'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...."

Indeed, and in the last poddy, neill said vrs talking to EV firms from around the world ! Best ellis

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."

'China looks to the future of transportation with new hyperloop deal'

".....China already runs the world's longest high-speed rail line and is itself looking to build a supersonic transport network.

State-owned China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, one of the country's major space contractors, is working on a system that can shuttle trains at a maximum speed of 1,000 kilometers per hour and is eyeing technologies that could go as fast as 4,000 kilometers per hour in the future..."

Via a contact Bego have traded 1.1 mill in the last 3 trading days 600k today.

As we know they have been on the offer most of the time.

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

[a_game] 07/1/2019 18:24

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.

Who is selling shares? Is it Miton? A clue can be found in share activity in other Miton related companies. Check out WEY today.

Could it be William Battrick again I wonder, the pace of the dump doesn’t have an institutional feel to it. More a case of someone being desperate for cash.

Heard of hyperloop ? Tweet by catapult explains it. Sounds tailor made for 2D materials, polygrene etc. I see Aecom entered into a uk gov competition but lost. But china and middle east keen on developing hyperloop projects in the report ? The pdf report about hyperloops very informative. Aimo. Best ellis

It was quite a bit more than 200k today so more to come.

The way to works I understand is that the fund hand outs across a lump/s to the MM which don't have to be reported. The report comes through once they are sold into the market

"McLaren has announced its eighth consecutive year of increasing sales since its formation in 2010, going against a general industry downturn for 2018."



About time we heard summat about them wanting more Versarien materials, to give them even more of an edge.

200,000 as i suspected! Anyone adding up all these delayed trades? Must be approaching a million?

[cielos] 07/1/2019 17:30

Is that posters posting or parrots taking loud

If is the former then one should try a bit more than the repeating - parrot - vocabulary
