*IF* we close @ 250p level today.. you know what happens next week, right? RogK gets super angry / priced out forever at we head towards next target, 315p LOL

That will teach me! Post 3697 was closer to the mark than my fruitless attempt to engage with you. So what you have is “They had no choice” X 2, babbling like a baby. You managed to miss quote the company, provide zero rationale or evidence to support your claim & fill me with reject. Watch out people, Rogk’s back in the game :)

[rogk] 21/1/2021 15:25

tp5588, the reason IKA decided to go it alone was because they had no choice. They had no income and grant funding was zero after leaving the EU. Nobody would license their IP. They had no choice but to go it alone and they stated they needed the pilot line to be dedicated to R&D.

[phil2003] 21/1/2021 14:57

Hello.. Yeah.. Stick an iceberg in.. Yeah.. Get as many IKA as you can for £2.40 yeah Yeah.. OK (The conversation driving today’s chart pattern)

Rogk, it’s no fun if you don’t play. Pls don’t leave town. On a (more) serious note; they did mess up the whole licencing thing, but it is old news. With hindsight, the company going straight from R&D to licencing was overly ambitious. The initial £1m licence fee plus what we now know would be £4m equipment/installation plus IKA consultancy etc seems to have been too bigger cost/risk for the 3rd parties to bear. Look at Murata & CPX. IKA adapted. Create and demonstrate a fully-fledged manufacturing facility with definitive costs, equipment sourcing & efficient operation (tba). I would imagine individual customer orders in medtech (e.g) would be for what 50-200 units to create prototypes for testing & FDA submission. Licencing isn’t suitable for that. IKA’s new fab is, where they supply relatively small quantities to a lot of customers. The cost to each customer is relatively negligible but IKA enjoys high margins & relatively high output. (over use of "relatively"?) Why the licencing model hasn’t worked yet is probably cost, but it might have been related to the scope of ip and/or something else. The fab is a bridge that was needed. Common-sense and the directors (mentioning letters of intent) suggests that more substantial orders are in motion/will be forthcoming. Expansion in capacity etc then leads to licencing. These are some of my thoughts re the whole licencing thing (circa 2014-2018). How factual they are, I don’t know & to a large extent it doesn’t matter. It’s old news.

So where’s he living now? :) “I don't need to ask because I know the answers already” so the point of asking the question here is…..?

[rogk] 21/1/2021 12:28

I don't need to ask because I know the answers already. Shame you chaps don't. You already ran one of the most knowlegable contributors out of town for his comments. If you were confident you wouldn't need to shout down negative comments.

[tp5588] 21/1/2021 11:50

Rogk, Ouch!! Someone should at least cuddle you afterwards…. The Q & A session just 7 days ago, advertised well in advance….. If you really wanted to know anything you would have asked. Wouldn't you?

[jimmyann] 21/1/2021 11:42

Rogk, You need to get some help.

[phil2003] 21/1/2021 11:39

Nearly back down to your £1.20 sell out point Rogk, LOL Flag pattern continues prior to next leg up

[rogk] 21/1/2021 11:38

jimmyAnn, you can't stand anyone telling the truth.

[jimmyann] 21/1/2021 11:23

Rogk, The rubbish you write is unbelievable!!.Absolute twaddle! Move on. We know investing in Ilika is not for you.

[shstt1] 21/1/2021 11:06

Stammering donkey, dyofr

[rogk] 21/1/2021 08:49

Pray tell where is has been documented why they haven't managed to license it out?

[shstt1] 21/1/2021 08:39

If you don’t know that by now (it’s well documented) you haven’t been paying attention Just move on, we get it you hate Ika

[rogk] 21/1/2021 07:38

Shstt1, pray tell why nobody is interested in licensing Stereax? They've been marketing it for years now.

[shstt1] 20/1/2021 20:56

Except those after hrs were likely sells filled phil Over on the US otc it’s not joining in the tech rally there tonight with QS tanking to a third the high.

[techtrader5] 20/1/2021 20:41

Sold today Looks like it could have hit double top and the risk of gap fill to 120p is too great for me not to run.

[phil2003] 20/1/2021 18:17

Great end of day buy volume, always a good sign

[phil2003] 20/1/2021 18:17

Ahmad, to explain why only amateurs attempt to short term trade shares such as this..(Assume you’re placing spread bets at £10 per pip movement) ilika spread.. the 7 point spread here means as soon as you click your mouse & place your trade, you’re out of pocket by £70 (or put another way) you need the share price to move by 8p just to get out with a £10 profit. ilika ADV.. The Average Daily Volatility = how much the share price historically moves per day (in pence) say @ 16 here.. so you‘ll risk 8 pips vs. max win of x8 pips = £80 max payday = ta ta.. you’ve blown your account in months. Vs... Amazon’s 60 cents spread... Amazon’s spread looses you less than £1 to place the same trade as above. Amazon ADV = $115 average movement per day.. >£1 risked vs. x115 pips max win = £1,150 payday from £1 risked. And that is pro trader vs. retail punter lesson day 1 over 9am coffee. simples?

They're too busy watching the inauguration pantomime today
