Thanks Shavian, I nearly spat my coffee out reading your last line :)

Alchemy, it is log chart as I understand this shows better than a linear chart.

The below explanation is from horneblowers excellent thread(HB)which I have followed for some years


To me the chart is a description of the psychology of the market. There is nothing magical about it.
Most charts exhibit trends. Trends come in different types and have "natural" boundaries and limits which are best seen on a "natural" graph ie a log chart.

Most charts you see on advfn are linear charts where a 10p rise is shown the same whether it has risen from 5p or from 50p. The problem with this is that from a human point of view, a 10p rise starting from 5p is a massive 300% rise while a 10p rise starting from 50p is only a 20% rise.

The log chart shows a 20% rise as the same from wherever it starts. While not perfect this is a great deal better than a linear chart.

Wow what an eclectic lot we are. I came out the RAF in 2001 and needed to supplement my pension. I was invalided out and so work was limited. After some awful investment decisions I had lost most of my money. Had faith and started again and invested in OPTI and here in VRS. However, helping my children is my main goal so will stay around until I can give them a good helping hand.

Morning guys, nice and sunny here in Portugal! As I'm away, did we make any of the weekend press? Other than that lazy online FT article

Update that once a quarter or as relevant svp. Great stuff. Is that y axis logarithmic?

[owenga] 26/8/2018 07:43

Wow, let's hope so Shavian.

My guess is we shall all be wiser when geic is unveiled and we can see what's what with regards to how UK organising our emergent 2D industry. Looking at the impressive list of firms partnering with geic, there are great prizes to be had. Collaborations and investments no doubt. Maybe some in the pipeline ? And with product certification rolled out, there will be a bona fide market place established. Simple adam smith stuff. From which firms will compete to supply graphene for collbs, testing and commericialisation. We know vrs shall soon have a 3 tonne production capacity in this regard. From what i can see, VRS sitting pretty, as justin waite commented last poddy, 'the go to' company in the graphene space. Aimo. Best ellis

"Artificial retina" made of ultra-thin graphene may help millions of people restore vision"

Graphene has many unique properties and it may be a key material for building a better artificial retina. Researchers from the University of Texas and Seoul National University in Korea have used a combination of graphene, molybdenum disulfide, gold, aluminum oxide and lanthanum nitrate to create an artificial retina that is better than existing models.

At present, scientists have recently developed an artificial retina made of ultra-thin "super material" that can help millions of patients with eye diseases to restore their vision again.
Researchers say that graphene is a "super material" because, although it has only one layer of carbon atoms, it is very strong, super flexible, and very light. At the same time, graphene is also electrically conductive and biodegradable. An international research team has now found a new way to use super materials – making artificial retinas.

They released their research results at the American Chemical Society (ACS) on August 20th to showcase their findings. This artificial retina is a layer of photoreceptors located behind the eye that transforms the image into a pulse that the brain can interpret. If someone does not have the ability to convert the image into a brain that can interpret the pulse, then there is visual impairment.
Millions of people currently have retinal diseases that cause their vision to be low. To help these patients restore their vision again, the researchers have developed an artificial retina. However, what we have now is not exactly the ideal state, because the implants are rigid and flat, and the images they produce are often blurred. Or distorted. Although implants are fragile, they can also damage nearby eye tissue.
Graphene has many unique properties and it may be a key material for building a better artificial retina. Researchers from the University of Texas and the National University of Seoul in Korea have used a combination of graphene, molybdenum disulfide, gold, aluminum oxide and lanthanum nitrate to construct an artificial retina that is better than the current model.
Based on laboratory studies and individual animal analysis, the researchers determined that the artificial retina is biocompatible and capable of mimicking human eye features while at the same time better matching natural retina size.
Researcher Nanshu Lu pointed out in a press release that this is the first demonstration that thin layers of graphene and molybdenum disulfide can be used to successfully create artificial retinas, although the study is still in its infancy, but materials are used to restore vision. It is a very exciting starting point.
If the future research on artificial retinas containing graphene is in-depth, as the researchers hope, we may end up adding a super-function to the list of super-materials features - restoring the vision of visually impaired people.

My dad just bought some . Don't know where the Graphene is from though

p.p.s. Last thing, I promise. I owe a lot to superg, Mike Brenner and the other knowledgeable posters on this board for their incredible knowledge, and taking the time to share it online. I only signed up for an ADVFN account in the first place so I could thank superg.

p.s.: I also have a small holding in IQE (breaking even), and for anyone who thinks NR spends too much time on social media dealing with the shorters, then read up on IQE to see what can happen if shorting nonsense goes unchecked!

I only got into the stock market a couple of years ago when Santander cut my 123 interest rate from 3% to 1.5%. I thought I could do better than 1.5%, so I stuck some spare cash into Games Workshop at £5.70. It wasn't due to canny investment research, but because I am into the hobby and saw the new products flying off the shelves and the fanbase expanding and I reckoned the share price would definitely increase, and could maybe possibly even double in a year or two...

I stuck a bit more money into safe dividend stocks and learned the ropes of being a PI. I did well with FEVR and timing my GMD trades. I read an article in the Sunday Times earlier this year about how graphene was about to take off (I'm a biochemist and I was familiar with the graphene story (Nobel Prize, pencils and sticky tape) and I followed their tip... and bought five figures worth of AGM stock. I had my laptop in the toilet with me on the Monday morning (multi-tasking), waiting for the market to open so I could beat the rush...

I was doing my belated research on AGM and came across this VRS message board. A few hours of VRS research later, and I eventually sold all my AGM stock and put it into VRS, buying initially at £1. Then I started selling off my safe dividend stocks and putting that into VRS. Then I sold off most of my risker holdings and put that into VRS as well.

I have had many last and final top-ups over the last few weeks and I'm averaging £1.30 per share, but it's a significant amount of shares, potentially life-changing, and I'm in it for the long haul. I hope to retire early and live off the dividends.

Yes Joey.... get it open!!

Since everyone is confessing...I was in IQE from about 25p via my normal stock data mining... Saw some bloke (adejuk) mention VRS on the IQE board back in Nov 17... Saw an easy 20% on the back of fund raising and bought 50k at20p... Got the pop in a day or two then started reading more and more ..... Bought the story and have continued to add.Guess that is me - normally a decent investor, sometimes a reckless gambler... Need to control my gambling but this time it has paid off.. will hold for the journeyCraigy

For what it is worth, it is my opinion that the Chinese deals are exactly as NR last reported. It comes down to where these factories need to be located.

As the number of new collaborations intensifies and the existing collaborations reach a conclusion and translate into physical orders, the value of Versariens IP and customer book will naturally increase.

Success will breed success in as far as the competition catching wind of the revolution within its respective industries and the cycle of interest will start to spiral.

So not only will VRS own valueable IP and high quality Nanene, it will have a growing customer book of future sales that it can provide its new JV partners.

In terms of further collaborations, NR stresses that he needs a bigger team, will this mean that NR will have a duty to grow this team and complete testing for new products in the U.K. or will the Chinese partners share the burden?

In my book VRS hold all the cards, it’s not a question of haggling over money, instead, which interested parties tick the most boxes and provide a good fit for VRS/Goverment strategy.

Small change to some and beyond the wildest dreams of others. But NR takes his responsibilities seriously not least becaus he is the largest shareholder.

[luckyorange] 25/8/2018 22:01

Big responsibility for VRS now seeing how deeply people are invested, not going to add to it but quite a few million plus investors, they have said it on here at various points and know who they are.

Amazing how NR instills conviction in the plan, wonder how many D Kerr et all have 🌞
