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.

So DOO was thinking of a merger , i don't think they would have the cash to buy BFC .

Jimmy, apart from the semi-flippant answer that D1 Oils only needs to find 1 in total (isn't that the usual price one pays for a company up to its gunnels in debt?), isn't it more likely that there would be a huge equity restructuring diluting existing shareholders out of sight? How else will Barclays come out of this with its interests secure as far as it can?

Bones i can't believe the buys going through (some must be buys) ,this has to be going down over the next couple of months ,people over on the other bb are coming up with all these crazy take out prices ,,180 - 200p ,,i just can't see it,, and i'm sure i'm not missing the point..

It's not doing much good for D1 's share price. As much as i'd love a take out at 180-200, I also can't see it. I think I might sell the lot soon, I can't take the stress of this share any longer!

Looks like DOO is making a mistake buying up BFC which is highly in debt.

I'm out now. DOO is never going to be able to afford much for BFC, if no other bidders emerge this is going down.

Might be just as well Frampton ,this is a real gamblers stock now,, IMO there is more downside than up here..

I agree its a gamblers stock Jimmy, and it doesn't look like the odds are stacked in the buyers favour. I'm just relieved to have got out with much smaller loss than I thought possible two weeks ago - although still quite substantial as I'd bought so many of these.

I used to think you couldn't hold a worse share than Renewable Energy Holdings but guess what, I've found One. Biofuels. BFC's management seem to come out with a new revelation every day which makes the shares fall ever further and tomorrow they may as well say that they forgot to build the plant the way things are looking for the company and their shares.
I Think D1 Oils are a better bet than BFC and if anyone can tell me otherwise please post it becuase even a bid for Biofuels is 'Timid' or 'Tentative' as the worldclass Management at Biofuels call it,
Maybe some more of those hedging deals with Barclays are on the cards for Biofuels, the last one has worked out well;
I'll let the management decide that, I'm sure they'll do the right thing like they have done so many times recently.
Keep Up The Good Work.

I legged it out at 95p, left it a bit late.... but hey, better out than in now, its dropping like a stone, and I see not reason for it to stop dropping for the time being.

Very glad to be out of this Jimmy. I sold once the bidder turned out to be DOO because it seemed it would only go down if no other bidder emerged. I am amazed its still as high as it is, in two months time the share holders could well be left with nothing - who wants to take that risk? Even if you were mad enough to want to buy in, why buy now? - I can't see anything making the price rise in the next two months (unless they complete ahead of schedule - no chance judging by past preformance) and I can see alot of reason for it going down.
I still find myself watching it obsessively though - it's like a drug I can't leave alone! However, I don't think I would be in a hurry to buy in even if they manage to pull it off - they still have an enormous amount of debt to sort out.

simon, I left it a bit late as well, because I wasn't around on the day they returned from suspension, I consider myself very lucky that I got 97-107p for them. I'm amazed they didn't tank right from the start.

There it goes now ,lost 8.5p again ,i can't believe people are still buying in this morning. I'm the same ,still watdhing with interest , there is a cure for this addiction ,you have to phone someone called a broker and buy something called a safe stock,then after about 6 months ,you feel a lot better and are able to get on with your life,,never to take huge risks and get shafted again.

Funnily enough I was thinking about CPW today, I've made good money from them in the past and I was wondering what the Onetel deal might have donme for them.
