5 bans for engaging so far.

Simple rules.

Out of the loop a bit due to holidays but great to get back and see that the first of the Big 5 has landed. Neill sounded like his old self on the podcast, must have been hard for him to keep everything to himself 'knowing what he knows'... you'd almost think they had a plan... think it's going to be a good Christmas for Vrs holders.

I didn't get the lacklustre comments either. The Tesla talk went on a bit but he sounded well pleased with the Mas deal.He can't be shrieking and whooping for effect, he's a pro.

It's happening

With any blue sky technology there are going to be pigeon steps towards commercialisation.

I think VRS is now in a fantastic place with such a wide array of potential routes to success and with its insistence on not selling out the IP OR giving away product OR tying itself into exclusivity.

There are plenty of examples of "curse of the first" where pioneering companies have prostituted themselves for a fast buck. VRS is holding out for a much bigger prize imho.

Neill lacklustre?? What absolute rubbish! Justin was poor I agree but Neill? No way!

Well I've seen better (more usable) websites than masholdings, but bloody hell - aren't they are a big company ??!!

If you google them and read their Wikipedia entry that it's impressive. Second largest supplier to "Nike, worldwide" in 2016 stands out.

I'm delighted to own shares in a company which now has a commercial partnership agreement with a company that significant to the Nike supply chain. In terms if new tech, you only have to see the publicity around stuff like those new trainers that Kipchoge wore (they are £200+) to see where things can go.

With respect to some of MAS holdings' other clients, I'm sure someone will come along with good uses for graphene-enhanced undies - maybe that's one for another day :-)

Great inputs jointer 13 and Owenga.

Come in no6 your time is up! Oh are you in trouble no9?

RTG lets agree to differ. My investment method in VRS alone has produced returns for me of an order that keeps me very happy and I do agree that if you buy and hold in a sound company after many years, the destination is the same. The only difference is that, by top slicing and reinvesting on a journey that goes from 11p to £1.80 and now back to, say, 96p has left me with about double the number of VRS shares that I would have had. All that said, both methods, like any investment, are not risk free.

I thought you were running short od calenders, but I do enjoy your excellent cartoons so would be happy to buy one if you have any left.

[principia discordia] 27/11/2019 16:05

Back and better than ever.

[jointer13] 27/11/2019 16:04

come in two of five...your time is up.

[1teepee] 27/11/2019 16:00

Oh yeah, Neill Ricketts shoved him in his new log burner

[1teepee] 27/11/2019 16:00

Where is loggy?

[rogerthegrouch] 27/11/2019 15:59

I'll have another listen but I didnt get the impression Neill was lack lustre? I thought he spoke with energy and a spring in his step? Sure, banging on about tesla wasnt great.

My theory is that he didnt mind wasting this poddy and kept it brief as there are more to come very soon. Perhaps 4 more?

[rogerthegrouch] 27/11/2019 15:57

We do disagree and thats ok. Your cantilever method is one type of investing which essentially includes a trading pot which you move money around your stable.

This might relieve boredom, might make you a couple of extra pounds but it is trading in addition to your long term hoard and thus carries more risk imo. I'm only talking about pure long term investing which is what the majority of people, funds and strategic investors do. I don't have a trading pot to cantilever, nor do i want one. I choose to invest my capital for the long term, thus short term price movements and how imminent news might be is largely irrelevant as I'm measuring performance in years not weeks.

Disruptive tech stocks like these will be volatile, that comes with the territory. If you want 10-100 bags you have to accepts the swings down too. If you want to preserve your short term wealth then cantilever trading is perhaps smart but you'll ultimately trade your self out of the big win in the end as you prop up other stable stocks with your gains. I'd rather go lower risk stocks and apply a pure long term hold method if i were you - much less stressful and the returns would be par.

Have you ordered a calendar yet? Surely we can put our differences on this matter aside for charity ;-)

Let's face it, he has probably regretted his 'BIGT by the AGM' statement and is trying to be more measured in what he promises and when.
