I reckon if 1% of what ellisj posts has a connection with VRS, we are quids in!

[belo horizonte] 07/1/2019 22:19

Stop looking at every trade and assume some sort of conspiracy. VRS is hyped off the back of graphene and so far there have been negligible sales despite the smoke, mirrors, hints and winks of Blobby. Once people see through his bs, the price will settle down in the low 30s, being generous.

'Chinese car billionaire signs deal to build ‘supersonic’ trains.'

6 NOVEMBER 2018 • 6:08 PM

"The chairman of Volvo and Geely has signed an agreement with a Chinese aerospace company to build “hypersonic” trains.

Li Shufu, boss of the car manufacturer, has struck a deal with the China Aerospace Science and Industry Corp (CASIC) to “pool their capabilities” to create a network of ultra-fast trains in China.

Mr Shufu’s company said in a statement that it would combine its technology with CASIC to pursue the project, which would have similarities to Elon Musk’s Hyperloop.  

The technologies include magnets allowing trains to levitate above rail tracks in order to avoid friction and pass through a vacuum tube to remove air resistance.  

The deal, signed at an aerospace conference in the southern Chinese city of Zhuhai, did not say when the trains would be ready or how much they would cost.

CASIC claims to be developing trains that can travel at 1,000 kph (620 mph), with the ambition of having technology to accelerate to speeds of 4,000 kph (2485mph).

CASIC, one of China’s state-owned aerospace manufacturers, said at the time it was making "near-ground flight" with "flying trains".

Mr Shufu, speaking at the China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, said: “Core technology can’t be bought. The more you use others’ technology, the more reliant you become. We have to innovate on our own. The journey will be tough but the prospects are promising.”

The idea for this type of transport system originated from Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk after he was stuck in traffic on the way to a technology conference in 2012. 

In October, Hyperloop revealed its first full-scale capsule, which promises to carry passengers at speeds of 700mph."

'The stock market, left for dead in December, is racing back to life'

By Matt Egan, CNN Business 

Updated 2:18 PM EST, Mon January 07, 2019

"All told, the Dow has surged 1,750 points, or 8%, since Christmas Eve. Not bad for a market that suffered its worst December since the Great Depression.

So what's driving the turnaround? Mostly it's cautious optimism about the trade war and health of the Chinese and American economies.

Investors are hopeful that the United States and China will reach a breakthrough on trade talks that began on Monday in Beijing. Wall Street has been worried that the trade clash is deepening slowdowns in both economies.

Friday's rally was set off by China's efforts to stimulate its economy as well as soothing words from Federal Reserve chief Jerome Powell, who promised patience while raising interest rates. And the blockbuster December jobs report has removed the fear of an imminent recession in the United States...."

Extract from the Bloomberg article above. I can't imagine why Neill and Co would be interested...

"China's Qingtao New Energy Research Institute will experiment with cars within two years and considers a commercial product possible by 2025. Contemporary Amperex Technology Ltd., China's biggest cell-producer, includes solid-state in its advanced-battery research. South Korea’s Samsung SDI Co., SK Innovation Co. and Hyundai Motor Co. said they're also studying the technology, as is Dyson Ltd., the U.K.-based home-appliance maker now targeting EVs."

Hyperloop; chinese 3D printing firm winsun involved in a construction collab too ! Best ellis

'WinSun to offer 3D printing expertise for Hyperloop high-speed rail system'

Sep 16, 2016 | By Tess

"....and that’s where Chinese 3D printing construction company WinSun may have a role to play. According to the Chinese company, it has signed a formal cooperation agreement with Hyperloop Transportation Technologies (HTT), the American research company dedicated to developing the innovative transportation system. The HTT itself is made up of a crowd collaboration that includes researchers and engineers from NASA, Boeing, SpaceX, and more.he agreement, which was signed last month, stipulates that WinSun will be joining HTT’s technology crowdsourcing team in order to help make the construction of the high-speed rail system possible in the United States. WinSun’s particular task will be to put together an R&D team dedicated to developing a 3D printing technology suitable for the Hyperloop’s high-speed system. This means a 3D printing construction technology that will be able to print high-intensity, high-precision railway pipeline facilities, stations, and platform facilities.

According to WinSun, their 3D printing construction system could offer a more efficient way of creating the Hyperloop’s pipeline as it would eliminate the need for such processes as forging, molding, and assembly that are required for steel or resin pipes. The 3D printed pipes, made based off of a digital model, could be printed in one go, with a high quality material that would ensure excellent sealing and strength."

Re the 81,576 I seem to remember there was a similar strange but high delayed sale on Friday so maybe not the end (but we can hope)

[superg1] 07/1/2019 19:24

A game

That's the Microcap trust fund.

Between the two they sold over 500k in November. The trust fund is the one in the poop and that one had 844k left going into December.

We had a run of news in December and someone seemed to sell into news each time, so hopefully it was Miton.

My thoughts were at the typical selling rate all funds would be out by the end of Feb but at this rate, if it is Miton, they will be gone very quickly.

I welcome that if we are run into big news near term. All such funds would do is drop a load into any volume.

[a_game] 07/1/2019 19:18

F3rdinand - that sell looks very suspect and would sit perfectly within the estimated region if that is their last.

Lets see what tomorrow brings!

[woodpeckers] 07/1/2019 18:52

a_game, I'm firmly strapped in...bring it on! :-)...It certainly felt like there was a last concerted effort today...FXD.

[f3rdinand] 07/1/2019 18:48

I wonder if the 81,576 is the final sell off for the fund? Seems possible

My count of shares offloaded is now over 800k since the new year. Given superg's estimate of 800k-1M they had left, I suspect they'll be done selling tomorrow or at the latest Wednesday.

Maybe it's time now to check how your seatbelts fasten and run through the safety briefing ;)

On BBC news now about how to cut costs/waiting times etc at hospitals, can't help but think that our smart bandages etc could help hugely if we could get publicity/support for them. So much graphene could do to improve medical care and cut costs and waiting times.

Convinced it will all come. It's just so frustrating knowing what's available yet knowing that because of bureaucracy it will take a lot longer than it should to come to pass.
