Can't be having too low an opinion of Lombard?They have been major with nano some considerable time, and making a cool (near) half million profit over 8 months is what we are all after.

howl, maybe not tomorrow but certainly in the very near future

Fingers at the ready for a prelim statement in the morning

[notimpressed] 09/8/2018 16:15

LO reducing, 20.26% from 22.91%

[notimpressed] 08/8/2018 17:04

with this volume is it not unreasonable
to assume the share price should have risen higher?
hl showing 11.391 million traded

[from8to800] 08/8/2018 16:33

Seem like buys to me...

Share price continues to strengthen. That's all that matters.

[notimpressed] 08/8/2018 15:08

advfn trades indicator has gone a bit covfefe

[from8to800] 08/8/2018 13:09

86 week H&S bottom forming. I'm interested. Buy stop in place.

[ghaon] 08/8/2018 12:52

Probably buys judging by the share price reaction

[bagpuss67] 08/8/2018 12:51

Would be nice to break through 50p. I remember when I though it was bad that it fell through £1!

[jfacwc] 08/8/2018 12:16

Couple very Large sells go through, share price remains relatively unaffected?

[red army] 06/8/2018 21:07

I still believe that this is getting prepared for the US as they have some say and influence. They probably know better than management on how to grow this company.

[notimpressed] 06/8/2018 20:43

watson ME et al could be more forthcoming with updates
but par for the course, we are back to the mushroom syndrome,
kept in the dark and fed on manure.

Enteleon,

Exactly, Wiggin's CV is marketing, sales and customer facing.

He needed to step up to tight production timeframes or the business would be penalised with reduction in milestone payments. The Yanks may be generous but they are not fools and won't pay for failure.

As for Blain, it's probably the same story.

It's a cruel world business. At least Nano are learning the hard way having to cull 40% of their staff in the last 24 months. But maybe those dumpted didn't have much more to offer.

Such is the nature of capitalism and how you make money of other people....

But don't give me the 'he was a great businessman' nonsense. It just doesn't stack up at this point in time.

[enteleon] 06/8/2018 17:29

ih- thanks for the Wiggins CV. Significant that Wiggins had serious experience with Dow, presumably the reason he was employed by Nano, but now he moves on. As a chemist, turned marketing/business guy, he's unlikely to have the production engineering experience to get a complex and sensitive production process going at Runcorn.

Display flat-lining- industry reluctant to take up QDots, despite Dow/duPont's quality certification of Nano QDots. No word ref. AUO, Kyulux et al. To bear out your point, rochdae, Dow have committed at least $50M to their QDot factory build, with apparently no commercial success so far.

All points to a brave new direction for Nano. As the Yanks would say- Nano is starting over !

[roadster750] 06/8/2018 16:35

id say the ceo is a total punt aswell

[howl01] 06/8/2018 16:06

Trust me rochdae the guy is well experienced in all the aspects of which you mention. As for why the departure - who knows? You seem to have the impression they were pushed? Maybe they felt circumstances are such they believe it's time to cut their ties and disagree with the direction the company's taking. Certainly strategy is all over the place and now everyone is supposed to believe in a product/technology that was recently being touted for sale. An unknown partner and unknown end product/market/margin etc etc. The investment is actually relatively modest - do chemical companies invest millions installing plant that is ultimately not utilised? Damn right they do - you may be surprised how common it is and it seems the larger the company the more common it is and larger the sums involved. (Have a look at Air Products' waste to energy plants on Teesside as an extreme example) A lot more information required to make any informed opinion and any investment is a total punt. The CEO's behaviour does not help build confidence.

[rochdae] 06/8/2018 15:13

Easy to list posts.

What experience does Wiggins have starting a new production facility.

Why did he leave?

Come one guys just give an opinion ....

Easy to say someone's wrong without evidence to the contrary. In fact it's a sign of lunacy.

If Wiggins was such a great asset why has he gone? Any reasoned explanation?

And your last post is evidence of shallow thinking. At least comment on what you are trying to say.

[howl01] 06/8/2018 09:57

May be worth a read for all the budding armchair scientists out there.
