They're now offering me almost 20% more than I paid for my lowest top ups yesterday.The offer keeps increasing.Sorry guys, I'm holding fast!

I believe that major shareholder makeup is required to be updated every quarter given it was last published 30 September, we're due refreshed figures by end of year.

tmoon - think he used to be 2nd largest, I believe he is now the largest. Certainly you're right that there are no larger holders listed on the web site.

Ellissj - if you want an opinion, I think VRS will be at breakeven or profitable by/at the next set of results. If there is a loss next time my guess is it will be a very small one...

[tmoon] 14/12/2017 10:19

This may be a silly question but if NR owns circa 11 mil shares and he is the second biggest shareholder ( stated as much ) then who is the largest as those major ones on VRS site are all less than 11 mil.

Look at these largish volumes reported an hour late going through.They are all buys, this is precisely the opposite price action from yesterday.Market makers selling at a big mark up, that which they accumulated yesterday?

Thx super, maybe sidelined was too strong. Still time for the copper foam to come good. It's clear that NR and his team are talented. And to be approached by Manchester and Cambridge Universities trusted too. I invested initially because of what seemed its obvious potential, but also I was pleased to see VRS generating income along the way, and looking to break even asap. To my mind that showed a company with both feet planted in the real world. Doers and go getters. It seems to me that many Aim companies are happy to burn cash and dilute on a whim, for years on end ! VRS are extraordinary and time will tell. Patience reqd. But certainly ducks look to be in a row ahead of time. Aimo. Gla. Best ellis.

I like that phoenixs

I have stopped reading books!! Why? Because all my reading time is consumed here trying to keep abreast with ever increasing rate of posting.

While IOF is off topic, an absolute irony would be if SQM paid VRS to produce a Nanene solution to their salt flat problems!!

Roger,

Agreed.I would prefer a steady 1p or 2p movement up per week for the next year but there are a few momentum players around and hopefully they get bored and move on.

[fuji99] 14/12/2017 09:57

ashehzi - Good post and good investment ideas. I was mostly a long termer all my investing life with a few exceptions from time to time when the drop in a stock is overdoen and the stock is NOT volatile. For trading, say 25%, you are right with non-volatile stocks mainly from the FTSE 100 (VOD, etc.) and a few others less heavy. I would NEVER daily-trade an AIM stock especially volatile ones. VRS is a typical example.

[chillpill] 14/12/2017 09:54

Hopefully a few monkeys have fallen out of the tree in the last few days.

[rogerbridge] 14/12/2017 09:53

I agree phoenixs, VRS is a long term investment, spikes up are nice and watching the value of your shares gives one that warm feeling inside. Then the dips come along and the baby gets thrown out of the pram and people start screaming what is going on. Traders make life interesting, but give me a steady rise upwards any day.
The recent price weakness has helped some new investors aboard and long termers increase their holdings. In a few weeks time, we will probably not remember this pullback.

Could be a false dawn but it's starting to feel like the Cantor supply has dried up.

[superg1] 14/12/2017 09:48

Elliss

Copper foam isn't sidelined the is being trialled by dozens too as per the news. The issue with that is it's disruptive and displaces others which can always be an issue with long term contracts already in play etc.

The graphene wasn't a look see for something else. The UOM had to convince them to take it on.

It didn't make sense to me how VRS managed to pick out 2 world leads I Graphene with the GNPs and ink.

The answer is it sought out them as a desired partner to take it to it's full commercial potential. VRS are a very well respected team.

[ashehzi] 14/12/2017 09:45

For long term holders, my perspective is you need good stocks (value investing) with good money in the bank (not needed in near future). This will result in +ve long term.

Most people want to cash in short term and want to have 100/200/300+ % rewards in a year and that leads people to do short term trading or some people go with a mixture of long and short term investments. But then, one needs to find a good balance e.g. 75% portfolio long term stocks and 25% short term. With a £50,000 cash e.g. in hand, £12,500 is good amount for short term gains (e.g. £100/200 etc. a day). This demands expert knowledge and not everyone is good at it.

Having said that, I think most people with good money these days fall in 2nd category (long term + short term).

Regards.

Could be a sharp rise this. Short squeeze?

[phoenixs] 14/12/2017 09:44

What has happened during the last few days has been very good. It is a bit like pruning. Cut back the dead to allow the new growth. If done properly the growth is faster than if not done at all. There is my analogy of the day.
Therefore, I would suggest that buying now may well lead to a quick pick up in the share price towards and above the previous levels. IMHO

A video about the uber expensive McLaren watch featuring graphene composite case.. Andre Geim from Manchester Uni being interviewed about it at 3.10 into it..

[vivgav] 14/12/2017 09:39

Looks like a nice bounce ahead guys.

[the stigologist] 14/12/2017 09:38

Basically everything i've said about this being a unicorn and the option pricing model being the correct 'valuation' framework has been proven right. That is what a scientific and analytical background gives you.

I said at 36p there would be days in the future when the stock would move 36p in a day let alone be 36p... it simply comes with the territory of owning this sort of stock.

Volatility is the key metric in option pricing models versus the more tangible and standard metrics that go into Stock valuation models such as Gordon Growth Model.
