Woody, I hope so! Looking at property in Spain at the end of next week with a view to buy next year, so I need my eggs truly hard boiled by then.

As they're both Growth Builder Ambassadors, Neill may already be talking to Sherry Coutu, Chair of the Scaleup Institute.

It's ADVFN, best to keep the mushroom growing environment method in play.

We have torches 'they' don't.

Glad to hear you're having a fruitful day super, care to share?

rct - "I have far too many eggs in the one basket now!"

Don't worry these eggs are +Nanene so won't break :-)

Thoughts are good, research is better, I'm halfway down the track and some haven't heard the starting gun sound yet.

I wrote to Vivo on Wednesday asking if they could give ma an idea when their graphene enhanced trainers would be available but haven't had a response from them yet.

And my absolute last top up, 3065 @ £1.139. I have far too many eggs in the one basket now!

Why would NR meet with AIM bigwigs?

AIM has had such bad publicity with rogue companies so it needs to encourage the success stories to hang around rather than migrate to the main market. Whilst the tax advantages of being listed on AIM remain there shouldn't migrate. Should VRS ever get to the stage that it absolutely needs to be on the main market, I don't think we'll mind!

As the company grows, it should beef up its board with a couple of relevant NEDs to keep up the corporate governance standards. NR no doubt wants to hear what AIM are doing about enforcing the regulations about posting rubbish online - a tricky area when it's an opinion, but blatant liars, bullish and bearish, need to be rooted out.

A discussion around LSE China trading link, dual listing etc. as there will be teething trouble with the link since it could create a lot of unwanted volatility in less liquid names. I think it will be rolled out from FTSE100 slowly. Chinese investors who already have cash offshore are fine to trade now but controls have been in place for some time now restricting the amount that can be taken offshore to prop up the renmimbi.

Chinese companies listing on AIM have burnt investors badly so VRS will not doubt need reassurances that they aren't going to be unintended collateral damage via the LSE Shanghaai link.


AIM is a platform for growth business and would love to export the franchise. LSE owns the Borsa Italiana and there is an AIM market there too but it has not been a success as there are not the same owner incentives to list - tax etc. In fact Italian companies frequently look at UK AIM rather than the one in their own back yard, although with Brexit that has gone quiet for now.

Product comparison - With the Inovo8 shoe & possible VivoBarefoot we may
have a real world comparison of GO vs GNP performance in rubber.

Reading here:
I wondered if the performance parameters of the rubber are more related to
the number, size & quality of the platelets rather than if it's a Graphene
platelet or GO platelet.
Many variables in all this of course, cost of process, materials, advantages,
market 'hype' value...

Inovo8 started work with MOU Dec2017 and now release product, about 6 months.
VivoBarefoot started work with VRS end Feb 2018, +6 months gives August
for a possible product release.

Mike - 2200 shares. I'm on the team don't worry. Total holding 5500 roughly. Can't afford more, hoping to he rewarded over next couple years

[spike_1] 22/6/2018 12:33

sonsonny, are we talking thousands, or hundreds of shares purchased just now - just curious.

Best wishes - Mike

Forest same just now. Same price too. Seems a good opportunity

No, China and the U.K. Gov' are not going to delay the announcement about the opening of one 'factory' to start production of graphene, just so it can appear at the launch of a link between LSE and Shanghai bourse.

It is frankly ridiculous idea IMO, as it would quite possible/probably mean delaying the deal and subsequent start up, in exchange for what? so that a small unknown company, not even in the proper market, can make a killing - give me strength.

When the link up happens, the news will initially concentrate on the investment opportunities within blue chip companies, and known brands that the Chinese already know and love. If VRS were to be part of launch day, given that it is a nothing company on a micky mouse exchange it would get zero coverage. Especially as British industry doesn't even use their product (factually correct - apart from 1 on-line gizmo seller who hasn't actually got a product out there using it).

For goodness sake, most Brit's (it seems) don't even know graphene exists, and in China there are literally hundreds of companies associated directly with graphene. For all we know it might well have a bad name right now (hence the need to find proper graphene), and without an operational ISO credential in place, it's just one more factory working with ... yes .... graphene again. I don't suppose they are short of new factories of one sort or another starting up almost every day.

[rogerbridge] 22/6/2018 12:21

The China LSE tie up is very exciting but I hope that VRS have protection in place in the event of a takeover bid.

The Chinese and Americans would value VRS much higher. Unfortunately we have many fund managers that have not heard of graphene.
They soon will!

Thanks grabster, that makes sense.

Sod's Law - Had a buy order in at 113.5p all morning while at work which didn't get filled. As soon as I cancel the order and buy at 114.3, the price heads down! Never mind, what's a few pence in the grand scheme of things.

[senden11] 22/6/2018 12:05

Games still being played, as my 5300 pre-midday buy through HL is showing as a sell. All ready now for anything which may surface next week!

[grabster] 22/6/2018 12:03

Of the scheme does extend to AIM - or if VRS does indeed go for a mainmarket listing - the fact that out-of-hours trading would be involved presumably means greater fluctuations in the opening price each morning? The UK market would presumably be expected to react to overnight trading action.

".. The system would be a “new concept of stock connect” that would allow Chinese investors to trade stocks listed in London outside of UK trading hours .."

China time is 7 hours ahead of UK time.
0800 to 1630 UK time is 1500 to 2330 in China.

[woodpeckers] 22/6/2018 11:58

Hate to be a party pooper re the stock market link up but in that article it said that the effect would actually be minimal as the Chinese can already buy UK shares if they want to via off shore accounts.

[sonsonnyjim] 22/6/2018 11:55

Great to see the confidence on here :) superg with your seeming knowledge om starting to wonder if you're NR in disguise hahaha
