Versarien Share Discussion Threads

[spike_1] 01/3/2019 13:51

just to clear up one misunderstanding regarding "ISO imminent" : actually it was ISO related news that was imminent e.g. the announcement of ISO staff joining VRS having completed their part of the ISO process.

Cheers - Mike

The 3693 shown as ? at 13:13:53 is in fact a buy.

Re US graphene summit. Looks like day 1 is presentations from industry leaders. Day 2 is internal US discussions on the implications. I read it that the US is getting serious about graphene. Can only be good for this emerging industry. Vrs well placed. Aimo. Glalth. Best ellis.

The two events will focus on exploring the transformative change graphene can bring to many industrial segments and providing a framework for accelerated evaluation and adoption of graphene by these industries."

"This unprecedented conference will identify focus areas critical to the national US objectives from security, infrastructure, and economic standpoints and those critical to the objectives of other stakeholders regions and work on developing a shared narrative global where global graphene efforts could be converged."

Spike - re TMS - we know they don't do pizzas but they do pizazz :)

[johnveals] 01/3/2019 13:00

Or it could come early in Q2. No matter.

I prefer fuzzy logic myself, hard expectations are so binary.

[festario] 01/3/2019 12:55

There's a big sell being worked in the background, hence all the buys are getting cheaper... probably someone dumping the ones they bought in the low 70's.Let's get them out of the way, and we can start to build again.

[grabster] 01/3/2019 12:53

Me too, Spike. So I guess that could mean Aecom and Versarien each announcing the same thing - rather than two things. Though could mean the latter.

Either way it sounds good - and the countdown is on.

From the shorter's perspective, if still short, they face a twenty barrel gun containing at least one bullet - maybe two. And more bullets may or may not be loaded for other news.

[ridicule] 01/3/2019 12:52

NR confirming AECOM announcement this month, just think how big that could be!! On sale for under £1, crazy crazy value. Just bought the 5789 to make my stake in VRS the biggest it has ever been.

[1teepee] 01/3/2019 12:52

No the end of the world it seems

[spike_1] 01/3/2019 12:48

grab: re reference was plural, I read Companies Statements to mean Aecom and VRS not a third party.

Best wishes - Spike

[grabster] 01/3/2019 12:39

As mentioned above, NR has tweeted confirmation that we can expect Aecom news this month "As per rns".

Rns reference was plural: ".. the companies expect to make further announcements in Q1 2019...".
So two items at least.

After today there are just 20 trading days before end of month (end of quarter).
So not long to wait even if it comes towards end of month. And could of course come any day/days between then and now.

;-)

[spike_1] 01/3/2019 12:36

Just looked at the Total Market Solutions article (link below), I note they mention the various divisions within VRS, but no mention of pizzas - I'm puzzled?

Maybe Neill was standing in the staff kitchen?

Cheers roger. We all do our bit, as much as we can for the share. Harry stepped upto the plate in fine fashion when the going got tough imo. Atb ellis

[lovat scout] 01/3/2019 12:23

A cash bid at 130p would be most unfortunate. The VRS board can’t just say no and that’s the matter closed as there’s nothing to stop the bidder buying in the market up to 130p or higher if it raises the bid.

We’ve had these conversations on the board before and I don’t think it’s going to happen with VRS now but clearly it’s a future threat should the company develop as we all think it could.

Agreed that it’s people as well as IP so a friendly deal should be order if the day. Nothing to stop someone buying up to a 29.9% in the market and effectively holding a blocking/controlling stake.

AIMHO etc.

[rogerbridge] 01/3/2019 12:19

Owenga, I agree, but I think in another 5 years you may be able to add a zero on the end of your £5.

[rogerbridge] 01/3/2019 12:18

Cheers Ellis’s. Well done for keeping the VRS flag flying over the last few weeks. Been out of touch for a week.

[eel tamer] 01/3/2019 12:17

Oh, so do I but a bid at 130 would never be accepted and would indicate how undervalued we are right now. It would give us a higher base to jump up from when the news hits.

[owenga] 01/3/2019 12:16

The value of this company is in the people. A bid could not succeed without management support and Neill is not interested in a bid at this stage of the company's development. A bid would therefore need to be st multiples of the current share price to have any hope of success. Maybe £5.00 a share may just get over the line. I'm holding out for a lot more than that!

[kemorkid] 01/3/2019 12:15

With the present momentum a “wee RNS”
would move this substantially

[ellissj] 01/3/2019 12:15

Good luck roger and all buyers. Best ellis.

[rogerbridge] 01/3/2019 12:11

The last thing we need is a bid right now, this is one for the long term with awesome prospects. I would want vastly more than 130p.

[rogerbridge] 01/3/2019 12:10

Bought another 6995 for the SIPP, unfortunately I only received funds in my account 10 minutes ago, so I could not buy first thing. However still a bargain, but I. Have a good mind to invoice someone for late payment as it should have been in my account yesterday. Onwards and upwards.

[eel tamer] 01/3/2019 12:08

A bid at 130p would be awesome! The board would reject it out of hand and the share price would rocket up to near that level. Bring it on!

[rafboy] 01/3/2019 12:07

Move along, no time wasters here.
