"Versarien Investor Event 2 Dec 2019
Neill Ricketts came to the Pantmawr Inn, Cardiff for an Investor evening on Monday 2 December. The meeting was well organised at short notice by LTH ‘Schmally’ who lives locally. NR says he was expecting 5-7 people and was pleased when over 20 turned up, mostly from the local area, and including some guests. Neill brought Nigel Laughton with him to organise the Charity Raffle (which raised over £400), and also, to our delight, his Dad, who he described as a better rugby player than himself.
We started with a Q&A: My question - ‘On the recent deal with MAS we’ll be supplying Graphinks to the manufacturer, but we have the freedom to strike deals directly with some of their clients, which includes some of the biggest global sports brands. What form would these deals take?’
NR (paraphrased): Firstly is not just Graphinks involved with MAS, it could later be Nanene and other future products. This agreement will enable VRS to agree marketing deals directly with the MAS client companies, and any other clothing brand. MAS are cool about this, because we may in future bring new clients to them, as we are getting enquiries about textiles from companies who are not MAS clients. (NR explained this better in his VOX Markets video yesterday, describing the ‘pyramid’ process of contracting with a top firm in an industry, like MAS, and letting the lesser players come to VRS/MAS for their Graphene textile solutions).
What is VRS’ relationship with the City? (we got a bit side-tracked into this)
NR: ‘We must be the most unpopular quoted company with the City, because while sticking with the AIM rules, I don’t play their games. We don’t control the deal flow, so it happens when it happens, so we don’t mention big names prematurely which would just send the share price higher - the metrics will catch up eventually. This is completely at odds with the way of the West Coast where I spent some time, That was bonkers, and it’s not our style although my way does not suit the likes of Lucien Meirs’. [hence the attention from the TW brigade; the naivety of some investors who follow them seems not to be lost on NR]
The Big 5. As quoted by NR (and now modified on his advice!) these are:
* Textiles
* AECOM polymers and concrete
* Oil & Gas
* Aerospace
* China
These are the ‘quickest to market’, but behind these 5 are 30 other priority targets with about 100 coming along behind.
Part 2 to follow!
Psxtalks thank you for posting. Its what I hear but I haven't the time now to follow the other side. Cheers
Having specifically invested in China and got mugged, loed to and left fir dead, I have from day 1 always been FULLY aware of China. If anything it is my concern and even a deal does not neceaasrily mean a deal will follow through.
I would much prefer BIG news from the US who are lught years behind and are chasing shadows on many front, infrastructure is crushed and years of redevelopment needed. Where is the Edgar Hoover when you need one ?
Asia inc Japan, Taiwan and Korea look massive markets to me and a little less dodgy then the all consuming Chinese Premier Mr Xing. He will know about UK tech personally at these levels, for sure !!!
When the deal comes in it will be much much bigger but just remember my above experience - China mainly.
PSX: - May I add my thanks to others for your report from Cardiff, Monday 2nd December 2019. Could you please tell us who Lucien Meirs is and also who are the TW brigade ?? You and colleagues certainly had an enjoyable evening at the Hostelry chosen for your meeting. Is it a powerhouse in the beautiful Capital City of Wales, with its very friendly poeple. Good of you prepare and distribute your dissemination to us all. I imagine the black eye will last about four weeks having managed to acquire one in Eastbourne several years ago (falling up two steps, if you must know) ----- Yours, Max.
They are basically well known share Trolls who take great delight in pulling down companies in order to short their stocks!
Lucien Miers a.k.a the Bard of the Boleyn, Lucian is one of the UK’s best known short sellers. TW is Tom Winnifrith is founder and editor of the web site ShareProfits.com. A noted fraud buster and dubbed "The maverick Tipster".
The one main point about T.W whatever one states, is the fact that he is a good company doctor who knows how to strip a balance sheet apart and, anyone who claims differently do not understand what they are talking about. As near as I can make out there is a clash between personalities with Neil refusing to play ball however, T.W has such a record of spotting companies that are doomed to failure that it is not wise to just dismiss his comments. While I do not agree with T.W comments it would be foolish to just ignore his comments out of hand. For instance, just take stock of his recent successes and the losses that investors have had to suffer due to badly run companies and funds and, the action the F.C.A had failed to take. However one looks at the problem T.W is a good insurance and for me is like an early warning system.
The simple fact with Winnifrith is that he is part of a coordinated shorting team and his comments are all about the CEO and vindictive . Fact: they have enough in the kitty for the day to day operations and ability to produce 3 tonne pa.
Winnifrith is not clever he is devious and lf you follow his advice you will lose money on the majority of his advice, he is a failed businessman several times over.
If you have any doubts then you should sell so that the shorters will profit from you, I don't mind either way but orders and growth are closer that they have ever been and that is why shorters have been verbal over the last few days, they are worried that time is coming.
How on earth can you claim T.W is part of a coordinated shorting team? I suggest that you take a look at the "Woodford" funds and how he exposed them long before the day of reckoning and, if investors had taken notice of him their losses would have been minimal. In addition there have been too many fly by nights who have attempted suing him without any sign of success because quite plainly they were in the wrong. I do not follow T.W and neither do I rubbish him as no one is perfect but, I do take notice on his bearish stance on most companies and I have to say he has at times saved me from investing in a bad situation. Whether he is a failed business man many over does not concern me as there are factors outside of the companies control that actually determine success or failure just like events taking shape world wide at present.
I followed TW for a while and without a shadow of a doubt he knows his stuff, but like all of these paid pundits, they have to keep on coming up with the goods time after time, otherwise they would loose their subscribers. I am not a subscriber to his site so I haven't read his report, but I assume it's not good. However, from what I remember, when he's right, it's an "I told you so" moment, but when He's wrong it goes very quiet and it's a "moving right along" moment. So TW has to keep up the momentum to satisfy his followers and maybe VRS is going to be his bullying victim for the time being, and after all, there's got to be a certain amount of envy towards NR, because if VRS does make the big time, he is going to be seriously rich and that's going to irritate people like TW. I once had an email conversation with Tom Bulford (Red Hot Penny Shares) and he admitted that if there were no companies that looked like good candidates for the RHPS portfolio he would just pick three that might do well so that he had something to print that month and I think that TW does the same, although he tries to destroy them rather than boost them.
I take it that you don't follow twitter at all ABLE, got your head in the sand.
First of all, I deal in facts not maybe's and to keep out of trouble I do not bury my head in the sand as you like to phrase it. Unfortunately you need to be educated on what shorting is really about, it is all about spotting companies that for whatever the reason are heading downhill relative to their share price, the investor takes a position hoping to capitalise just like we do when we bank on a share price rising. I watched T.W in action at the board meeting of Vialogy years ago and the B.O.D were trying to hoodwink the shareholders into believing the company was in a healthy condition. T.W challenged them 3 times over the financial position stating he expected the company to run out of cash in six months. Finally, the B.O.D were forced to agree that he was correct. He has been very successful in spotting companies heading for trouble through misleading statements and fraud and what interest did the F.C.A show, very little or none. Just like you I have an interest in Versarien and I sincerely hope they will do well me included, but I do not kid myself. If one took notice of all the comments that have appeared on this site over the last 12 months the shares would have been 10 times higher than they are today. It begs the question, who are the rampers and who are the derampers?
Seem to have rose tinted specs as far as he is concerned ABLE, I know who the derampers are and have you in that category but horses for courses !

With the adding of more creditable industrial applications I would argue quite clearly that we are on the ascent following the hype of 201-2014, applications are the way to show progress. It is all about the textiles, construction, oil and gas and aerospace applications. https://twitter.com/timrogers1962/status/1202172984431194112
Surprised that Super capacitors aren't in the big 5 after all Gnanomat have cost VRS enough with a further 750K paid October and another £500k to follow by Apr 20
Lots of unknown sectors may pop up yet
Inov-8 adds graphene to its X-Talon range of footwear
The collaboration between the University of Manchester and British sportswear brand Inov-8, which started in 2017 and has already produced the G-Series range of graphene-enhanced shoes and a pair of hiking boots which utilize graphene, has now expanded even further.
Inov-8's new graphene-enhanced shoes image
Since launching in 2008, the X-Talon has been Inov-8’s best-selling off-road footwear collection. Now, the brand announced that they have evolved the range with the graphene-enhanced X-Talon G 235.

It's a good point Aquae although it was budgeted right from the outset. Took a while for the graphinks to take off but assume that there is a plan in there for Gnano and waiting to see what the announcement is Graphene Flagship ????
@GrapheneCA
We have a big announcement on Monday. ??
Please join us in #Brussels for our Press Conference, which will take place at hotel NH Berlaymont (Boulevard Charlemagne 11-19, Brussels) at 11.00am CET.
Also worth listening/looking at the recent interview here as well where he talks about footwear (and made a mistake) as part of the '5' which of course it isn't but must have been foremost in his mind https://twitter.com/**********/status/1201777969120923648
Try this then as LSE blocked that ****************************/articles/q-a-with-versarien-vrs-ceo-neill-ricketts-29878ff/
Ah well , lol try google for the latest VRS interview
I Found a article on the graphene info site interesting read footwear .
If clothing happens footwear is got to be on the graphene agenda.
Check out the latest news on the graphene info site
Ff
Lo
Listened to the podcast again as you say foot wear was mentioned so sports protection and maybe fashion types to come .
So lots of stuff to look forward to with ongoing development as graphene evolves commercially .
Ff
Already behind the curve when it comes to footwear
https://beforeitsnews.com/science-and-technology/2019/12/inov-8-adds-graphene-to-its-x-talon-range-of-footwear-2969059.html
Not too interested in the footwear at the moment Aquae, good that Manchester Uni got in there first but think it is just the rubber sole rather than the whole 'shoe' . However Vivo was delayed "Production relocation caused temporary delay to the project. Initial compounding of materials has now been successfully completed with different variations of materials and loadings. Further tests now underway and first samples to be produced. Commercial understanding over a launch product in place"
and beginning to wonder if the link with MAS will also spur on Nike with the footwear.
Why is there so much selling here with all the good news coming on so many fronts? Is it the timescale or are too many worried to hold over election results?
Whole AIM market has had a bad year Wanaka, suspect that is something to do with it but will also be selling to average down on other shares I would think.
