Nanoco Share Discussion Threads

Thank you, Enteleon. It cheered me up a bit :)

Robotface- there is, as you probably know, an enormous research effort pursuing quantum computing. The quantum world is a very strange place wherein a particle can be in a number of different states, or positions, at any one time. This is called super-position. This effect is derived from the Schroedinger Wave Equation which describes the evolution of a quantum wave, using a combination of real numbers and imaginary numbers.

These super-positions are exceedingly delicate and can be rapidly "decohered" into classical states. This is called "collapse" of the Wave Function and the way the wave collapses becomes a spread of probabilities. Quantum computer engineers want to take advantage of the potentially phenomenal computing speed and breadth of these super-positions and also the extreme delicacy of the super-positional state to give the computer an enormous security advantage. The great challenge is to protect the quantum computer from the environment, which would "collapse" the delicate super-position. The security advantage is that any unwanted intruder (hacker) would decohere the delicate state and prevent intrusion. The potential for quantum computers is enormous.

So, the use of Quantum Dots in quantum computer research extends the "platform" of QD technology. Nanoco is, by Edelman's own admission, a "geeky" company and the potential will not be lost on the bright scientists at Nanoco and elsewhere.

Relevance to Nanoco Syd?

[notimpressed] 13/3/2017 17:05

syd, pity they can[t detect upward share price direction
there isn't any spin from the pr dept. either

My point is that if you don't like the management and you have no handle on how the business is performing then sell up and move on. Even at a loss. I have completely ignored that advice too many times. And that is why I know it is good advice.

Nanoco is a very speculative proposition. There are a lot of people invested here that don't regard their investment capital as punt money as they have bought higher and feel locked in to losses.However, it is a very risky share to be in simply because no one knows what is going on. It could pay off handsomely, or crash to the point where this lovely solid 40p baseline will be seen as a distant and gut wrenchingly lost opportunity to exit. There are plenty of companies out there winning contracts, delivering product and banking profits. And updating their shareholders.

mrplay, what was the subject of your enquiry.
I will be surprised if you receive a reply

[mrplay] 13/3/2017 16:11

37.75p wow - Sent email to Nanoco. Mike's on vacation. Enjoying some time off at his yacht club

Who has said the prospects are rosy?

I just said that there's nothing to suggest we are on the brink of oblivion, which some of the daily posts on here would lead us to believe.

I'm already looking forward to tomorrow's posts bemoaning the lack of information and predicting no revenue. They are a great source of enlightenment to us all.

[mrplay] 13/3/2017 14:48

Reminds me of the big bang theory show. Every time Mike gets through a big meeting and blags it.

Howard (MIKE): We’ve hit a bit of a snag. We’re already behind schedule.
Colonel Williams (Share holders): How long do you need?
Howard (MIKE): We, we’re thinking, two years.
Colonel Williams (Share holders): All right.
Howard (MIKE): That’s it? You’re okay with that?
Colonel Williams (Share holders): What, you think you’re the first government contractor who isn’t gonna deliver on time? We’re still waiting for a big space laser Reagan ordered to beat the commies.
Leonard: Thanks for understanding, sir.
Howard (MIKE): Yes, thank you so much.
Sheldon: We, we really appreciate it.
Leonard : All right, pressure’s off
Howard (MIKE): Wanna see a movie?
Sheldon : Popcorn’s on me.

if the prospects are rosy why is their such a churn in the shares?.
if the future is positive no one would be trading, holding tight
on to what they hold, in the full knowledge that they are due
big profits.
not negativity or mischief making but common sense.
also the shorts would have closed eons ago

[wjs81] 13/3/2017 13:24

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.

[mrplay] 13/3/2017 13:02

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.

[wjs81] 13/3/2017 11:44

'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.

[minsky] 13/3/2017 10:54

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

[notimpressed] 13/3/2017 10:16

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.

[mwwh] 11/3/2017 15:22

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.

[firminator1] 10/3/2017 18:58

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

[onething] 10/3/2017 14:17

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.
