And suspension and chassis' will become commoditised, made by a handful of manufacturers. So they'll mostly be the same.

Most of the gadgetry on modern cars is pointless crap that allows sellers to ramp the price. IMO.

People already buy brands rather than products. A Skoda is an Audi for half price. And the stupidly flashyier it is, the better. Including 'supercars'... where the hall can you drive a 200mph car? It's all about ego, and the manufacturers know this. Britain has for ages been known as Treasure Island by the German car industry because the brits are so obsessed with brands and image that they pay more than most for German cars. Personally I drive a 21 year old Japanese Honda HRV and would like a very simple classic... like a Peugeot 204 cabriolet.. that I can pootle about in. Simpler the better.
I like the EV revolution, but can't see why the car industry should be any less susceptible to commodification than any other consumer product. My background is IT (prior to that, printing industry) and my career has been destroyed twice by tech change and commodification. It's how things go. And perhaps EVs will become cheaper with more competition.

Oh goody. So at some point in the next 28 years this deal might finally get done. Sounds about right.

Hard evidence that the automotive industry will be dissolved by the commodification of the technology. If the complicated bits of a car only comprises a battery that anyone can buy, four electric motors and software, who needs the existing goliath sized, specialised companies that make engines and the other complicated stuff that goes into a ICE car? Massive change underway. Cars will be less and less about tech and more about brand. The global auto industry must be worried. Now anyone can build cars.

They're bots that place those small trades. Institutions use them to manipulate price and sentiment. It should be illegal but of course there are too many 'lawmakers' in parliament who benefit from it for that to happen. (see that ****roach Rees-Mogg who owns a hedge fund for example)

Sorry, that should read 8.5 million Canadian dollars. Be a pretty nominal investment otherwise.

The announcement of an 8.5 CaD investment in EMN by he European Development Bank bodes well for EMH. From he EMN announcement:

"The EBRD is a multilateral bank that promotes the development of the private sector and entrepreneurial initiative in almost 40 economies across three continents. The Bank is owned by 71 countries, including the Czech Republic, as well as the EU and the European Investment Bank. EBRD investments are aimed at making the economies in its regions competitive, inclusive, well-governed, green, resilient and integrated. To date, the EBRD has invested more than EUR 1.2 billion in 110 projects in the Czech economy. The Czech Republic is the only member to have ‘graduated’ from the EBRD, which it did in 2007. However, in 2021, after a request by its government to help with the recovery from the coronavirus pandemic, the Bank agreed to resume investing in the country."

'choose to'. My typing skills get worse by the day.

haha.. I'm very pro Tern and I chose the believe on the basis of anecdotal evidence that DA is doing well. But I agree with you. Claims like that, just pulled out of the air, are meaningless and are probably written by someone who never learned the academic discipline of quoting sources. I'm probably a lot more optimistic than you, but cannot put a short argument as to why, although I could probably write pages if I was prepared to spend a few hours. This share relies on investor's instincts, wide reading, and interpretation skills rather than hard evidence. And investing here is very much about personal choice. There's an element of gambling. But there is with all AIM shares, and I've been taken in before by directors who ramp their own company with inflated reports and statements in RNSs. This doesn't happen here. The problem is a lack of info rather than a surplus of fed optimism. And I think I prefer it this way.

Your well phrased post made me laugh though. But I'm past taking seriously anything that's written on any board in any country for any of my investments. These problems are universal and perennial. And given that rampers and derampers alike seem to have little or no influence on the share price, Tern's investment value lies in whatever emerges upon an asset sale, whatever the share price is doing in the meantime. In the absence of hard info from what are private companies with no obligation to reveal their status, you either choose to believe or not. If not, leave it alone. And if you do, buy and believe... but don't imagine that posting constant optimism is going to have any effect whatsoever on your eventual returns. And ditto th naysayers.. really, get over yourselves.

Here we go. Get ready to read the same bilge repeated ad infinitum every day until you want to cry. Over and over and over.... Sure way of scaring everyone off this board, the only one left that's vaguely worth reading. What the hell. Makes no difference to the share price anyway.

And you chuggsy wuggsy. Sorry, mislaid my rosetinted glasses. You were wrong in the group about debt rollover and I was right. You're once again pulling spurious ideas out of thin air and proclaiming them as right. We'll see. I hope you are. As for agenda... the standard response of paranoid fools who cannot form an argument. Goodbye.

Yes.. liquidity events for DA/InVMA. Did AS stipulate they'd be for Tern?

I've been here about six years. I been listening to these predictions on these boards for all of that time. I know how imprecise AS is in his use of language, not to mention punter's tendency to extrapolate everything he says. I'm expecting nothing, but live in hope. As usual with this company.

No one can know if anything will happen in Jan/Feb. or not. Not you or anyone else. I think DA's and InMVA's respective inward investments (stock sales) by external investors ere the events AS was referring to. I hope a proper asset sale happens soon. I desperately ned it to. But I neither expect it soon, nor assume it won't happen as there's little or nothing to suggest it will or won't.

I'm pretty sure that AS regards Venafi's buy in to DA and the external insti investments into InVMA as liquidity events. Are you seriously suggesting that two asset sales are going to happen in the next 3 days?

Rhodi, what is it that you think constitutes a 'liquidity event'? (we've had two by my count)

They are doing. There's possibly two battery factories in the pipeline. Refining capability would be a great idea. As it is, a Canadian company are setting up operations in Europe... they shouldn't have to. Then there's the manganese that the CR has....

Whatever politicking they do, VW are hardly going to change their plans for Skoda exclusively for the CR.

As InVMA has now also had it's share structure rationalised and tidied up, and institutional investors are seen to be involved, perhaps this means that Tern (and the other holders such as AL) are finally (finally!) moving into proper asset sales mode.
