Surely only a gain if he uses the money to repurchase the shares?Recent ME sales have not shown dramatic share price changes.Also other directors have not sold.In Dec 2017 it was announced Directors (mostly) would be rewarded with (considerable) additional shares subject to satisfactory 2019/20 share price growth and performance figures.Would ME deliberately affect such a reward?

Should have said Not privy to of course

Insider trading is of course forbidden for Directors in the same way as it is for PI and others.

That is not quite the same as saying the CEO is no better placed to form a better judgement or opinion about the market. Whether ME used his personal judgment to that purpose or not is not something we are privy to and we can each draw our own conclusion. He might just have needed the cash and sold down two thirds of his holding, or there could be more to it?

I was thinking about this recently so I checked the law. Here's what I found.



(The bottom line is, unsurprisingly, that nothing can be deduced from any Directors' dealings because the law forbids them from using any inside information to make gains relative to the wider market at any time. The same applies to anyone within the company.)

200k "gain" for ME on his recent share sales over where we are now.

Did anyone ever tot up his total sales volume and average price.

andy it would be nice to think nanoco cfqd were incorporated
in the display.

New blog post from Plessey.

Blue backlight with colour correction. No mention of QD, but what else collour corrects with the right accuracy and quality?

hTTps usually works ok?

[nigwit] 04/6/2019 14:32

I suspect ADVFN does that to some links. Here’s another try.

NigWit, could I ask that on your links you start them with htt instead of hxx so that they are easier to open.

hxxps://www.cnet.com/news/apple-pro-display-xdr-is-apples-insane-new-6k-monitor-starts-at-5000-mac-pro-wwdc/

Apple pro 6k monitor: HDR P3 WCG and 1000 nits, LED (not OLED). Starts at $5000.

Worth keeping an eye open for more specs.

I suspect this report confirming that, like Nanoco, Apple is working on advanced vehicle technologies may be even more interesting since it adds weight to the speculation that the two companies are partners.

Here’s the link to details about folding displays too.

I’m surprised you have not talked about the new folding Apple phone patent.

Vexation always rebounds

[notimpressed] 29/5/2019 19:22

The directors cannot be absolved of all responsibility,
but taking the charitable view as I said previously, I
think they were naive and possibly caught up in their own
hubris in not taking into account the practicalities of introducing
a new tech into a relatively new market, (the use of cd qd is really
only in its infancy)
the overarching factor is price, and even though it is nanosys et al
pushing for an extension to the cd ban, they are only being driven by
their customers.
If cd and cad free qd were equitably priced and available in
equal quantities their would be no request for an extension.

all the above IMO,

[nigwit] 29/5/2019 17:53

I think everything, including explanations for past delays, is crystal clear.

The company has only ever made statements with the usual warnings and caveats and we are all supposed to be grown ups who understand the risks.

What’s more revenue guidance has only been given recently, has so far been correct and the directors have not been drawn on exactly when purchase orders or new deals can be expected.

So, if we stay invested and things don’t go as we hope or expect then we are the only ones who are responsible.

[meijiman] 29/5/2019 16:03

Doh..meant relatively new FD. Brain fade.

[andycapped] 29/5/2019 15:06

Not expecting a constant commentary, just a reasonable explanation at interim and end of year updates on why commercialisation in display is still absent. They're happy to say when things are/might be coming after all.

[meijiman] 29/5/2019 14:50

correct..management has consistently over-egged the pudding. Relatively new ceo should be able to bring something more to the table in terms of comms.
