Biofuels Corporation. (BFC)     

wilbs - 07 Jul 2004 19:47

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.

Do you mean the shareprice will go up when you change your posture?

I shall send a personal trainer round.

Cheers, Madison

If this one was a dead cat then I would have said the events of the last two weeks were a dead cat bounce.

I think there's a lot more life left in this particular moggy though we might have to wait a few months till the plant is nearer to opening before it gets back up on its feet and starts miaowing again.

McGavock - 20 May 2005 14:52 - 296 of 1184

what is going on with the share price. I can see no news to excuse the volitility. Perhaps I should trade on the troughs and peaks. What is the point in building a new factory if it isn't going to be viable?

RD - 20 May 2005 16:26 - 297 of 1184

Who said the factory isn't going to be viable?

I
n March the company said:
"Once the initial Plant is fully operational it is estimated, based on the
assumptions, that the Company could achieve an operating profit of up to 14
million before interest in a twelve month period. Excluding the impact of the
commodity hedge, this figure would be around 30 million."

The assumptions this is based on may have changed a little but there's no reason to assume we won't be looking at a healthy profit once the plant is up and running.

tallsiii - 20 May 2005 16:29 - 298 of 1184

I agree that we may have to see some Biodiesel produced and sold before people warm to this one again. Until then, there may be many opportunities to pick this one up at a bargin.

That figure of 14m could be as low as 5m, this was told to me on the phone by the ceo

RD - 23 May 2005 08:12 - 302 of 1184

ssanebs

Well, even 5m profit would be better than most of the shares I seem to invest in!

I'm in this for the long term as I believe the biofuel sector has a strong future.

It's a shame the ceo wasn't as talkative with the Telegraph's journalist as he was to you, saying nothing to the press in this sort of situation has given a much more negative impression than coming clean witth the facts (however disappointing) would have done.

I trust Biofuels will issue detailed financial projections based on its new assumptions asap. then we'll have a much clearer picture of where we stand.

LOoks like more bad news on the way.

Big Al - 23 May 2005 18:27 - 304 of 1184

Why is it everything with the prefix "Bio" is not flavour of the month at present? ;-)))

I hope that is not the director that failed to come up with the 500k in the recent share issue!

Big Al - 24 May 2005 20:07 - 307 of 1184

Thought this might have broken the 1 today, but it didn't.

I'm seeing strong support at 90p, but that's about the only comment I can make. Spread's a bit of a killer these days.

Please note the release of 6 days ago!!! I wish people would keep an eye on things instead of asking questions which could be answered in 2 minutes if they look around!

goal - 24 May 2005 21:18 - 309 of 1184

hello Big Al, I've been watching BFC for a few months now because of a recommendation in a money mag, to me this looks like a good investment so it's down to timing an entry, I will wait to see if this is a start of an up trend.Regards goal.

Big Al - 24 May 2005 21:50 - 310 of 1184

Hi goal.

I've no position at present. Like the long term thing, but can't stick these in an ISA and I do little real share dealing outside that. Personally think this hit is well overdone, but you can't buck the market and any bad news by anyone is getting hammered just now. It's a time to keep the powder dry(ish!) and see what develops.

Patience or ease back in, methinks.
