Going by last year we are due a trading update any day now I believe.
Best wishes - Mike

Reward for failure -pathetic. At least he invented it -the other deadlegs on the board have achieved nothing. Still that big news is just around the corner.

Cursory glance says no barriers and a crowded market.
I'm probably wrong but pure software companies terrify me - which is why I keep worrying about my PHD, QTX & DOTD.

Stilo has crossed my radar several times. Will have a closer look at that one today as have some free time.

A technology /proprietary software company where time/costs have not run away and which is poised to deliver concept changing news to the market over coming weeks is Stilo International.(STL).Their Chairman has just added 7% of the equity!

I have held HDD ,off and on, ever since the 10 pence days.
It is a very frustrating outfit.

Don't recall the Dockers though have heard of them.Vulgar excess is probably what the masses wanted to read about. Must fess up to owning some Haydale-bt around 125p, so fairly happy.
When is the Airbus news expected -this year?

[apad] 26/8/2015 10:59

Tell me about it!
I visited BSA and was told "we don't know what we'll do when Fred retires".
Fred painted the gold oval onto the fuel tank by hand!

m,
Nanoco - I have seen so many "new materials" over the years that I have developed an immunity to the virus.
We had a presentation from an RR engineer once (on 'new materials'). His reply to the question "what new materials have been put into service in the last ten years?" was "we hope to introduce a fire-resistant polymer next year."
If you own Nanoco, keep your stop-loss close!
Unless it's a gambling chip, of course, in which case - fair enough:-)

The Airbus news could be transformational and clearly would fully validate/underwrite the technology.I have more or less stopped investing in any sort of technology proposition as time/costs always run away. That said I wouldn't write off Nanoco as DOW would not be joining the party there without having done serious DD. As to whether that would translate into profits for shareholders is another matter.
I think profits are essential otherwise you would be looking at a misallocation of capital.

ps
The first time they propose buying another company, I'm out!

[apad] 26/8/2015 09:14

m, you are correct, from a financial view, that this share should be sold - maybe bought on Airbus news.
I bought a very small amount (at about 1.2p) because I thought the technology to be viable and valuable. However, their customers are exceedingly conservative (I'm pleased to say) and even good technology can fail to be adopted.
Unlike you I think the management are doing a grand job. With average management this company would have already failed. However, success, to me, is survival in order to play the game - not profits for shareholders. Iff they are successful profits will be a byproduct (this is the reason Germany has a car industry and the UK doesn't)
I would not dream of following the herd into nano-graphene-stuff, but on the technology roulette wheel this one might/could, perhaps, just succeed - at which point, of course, I will wish I had bet more. But, I have a single 'chip' on this number and expect to lose it.
So, we are not all "luvies" on this board:-)

Yes well done. Suspect though there will be very few showing any sort of profit on this share.If you asked this lot in 2005 (on AIM float) where they expected to be in 2015 I don't think it would be where we are now.I hope its not the same deadlegs running it, though I think the Russian bloke is still around.
Clearly the technology works but getting any sort of commercial traction seems beyond them.

[lateralam] 26/8/2015 07:05

I'm nicely in profit thanks having bought sub .50 however my reasons for holding remain. Happy to hold.

[meijiman] 24/8/2015 11:20

Bt these some time ago and sold -at a loss. Keep dropping in to observe 'progress'. Sorry to be one one of the believers.
Obviously at some point you believe you will make some money out of this -so good luck with that.
I had a quick refresher to see what interested me in the first place.Whatever it was it seems to have gone.
The share price seems to have been more or less 1-2p since 2009! I note there are over 1 bn shares in issue.What amount of earnings do you anticipate to make a meaningful P/E ratio? The only means of sustaining this is to issue more and more of this paper.

[lateralam] 23/8/2015 13:49

As I said, stop whinging and sell. You're clearly not happy with your investment. My investment here is a tiny proportion of my portfolio and I have my own reasons for staying put. The only person responsible for your situation is you. Let it go.

[meijiman] 22/8/2015 11:26

Er yes fair advice. Clearly this is a luvvies only board but it would be interesting to know what keeps you all so positive. The management has failed dismally to deliver anything of substance after years and years. The opportunity cost of holding this share has been huge.One of the best bits of advice I picked up with regard to start up tech stocks was that if it doesn't get traction early doors it will never be a commercial success. ansc -suspect you are part of the management or a mate of the management as you clearly are not cut out to make money in the stockmarket.Let's review in six months.This was broker ramped ahead of the last fund raising -in fact it ticks most of the boxes for a rubbish aim share which should never have been listed, or came to the market 5 years too early . Who has funded this and the salaries of the board and advisers-you have.Food for thought.

Sell then old boy. Simples. Put your money to better use elsewhere.

[meijiman] 21/8/2015 09:20

Great share this -it consistently disappoints. Let's move forward three years ...share price rises 10% to 1.1p. Well done management of Hardide you are utterly useless but I think you know that already.Oh Ive got it all wrong, the share price is down because of imminent nuclear war between the Koreas. What a relief then -nothing to worry about here.It's all on track as set out in the listing doc of ten years ago.

With the mark-up this morning, just out of curiosity, a couple of dummy trades revealed prices (for 250k) of 1.215/1.38p. Are they kidding! We know the Mingy Machs are still stuffed with a sack-full of 1.16p shares and they expect investors to give them a margin of 19%. Hilarious or rather ridiculous!

Hardide Aerospace Coatings appoints Business Development Manager

Hardide Aerospace Coatings has appointed Stewart Gibson as Business Development Manager to drive forward the company’s global sales activity in the civil and military aerospace sectors.

Stewart has more than 30 years of experience within the advanced surface coatings industry, has in-depth knowledge of the aerospace sector and extensive commercial and technical expertise.

He joins from Castolin Eutectic, part of Messer Group, where he was Global Coatings Manager with responsibilities that included customer and product diversification. Prior to that, Stewart held senior operational and sales positions in Bodycote Surface Technology, Renold Power Transmission, Vickers Engineering, Praxair and Hawker Siddeley Group.

Why any investor would be prepared to pay 1.29p/share at the moment (this morning) is frankly beyond me. The Mingy Machs are sitting with their satchels full - at least 2.0m shares, the remnants of that 3.0m sale last Thursday - which they bought for 1.16p/share; a mark-up of 11.2% in three days on minimum buying, no thanks.

On top of that, our seller is probably still lurking so the share price isn't likely to be going anywhere fast ..... unless we get news re aerospace of course!

[ansc] 18/6/2015 13:47

706k allegedly bought so far today and the share price still at its low point for the day, must be a 'biggy'.
