Posted at 16/10/2021 20:21 by simon666 Interactive Investor notification telling me my shares are 'worthless'.Am I able to offset this against anything tax wise? |
Posted at 19/3/2018 19:49 by simon666 Well that's it then. Our holdings are now virtually worthless. And to rub salt into the wound, they will now no doubt ask investors to stump up money for their new venture via an IPO whereupon they will relist on AIM and the whole sorry saga will repeat itself. I for one will not be contributing. No doubt new gullible people will be sucked in. |
Posted at 07/2/2018 19:26 by mdvorkin Graphene proves less strong than investors hopedCommercial benefits of the 'wonder' material are slow to materialiseKATE BURGESS FT Graphene has difficulty bonding with other materials and is hard to apply commercially ©Kate Burgess FEBRUARY 4, 2018Graphene has attachment issues. It was supposed to be stronger than steel, lighter than paper, and altogether super-thin, super-flexible, super-conductive and a super investment. Five years ago it was being heralded as the basis for another industrial revolution. But graphene, it seems, has difficulty bonding with other materials and is hard to apply commercially. The wonder material has failed to materialise. That is not only stunting the market in the carbon allotrope but also the three graphene-focused companies that floated on Aim in 2013 and 2014. Shares in all - Applied Graphene Materials (AGM), Haydale Graphene and Graphene Nanochem - are a long way below their first days on the junior market. As a pop psychologist might say, they are struggling to build lasting relationships.Even some of graphene's biggest champions are folding under the strain. Last week, 55-year-old Jon Mabbitt quit after nearly five years as chief executive of AGM to spend time with his family. Mr Mabbitt says: "I want to move while things are good." In 2016, he sealed AGM's first order, providing graphene to strengthen fishing rods. That is not quite the same as spearheading an industrial revolution.However, there is too much theoretical talk "about the art of the possible" in graphene, says Mr Mabbitt. AGM has been firmly focused on practical applications in anti-corrosive paints and composite materials. And orders are beginning to come through. Analysts forecast it will make £600,000 in revenues this year. And having raised about £9m at the back end of last year, AGM has the cash to see it through to when the group will break even in a couple of years. Or so Mr Mabbitt hopes.Mr Mabbitt has spent a large part of each week driving from his Derby home to AGM's Teeside offices. It has become a slog. Not necessarily a rewarding one, either. Mr Mabbitt's total pay fell £30,000 to £156,000 last year. The board decided he would not receive an annual bonus based "on revenue targets linked to orders and demonstrating the ability to scale up production volumes". Mr Mabbitt is not the only one to detach himself from the sector. Last week, Panmure Gordon, the brokers, gave up on Graphene Nanochem, resigning as its nominated adviser or Nomad without explanation. The move propels Malaysia-based Graphene Nanochem ever closer to the Aim exit. The group, whose shares have been suspended since it announced plans to reverse into a Malaysian-based building company, has a little over a month to find a replacement Nomad or its shares will automatically be delisted.Graphene Nanochem has been edging towards producing graphene-based drill lubricants. But its attachment to graphene has been far from secure. It has been trying to diversify while borrowing from sources such as Darwin Capital, a specialist lender to distressed companies. And its shares were suspended before in December 2016 having failed to lodge its accounts in accordance with Aim rules. Graphene Nanochem is a world away from AGM, and Haydale Graphene, the third Aim entrant in the class of 2013-14 that supplies graphene for cars, saucepans and medical instruments. Both AGM and Haydale have built good relationships with investors. AGM has been backed since float by IP Group, the science investment group, which has 19 per cent. Both managed to raise cash from investors last year and neither have debt. They are still a long way from making a profit. But their shares are 10 times that of Graphene Nanochem's £4m equity value. That said, even Haydale - whose revenues are expected to reach £4.8m next year - shows signs of looking at its options. It does not hold the honeycomb-structured graphene as closely to its heart as it did in 2014. It now also produces whiskers of silicon carbide, also known as SiC or carborundum, a material that bonds more easily. It has been around for decades and already found a use in semi-conductors, bullet proof vests and ceramic cutting tools. Shrinks say all it takes is patience, perseverance and TLC to overcome the volatility associated with an insecure attachment and transform growth prospects. But it takes superhuman patience to continue investing when others are disengaging and it is clear the rewards from graphene are a long way off. |
Posted at 23/10/2017 13:01 by tom.muir I have been an investor on and off since 2013 and I have lost a lot of money. I paid 135p for my 1st buy!!I still thing that graphine is a winner but not necessarily for GRPH. when the price reached 1.3p I decided to buy a few purely as a punt on the company not going bust. I am not tempted to add to that so long as Darwin are still involved. There is one poster here who I suspect to be a pump and dump merchant; and I identiy him in two ways (1) he uses CAPITAL LETTERS to emphasise certain words and (2)he no track record here. The ramper I am LOOKING AT joined here in late Sept 2017 Tom |

Posted at 11/10/2017 14:58 by the egregore Looking ready to pop here. if main stream journals are mentioning GRPH. Then i expect news very soon and solid buying as investors get positioned for the Re-Birth of GRPH..Excellent IMHO. |
Posted at 05/9/2017 08:37 by kenone Meanwhile, like many 'small' investors, I'm down 95% + so might just as well hang on to see if it ever does come good ( somehow unlikely I feel ) or wave goodbye to the other 5 % and try and learn from my mistake of buying into a company just because it had 'graphene' in its name. |
Posted at 07/2/2017 19:46 by john henry Death spiral financingDeath spiral financing is a process in which convertible financing used to fund primarily small cap companies can be used against it in the marketplace to cause the company's stock to fall dramatically, which can lead to the company's ultimate downfall.Many small companies rely on selling convertible debt to large private investors (see private investment in public equity) to fund their operations and growth. This convertible debt, often convertible preferred stock or convertible debentures, can be converted to the common stock of the issuing company often at steep discounts to the market value of the common stock. Under the typical "death spiral" scenario, the holder of the convertible debt initially shorts the issuer's common stock, which often causes the stock price to decline, at which time the debt holder converts some of the convertible debt to common shares with which he then covers the debt holder's short position. The debt holder continues to sell short and cover with converted stock, which, along with selling by other shareholders alarmed by the falling price, continually weakens the share price, making the shares unattractive to new investors and possibly severely limiting the company's ability to obtain new financing if necessary.An important characteristic of this kind of convertible debt is that it often carries conditions like a quarterly or semiannual reset of the conversion price to keep the conversion price more or less close to the actual stock price. However, a lower conversion price also increases the number of shares that a bond holder gets in exchange for one bond, which increases the dilution of existing shareholders. A lower price reset can also force investors that have set up a long CB/short stock position to sell more stock ("adjust the delta"), creating a vicious circle, hence the nickname death spiral.Companies willing to agree to financing on these terms are often desperate and could not obtain funding through any other means. The terms, though viewed by some as onerous, give the lender a potential way to recover their debt regardless of what happens to the shares of the company. The lender would have a potentially greater gain if the shares were to increase in value, but if they decrease in value, there is some protection. Otherwise, they would probably not be willing to lend the money because of the poor risk profiles of the companies interested in this type of financing. |
Posted at 05/1/2017 18:52 by mdvorkin Seems to be a mix of both good comments and bad. I for one am very pleased that with all the problems the company has been able to relist and therefore stakeholders have the opportunity to either leave or stay.An article issued today on seeking alpha gives a reasonably good update on the current graphene market and is also very positive towards Graphene Nanochem. I've provided the link but also attached the info. Graphene Investing In 2017 Jan. 5, 2017 10:45 AM ET Summary The risks are high especially in mineral mining stocks promoting their intentions to insert themselves in the graphite and graphene nascent industry. Stock picking is a worthless endeavor using traditional fundamental and technical analyses. Investors do grunt work to find companies with which they feel comfortable. Nevertheless, graphene is the most exciting new industry since the digital revolution and there are four companies worthy of investment consideration. High Risks My first background article addressing the wonder chemical graphene for Seeking Alpha cautions investors to the high risks involved: · There are few publicly traded companies. · They are in the R&D stage of development, or in · Mining minerals that carry heavy baggage from governments · Seed stage of developing with unconfirmed products for commercial and healthcare applications, and · Companies are hindered by high costs and first stage technology for producing graphene in mass quantity. Unending Growth Potential Nevertheless, it is the most exciting new industry since the digital revolution. Materials & Chemicals Market Research News just released a report affirming, "We expect that China's graphene market size will grow at a compound annual rate of over 90% in 2016-2020." It also lists more than a dozen companies engaged in mining minerals, R&D, and commercialization of graphene. My biochemist educated son forwards science articles to me practically every day. Articles about graphene awakened me to the ways graphene will change our lives. The potential for graphene commercialization is seemingly unending, a sui generis. Information about new applications of graphene in science publications out in the few short weeks since my article in Seeking Alpha detail applications for graphene having the potential to detect cancer cells, improve 3-D printing, make ammunition and guns more efficient and effective, produce a super-strong silk that conducts electricity, helps other materials handle 1,000 times more current than regular materials, build better, safer and longer lasting lithium ion batteries (demand is growing 20% per year), fuel cells, and nuclear reactors. How to Proceed with Investments Fundamentally sound statistical and technical analyses do not yet apply to any pure graphene companies. Stock picking is a worthless endeavor unless investors do the grunt work. I suggest investors find a company that is: · Led by an experienced business management team, · Sticking with a strong sensible business plan, · Deep pocketed with enough cash secured to carry it out, and · Led by a business management team that complements the R&D people. In my earlier article I addressed three small companies with long term potential for growth and profitability: Haydale Graphene Industries (OTC:HDGHF) Graphene 3D Labs (OTCQB:GPHBF) Applied Graphene Materials (OTCPK:APGMF) Early Birds Here is a brief analysis of several listed in the MCMRNews. The first two exemplify the risky business of graphite mining companies. The third investors ought to seriously investigate commercializes graphene with marketability. Northern Graphite Corp (OTCQX: NGPHF) is a start-up company with no revenues but listing a $10m market cap. More than 5,000 are traded almost daily. This Ottawa, CN based company mines graphite. It cannot control fluctuating world prices on the downside. NGPHF touts the company produces "the highest percentage of large flake material, the best infrastructure, the lowest capital costs and the lowest unit operating costs...the highest margins" in an industry with exponentially growing demand for graphene. The share price 42-weeks high was 47 cents. A share sells today for 20 cents. Insiders hold seven percent of the shares, and institutions hold 1.27% shares. StreetAuthority last May describes the stock as "basically a publicly traded business plan." NGPHF reports a chest of $658,000 down from a $1.5 six months ago. Then company reports securing 100% interest in the Bissett Creek graphite property located in Ontario. A Seeking Alpha contributor suggested in May 2015 that Focus Graphite (OTCQX: FCSMF) was not transparent in its use of money raised from stock sales, nor explains "or how it will create value" in the graphite market. They are still listed with shares at 5 cents down from 22 cents. On December 28, 2016, Critical Metals reported FCSMF raised $212,500 from the sale of 2.125M shares. It too is a mining company producing graphite concentrate. A Stand-Out Company Graphene NanoChem PLC (OTCPK: GRPEF) is a very interesting company selling for 16 cents per share. It is a commercialization company "that designs, formulates, manufactures and markets a range of nano-enhanced solutions, from chemicals to performance materials." GRPEF focuses on the oil and gas sectors: fuel additives, oilfield chemicals, and performance chemicals. Its Advanced Materials Division uses graphene nanomaterials for production of chemical synthesis processes, and uses graphene dispersion to enable application for specific performance uses and product commercialization. The company does not intend to become a market supplier of graphene nanomaterials, but uses the proprietary technology for enhancing strategic partnerships in commercialization initiatives. The company headquarters are in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. On December 28, 2016 it was announced Graphene NanoChem won its first order for $360,000 causing shares. The share price spiked from a penny trade to 48 cents. Shares currently nearly touch 16 cents. 4,000 barrels of a smart fluid were sold for use in China to make shale drilling faster and improve environmental and economic qualities in two wells. If successful, GRPEF may be tapped to supply its smart fluid to more than 300 other wells China expects to drill in the near future. It is partnering with Scomi for drilling in Southeast Asia. GRPEF is emerging as one of the most promising publicly traded companies. Management wants to design and commercialize its own products. They are decisively defining their target market, and management has little intention of allowing debt-fueled profligacy. Theirs is a tight business plan demonstrating confidence and determination to build the business in their image and maintain control of their future. |
