Graphene Nano Share Discussion Threads

Someone posted a very dry but pretty accurate comment about the MM on one Aim share BB yesterday. In terms the comment was that the MM were shorting commodity shares by borrowing shares to provide liquidity on big news days when private investors were buying. By definition they are short selling the sales to private investors.A week or so later when all the excitement has subsided, the MM widen the spread and knock the price down so that they can cover those sales at a lower cost.

fortitude. yes, we all need that with GRPH. Another dire day on the markets. Not just us, most small caps getting hammered.

The Service for Alan Cleverly is at Guilford Cathedral next Thursday. Cancer takes far too many. Given his heroic fight against his illness for some two years, the decision to remain a director until the end says much about his fortitude.

Although he was not a shareholder he was the nominated by a significant UK shareholder in this Company, and a former Chairman of Surrey Heath Conservative Party. One of his business premises is the Company's Registered Offices.

Very sad news about the death of Alan Cleverly. He was only 68. Parliamentary Agent to the Lord Chancellor and very much involved in the small business community. He was particularly well regarded in the Conservative Party for his fund raising.

See HAYD reported a £0.8m revenue for the half year today GRPH reported £7m revenue from only Graphene product for the same period.
With HAYD with a market cap of £18m there is a huge valuation difference which hopefully will be addressed when GRPH sort out the long term funding.

Hi Leeds we should have the graph solve results this quarter did you read the 16 page tech paper on the drilling fluid test .



Scomi together with the technical partner had developed series of nano graphene engineered product
in mass production scale, one of the latest product that had been field trial successfully in the region
is a graphene enhanced product that provides superior lubricity and thermal stability to the water
based drilling fluids. It is a blend of proprietary surfactants engineered with nano graphene, where
graphenes will penetrates into microscopic pores of the tubular metal, crystalized in layers under high
pressure, forming a protective film to improve lubricity, prevent bit balling, improve BHA’s life span,
improve ROP, and most important of all improving fluids’ thermal stability.
Laboratory performance test with EP/Lubricity Tester indicated 70 –80% torque reduction on a
water based salt polymer mud system, compared to conventional lubricants of only 30 –40%
reduction. The product had been field trial in a HTHP onshore well with temperature up to 176°C
(349°F), and hard formation reducing the bits’ life span to only 2–3 days. During the field trial, it’s
agreed that 2–3% of the product had improved ROP 125%, actual reaming torque reduction of 20%,
bit’s life span increased 75%, also noticed by the fluids company Scomi that fluids loss reduction
of 30% with 40% polymers concentration reduction compared to planned mud formulation, which are
additional benefits observed and yet to be continously monitor in future subsequent field trials. The
improvement in drilling performance and bits’ life span had reduced operator’s operational time and
cost.
With the success of the first field trial on nano graphene engineered drilling fluids, Company is in the
midst of developing series of graphene enhanced product to cater more challenging drilling and production
conditions.

In common with oil related shares GRPH's chart movements are currently linked to Brent oil chart movements.

For the following reasons oil was pulled back today:

1. Iran wants to get its production back to historic levels before entering into any agreement on freezing output.

2. There is a question therefore as to whether this week's scheduled oil producer's meeting in Moscow will go ahead or be postponed.

3. The $ has risen today, a trend which may continue. A strong US generally is negative for commodities priced in that currency.

One US oil traders view is that oil may trade in a range for a while. Given everything else is volatile, that would not be a surprise.

That's a hefty sell. Maybe that was the cause of the drop on Friday

[abergele] 11/3/2016 19:43

I agree leedskier,thought today they were fishing for shares by dropping the bid
but I cannot understand the m/m's.
have a nice weekend,,,perhaps Monday it will reverse the drop.

[leedskier] 11/3/2016 16:43

There has been quite a lot of buying over the last two days but the market is keeping it below the radar for some reason.

[argyle underclap] 09/3/2016 16:04

Nice 50k buy

[leedskier] 08/3/2016 13:16

Brent is currently $41, which is quite a recovery over a week.But few oil shares are being spared today in this pull back.

[leedskier] 08/3/2016 13:11

Most European indices are down today. Yes even shares in or related to the oil sector as well. On Thursday the ECB announces what, if any, measures it will introduce to help the beleaguered Eurozone. This follows the ECB meeting.I think today is intended to prod it into being bold. Draghi is keen to help. However the Germans will be trying to reign him in.

[rob67] 08/3/2016 12:52

Spoke too soon!

[kazz] 07/3/2016 11:59

Yep,you're right. :)

[rob67] 07/3/2016 11:55

SSSSShhhhh we like it like this! Don't alert those pesky shorters!

[kazz] 07/3/2016 08:54

Quiet here, considering the share price action today. Plenty of early hours volume.

[leedskier] 04/3/2016 13:08

There are ,three anticipated macro issues in play1. China stimulus2. Eurozone stimulus3. Meeting in Moscow of OPEC & Non OPEC members to stabilise the price of oilAdd to which the US economy is getting stronger, throw in the mix the falling £, ahead of the referendum, and it is all good for beaten down commodity shares.Some might think not before time.

[leedskier] 04/3/2016 12:47

Oil related shares have been rising strongly this week.

[juleshoddy] 04/3/2016 12:43

A placing probably? Call me sceptical :)

[rob67] 04/3/2016 11:55

Something is stirring

[rob67] 29/2/2016 15:34

Ditto that! All we need now is a conclusion to the ongoing refinancing and we'll be climbing back up

[argyle underclap] 29/2/2016 15:10

Great news
