Vela Technologies Share Discussion Threads

[bapodra_investments] 02/3/2021 18:05

I really like Vela's investment in Mode. I think it is a shrewd move. It gives them exposure to a booming Crypto market in their portfolio but is not just reliant on Crypto. So when the 12-24 period of consolidation comes for Bitcoin, Vela, has other interests which can ensure some stability in its price.

Great news. Vela have increased their holding in Mode Global Holdings PLC.

[bapodra_investments] 01/3/2021 18:02

Currypasty - Yes it was a pretty quick response so that is a positive. They are working on the website so let's see how quickly they can update the website. It looks like they will need to issue an RNS for the update on the companies which I mentioned but for that they will actually need updates in the first place. I appreciate these things can be slow but the quicker they can tidy up loose ends in the portfolio the better. All shareholders and potential new investors can do is accumulate at these low levels to maximise any potential gains going forwards. This is why I have transferred my Vela shares into an ISA as I sense we are only at the beginning of a long journey where the value of the assets and share price of Vela are both going to increase.

[currypasty] 01/3/2021 14:24

its a reply, that's a positive I hope they update the website soon, and perhaps update the market of the plan ?

[bapodra_investments] 01/3/2021 14:10

I have received the following response by Brent Fitzpatrick from Vela Technologies PLC: "Thank you for your enquiry and we are working on the website. As you will be aware we cannot say anything about the companies intention regarding the stocks you mention without informing the market Regards Vela Technologies PLC"

Fair, cheers.

I have sent the following e-mail to Vela. Please see below: "Please can you ensure your website is up to date with the current/latest investments. There is no mention of Kanabo, Cornerstone FS or Aeristech. Any potential new investors need this basic information when conducting their due diligence before they make an informed decision on whether to invest in the company or not. Would you also please be kind enough to provide an update on the future strategy/roadmap for North Peak Resources, We Shop, Revolve Technologies and the progress on the winding up of Disruptive Tech Ltd (DTL)." I will let you all know the response I get.

looking a bit better today, perhaps it needed a bit of a clear out?

[bapodra_investments] 26/2/2021 10:49

I have sold my Vela shares this morning for a loss as they were in my trading account. I have re-bought this morning for 0.09p but in my ISA as I think the growth potential has just increased in Vela shares. I like the investments James Normand and the BoD are making. I like their style and diversification. The only investment I am not sure on is the SGS Capital but all the other investments are really exciting and will increase the value for Vela going forwards. I am far more confident now in Vela than I have ever been in the past 3-4 years I have held Vela's shares. Yes, I have taken a loss today but it was more strategic and to do with tax planning than anything else. I have bought at 0.09p in my ISA and I am very confident in Vela going forwards.

[currypasty] 25/2/2021 17:29

whats with the 100 million trade from earlier ?

[bapodra_investments] 25/2/2021 16:14

I have just contacted Vela and asked them to ensure that they keep their website up to date with correct companies that Vela have invested in and what stakes so that new potential investors have the required information to make informed decisions. I have also asked them to use the likes of LinkedIn more as the power of contacts/networks is very powerful and other companies are using it. Vela being a 'disruptive tech' company should really be using technology far more effectively and quite frankly better. Exciting times ahead though.

[currypasty] 25/2/2021 16:02

excellent! The Board of Vela (AIM: VELA) announces that it has invested GBP350,000 in Aeristech Limited ("Aeristech"), a producer of efficient, power-dense compressors for hydrogen fuel cells, as part of Aeristech's GBP5.1 million pre-IPO funding round.

[bapodra_investments] 25/2/2021 15:10

Vela has confirmed via RNS the Hydrogen Fuel Cell investment. This looks like a longer term investment with lots of potential but will require lots of patience. It seems that Vela is really diversifying so that it can weather any potential storm on UK stock markets in terms of its share price. Great news and this should see an upturn in the share price at least for the shorter term.

[bapodra_investments] 25/2/2021 14:02

Steady - Anything in the 0.06p - 0.08p price zone is a buy. I cannot see the share price going below 0.06p. If it did then I would have to seriously consider buying more myself, not that I would want to as I have millions of shares in Vela and a bit too many for my liking. I am happy as long as the price stays above 0.08p in the short term. I think the lowest it will fall is 0.06p but current prices seem good value to me.

[volsung] 25/2/2021 13:57

Bought a few more on the dip

[steadyeddyguy] 25/2/2021 13:36

Does anyone think the price may fall below 0.08p or if it’s the right time to start loading now ?

[steadyeddyguy] 25/2/2021 13:07

Good job I sold between 0.09 and 0.115 during the last climb. Could be in the 8s for a few weeks until trial results so a good time to accumulate again! 👍

[bapodra_investments] 25/2/2021 12:01

Curry - True, I agree. However I have been a shareholder in Vela since around 2017 so I have seen many of these millions being added to become billions. Thankfully I added at 0.08p to seriously/significantly bring my average down so that I have a realistic chance of breaking even or possibly profiting from my Vela investments. I have to thank my experience with Vela has it has taught me some valuable/harsh lessons.

[currypasty] 25/2/2021 11:56

not many in the 12 billion scheme of things, but it might explain the 10m sells going through.. you only usually exercise if you want to sell, or time on option is running out.

[bapodra_investments] 25/2/2021 11:48

Another 51.8m shares. Great!!!

[bapodra_investments] 25/2/2021 11:21

I forgot Revolve Technologies. What is going on there?

[bapodra_investments] 25/2/2021 10:04

Blueblood - The list does not include Kanabo. Vela are notoriously bad for updating their website. Curry - Don't forget the Hydrogen is not a done deal yet but hopefully some positive news to be released shortly. Both - Look at the recent Vela RNS and you will find no mention of SGS Capital and the trial. I am treating the SGS Capital as a 'bonus' in the portfolio. If it comes off great but if not then I have managed my expectations. I think Mode, Cornerstone, Kanabo and new investments will drive Vela going forwards in the short to medium term. I still would like more detail on North Peak and We Shop along with Disruptive Tech which was being wound down. I would like to know what Vela's specific roadmap/plans are here.

[blueblood] 25/2/2021 08:57

Be interesting to see how they invest current cash now too!

[currypasty] 25/2/2021 08:54

yes, that and the fuel cell technology company.. its impossible to switch all automotive to battery, not enough lithium on the planet
