Nanoco Share Discussion Threads

The share price has been around the 40p mark for the majority of the last year, it's not 'falling off a cliff' by still being there.

I'm not trying to portray a pretty picture, we all want sales and the price won't improve until we get them but some of the posts on here went from mind-numbingly tedious to downright inaccurate a while ago.

I can only assume dissenters are continually posting in the hope the company takes note, in which case they might be better served contacting the company themselves than littering this forum with the same unsubstantiated rhetoric day in day out.

3p away from its all time low in the history of the company. 80p down from 2 years ago, not good really. For saying we apparently have contracts with DOW and Merck.

'The share price is falling off a cliff'

It's currently within 3p of its price this time last year.

Let's try and keep it rational and constructive.

if you want to see an example of share price shenanigens have a look at the Digital Barriers (DGB) thread (particularly post 273)

silence is golden, or in nano's case, silence is sacred.
share price falling of a cliff, and not a squeak from the pr dept.
I sometimes wonder if they have all joined an order of trappist monks
under vows of silence.

They will own 25% of QMA and 50% of the profits which is a pretty good damn deal.Partners are multi billionaires managing billions every year in china and they just received 430 million in funds from the Chinese government recently as well.QMA at the moment is a private company.Not soliciting just the facts.We will see by the end of this year where the chips lay in the display industry.

Notimpressed: I agree. I believe very little from QMC. How much of QMA will QMC own? QMC are effectively leasing its technology and have increasingly substantial payments in the near future. Yet, this accounts payable commitment does not appear on its balance sheet. What is going on?

[notimpressed] 10/3/2017 19:29

Crunch if the qmc link is to be
believed it is the death of all competition. You have to question the factual accuracy and the impartiality of the report.

With all the non news the fact the share price has remained so constant at 40p for so long I see as a BIG positive sign

[ih_169538] 10/3/2017 18:31

According to BCC Research, the market for QD's will reach approximately $8B by 2022, yet amazingly there are very few companies that actually make them. Nanoco, Nanosys, Hansol, and Quantum Materials Corp ("QMC"), are the predominant players in the space

They have taken a position. Like we all do. You don't necessarily continuously increase that position just because you are convinced of the investment case. There is such a thing as risk management.

[roadster750] 10/3/2017 14:14

Conversely if they knew of negative information would they not be increasing their shorts

[notimpressed] 10/3/2017 14:05

onething, that is the million dollar question. if the shorts
had any suspicion of news likely to drive the share price northwards,
it would be safe to assume they would close their positions
at the lowest possible price

[roadster750] 10/3/2017 14:03

We know GMT are also long Nano because they are above the 3% notification the other shorters may well be long, so we know GMT are just hedging.

[onething] 10/3/2017 13:11

Once short positions have been opened the damage is done. The selling pressure has occurred. Closing a short requires generating buying pressure and at some point, unless the company folds, short positions must be covered.My concern with short positions is why are they being held? What does the holder think they know that I/we don't.Some closed on the recent rally to 70p, but there was a large residual short interest that sat tight and found itself back at max profit at these all time lows.

Is Dow now a separate entity?

Growing interest in cadmium-free quantum dots

Global environmental regulations such as RoHS (restriction of hazardous substances), REACH (registration, evaluation, authorization and restriction of chemicals), and TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act) have set limitations on the amount of cadmium, mercury, and lead that can be used in consumer electronic devices. This has resulted in the development and manufacture of cadmium-free quantum dots by vendors such as Dow Chemical Company, Nanoco, Nanosys, and Quantum Material. The cadmium-free QDs are environmentally friendly and efficient, which is pushing for their increased adoption in the market.

[notimpressed] 10/3/2017 12:49

lets hope it includes 7-8 million revenue

[andycapped] 10/3/2017 12:36

I'm not concerned with the short positions. I'm only interested on what is on Nanocos balance sheet when they report their interim.

[notimpressed] 10/3/2017 10:48

Looking like another 0.5 million trades day.
Can only hope though most unlikely, shorts are closing their
positions.

[roadster750] 10/3/2017 10:23

JC Drunker is the apparent puppet master in this circus,its the power behind him that will determine the outcome of this issue, imho.

Nice find ih. Let's hope something comes of that. Here's the link for anybody who can't find it. hxxps://chemicalwatch.com/54115/european-ngo-voices-opposition-to-cadmium-exemption-proposal. 'ChemSec comments' under Further information is also interesting.

European NGO voices opposition to cadmium exemption proposal

9 March 2017 / Electrical & electronics, Europe, Metals, RoHS

NGO ChemSec has voiced its strong opposition to a European Commission proposal to exempt colour converting light-emitting diodes (LEDs) from a restriction on cadmium.

The organisation's concerns come in comments to the Commission's consultation on a draft amendment to the EU Directive on the restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment.

The NGO says cadmium-based quantum dots cause "serious illnesses and present a severe danger to the environment, throughout the production chain.

"Cadmium and other heavy metals in consumer products should therefore be restricted."

ChemSec says alternative cadmium-free technologies are widely available. And, it adds, manufacturers such as Samsung, LG, Apple and Sony have already adopted a no-cadmium policy.

The organisation's policy adviser, Frida Hök, says the NGO was very surprised to see the proposal. "There is no justification to exempt cadmium-based display products," she says. "Doing so would be against the principles and purpose of RoHS, and would weaken the environmental and health protection of the European Union."

The Commission proposes that the exemption be adopted in May. Entry into force would come 60 days after publication in the EU Official Journal.

A 2016 consultation recommended three-year exemptions for cadmium in colour converting II-VI LEDs, for use in solid state illumination or display systems.
