I realise others have dismissed the idea of the UK government taking a direct stake in Versarien - but if the BIGT deal when it goes through gets reported as "China takes a stake..." - can a government which is making great play of how important graphene is, NOT take a stake?

If they don't want to be seen taking a direct stake in Versarien, maybe a proxy stake? (an indirect investment which nevertheless helps Versarien) - or by supporting a large order?

They surely wouldn't want to risk the BIGT deal being interpreted as China backing a UK company while the UK government doesn't. (We here know that the UK government HAS done a lot to help Versarien - but journalists reporting the BIGT deal would miss all that and be looking for something immediately headlineable)

Your personal best would be, a couple of hours .... go for it, haha, :-)

Perhaps until the day to day shifts move it down to 10p Ian? Some on here would still be holding at that point(not me).

You seem to have regressed even further from adolescence to childhood. Grow up you spoilt self absorbed brat

I am sure Robbie Hilliam will have read it and filed it by now. Yawwwwn.

Woody - so for the avoidance of doubt, how long should I hold that thought for?

Ellis spotted it first and in a tweet of his. Good that Mark Carney specifically mentioned graphene as part of the future of industry to keep UK at the top of industrial applications in the pursuit of 'change' .

for claity.

BIGT was founded in 2017 by Aero Engine Corporation of China ("AECC"), Beijing Institute of Aeronautical Materials ("BIAM"), and the Beijing Government, based on nearly a decade of graphene research by BIAM. BIAM and the National Graphene Institute at the University of Manchester have been working together on a wide ranging five-year collaborative research project since 2015.

BIGT has assisted Versarien in successfully setting up a wholly foreign owned enterprise (WFOE) with a registered office in Beijing;

"it has now been successfully incorporated as the Beijing Versarien Technology Company Limited and the business licence has been granted by the relevant Chinese authorities."

"The strategy agreed between BIGT and Versarien is to create an incubation hub in Beijing in partnership with the Chinese Government's Administrative Committee of Beijing Petrochemical New Materials Science and Technology Industry Base, Versarien and CIGIU in return for access to a funded science park, access to a pipeline of projects and to locate a factory in a funded Sino-British industrial park within Shangdong Province."

"The collaboration between Versarien, BIGT, CIGIU and the Beijing Government is completely aligned with the industrial strategic positioning and trend. We will lend our full support, without hesitation. We will also liaise with other Beijing Government Departments and the Beijing District Government to progress this initiative. Throughout the process we will carefully plan the deal structure and conditions and the IP matters. In conclusion we have no problem in supporting this collaboration."

Brilliant post Evergreen, our CEO and his team at the forefront of the graphene revolution and already strategising for the future with hexotene

[pshevlin] 13/10/2019 22:46

"Exactly hattie. Do your homework and you needn't worry about day to day shifts in the share price ......unless it goes down to 10p for example. Everything has a limit surely? (Not suggesting that it will ever get anywhere near that but some of the arguments are rather generalised).

[evergreen8] 13/10/2019 22:40

Luckyorange Thanks for the Link to the Mark Carney interview.

Very reassuring to read that the Governor of the Bank of England considers Graphene to be one of the driving forces for the UK economy just a few days after the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy toured the GEIC.

It is now clear that the Government and the Bank are looking to the GEIC to be the hub of the 4th Industrial revolution with associated leading Graphene companies becoming a major contributor to the UK economy.

How fortunate we LTHs are to be holding shares in the only Certified Graphene producer in the World and the only Graphene company with direct Government support.

We are well beyond the Hype curve and well through the essential initial stages of product testing and fine tuning that is the precursor to full blown commercialization.

With the help of the Government the world is beating a path to our door and our management team are maximizing the opportunity to ensure long term security and maximum financial benefit.

The scale of the global demand requires that radical strategies are implemented to maximise market share and remain at the forefront of the sector.

With the benefit of adequate working capital the team at VRS have been able to commit their time and effort to establishing relationships with global partners in preference to the pedantic traditional strategy of pursuing multiple small orders that would have absorbed all our resources all our momentum and all of our potential in exchange for little reward and maximum risk of usurpation.

As one of the more erudite of our fellows here previously posted "Aquila non capit muscas".

I think the big companies must be waiting to see what happens at the end of the month. There are probably two different contracts for each outcome

I have come to the conclusion that care in the community is obviously failing some people on this board.To say you hold and then slate a share saying it's going to go down is like saying we are going to get a deal then campaign against that deal so it won't pass. Who'd be that stupid to back that.I'm in I intend to stay on here for quite some time and have no intention of bailing.When I see scareprophets Tom Winnifarce and the that comedian Mike Miers and a few on a certain twitter group insinuating things that are mistruths then I know we are definitely on the right track I want to humiliate them with their pants predictions and crass site when it drops I know nooothing

[luckyorange] 13/10/2019 21:32

I'm going to try that one day when I have money to throw away, buy into a share and call it down at every opportunity whilst watching my depleting balance. Like self flagellation ... nah , not my gig lol.

Of course there is the other alternative , ride it up then sell when it is currently in a better position than it ever has been and ready to go, not my gig either but people are entitled to make their decisions, it is just once they have sold it is just courtesy to walk away and shut up instead of playing games.

Time for plastics companies to reduce the amount they push out , be nice if graphene from VRS plays a part. Not what the plastics industry wants to do I am sure but external pressures such as Mark Carney's write up will play a part.

[senden11] 13/10/2019 21:11

Well, based on all of the evidence available, Strife and I are holding firm, despite the persistent whingers, derampers and ship-jumping/changing braggarts. This was never going to be impermeable to macro events, but nor will it, IMHO, be dictated by them. The company is well diversified, increasingly de-risked and very close to mass commercialisation, so if getting the right deal(s) long term means a few more months, so be it. Optimistically holding here for the good of all us LTHs.

[woodpeckers] 13/10/2019 20:48

Fair enough, Fest, good luck.

[woodpeckers] 13/10/2019 20:39

Really don't understand why some people hang on words and try to suggest implications that aren't there...

I'm not anxious.

I'll just repeat one last time what I said earlier...

"If you aren't prepared to wait for the rewards, that is absolutely fine by me, I want loyal holders to be around when the time comes."
