Further to recent research, a bit more news on IGAS (http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/176910/igas-energy-to-start-midlands-shale-drilling-this-year-176910.html). Looks encouraging at the moment....

{quote} EXCELLENT!! Well done.
If I said that Yahoo have just "improved" their financial portfolio facilities would that help?
Hence the ==>
Yahoo Finance have completely lost the plot.
They are gradually improving what was quite a useful facility to the point where it is a total joke.
I still have a way to go before I need a 7-figure register .... unfortunately!

Along with some interesting developments in the "renewable energy" sphere ... that icon of American Engineering (http://uk.businessinsider.com/tesla-is-reportedly-closing-a-deal-to-make-shanghai-its-next-car-production-center-2017-6?r=US&IR=T) is hoping to beat the import tariffs by manufacturing in Shanghai.
Not all readers here have faith in them as a company, but if you had bought their stock before last Christmas you would now be smiling to the tune of a 100% gain.
<-- didn't buy any

Further to buying into Ceres Power (above) I am now doing a bit more research. Yes that is the wrong way around.....
The media is finding reasons to write anything and today/yesterday we have a piece (https://finnewsweek.com/unusual-activity-spotted-in-ceres-power-holdings-plc-cwr-l/87322/) commenting upon some price movement .... as if it was notable. I have to say that against the jerk when the same company released a trading statement (http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/news/market-news/market-news-detail/CWR/13257920.html) on 13th June it is peanuts.
However.... general enthusiasm seems to be outweighing other sentiments and price has now risen enough to cover all my trading costs, if I wished to exit, which I don't.

One casualty of Yar-fekkin-who? changing their charting was/is that I have lost the ability to setup a web-page with ten or so charts on it. Particularly I had a few pages prepared with like-for-like instruments in the same page. This gives the ability to look and compare relative performance or certain market sectors, such as banks.
So I have missed the significance of this (https://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?p=10128539#post10128539), and in any case I'm not sure I would have been overly enthusiastic about a company with so many issued shares worth about 1p, I managed to sneak in a couple of limit buys today below 8p
...only to see the price droop even further in the afternoon.
However, such is the nature of a frantic market, yesterday's peak was 11p, so I shall wait and see....

Yesterday the FOMC minutes were released and as usual there was some entertainment with Price Action. In the resulting thread (https://www.forexfactory.com/news.php?do=news&id=691943#post10198818) some of the lazy spectators were asking the usual dumb questions about price movements, and I commented that they should read the minutes.
So how could you quickly discern whether there is any reason behind the price-gymnastics? Well FF conveniently provide a link to the actual minutes (https://www.federalreserve.gov/monetarypolicy/fomcminutes20170726.htm) and the place for retail traders to start is near the end. It takes a minute or two to read the few paragraphs.
"Committee Policy Action
In their discussion of monetary policy for the period ahead, members judged that information received since the Committee met in June indicated that the labor market had continued to strengthen and that economic activity had been rising moderately so far this year. Job gains had been solid, on average, since the beginning of the year, and the unemployment rate had declined. Household spending and business fixed investment had continued to expand.
On a 12‑month basis, overall inflation and the measure excluding food and energy prices had declined and were running below 2 percent. Market-based measures of inflation compensation remained low; survey-based measures of longer-term inflation expectations were little changed on balance.
With respect to the economic outlook and its implications for monetary policy, members continued to expect that, with gradual adjustments in the stance of monetary policy, economic activity would expand at a moderate pace, and labor market conditions would strengthen somewhat further. Inflation on a 12‑month basis was expected to remain somewhat below 2 percent in the near term but to stabilize around the Committee's 2 percent objective over the medium term. Members saw the near-term risks to the economic outlook as roughly balanced, but, in light of their concern about the recent slowing in inflation, they agreed to continue to monitor inflation developments closely.
After assessing current conditions and the outlook for economic activity, the labor market, and inflation, members decided to maintain the target range for the federal funds rate at 1 to 1-1/4 percent. They noted that the stance of monetary policy remained accommodative, thereby supporting some further strengthening in labor market conditions and a sustained return to 2 percent inflation.
Members agreed that the timing and size of future adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate would depend on their assessment of realized and expected economic conditions relative to the Committee's objectives of maximum employment and 2 percent inflation. They expected that economic conditions would evolve in a manner that would warrant gradual increases in the federal funds rate, and that the federal funds rate was likely to remain, for some time, below levels that are expected to prevail in the longer run. They also again stated that the actual path of the federal funds rate would depend on the economic outlook as informed by incoming data. In particular, they reaffirmed that they would carefully monitor actual and expected inflation developments relative to the Committee's symmetric inflation goal. Some members stressed the importance of underscoring the Committee's commitment to its inflation objective. These members emphasised that, in considering the timing of further adjustments in the federal funds rate, they would be evaluating incoming information to assess the likelihood that recent low readings on inflation were transitory and that inflation was again on a trajectory consistent with achieving the Committee's 2 percent objective over the medium term."
A bit further down we have:
"Members agreed that, at this meeting, the Committee should further clarify the time at which it expected to begin its program for reducing its securities holdings in a gradual and predictable manner. They updated the postmeeting statement to indicate that while the Committee was, for the time being, maintaining its existing reinvestment policy, it intended to begin implementing the balance sheet normalization program relatively soon, provided that the economy evolved broadly as anticipated. Several members observed that, in part because of the Committee's various communications regarding the change, any reaction in financial markets to such a change would likely be limited."
So there we have; a reduction in inflation pressures, no change to the rates ... which are likely to remain below normal levels for some time, a statement of intent to reduce the balance sheet soon ... but not yet. The whole thing is dovish, IMHO.
Masochists can read the whole meeting minutes. It contains a load of supporting information which is really only relevant to economists, unless you have a similar fascination.
