Cinoib, What percentage of your punts go down ?

[cinoib] 07/9/2020 11:35

Supercity, not a truer word was spoken, I get slagged of by some on here for just such strategy, but who cares. I make 50% while others are happy with 5%.

Actually, just been reading this,,, might be something to look at :-) Cheers Wan :-)

Solid-state lithium-metal battery startup QuantumScape has announced that it has agreed to merge with a "blank check" special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) to become a publicly traded company in the fourth quarter.
The electric vehicle battery supplier, which is backed by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates and automaker Volkswagen (VW), says it plans to go public through a reverse merger with Kensington Capital Acquisition Corp. ("KCAC") with an enterprise value of $3.3 billion. In 2018, the company and Volkswagen announced the formation of a joint manufacturing venture to prepare for the mass production of solid-state batteries.

The joint venture with VW will produce solid-state battery cells, starting in 2024, for VW's electric vehicles, and eventually for other carmakers.

“Our ambition," says QuantumScape founder and CEO Jagdeep Singh, "is to be a (battery) supplier to the industry as a whole."

QuantumScape's lithium-metal battery technology uses a solid ceramic electrolyte, which is thought to be safer than lithium batteries using a conventional liquid electrolyte. It also eliminates the need for an anode, allowing the battery to charge more quickly - up to 80% capacity in just 15 minutes.

Also, says the company, the energy density of its batteries is much higher, exceeding 400 watt-hours per kilogram, which far surpasses the 250 Wh/kg of the best current lithium-ion batteries, enabling vehicles to travel farther with the same size battery pack.

Justin Mirro, chairman and CEO of Kensington, adds, "We've done a lot of work on the technology. This is really a revolutionary step in terms of technology."

Mirro, formerly an automotive engineer for General Motors and Toyota Motor before becoming an investment banker, formed Kensington Capital Partners in 1999 and will be a board member of the combined company. Other investors in QuantumScape include German auto supplier Continental, Chinese automaker SAIC Motor, and several venture capitalist firms.

The SPAC deal is expected to close in late 2020, when the new company will trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbol "QS."

Probably another down day at ODX. Looks like a little movement forward, like last week's RNS that produced a move down, however this time they say they dont know when it will get approval.... not a good thing to be saying I suggest.



COVID-19 lateral flow antibody test already CE-Marked for professional use

Omega (AIM: ODX), the medical diagnostics company focused on CD4, infectious diseases and food intolerance, announces that the self-test usability study for the UK Rapid Test Consortium's ("UK-RTC") COVID-19 lateral flow antibody test (the "AbC-19(TM) Rapid test") has concluded.

The study was performed by Ulster University using approximately 2,000 volunteers and completed over the weekend. The AbC-19(TM) Rapid test has already been CE-Marked for professional use.....

Colin King, CEO of Omega, commented: "We're very pleased that the self-test usability study has completed and that we are progressing towards our goal of MHRA approval for self-test home use. We cannot give a timescale for when this might be achieved but we look forward to updating shareholders on further developments."

7 September 2020 - Amigo Holdings PLC - Response to social media speculation

The Board of Amigo notes the social media comments from James Benamor over the weekend in which he provides an extract of the terms of an irrevocable instruction which Richmond Group Limited ("RGL") has purportedly entered into with its broker to acquire up to 29% of the share capital of the Company at up to 20 pence per share (a link to the post is here).

Amigo will be posting its Notice of General Meeting as requisitioned by RGL on or before Friday 11th September, which will include a recommendation to shareholders to VOTE AGAINST all resolutions proposed by RGL.

In the meantime, Amigo cautions its shareholders to be aware of the following aspects of the irrevocable instruction:

-- RGL's offer to start acquiring shares is conditional on Mr Benamor being appointed CEO of Amigo and not upon him being elected to be a director of Amigo.

-- Even if the resolution to elect Mr. Benamor to the Board is passed at the forthcoming General Meeting, Mr. Benamor will not automatically become CEO. His appointment to the position of CEO requires the approval of the Board of Amigo and the subsequent approval of the FCA. There is no guarantee approval will be granted.

-- Further, RGL will in any event require the prior approval of the FCA to acquire 20% or more of Amigo shares and thereby become a "controller" of a regulated entity. There is no guarantee either that this further approval will be granted. This will limit any share purchase by RGL up to 20%. In the absence of the required prior approval from the FCA, execution of the irrevocable instruction would result in RGL committing a criminal offence when its shareholding exceeds 20%.

-- Amigo notes the speculation by Mr. Benamor that the Board may be considering a share buyback. This is not the case. There are no current plans to buyback any shares of Amigo. The resolution proposed at the forthcoming Annual General Meeting is a standard authorisation resolution which is sought on a recurring basis by most listed public companies at their Annual General Meetings and is in line with The Investment Association's Share Capital Management Guidelines.

AST looks interesting for a punt - volume increasing, £1.5m m/cap - only 75m shares in issue - once had a £40m m/cap - same assets - new BOD - CEO put in £100k at 5p - current price 2.5p.

Talk on social media suggests significant news is imminent, looks like insiders are taking positions.

[ptolemy] 06/9/2020 21:22

I've updated my technical view of AAZ here:



I hope some find it of interest.

[odsjp] 06/9/2020 20:59

Please find below the starting table for week 6.

Right hand column in yellow shows the current leader board with the left hand column this weeks entries. As normal the green entries are ones where you have specifically asked to stick or change your choice and everyone else I rolled over their choice from the previous week.

Welcome to Mattjos and Piperpeter and good luck all.



Week 6 - Start

[lhoskins] 06/9/2020 20:02

Must say that this is the best board on ADVFN.Enjoying this little weekly competition.I'm going to change from PXC this week so no doubt the share price will shoot up there lol.I'll go with ORPH this week please. Topped up on Friday. Been some very positive interviews by the main man there over the last couple of weeks. More news is due this month and hopefully we could see the seller that has been holding the share price down a bit gone soon. Good luck everyone.

[doc_oj] 06/9/2020 19:55

at the end of the day every one has different aspirations and strategies. for me, even the percentage divi i get with aaz, i am happy with although i do expect the capital to appreciate over time, dont know over how long though. happy to hold.

it is frustrating because the company is undervalued and with gold where it is, it's blindingly obvious. as to why not buy more, there is a limit to how much you will invest in a company or for that matter if you have any more funds available, which I don't - in my opinion it is perfectly ok for holders to express their frustration. there isn't always a solution to when people moan, sometimes all they want is getting it off their chest, lol

@supercity: well done to you and thanks for sharing your strategy

[pogue] 06/9/2020 19:23

Yes I am getting ready to buy more ARB just the timing is the thing

[brasso3] 06/9/2020 18:50

BTC has tended to fill the gap on CME futures. I am getting ready to load up.

[pogue] 06/9/2020 18:36

I am really struggling this week to make a choice, I am drawn towards a punt on ARB, bitcoin miner, there is a gap at $9500 which bitcoin looks like its wanting to fill, currently $10200 from just under $12000 a few days ago but I am not sure it will go down and back up in 5 days so I will go for AVCT, one day there will be news and then it will take off again and maybe it will be this week.

[supercity] 06/9/2020 16:58

I would say it was a bit of luck and a bit of judgement, I have been trading over 25 years and sometimes when I see a share on the top bb list or high volume compared to normal I just take a punt.no more than ten percent of my portfolio and I didn't sell all my AAZ it was just a percentage.UFO had dropped to 0.1p and not bounced back to the March levels where as lots of other shares had, also silver prices were rising so my thought was to get 0.15-0.2 and sell them but it just kept on going up so I sold my original stake at 0.3 and the rest as it kept getting higher. The company itself is a long long way from ever drilling or mining but many shares just keep rising for no reason where ones like this that for most of us seems very under valued just stagnate.I sold and have moved on.I did a similar thing with HEMO when I bought at 1.8 after seeing a burst in volume and watched it go to 2.5 and back to 2 so sold the lot.Less than a week later it hit an intraday high of 14p so I obviously felt gutted that I missed that one - but didn't dwell on it for too long and just moved on...you can't win them all
