Buys getting rapidly cheaper, more stock being dumped, but hidden from us.

Ian Cowie sold FEVR a few weeks ago

Hope it's not a Norwegian Blue parrot that is pining for the fjords Clint.

Share bashers have to work hard in these rubbish markets as it is their window of opportunity. High growth and riskier shares globally are suffering and VRS is obviously in this camp.

I noticed that Ian Cowie failed to mention in his Sunday Times whinge last weekend that his beloved FEVR has fallen just as much as VRS!

High reward comes with high risk and so far VRS is doing fine. When it comes to revenues, it’s quite obvious that it’s not just about the product but the application too and there’s no pricing card for that.

Shareholders have to believe that the foundations are being laid for long term contracts rather than selling products off the shelf supermarket style which will take time to get right.

These share price price swings are quite uncomfortable but most of the market is in the same boat and volatile market periods happen quite frequently.

AIMHO and a happy LTH. Patience grasshoppers 😀

I did laugh at the chimney street reference rtj :) soz to hear about your bed situation :( on reflection, i still believe neill handles twitter extremely well and to my mind has grown in stature. He looks solid, down to his rugby boots ! Love conquers fear btw. Aimo. Best ellis

Significant revenue streams please Dolores.

[mryl] 21/11/2018 09:15

Depends clint, is it a parrot or a Phoenix?

Dolores, not material enough apparently, not my opinion but the market's.

[clint fleecewood] 21/11/2018 09:12

'Dying' is a final act, Myrl. This parrot is simply resting.

[dolores123] 21/11/2018 09:12

We got material news on the 29th!! What more do you want from a developing growth company that has the product the world wants and needs.

[runthejoules] 21/11/2018 09:08

Oh Ellisj I am not talking about a PR house but an in-house dedicated PR Officer who knows the company well. It looked like VRS were moving that way for a while. I just don't think the Optics are good when it's Neill doing firefighting. These claims do not need to be debunked. Debunking amplifies. Bashers are thriving on it and it is diminishing Neill's status rather than enhancing it. 'Don't wrestle a chimney sweep' as Tony Benn used to say. Still, events continue to prove no-one else realises this (across social media as a whole of course), I have made my bed and now I've got to lie in it and hope for some profits relatively soon. Unfortunately I will be forced to sell some soon on a family member's death. I can only blame myself though and believe me I do.

[mryl] 21/11/2018 09:05

Slowly dying out until we get material news?

[davemac3] 21/11/2018 09:04

If he didn't use Twitter there wouldn't be an issue

[ellissj] 21/11/2018 09:04

Tweet from last night. Best ellis.

Neill Ricketts @neillricketts

"Just travelling home after supporting

UKgov will give all of the PR it needs rtj, its the market and that is about to turn nothing to do with insignificant individuals.

NR does a good job on twitter and addresses concerns, don't forget that there are a lot of PI's in VRS and he is aware of that.

[ellissj] 21/11/2018 08:59

Soz disagree rtj. A PR firm couldn't respond in the way neill does. Only He has the necessary status to debunk claims as the story moves along - keeping it real. Grateful holder here. Aimo. Best ellis

[runthejoules] 21/11/2018 08:48

One reason this has almost halved is the idiocy of engaging with loglorry etc. Unfortunately all potential PIs & IIs are seeing right now is a CEO wasting his time with a paid basher on twitter. They don't see the rest of the iceberg, why should they? I should have obeyed my instincts and sold out when I had my reservations about this modus operandi (and the Gnanomat fundraise). That said, I believe the company and product is amazing so would be adding at these levels if a) I had more money and b) Neill, and the board, finally disengaged bashers like they said he was going to.

You don't get £SOS's managers headbutting trolls, they just get on with designing great clothes.

See, however, the situation with £IQE. Instead of providing regular RNSes on deals etc, or a monthly newsletter (what happened to £VRS's? It was great), or appearances at Mello, they've said nothing for long periods and been susceptible to short attack after short attack and bad news after bad news, then had to react to it in panicky piecemeal RNSes. It's up to a company to take control of the news flow, and (boiks in mouth a little bit at saying this) not to be reactive, but proactive.

Imho £VRS need a professional PR person doing regular updates which can address any criticisms without directly engaging (don't worry, I'm not angling for the job).

[ellissj] 21/11/2018 08:46

Agreed jointer, our production method appears peerless. i think matt W said +nanene is 'unique?' But as neill said on twitter, vrs can do 'thickness ;)' Ie meet 2D graphene defn? Simply, graphite producers can't do this. Under iso defn, their 'graphene' products will be characterised as 3D graphite. VRS are sitting pretty in this regard. Moe confident than ever here. Aimo. Dyor. Best ellis.

[woodpeckers] 21/11/2018 08:44

Thanks guys, nice contact! :-)

Edit: Maybe I should be saying 'nice customer' as it sounds as though they are presumably already a customer of Total Carbide....

[woodpeckers] 21/11/2018 08:43

Just scrolled down through Neill's tweets searching for something, have you seen how many posts to him there are with "This tweet has been removed"?! Now I wonder why that can be, says a lot when people aren't prepared to stand by what they have written.

[cheek212] 21/11/2018 08:43

I would assume you are correct with Schlumberger, the worlds largest oilfield services company.

[billwave] 21/11/2018 08:42

Schlumberger...massive in the oil, gas, energy industry.
