Nice one Elliss BIGT no. 3 on the list but graphene as we know can have a part to play in quantum computing and brain science etc;

Graphene Revolution on twitter has highlighted a lot of applications on there and worth a look through the posts (could be a bot and not a lot about VRS on there), fascinating stuff

I hope it does well for both you and par4 johnb, not my type of investment though , par4 said to look , I did and it has doubled in share price for no reason in a very short time which has scared me off any interest in it that is all.

I prefer to buy when something has fallen for no reason, not gone up .... too late then!

[woodpeckers] 27/10/2019 10:53

Am I right in thinking that Chris' last visit to China was to sign the original MOU with Jinan? I can't remember him going since?

Whist we are talking about Chris, it's worth remembering that he rarely makes predictions but did say this in the results...strong stuff coming from a man like him...

"We are confident, that whilst revenues of any material amount have yet to be
achieved, with the investment that we have made, the accreditations awarded
and progress of our collaborations this year, significant future revenues will be
achieved."

At least Neill can concentrate on his day job again now the rugby dream is overPerhaps the orders will roll now

[par4artthou] 27/10/2019 10:49

Tick-up from me johnb

[johnb5] 27/10/2019 10:42

Off topic - LO I respect your posts on VRS, but to say Tern is a “one horse pony” (I think I know what you mean) shows absolutely no research in to the business model or the investee business. One big difference, at the moment, Terns investee businesses are generating good revenues. I hold both VRS and Tern and have for years. Tern has been slated by numerous people on this bb and I look forward to the day....

[luckyorange] 27/10/2019 10:31

Anyway back to VRS, why would Chris be going to China, must be something going on there to justify a visit or it is not happening and just a rumour.

[luckyorange] 27/10/2019 10:26

Had a quick look at the 6 monthly results par4, Directors salaries going up increased costs , recent further loan to DA NAV 7p on their valuation of the other businesses, not for me thanks as the 1.4 mill they had has now been reduced somewhat, they need money as they have no profit contributors to keep them going. Difference is that VRS actually have control and input over all of the companies in their portfolio.

Not a good time to raise money on the market but horses for courses.

Gnanomat was planned investment from Day 1 and VRS has plenty in the bank to support it all going forward, feel much more comfortable here.

[par4artthou] 27/10/2019 10:21

Anyway I've said my bit so that's enough from me on this subject..... Unless of course I am forced to become all defensive lol.

[par4artthou] 27/10/2019 10:15

Yes guys I fully agree with your thoughts but I can't agree with the argument that at this stage one is more of a risk than the other. Personally I leave my holdings where they are because, given time, they are both good prospects.

[luckyorange] 27/10/2019 10:11

I will have a look again par4 but still expect TERN to raise funds , like I said , seen it so many times on AIM.

[ashehzi] 27/10/2019 10:04

Par4... the behaviour I see is less about the potential of the stock but how one can make quick bucks e.g. 13p to 26p is easier than 90p to 180p. So such people chase the hot stuff. I'm not here advocating in favour or against any stock in terms of potential as I haven't gone in depth regarding the tech and I want to avoid low penny stocks (personal choice).

[rogerthegrouch] 27/10/2019 10:03

I’m sure TERN has its merits (so did BIDS) but selling VRS at its lows to chase a rumour is bonkers. Selling VRS at all if you’re researched is equally as bonkers.

In my opinion, there has never been a better time to buy VRS. Significantly derisked with a barrage of diverse news coming very soon to kick start the biggest revolution since the internet.

[par4artthou] 27/10/2019 09:49

Not so lucky, they have 3 other companies which are making very positive progress. Maybe you should have a good look at them, I think you would find it pretty interesting.

[luckyorange] 27/10/2019 09:44

Maybe par4, not knocking it but Tern is a one horse pony and their whole existence depends on microsoft not doing them over, VRS have a plethora of options and not tied in exclusively to anyone, one is binary and the other is not and that is a big difference.

cracking on....translated for them that cant read Chinese...:)

Qingdao News Network October 21 (Reporter Ren Junfeng) Recently, Qingdao Huagao Graphene Industry Research Institute project public announcement before the approval.

I've no wish to start a contest here but the reality regarding TERN is the same as we have here. Here we have the great prospect of BIGT combined with potential huge orders from Aecom. Over at TERN their investee company Device Authority have just received £10m funding and are nicely tucked up in bed with Microsoft, but until either company start getting orders they are both still a risk. I have an interest in both companies and it will be interesting to see which one pays out first IMO both are good prospects.

[luckyorange] 27/10/2019 09:37

I think Tern is probably Ridicule Ash, he doesn't post on here any more , but that is his choice and good luck to him lol.

[melf] 27/10/2019 09:30

BTW Roger....sounds like a great dinner party ?

[ashehzi] 27/10/2019 09:28

I've been looking at 4 stocks to see coordinated sells and buys and I could see pattern in below ones I.e. moving money out of vrs and into

Tern
Bids
Gan

Unfortunately have to keep an eye on other stocks to see and understand the behaviour of the lot.

Ps. Don't have any stakes in tern, bids, gan.

[melf] 27/10/2019 09:23

Is that true Roger? People moving money out of VRS into the likes of TERN...wow. I'm glad they're not managing my portfolio...LOL. Good luck to them. I think they will need it!

[club sandwich] 27/10/2019 09:22

"Sentiment round the table was extremely positive which is echoed around the virtual groups that I am apart of with fellow shareholder"

what about the Twitter group, Roger? I believe you left that, because you didn't like hearing a few home truths about VRS and Ricketts?
