if you're in a stock for mere 3p gains then go for it.

Has no one actually asked how some poster supposedly knows so much about another poster?! I'm more inclined to believe this is as much rubbish as stuff tom posts.

F1 for some time in the UK wasn't always live but highlights. He certainly did in later times when the BBC and ITV did it live go to the races.

Bit of info https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Prix_(TV_programme) certainly confirms what he said would have been true and possible.

". I would go out to each Grand Prix on the Thursday — only the European ones, because the budget didn’t run to the long-haul races — mooch about, talk to people, watch Saturday qualifying and then fly back to London on Saturday night. On Sunday afternoon I’d watch the Eurovision feed at Television Centre, they’d edit it down to a tight 27 minutes and I’d dub the commentary on afterwards. Sometimes the edit was only finished at the last minute, so I’d have to commentate as the programme went out, doing it all as though I was there. You’d jump from lap five to lap 23, and vital chunks had to be left out. It was extremely demanding. .... The first Grand Prix we did live from the circuit was Monaco 1980."

After looking more into Chamois and who they work with...

The after market they are aiming for typically gets word around via clubs, track days, meets, etc. (or their forums as we see when people post links to positive reviews on here). When I've had specialist cars all my parts and which tyres, brakes etc to use have come from word of mouth and tests in magazines. All they really need is a company who can tap in to that aspect of the market and get ads and write ups in the specialist car mags, websites and the like. Make people aware they exist as after market parts that are better than OEM or competitors. They work with an agency for spreading stuff digitally and through advertising so a positive there.

Chamois also work with associates, one of which - KCD - works with "Motorsport Industry Association. MIA – the Unbeatable Global Business Network for Motorsport and High Performance Engineering." of which there are 5,000 companies, including massive names in the business. They also work with the defence industry to help motorsport companies make and supply new parts for defence use (in fact KCD has a director who was a founder member of the government supported plan to put motorsport companies in touch with defence to develop parts). Chamois also has links to defence.

For me, once you start looking into it a bit further the benefits of these smaller specialists they seem to make up for not having a big name or fancy office. Think ST have everything they need to reach a wide audience of aftermarket and large automotive companies. It also gives them the potential to move beyond that in to the defence world. I will wait and see but alcon and jankel have been with them and their parts get used on all sorts of big projects and aren't tiny businesses. They both have defence parts as well so I suspect ST want to enter this market (from ST's website):

"SPECIAL VEHICLES
The next-generation of special vehicles for military and other applications are aiming for ever tougher payload and fuel efficiency targets. These targets are in turn driving the adoption of lightweight and composite materials in every area of the vehicle. By changing from traditional iron to ST’s Carbon-Ceramic brakes, unsprung weight savings of 20-30kg are achievable on special vehicle applications (dependent on brake size and no of wheels)."

MVIS reviews the index "Next Review: 19 Mar 2021" on their site so I guess then a week later it gets changed by the ETFs which track the index.

Yes forget about it it is the weekend. Go and do something else. That was the advice of successful investor Peter Lynch - and also the reason he says most crashes happen on a Monday. People just spend the weekend becoming economists and stressing about stocks instead of going out with the kids etc. He also said there are many better things to do in life that are more useful than watching stock prices.

RMS have made loads of mistakes and missed opportunities. poorly managed company even a large shareholder sold out in November. I wouldn't have faith in them to deliver the product or even know what to do with it if they did.

Best tell LSE to get a better computer so it guess right then.

Yup especially as someone posted the othr day a dark pool can only hold 4% of shares and 8% over all dark pools... so that they're going to get 10 - 20% is impossible.

yup just ignore the sad pathetic troll - he lost money through his stupidity, has no credibility and proves time and again he knows nothing.

Looks like a framed thing of articles around havieron and just been titled that in general. Don't think you can read anything secret or incoming news in to it.

Wouldn't want only 25 - 40% on this price... wouldn't even be back to where it was!

3rd question is correct and why a lot of people don't invest in things like this as they can't value it until well a value is known. 4th one is a little harsh though.

"it avoids having to pick the winners yourself, or else invest in a broad spread of companies directly. "

INRG was the same for me did me a great return this past year but led to me investigating other companies individually. HDRO should do the same for a lot of US investors - who will unfortunately probably just turn to enphase, plug power, ballard etc.

Or it set the weightings when AFC were higher in m/cap... Highly unlikely it decided on the weightings the day it launched.

Long term in today's markets seem to be holding a stock over the weekend.

Yes because you can't just change a whole world over night and as someone on CNBC said this morning, think how much of it is tied into other things at the moments like plastics, chemicals etc. we still need. It can only be phased in slowly.

Exactly. Avenues to sell to aftermarket or independent/smaller makers around the world is more of a thing for PR. Guessing if big car companies are interested in brakes they know of the only two companies in this sector already...

But I'm not sure why a new company with a small amount of staff is a bad thing, especially as they have all worked in the sector for longer than that! I'll judge them on the results and going by other companies it has been positive. Also not sure why you think ST should rock up to a big boy and pay their higher fees and probably not be a priority or get much more out of it.

I have read zoros post and it is clearly sarcasm and a joke. Lighten up.

Testimonials are good, highlight brand awareness increased, contacts, etc. enthusiasm of team and their hard work. Companies all in a similar area. What's not to like.

Better to go with a company who will prioritise the sector and a small company like ST than a big one who hasn't got real time for it?
