Versarien Share Discussion Threads

superg1, you have 7 downvotes for one of your posts earlier this morning (#64424), that must be some kind of record!?

As a barometer for shorter-nervousness, the 7 downvotes suggests VRS are reaching fever-pitch :)


7 downvotes? Let me sell my entire holding... lol.

Yes he does repeat himself a lot, good information though.

I think the key point re the US comments are the sudden gear change in the US.

If you recall Zina Cinker was banging her head against the wall re congress and warning them the US was going to be left behind.

She tweeted NR congratulating him re the China link ups when that started and I believe mentioning the need for the US to catch up.

Graphene event now on Capitol Hill in May with VRS there.

So it seems to me Zina has finally got the US to wake up, realise there is an advanced materials revolution on the way, and they best get on the bullet train, sharpish.

As I posted long ago due to research, NR and VRS were and are well liked in the US re graphene expertise by those that understand it.

So when Aecom appear in the spotlight it is going to catch a few out.

Still higher than when you first started deramping the share though Rainbow.

LTH will take opportunities like this to add to their position. Keep up the good work!

So many pieces slotting smoothly into place now.

This year's going to be a good year,

Patrick Abbott has a great profile and looks to be a great asset for us in the US.

Wowser, Houston, we Don’t have a problem.

Three down-thumbs for my thought about the share price not responding upwards to today's excellent news. Not one of the three prepared to explain though!

Not that the short term share price matters a jot, but with the curtain being pulled aside from what Neill has been beavering away at - "most work in the evenings" - to show a whole new field of opportunities with several involvements already active and more lined up - and they won't be minor ones, IMO - the key top level contacts established, and the future infrastructure being organised in Houston - Hello, Rice Uni? - I for one am a little surprised. Hence my possible reason suggested.

Amazing how a little UK company is leading the two global giants into the world of materials engineering for the next industrial revolution.

Doesn't spaceX have a development facility in Houston as well?

World News (WN.com) has circulated this morning's Versarien announcement.

"..The UK's Guardian newspaper has described WN as 'One of the most powerful search tools for news junkies on the internet...'. WN catalog more than 200,000 articles each day, in over 80 languages..."

You're one of those 'big jigsaw' people anley :)

Joined the dots................

New VRS man comes from XG Sciences = Dow Dupont has loans with XG over failed product development and it was one of the first VRS colloberations in 2017/18.

SUPERG.......am I sort of right?

[grabster] 21/3/2019 09:42

Do we have any images available of the proposed site of Versarien's facility in Houston?

[grabster] 21/3/2019 09:41

Spike - re US waking to news - you are right of course. I guess some investors and followers of XG Sciences might spot the departure of their sales guy to Versarien, and there might be some local press/media coverage in Houston re Versarien's arrival.

[festario] 21/3/2019 09:29

Max to sell is 80k shares at 95.5p, or I can have 96.5p for 60k

[hew] 21/3/2019 09:20

From comments here by some seemingly skilled in the ways and wiles of the market, I understand there is evidence that our share price is being "held down". If that is so, might it be that VRS/Canna want it at a "still eminently reasonable" price for when the Note reaches the right people? Just IMO of course.

[rainbow23] 21/3/2019 09:19

True to form,99p and falling.

So if anyone has been paying attention re the Miton holdings.

Miton sold near 2 mill Nov/Dec and Jan then 525k as reported last month taking them up to near 2.5 mill.

So as I have said if they keep going this month at the same rate as previous months then they will be done at the end of this month.

That fits nicely with the end of the tax year and has given a good boost to their small funds they held VRS in.

Herald in the same period sold about 210k, so it would appear they have not been anything like Miton in the selling game.

And don't forget good old trustworthy Gervais told people at an event in December he was hanging onto his remaining 25% of VRS shares. That's while he was selling aggressively in December.

Fund managers do not lie, but only if you don't ask them a question.
