Interesting link Spike. Reminds me of the fact that in the Yukon gold rush it was the merchants selling picks and shovels that made more fortunes than the miners. Fortunately VRS is selling the modern equivalent of picks and shovels.

I think I'm going to have a top up folks .

Hope SG can disclose some info of sale post market close.

ps. general market weakness, Turkey Lira US Dollar related also.

[pshevlin] 13/8/2018 11:20

We could certainly do with some news, preferably sales.

[festario] 13/8/2018 11:14

Well, if someone sold 75% of their holding this morning, they didn't hold very many. The total volume is pathetic.

[luckykids] 13/8/2018 11:11

SG. As long as it wasn't Will with the 75% lol

[spike_1] 13/8/2018 11:08

Batteries: Looks like we just might be ahead of the game with Zap&Go:


Best wishes - Spike

Holding my shares tightly ! Tbf, the afternoon has seen heaviest buys of late ? Aimo. Best ellis

[festario] 13/8/2018 10:57

Can sell up to 49k for 115.9pThat doesn't mean much to be fair.

No available funds unfortunately

Haha, rainbow has remembered its login details today :)

I wonder what excuses the rampers will come up with for today's dismal performance. According to NR, ISO was "imminent" in March and China startup was happening in June. So far neither has happened. Looks like he needs a new dictionary and calendar. Never mind, he just needs to tweet that all in the garden is rosy and the panty throwers will be out in force again. I can't believe how gullible some mug punters can be. Get out before it's too late.

[superg1] 13/8/2018 10:39

I know of one seller this morning sold . They contacted me and have no choice sold 75% of their VRS, and other share holdings to sell too.

John

Well said, I like to see who the jittery folk are on various shares.

[spike_1] 13/8/2018 10:23

For what it's worth, the number (does not take into holding size) of IG clients short has remained stable at 13% for some considerable time, in the last hour it has reduced to 12%

Best wishes - Spike

Good ol Fest!

[ashehzi] 13/8/2018 10:23

Fest, out of cash atm.

[festario] 13/8/2018 10:17

No one buying any? Ok, I'll nab a few and see what happens.

[johnveals] 13/8/2018 09:57

FFS get a grip you lot.

[ellissj] 13/8/2018 09:57

Indeed lucky O, "when they go quiet!" Of course, when you see that which is very quiet and never mentioned, you might be forgiven for thinking 'that which is hidden in plain sight.' Leftfield here would be hexotene news on that basis. Interesting, and just thinking aloud ! Aimo. Best ellis.

[ellissj] 13/8/2018 09:52

Lol...i see your post has flushed the traders out superg ! Aimo. Best ellis

[ashehzi] 13/8/2018 09:37

adejuk, trading part of your holding again? Yes, please sell high and buy lower.

Vol is low and small traders selling. However, I did see few probable auto trades e.g. 500s.

NUS and Boreal test graphene's properties after a launch into the stratosphere

The Centre for Advanced Two-Dimensional Materials (CA2DM) at the National University of Singapore (NUS) has joined forces with US-based aerospace company Boreal Space to test the properties of graphene after it has been launched into the stratosphere. The results could provide insights into how graphene could be used for space and satellite technologies.

"Graphene's usefulness on Earth has already been established in the last decade. It is now an opportune time to expand its prospects for use in space applications—an area touted as being the most challenging to modern technology—and shift the paradigm of materials science. Space is the final frontier for graphene research, and I believe this is the first time that graphene has entered the stratosphere," said project leader Professor Antonio Castro Neto, Director of NUS CA2DM.

"To move a spacecraft over long distances in space, huge accelerations and speeds which are only possible with very low mass equipment are needed. Graphene is the ideal material as it is among the lightest, yet strongest, functional materials we have. In addition, the high electronic performance of graphene makes it a prime candidate to handle the lack of oxygen and low temperatures in space," explained Prof Castro Neto.

To put graphene to the test, a team led by Professor Barbaros Özyilmaz, Head of Graphene Research at NUS CA2DM, prepared the material by coating a substrate with a single layer of graphene which was about 0.5 nanometers thick. The sample was securely assembled within a Boreal Space 'Wayfinder—Mini' CubeSat, and placed in the payload enclosure of the sounding rocket.

The spacecraft was launched in the morning of 30 June 2018, over the Mojave Desert in the United States. The Boreal Space launch team was responsible for the payload launch support during take-off, nose cone separation, monitoring during flight, parachuting back to earth, impact and recovery.

During the launch, the spacecraft was sent into suborbital environment, and the graphene material was subjected to harsh conditions like rapid acceleration, vibration, acoustic shock, strong pressure and a wide range in temperature fluctuations. The sample re-entered Earth's atmosphere after a 71-second flight, parachuting to a landing in the Mojave Desert.

substantive news needed

[sonsonnyjim] 13/8/2018 09:27

If the supply was done we'd be moving up no?
