He's being sarcastic Wuzy ;-)

Teepee, maybe it's just market sentiment ahead of AGM on Tuesday as a lot of investors are watching this stock and placing their bets, my thoughts only, hope your right though, cheers

o/t (but loosely relevant as an indicator of EV market progress)

Amazon have allegedly ordered 100,000 electric delivery trucks.


Supplier:
USA (HQ in Michigan; R&D California, production in Illinois) but list of offices include
Advanced Engineering - United Kingdom (Woking, Surrey). (Ain't that where McLaren is?)
EDIT: Executive Director of Engineering is Mark Vinnels - ex-McLaren
700 employees already.

"Deliveries begin at the end of 2020, based on your place in line and configuration of your vehicle. Fully equipped vehicles with the highest performance level and 135 kWh/180 kWh packs will enter production first. Our 105 kWh pack will follow within 12 months of the start of production."

Input of $500m from Ford, $350m from Cox; $700m from Amazon.
Is it real?

PS: For all the modern looking exterior renditions - the interior and dash looks like a horrid 1970s Vauxhall. Embarrassing!

Lithium-ion battery. "Battery cells are a proprietary design manufactured into Rivian's own module. They're held in a kevlar and carbonfibre cradle integrated into the skateboard chassis."
(Oh come on guys - this is so last year)


EDIT: Daimler (Mercedes) have announced they are not going to initiate R&D on any more internal combustion engines. Employees involved will all be reallocated - to EV development.

The market report does not say there are 349 companies making graphene. It does say "There are over 350 companies globally producing graphene materials or developing products incorporating graphene".

I am interested in understanding potential sector demand volumes for graphene forecast over the next 10 years.

The report suggests at least 12 sectors each with demand in tons.

I have a view on some sectors but not others.

[jointer13] 19/9/2019 18:58

but are they.?...keep this in mind.

there has been a lot of testing done (loads of info on the web) out there and the majority of it comes back as cheap graphite

“It is alarming to uncover that producers are labelling black powders as graphene and selling them for top dollar, while in reality, they contain mostly cheap graphite, says Professor Antonio Castro Neto, director of the NUS Centre for Advanced 2D Materials.

[mandatory] 19/9/2019 17:43

I don’t, but if one was heavily invested in VRS one might think of buying to see who the other 349 companies making Graphene are.

I don't suppose anyone has a copy of this:

[nellyb] 19/9/2019 16:54

club, are you still on about your draft letter to the regulators - ffs. surely as a matter of principle if you think there has been wrong doing you should have informed the regulators yonks ago. So let me get this right, if we receive good news before the agm, you're just going to turn a blind eye.

[laginaneil] 19/9/2019 16:26

Hello Harry,

Some time back we had the same doom mongers on here and noted that if they get a response they keep coming back with more rubbish.

If everybody ignores them they tend to go away.

Filter them, sit on your hands and don't be tempted to reply, It's hard to do
but I think it works better than keep responding.

Remember they are not interested in logical arguments.

Just my thoughts...

[par4artthou] 19/9/2019 16:18

Yes CS you should easily recognise that.

"aggrieved sense of injustice, massive egomania and need for self-justification"

Two sides of the same coin if you ask me but with, in your case, an added dose of spite thrown in.

[harrysol] 19/9/2019 16:16

With respect Andy - unless, your respond to the posts of the shorters or doomsters, their dribble may stand as fact. This is a forum. Not an ignore-them and they'll go away. I need to protect my Investments and if that means standing up to likes of Rainbow, then that is my prerogative.

[superg1] 19/9/2019 16:07

Interesting article that, Aerospace looking for answers to problems using graphene.

In that case Airbus. Vrs were with Airbus and Victrex and CALM a few years back, organised by Victrex, VRS were invited.

VRS look to me like the only ones that meet the criteria. That will be another one into the pot of things going on imo.

Interesting that that want 10kg per month proven supply now and evidence that 10 tonnes per year is in the pipeline.


• For next-gen aircraft (A/C) components like wings, rudder, rotor blades, air inlets, antennae, windshield, new easy to integrate and flexible ice protection technologies are urgently needed; flexible relates to the ability to adapt to the requirements in terms of geometry, generated power density, and available on-board voltage supply

Good afternoon Rainbow 23. You don't know anything and your predictions are usually wrong. Your a curse on this forum and will cost many shareholders a great deal of money. No doubt, you profit in some way. You are dangerous and should not be listened to.

-------

So why do you listen to him then?

Why not filter him and be done with it?

It always amuses me why people can't do that, yet continue to moan daily about other people's posts!

[jointer13] 19/9/2019 15:54

Simple then....invest when it’s over £1.30

[luckyorange] 19/9/2019 15:52

I think he is wrong and with a fair wind it is set to break 1.30 ade, been an investment case for some time but then again he doesn't invest does he?

[club sandwich] 19/9/2019 15:51

Graham Wood will be able to tell you how effective my written communications can be. A few years ago, when we were on friendlier terms, he was most complimentary about the emails I used to eviscerate Vince Bryan after he defamed me in what he thought were private emails to the PDLN group.

My letter to the FCA and the AIM regulator about Ricketts' prima facie leaking of price-sensitive information to preferred s'holders at highly-restricted events is coming along nicely. I'll be sending it to Fest for proof-reading and comments over the weekend, and I'll be sending it out if there is no significant news by Tuesday.

"I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that, woe betide everyone in my path"

says the self-proclaimed sheriff of AIM who, despite many years of service in the police force, never made it above the rank of constable because of his many and obvious personality defects.

Once you know that simple fact about Graham Wood, you realise exactly where his aggrieved sense of injustice, massive egomania and his need for self-justification come from.

Does ANYONE have ANY evidence that ANY of Graham's actions against ANY of the criminals on AIM have ever resulted in ANY enforcement action whatsoever? Because I know that if I ever received one of his illiterate missives through the post - doubtless written in bright green crayon - I'd file it straight into the round filing cabinet...

[adejuk] 19/9/2019 15:50

i remain positive and afraid
who doesn't?

[adejuk] 19/9/2019 15:44

ky boy is correct
until we break 130 this is not an investment case
i still hold 160k

[superg1] 19/9/2019 15:28

I'm told he isn't going to the Aim.

Same old, same old on PRG in those days too.

I'm going to do this, I'm going to do that, woe betide everyone in my path.

Never does a thing frigging thing, never turns up. Hot air, waste of space as usual.
Yawn, double yawn and treble yawn.

Enjoy the BIGT news.
