A good sign that progress is being made, if so. https://twitter.com/Travelport/status/965903970207256577?ref_src=twcamp%5Eshare%7Ctwsrc%5Em5%7Ctwgr%5Eemail%7Ctwcon%5E7046%7Ctwterm%5E3

Escovido, I too am inclined to think it is a load of BS, though there was quite a heated debate on here the other week in advance of the NGA announcement I think it was, and so I was surprised that three such trades met with no response (lucky, apologies you are correct 1 was cancelled).

Hi Fred, no I was just surprised that the usual suspects - who get very excited when a single such trade appears - haven't made an appearance today given that there were 4 trades.

....considering that there have been four 1 share trades reported so far this afternoon. I would've thought that'd bring out many gleeful folks proclaiming anything up to four RNSs are imminent (within 3 days was the claim by one poster last time). I guess time will tell ;-)

I see FJET are advertising for Captains, First Officers and Engineers for ERJ145s in Zimbabwe - is this to replace regular churn or to support growth (anyone know)?

Mr Blackie, the problem is that a lot of folks on here (or the other place) really only want to hear that they've made a good (nae great) investment decision and that 'Rodders this time next year we'll all be millionaires' and if they don't get that you are seen as a derapming troll and (usually) filtered. As you say there is some level in truth in what you post - following the run of news at the end of last year the SP made it into the 80s, it then started falling back (with no news) to the 50s before the China news then broke in early January propelling it to 120s, now that we are back to no news (and aided by the market correction of the other week) we are back to the 70s and on a slow downward trajectory as there is no news to otherwise support. Pre China I was of the opinion that a 'correct' (hype / chase the spike free) SP was probably somewhere in the 40s, though post the China news somewhere higher is probably warranted, and to me this could easily be in the 60s. However, any of the following could cause a 're-rate' of sorts (to higher levels): - group-wide profitability - any of the 9-10 collaborations (as there are 5-6 from a year earlier and not just the ones from end 2017) turning into regular, repeat (and hopefully growing) orders - financial close of the China deal - Chinese facility in production (which I don't think will be in June 2018) - further collaborations (especially if for products other than Nanene)

Mr Blackie, I agree always DYOR and don't worry about the stuff said on platforms such as this as they have little to no influence upon the SP, and more importantly should have little to no influence upon your investment decisions. As for your investment approach, long term hold (like me), short term trading or even shorting that's up to you we're all different and I don't care what you do as long as we try and respect different opinions and have a good debate, hopefully based mainly upon facts, as no-one has the right or wrong answers (especially on BBs).

Forestfred, I agree a big order (or two) or the financial close on the China deal may have a big impact upon the SP, I just don't expect either thing to happen anytime soon, with lots of folk on here now being somewhat impatient (having been spoilt by the news stream at the end of last year into early January of this). The other thing that could have an impact upon the SP - regardless of the above - is overall group profitability (as it isn't yet) though it could be edging much closer come the year end (based upon good progress reported for H1 and the news since) though we may not find out about this until about July, even though year end is 31st March.

Hi Fred, I'm good thanks. As per my post from last week (Tuesday 13th @ 0934) Mr Blackie sort of has a point in that without news I think this is likely to drift lower (slowly) and IMHO I think it somewhat unlikely that there will be any meaningful news anytime soon (ie before Easter) though of course if there is I shan't complain, just don't expect it.

MrBlackie, NR confirmed - when asked on Twitter by a couple of admitted shorters - that VRS have paid nothing for their NGA membership and were asked to come on board (hence the freebie). Though you are correct NGA membership does usually come in exchange for a fee.

First mover advantage well and truly gone / wasted..... https://www.businessdailyafrica.com/corporate/companies/Jambojet-plans-for-four-more-planes-as-it-takes-off-to-Uganda/4003102-4306462-80pjumz/index.html

In response to more badgering on Twitter NR has highlighted Article 40 of the Olympic Charter that bars anybody (teams, athletes, national bodies, etc) apart from official IOC sponsors eg VISA, from talking about the Olympics for a period that extends from just before the games, through the Games, and for a number of weeks thereafter - so if there is anything to say it won't be for a little while yet (a month maybe) and anyway the Ladies Skeleton competition starts today so we should wait to see how they get on too....

From NR on twitter.... https://twitter.com/neillricketts/status/964192813876432897

eltonshango, the cynic in me would suggest that the lack of news is because there is nothing worth reporting, in respect of progress as they won't be making money (still) and their growth is now being stifled eg Kigoma, ATRs, the rumoured ERJ145 in Tanzania, etc

tooldoctor, I only mentioned that I'd bought more as I am constantly accused of be a deramper and not holding any shares when neither is true - see response today for example. In future I'll no longer mention whether or not I have shares, have added or sold, I'll just post opinions. I suppose at least I haven't been abused yet, so maybe things are looking up around here :-)

My view is warped you say - only because it doesn't agree with yours, doesn't make it any less valid. It's important that any newbies (welcome Dave) understand about this share rather than assuming 'the only way is up' / 'world domination is ours' mantra that is usually the only thing tolerated on this board (or the ADVFN one). As my post said this is very much a news driven share (currently) and without it is likely to drift as it has done previously - FYI I added over �5k worth of VRS shares over the last couple of weeks.

Fjetcrazy, everything she says is true, though you could also add... - fair treatment by the various CAAs to allow for network / route / frequency expansion - competent introduction of new services / frequencies / innovations by FJET management

....or will it begin a long slow fall??? This is a news driven share (currently) and as there hasn't been any for about 6 weeks, and there is probably no prospect of any for another 6 weeks or more will this hold it's current levels (low / mid 80s) or continue a long slow decline as it did from mid December 2017? Why is there no news imminent?? - to date there have been 9/10 collaboration / MoU deals signed over the last year or so 4 in the last few months and 5/6 a year or more ago - those from a year or more ago (Absolute Engineering, CT Engineering, Bromley Technologies, Warwick Manufacturing Group, Scafell Organics and the NGI/CPI Tender win) have so far - bar a few photos of a Bromlet sled on Twitter, produced little to no news since signature - therefore the 4 signed more recently (IAI, US Chemicals Company, Global Consumer Goods Company and Asian Sportswear Manufacturer) are also likely to produce little / no news any time soon - the only thing noteworthy (for which news is awaited) is progression on the LoI for a Chinese factory but this is likely to be complex to conclude and so will take time (could easily be months rather than weeks away) regardless of any previously hoped for start date - next financials (which will hopefully show overall profitability) are not due until July - most of the above action is in connection with Graphene for which (in the 2016 accounts) the company only employed 5 staff - the CEO is on record as saying that they struggle to cope with all the work / opportunities that they currently have, let alone taking on anymore so new collaborations / announcements outside of the 10 or so already listed seem unlikely as the focus is likely to be on making those deliver (and especially China) Therefore, to me, I don't see any imminent news and so a gentle decline in the SP is the most likely outcome in the immediate future for VRS. That said I will continue to hold, and add as I did last week.
