel cell company to have actually successfully comercialised their product and the potential for future growth is huge.

Looking at the graphs looks like a rise is on the way...

Graph looks good because:
a) Price near the bottom of the Bollinger Bands
b) When the blue line cuts the red one on an upward move that will be a very good sign. At the mo this part of the graph is not certain. When it changes would be a good time to buy.
c) RSI is low good time to buy (Relative Strength Index)

Told you 7% up... might buy in on monday
Blue line is moving north and may cut the red line soon... another good sighn

Jojojo,

I agree - am wondering just as much as you. How come Ceres Power (CWR) seems to be attracting all the attention? I think CWR has been successful in continually raising its profile with Government bodies and is now involved with a lot of multinationals in researching a "coherent national energy policy".

CWR is currently valued at 9 times last reported assets. I expect that the next set of financials, due to be released shortly, will contain more good news and further boost the share price. But is the current SP justified? Certainly a lot seems to be riding on good prospects rather than fundamentals. VLR, by contrast, is trading only about 35% above NAV. A definite plus for VLR is that it has a big cash-pile of 7.6 million (at end of year 2005), sufficient to see it through three or four years of R&D at current cash-burn rate. Unlike CWR, Voller does not seem to have committed much funding to developing manufacturing facilities, which makes VLR look a bit small-scale at present.

CWR also seems to have benefited from a fair bit of "first-to-market" premium.

The agreements with Calor and others, however, offer a lot of grounds for optimism for VLR. I am encouraged by VLR's product range/pipeline and the fact that Speedy Hire has taken Voller seriously enough to order 300 units of the 10KW Generator. To quote the interim results: "Production has commenced of the Speedy Hire Porta Charger and the initial order for 300 units will be invoiced in the first quarter of the calendar year." Unfortunately the Charger does notyet seem to have found its way on to Speedy's website - I can only assume that delivery has not yet taken place.

I certainly intend to watch this stock for a while and to do some more research on the fuel cell industry in general. But does anyone else have any thoughts on why VLR is lagging? And if Ceres is the Coca-Cola of fuel cells, will Voller turn out to be Pepsi or merely Panda-Pops?

Soul Trader,
Thankyou for you insight and I strongly agree with your points, although previously a shareholder of CWR at 99p I believe VLR are now in a stronger position than their rivals and soon the market will realise this and the shares should rise.
Unlike the rest of the sector I think VLR are heavily undervalued and the only fuel cell company that should be a 'Buy', although if in your research you spot some other companies similarly undervalued like VLR, i.e. in the renewable energy of fuel cell sector, please inform me.
Another company I monitor closely is REH, renewable energy holdings, and although the share price is fairly static I believe the long term potential looks great and the shares could be worth over 100p in a year.
And on your last note let me assure you Voller will be the Pepsi, without the Micheal Jackson incident, and soon take on Coca Cola.

hi jojo, i am only commenting on your previous post about cwr and not investing in manufacturing facilities, perhaps you might want to look at CFU imho. dyor

Finally a positive move !!!! Up 16% today!

grooverjr i'll check CFU, from first glance it looks like they keep the market updated with newsflow which could be a pleasent change form VLR, thanks for the tip.

Any news regarding today's price jump?

The rise is due to Shares comment this week, soultraders.

Thanks, hlyeo - haven't seen the mag yet as my copy is in Germany and I'm not.

its a great article for Voller and I think we can expect a push through 50p in the next few weeks as it should have increased awarness OF vlr and also catch those who missed ITM + CWR.

I see that Paul Scott has a built up a large holding in VLR.

Voller Energy Group PLC

Launch of New Fuel Cell System

Voller Energy Group PLC, the leading commercial supplier and manufacturer of
portable fuel cell systems, announces the launch of a new industrial fuel cell
system, the VE100 Rack Mount ('VE100RM').

The new fuel cell system can charge remote monitoring equipment, surveillance
cameras and industrial equipment in remote locations. The VE100RM can also be
used in conjunction with other power sources such as Photo-Voltaic ('PV') solar
panels or wind turbines to provide continuous power over an extended period of
time.

The VE100RM is aimed at customers with a requirement for constant energy, or
high up-time equipment in a variety of remote or potentially hostile
environments. Historically, most of these applications use batteries, which have
to be recharged. The new VE100RM fuel cell system will re-charge them
automatically.

Using Voller's own software, the new fuel cell system logs and monitors the
battery charge. This information can be accessed and monitored remotely via a
GPS phone link.

The new fuel cell system is powered by hydrogen gas which can be supplied from a
normal compressed hydrogen cylinder and regulator available from any compressed
gas supplier or from a refillable canister supplied by Voller Energy. This
refillable canister stores hydrogen at low pressure dissolved in a metal hydride
salt. The Voller canister can be mounted within the 4U 19' rack mount case
enclosure.

Once running, the automatic charge mode, fuel canister reset and various display
modes can be selected from the front panel. An 8mm pipe connection is also
provided on the front panel for ducting away moist air and water vapour. The
unit will automatically 'awaken' from standby mode to charge external batteries
when they drop below a preset voltage. This means that the useful lifetime of
batteries will be extended and it will also reduce the number of man-hours
wasted unnecessarily on checking and recharging the batteries.

Stephen Voller, Chief Executive of Voller said:

'This is an exciting development and is further evidence of our ability to
provide practical fuel cell system solutions which meet our customers' needs.

Today there are so many different types of industrial equipment that need
non-mains delivered electric power, so the potential of this new system is
substantial. Certainly, the security industry could become a major beneficiary
of our technology as it will provide safe, clean and efficient recharging
capability for surveillance or other electronic equipment situated in remote
locations. It is further evidence of Voller Energy's commitment to providing
practical fuel cell system solutions which meet our customers' needs.'

Up up and away. Bought in at 39.5 and 50, Voller looks good for 80p a share.

SO 57p must be also a good entry point if that is the case.

Not as good as around 50 but still great value. Even with this jump the shares are not even close to reaching their potential, I think we can expect Voller to follow the price rise of ITM and CWR.

Zipide do dar !!!!

That's good news today and isnt the share price looking great again !!!

Im so glad I bought some Voller stock after the share's magazine article !!

I sold my Hamworthy HMY shares last week with an 80% profit to buy these and what a good moved that was, especially as HMY are down today

Yes that certainly was a good move. It looks like the market has finally caught on to the potential of Voller, (I am now posting as G D Potts, formerly jojojo).
