Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
I don't know what to think Chesh. I pretty sure fussy 'boutique' is'nt the way to ubiquity, which what we want surely - teens, twenty-something's up, all on board STC. Trills post above, hi lighting the £25 products is more like it, more palatable to the average person. I realise that 'average' changes depending on the circles you move in, but £100 slap..... for the face.... c'mon, someone's avin a larf!
We will have to see, but no, don't think I'm liking this direction of travel - own selfish self-interest 'n' all that!
Oh dear, this is worrying to me. Months ago, when this initiative was announced, I said it could be a really lucrative, many of you had similar thoughts, we all could see the potential to generate significant income. I also said that they had to be so careful not to be seen as a mere shill for certain boutique brands - it's kinda starting to look that way; If they carry on with this trajectory, they will burn through the target demographic customer base, and quickly exhaust growth and take up in each country they choose to operate in, settling ultimately around a 'base' of those who are committed, have disposable income to burn and an inclination to worry about their biome score. Meh!
Dingo has made some great points, others too - nuts - I'm now thinking GB and missus are going fcuk it up..... this can't be the optimal strategy; pushing boutique 'approved' product. Problem is, many of the deleterious ingredients in cosmetics are designed to keep them bacteria free (paraben central), have nuclear winter type shelf life, and none of that is compatible (well I don't think so) with a happy microbiome. I use a product called BeeYummy, made with bee stuff, it lasts..... indefinitely - no parabens.
Bugger! Having the large corporate clients on board (the likes of Unilever) I thought that they may be some product line in the modest priced category that would meet the criteria; I have no idea why I thought that because I already know that 95% of cosmetics are chock-full of preservatives and nasty chems to keep things long life and stable - wishful thinking on my part - def not microbiome friendly. Ah well, Lab work and water testing it is then!
Plz read with tongue in cheek - I'm still firmly behind DVRG, just a little Urrghh!
"We now have a range of COVID-19 antigen and antibody lateral flow tests with manufacturing agreements or in the late stages of technical transfer, with our capabilities meaning we are also able to support any changes in product specification in the event of new variants."
Late stages - hopefully means, almost there!
Design modification?? - "with our capabilities meaning we are also able to support any changes in product specification in the event of new variants."
In the recent interview with Pilbeam, GB touches upon (hesitantly) a new manufacturing partner, to be announced shortly, remember? I had assumed he was alluding to CR and this 'deal' which is in the offing. Perhaps there is someone else in the wings? The Chinese company that are going to produce for Microsaic possibly? Does it matter to us - if we are investors? Sufficed to say things are shaping up nicely, and I am content to sit on the shares for.... well, perhaps indefinitely, see where we go.
Well done Ragnarr mate. Heroic as usual; you're improving, not many typos, and that was a lot of typing!
Nice to read; I don't require reassurance, but it is strangely reassuring when read, rather than simply listened to.
And also of note, Chesh - DVRG have a manufacturing partner (for PD production) who is soon to be announced; which I think illustrates and underpins Gerard's statement around customers in the pipeline. Necessity for production partner + maxing out in-house capacity = burgeoning demand.
Liked the reiteration of integration of detection for forever chemicals though I hope this will still be possible whilst keeping headline production costs under tight control; we have got to ensure these phase 2/3 units remain affordable/competitive in the marketplace (the whole point of CR deal - well, one big one at least).
- playing it with your own rules.
Next time the scumbags turn up, and they will, as sure as chit always stinks, think about much of what he highlights here, he's spot on - don't feed the parasites.
Written by Wadogara on the ODX thread but just relevant here.
Just have a read and think how much of this relates to certain posters on here.
Do not underestimate a Bashers influence on a stock. The Pro's are good at what they do and what they do is profit from your losses.
A BASHER'S HANDBOOK :
1. Be anonymous 2. Use 10% fact. 90% suggestion. The facts will lend credibility to your suggestions. 3. Let others help you learn about the stock. Build rapport (Paulcon) and a support base before initiating your Bashing routine. 4. Enter with humour and reply to all who reply to you. 5. Use multiple ISP's, handles and aliases. 6. Use two (2) or more aliases to simulate a discussion. 7. Do not start with an all out slam of the stock. Build softly. 8. Identify your foes (Longs) and the boards "guru" Use them to your advantage. Lead them do not follow their lead. 9. Only Bash until the tide/momentum turns. Let doubt carry it the rest of the way. 10. Give the appearance of being open minded (Paulcon). 11. Be bold in your statements. People follow strength. 12. Write headlines in caps with catchy statements. 13. Pour it on as your position gains momentum. Not your personality. 14. Don't worry about being labelled a "Basher". Newbies won't know your history. 15. When identified put up a brief fight, then back off. Return in an hour unless your foe is a weak in reasoning powers. 16. Your goal is to limit the momentum of the run. Not to tank the company or create a plunge in the stock; be subtle and consistent. 17. Kill the dreams of profits, not the company or the stock. 18. Use questions to create critical thinking. Statements to reinforce facts. 19. DO NOT LIE, NAME CALL or USE PROFANITY. 20. Encourage people to call the company. 99% won't. They'll take your word for claims made. If they do call you can always find something that is inaccurate in how they report their findings. 21. Discourage people from believing Press Releases. Encourage them to call the company. They won't out of laziness. 22. If the companies history/PR's are negative constantly point to that. Compile a list of this data prior to beginning your efforts. 23. If the price rises blame it on the hype or the PR, temporary mass reaction, the market, etc. Anything but the stock itself. 24. If other posters share your concerns, play on that and share theirs too. 25. Always cite low volume, even when it's not. 26. Three or four aliases can dominate a board and wear down the longs. 27. Bait the Longs into personal debates putting their focus/efforts on you and not the stock or facts. Divert their attention from facts. 28. Promote other stocks that would-be investors can turn to instead of the one your Bashing. 30. Do not fall for challenges on the "values" of what you are doing, it's a game and you are playing it with your ow
Actively promotes - Indeed! I noticed, noted that they had won; scientifically proven by Labskin. Fantastic.
Yeah, it's a real coup GB, tremendous promotion for them, for us. Hope you are enjoying, can enjoy, these successes, it's been a tough year (well, for me at least).
Such a shame about the innovation award, I was really hoping we would win that one. Ah well, mustn't be greedy.
Rat - GB announced that they had won the 'Best New Skin Brand', I thought the gold award would be the winner, perhaps not? Highly commended, a win, a distinction by any other name; the new 'Gold', who knew.
Taking away the necessity for financial prudential control from banking - disaster.
De-mutualisation of building societies - disaster.
Partial privatisation of NHS - utter disaster.
Privatisation of railways - utter disaster.
Privatisation of power - utter disaster.
Privatisation of water - utter disaster.
The con in Conservative, only slightly more culpable than the numpties of New Labour!
The list could go on and on. Having said that, the only people who didn't notice were the perpetually half cut (so most of my ever so middle-class friends) the drug addled, everyone in the city (who profited (self-serving, self-imposed, selective ignorance)). Again, you could go on and on.
I don't think it's unfair to say that everywhere, an Industry, a consortium, a Gov 'Paper Tiger' be it regulatory authority or ombudsman, whomever, are left to 'mark their own homework', they invariably fail miserably. To ask them to be both gamekeeper and poacher is, to be fair, a tough ask from the profit seeker; altruistic, benevolent they are not! For the most part.
We got the politicians, the policies, the cronyism, the short-sighted, stupid, near term, election next year, muddle-headed thinking we deserved. Phew!
Aside from my ranting. Bring on the water testing; under extreme governmental duress!
Yeah RD, the 'ER' seemed odd, though, it could well be advantageous in the occasional presentations who have something seriously wrong, but isn't immediately obvious; as one of a suite of diagnostic tools, it might well be of some value if it can pinpoint in minutes/hours an underlying cause. We seem to be moving increasingly toward these rapid detection modalities - which is clearly a good thing, IMHO.
No, I don't think you were. It's an elucidation to the recent rhetoric in the media reporting on the government's U-turn regarding the regulatory oversight they are now seeking to bring to bear upon our lazy, greedy, private water company's, whether they like it or not. Not before time. They will be hence forth 'compelled' to make provision for high-level testing in future budgeting considerations, and let's hope, that our government writes robust legislation outlining timelines for compliance - with penalty for non-compliance!
Priceless; "I think we are due another few porkys ( fraudulent slip ) to get us back on track."
Another, rather messy, tea exiting nostrils - into lap - moment!
RB - PYC get 6% of 'net' revenues from Val. So, 100M net, would yield them their max earning of £6M. I'm an optimistic soul by nature, but that's not likely; but yeah, it would be great for them and astonishing for us, were it to happen.
In the body of the TPI research note, this caught my attention and piqued the interest:
"while existing bindings have also demonstrated the ability to capture/detect cancerous cells in benchtop (sic) equipment testing, making way
for clinic diagnostic solutions transferring to point-of-need from hospital ER to GP clinics."
So a potential follow on for the future, in the vein of PulMed Bio BT test for Covid-19 detection and as a more general diagnostic tool for early disease detection - ModWater PD technology might well also be fruitfully repurposed for a 'clinical diagnostic liquified poo - early cancer screening - detection tool'. Lovely!
Coming soon to a GP surgery near you. Another iron in the fire. I know you can't wait.
Extraordinary isn't it, after all that noise, all the wailing, the whining, concern, it boils down to - spreading fear simply to get in a couple of pence cheaper, because you were late, very, very late. ******s! I Sincerely hope they had sold and missed re-entry, really just nasty parasites.
Frix - there is no problem in the near term, Paul the nth knows this. He's a disingenuous snake in the grass, just stirring things up. Soft Mugg.
I don't subscribe to any of that nonsense chap. What does you posting old filler have to do with me, getting in touch with Labskin? Why do I care what or why they are posting 2 year old articles on Linkedin. Most here recognise you for what you are.
My point - Why did you feel the need to post it - are you android with limited function?
New (old) article - must post - must post.... you know what I think of you; you flip and flop about.... I'm positive..... ooh errr now I'm a bit negative.
You're full of it!
