BBC showing graph of fall in Sterling by just over a US cent. On the graph the fall looked very large nut in reality it was quite small.

[cheek212] 16/11/2018 15:22

Shockingly low volume today!! Can't believe it was only yesterday that such a fantastic RNS was issued, but 24 hours later the trading volume has evaporated! Has everyone gone on holiday????

[luckyorange] 16/11/2018 15:20

ridicule, it's not what you say it's how you say it that is important.

Haven't you noticed that Philbstar has talked it down time after time, just saying?

[the fat controller] 16/11/2018 15:20

ridicule,

I forgot to mention the BBC's painful adherence to political correctness. Very trying. Please let the best make their way to the top of the pile, without forcing false quotas on us.

The Fat Controller. My wife and I came to the same conclusion two weeks ago. We now only watch Sky News.

[runthejoules] 16/11/2018 15:16

Ridicule - you need some more pretentious dictation software ;-)

[ridicule] 16/11/2018 15:09

Runthejoules Absolutely. I am going off dictation, but it is quicker. Thank you for picking the spelling mistake up. Opprobrium is exactly what I meant.

The number of plus-point items (news releases, podcasts) that are constantly occurring with this company (the list, looking back, is pretty impressive), far outweighs the input from the few detractors who seem stuck in a rut with repetition after repetition of stuff that has already been either rebutted or dismissed as irrelevant.

Such a sad existence they lead. Spending their days doing damage wherever they can, like vandals.

The likes of loglorry/timkempster are aware than brainwashing can work by the drip-drip-drip of whatever point they wish to deliver - but he clearly doesn't grasp that it fails when the very 'act of repetition' becomes so obvious that recipients no longer bother reading the message; a bit like junk mail that goes straight in the bin without wasting time reading it. Over-egging doesn't reinforce a message, it merely ensures that the message goes largely unseen.

Hi all, best interview Neill's done so far! Seems to be very single minded about getting versarien to where he wants it. Acquisitions certainly part of the plan, and acquiring companies, however small, isn't trivial.
Anyone know if yesterday's announcement of an order ties in with any previous announcements of collaborations, LOIs or MOUs? Seems to me to be to precursor to something else.

[the fat controller] 16/11/2018 14:40

I can't watch BBC news anymore. It's constant socialist bias, and need to run down all things UK, have finished me. Sky News for me.

[rogerbridge] 16/11/2018 14:30

Newspapers only seem interested in running UK plc down. BBC included.

[ellissj] 16/11/2018 14:28

Agreed FT, very hopeful. Heartening to see vrs promoting composites at various conferences, including one in southampton this week, via such a respected name as Dr.Kemp. who amongst all the other experts vrs have on board must be in agreement with the companies declaration that it's confident its products will meet the proposed iso 2D standards. Aimo. Best ellis

[runthejoules] 16/11/2018 14:12

Ridicule - I think you mean 'opprobrium' - aprobhrion is Welsh for safe word.

[clint fleecewood] 16/11/2018 14:09

Great interview. Takeover offer remarks well covered but I also really like this bit.'People coming from around the world to London today (yesterday)to meet Neil while VRS reps are in conversation in Singapore, Washington, Korea. All driven by needing to get supply near the big companies that are interested.'

[ridicule] 16/11/2018 13:42

Philbstar your post 48561. I agree with you. I made a similar point last January that attracted some opprobrium from some. At that time, I advocated using another share with high growth prospects to cantilever between the two investments. Top slice a bit from the share that had got ahead of itself and lodge the proceeds into the one that was lagging. And vice Versa. I have been able to increase my holdings in both investments using this technique while remaining committed to both of them and certainly never using adverse propaganda against either investment.

This is a far cry from the impact of shorters who attack the target share quite ruthlessly and have a much greater adverse impact than the normal market adjustment one would experience by the fundamental/ enterprise value gap getting ahead of itself. The secondment of 2 DIT folk was a game changer for VRS and should have allowed a much bigger value gap. My view remains that, without the shorters, the VRS share price would be around 190 - 200p given the outstanding enterprise value that VRS represents.

Absolutely relaxed rafboy, body language very good and a glint in his eye, something very very good on its way, ticked a box for me anyway.

[rafboy] 16/11/2018 13:08

Excellent podcast, NR very measured but the opportunity is there for all to see. Great company going places.

And of course markin kemp and stephen hodge spoke at this graphene event at cranfield in september. Best ellis

'Graphene commercialisation from prototypes to products 2018.
Event menu'

"There are many new advanced materials undergoing development but one particularly has caught attention of many: Graphene, a 2-dimensional material. First isolation and demonstration of remarkable properties began in the United Kingdom. Significant efforts have gone into research across the globe with unprecedented levels of funding dedicated to different stages of development, from very basic scientific understanding through to proof of concept applications. Currently there is also a push for developing standards and procedures enabling proper deployment of these materials into daily use in different applications.

By now Graphene has been labelled as a promising material of our century. Is this because of graphene, a buzzword and push from existing investors or does the material offer something really unique and special to take our civilization to the next level of existence?

We invite all companies, from micro to large enterprises, spin outs, start ups, research institutions and members of the public to present their work on applications of graphene, especially with advanced level of commercial development, prototypes and products near or on the market.

Last year we had the first successful event with very encouraging outcomes. We will be expecting over 200 people and will have representatives from government, policy makers, grant schemes, investors, industry partners and customers interested to know the current state of graphene and the available technology.

Anyone with advanced level prototype/product will be able to give a short oral presentation to showcase their developments (the agenda will guide people on site).

Free to attend.

Exhibition space & tables will be available to those wishing to showcase graphene products and/or graphene technology. Table space is limited so be sure to register early. This is your opportunity to showcase your products and to demonstrate the benefits of graphene based technology to individuals, large industry and our society.

The conference will take place at Cranfield University, world-leading in its contribution to global innovation, combining design, materials, technology and management with strong partnership with industry. Cranfield is particularly bridging the gap between academic research and real-world application operating from basic principles and ideas (TRL 1) to near-production level system prototypes (TRL7)."

It's all starting to kick off in the public consciousness 😀

[pshevlin] 16/11/2018 12:46

Interesting especially re thickness.

[ny boy] 16/11/2018 12:45

Jeez the VRS bulls are just pathetic, too scared to buy.. every time the same, clearly not many following their imperious leader out the of the trenches!
