I bought in after reading a promising piece in the 'i' newspaper. The price has risen from about 50p to nearly £1. Thank you to the financial part of the 'i'...

I have held CLX for only two months, and yes they are hard to trade. I find that real patience and a short period of concentration over a few days usually gets the required deal done, though often at additional trading costs.
In early October it took me thirteen purchases to get me to my preferred investment of £20,000. The rewards have been excellent. I have taken £5000 in profits since then while maintaining my £20,000 investment within a £1000 margin. That is a remarkable return and so I wonder if my difficulty in purchasing in what is supposed to be a genuine market place has to do with wealthier bodies cornering the shares somehow. Oh dear now I sound anti the market that I really approve.
I bought in after reading about CLX in the "i" newspaper so am very grateful to their finance reporters.

Thank you Rivaldo for the link to the CEO interview. It is good to feel some enthusiasm coming down from above.

Having made a small gain here I tried to sell a fifth of my holding today. No joy, the market could not meet a requested sale of £1000. Something to do with it being so new on the market perhaps. It is most annoying being unable to take a small profit.

Thank you Gavster-NBC for your careful update. It is better than having a company Secretary to read for me.

Interesting to hear that Covid is not expected to affect GLO. I have a theory that, if anything, lockdowns and such will help us grow.

Remember that GLO pays an annual dividend of about 6%. This I did not realise until after I bought in. I was delighted. Not just a good prospect price wise.

I am very confident that my regular dividend from EVR will continue. The last one was 20p per share and I expect 40p per share in the Spring. They seem to alternate between 20p interim and 40p final. That is a yield close to 16% per year. This is a good dividend stock in my opinion.

I have just bought in here having decided to look for a new company with great potential. I will build my holding by investing all my dividends here till at least the of 2021. I confess that I do not really understand their technology, but exploring what I can find on the web and in particular the Calnex site, I am hopeful that I am an early investor in an adventurous tech company. I first read about Calnex in the i newspaper as they were joining AIM. Calnex Solutions is the new youngster in my portfolio. I admit to being rather nervous about my judgement here, but I shall stick to my rule to give every new investment some time.

At £3.69. It seemed a good price at the time, and offers a yield of about 17%. EVR is my only mining share and my only Russian company, so I must not go over the top. Thanks to Gavster for information I had not found. It has encouraged rather than Discouraged me. I am a little concerned that the dividend may be unsustainable. It seems very high at about 17%. I hope this is a reflection of the good price I managed to achieve, rather than markets expecting a reduction in the dividend soon.

Bodes well for next month. I really cannot see this falling much further. Mind you I am nearly 14% down, so probably best to ignore my views.

This is the first time I have read about Quantum dots in my daily paper.

Prof Robert Taylor (Condensed Matter Physics) and his colleagues in Cambridge have published a new article on Quantum dots.
Tiny specks or ‘quantum dots’ of gallium nitride (GaN) – described as the most significant semiconductor material since silicon – could deliver a dramatic leap forward in data processing speeds and data security, thanks to ground-breaking work at Cambridge and Oxford Universities.
As part of a close and fruitful collaboration dating back to 2003, Dr Rachel Oliver, Reader in Materials Science at Cambridge, and Robert Taylor, Professor of Condensed Matter Physics at Oxford, are leading research to help release these dots’ remarkable potential and answer crucial questions about their characteristics and capabilities.
This dovetailing of complementary expertise spanning two SES Consortium members has already delivered a stream of ‘world-first’ breakthroughs in the field of optoelectronics – the branch of electronics that involves the harnessing of light – with the promise of many more to come.

I do not feel able to comment further. My total lack of understanding is really coming into play here. But I thought it might be of interest on this board.

A healthy 7% rise this morning. I bought at 16p and was delighted to see strong rises to 19p, very unusual when I choose a new company. Not too unhappy now on a small loss.
Main reason for this message is to thank you all for following the developments in the court case. I only manage to play investments about once a week so do not have the time. Nor do I have the knowledge or experience that some on here share. Your informative discussions are quick to read and a great help in understanding events.
To me it feels like a long journey is only just beginning.

A rise of over 3% today, Monday. So perhaps it is not all bad. I cannot see why we are heading back to the lows of early this year...

It is never a good image to steal intellectual property, but when it is a company as powerful and rich as Samsung taking from minnows like NANO it is straight bullying. I am genuinely shocked especially as the small company was probably delighted to have interest shown by such an international name. Both Samsung and their government should be shamed as publicly as possible. I am more than willing to add my name to any such project.
I have been expecting to see some sort of rebuttal from Samsung but they seem to prefer their lawyers to refuse any such decent and honest approach.
As usual we ordinaries are all left wondering as to the real story behind all this.

Thanks Schjmh, an excellent account as to why companies buy back their own shares.

I do not really understand the sale of company shares. Does it contribute to recent drops in share price? Will it in the end increase the value of all our own shares? It really is becoming quite a fire-sale? Or is it relatively unimportant? I really need some advice on this, please...

The graphs on this site show a real roller coaster ride. However I have decided that the best highs, on November 4th last year and July 16th this year, suggest that my average of 195p is not too bad. Reading the website is more interesting than most of my other companies. I get an encouraging vibe. I begin to hope that the opening price of nearly 250p could be achieved again with the right determination and vigour. After all there is no gain without risk. Thanks for your comments Knife and Oracle.

Sorry to interrupt a good share chat but I am really beginning to hope here. Are things happening out there? 8% in a morning is more than good...

Mostly my worries come from the Graphs for GLO. The company does seem able to lose half its value in three months: Jan to Apr this year. I bought partly because I was looking for growth in the power sector and this did seem possible here. However I am think that the price I paid was a good entry point. I also like the international ambitions of GLO. They obviously want to build a great company. When I looked at the standard supply companies I felt that GLO stood out from the usual biggies as an opportunity.
