Well said Scrutable, very wise words that we should all take on board.

[nellyb] 19/10/2018 13:35

those who doubt vrs get no joy on twitter from nr - i expect that is why they come on this fred.

[ellissj] 19/10/2018 13:30

Agreed, best ellis.

[mryl] 19/10/2018 13:22

Agame, Scrutable,
I reckon you're right... I've said what I had to say, now onto the filter list with the lot.

O/T again, sorry. Travelling back through Namibia to "civilisation".
Purchased another 2000 shares via a BnB in a little town called Mariental -
Isn't the Internet wonderful...

Another top up complete, bargain

[rogerbridge] 19/10/2018 13:13

Well said Scrutable. Nice to hear from you.

I am no longer mobile so cannot contribute much from visits to the company, meeting the execs, AGMs and investor meetings, But I can still contribute something of value from listening to charlatans for decades, particularly during WW2

Every time you attempt to counter a shorter/de-ramper you give them an opportunity to make another adverse innuendo, a tendentious argument or a blatant lie.

Every politician knows that repeating lies thousands of times gradually affects the collective impression ie subconscious of those listening. Goebbels invented propaganda but Putin and Trump are more brilliant exponents of it. You must have noticed cause and effect thse recent years

IT WORKS

it is really stupid to abett it.

NEVER NEVER RESPOND - You are only eroding your asset value

Added more this morning, doing my bit albeit as much as I could afford!

[poombear] 19/10/2018 13:00

As the market cap is so much higher maybe NR will take FGR out? Is their Mcap around £30m?

[laginaneil] 19/10/2018 12:57

If the shorts say something that makes your blood boil DON'T answer!

[rheumking] 19/10/2018 12:56

A lot of the sells look like they are from a fund selling around 130, and taking a few worried PIs with them. Us old hands who remember the Lombard sell around 13 p have seen it all before and it has been followed by a rapid rise previously once the fund is gone- I think superg thought they only had 1m shares as of a couple of days ago.
I suspect a few newcomers who may have bought in after the ST article have exacerbated the sell off by hitting their own 10% stop losses. Both the fund sell and the newbies should be done in next day or so I would have thought.
Just my speculation but would seem to explain the drop. I am holding long and strong and adding whenever I get some cash.

Keep your eyes on the prize folks!All this rubbish about competitors is just that, rubbish. Completely irrelevant to your investment in VRS at this stage if you have done your research. It is all smoke and mirrors by the trolls playing on the emotions of weak holders. The trolls are not as stupid as they make out, they know VRS is the real deal but they also know we have some excitable holders and they are playing them, not the company. We've been here before don't forget... Anyway good luck all genuine holders :-)

[1retirement] 19/10/2018 12:54

Spid81, as you clearly well versed in FGR would care to help explain why their share price has almost halved in the last couple of months? I'm intrigued but I cannot spot the reason why?

[smokeyjohnson] 19/10/2018 12:51

Couldn't get a price for any more than 1500 on HL just now. So added 1500 @ 130.98

With regards the UOM, I think they are in a slightly difficult situation. They have to be seen to be impartial. If I were them and I wanted 'graphene' for various applications I would buy some of the best quality graphene from the company I felt was producing the best quality and less good quality from a company that I felt was capable of supplying that....simples!

[compoundup] 19/10/2018 12:38

Spid, I'm not seeing the point you are trying to make.

If you think FGR is a better investment than VRS, fair play. Go for it.

I'm invested in VRS because it ticks the boxes that matter to me, including (in no particular order):-
- established performance of 2D materials in (disruptive) improvement of end product
- well-run business - satisfying demand rather than churning out more tonnes of product than it can sell
- multi-faceted (i.e. de-risked) business operating at a profit with no debt
- advantageous relationships with universities including reciprocal investments - taking over spin-outs while universities retain a shareholding
- government backing (DIT) without strings
and I could go on (for quite a long time).

How does FGR compare? No. Don't answer that. This is a VRS forum. What I will reflect is Neill's comment about competitors on yesterday's interview with Justin Waite re XG Sciences. As CEO of the business he welcomes "competition" because there is plenty of business to go around. The more players who can deliver stuff that works in the field of 2D materials, the more winners there will be in a vast market.

Read the pdf statement yourself. Additionally, using logic, larger flakes infer many layers ie graphite
We all await npl testing of products to iso standards to provide definitive results that all investors can rely upon. Until then, it's a matter of opinion and interpretation. I could easily be wrong, and prepared to admit that. However, until then, I rely upon that vrs have advised +nanene will likely meet the iso graphene standards as propsed, per rns interims statement, 2017. All in my laymens opinion, dyor. Good day. Best ellis

Unprecedented that HMG have seconded two Senior members of the Dept of overseas trade and industry to work with Versarien to bring wealth and prosperity to the UK and support the global expansion of the company ...that says it all for me ..
