Also my random punt for massive potential of return is Ridgecrest (RGDC) one for the brave but relisted at 2p but were at over 123p back in December. Worth a tickle.

Cando, CLP is a definite mover due to some serious buys yesterday, think you could be right seeing that shift on up to 5p, potentially 10p by the early summer. Also Ctea is looking to be a slow burner if they get the government contract for digital passports, since they already have the software, blockchain technology and already doing contracts in South Africa and the covid data in Scotland. My last one which could be massive is BRH, just waiting on sample test results but their covid test which if the results are right would mean they have the only global test which works in 2-5 minutes. Happy days ahead and thanks to CLP I managed to salvage my money back from the G3E mess.

Anyone spot the 2 x £700k buys around the 15:26 mark earlier - £1.4m in at 2.9p.

What a cliff hanger that last 30 minutes has put us!!!
3.4p and looking like it was about to burst through the top of my monitor...well worth the patience and counting down to an unusually exciting Friday and next week - been a very similar pattern with the shares for the last 3 days but popping champers in ice at 6:50am - cigar at the ready?????

Been worth the patience for over a 9 months with this little beauty - come on Fr-Fr-Fr-Friday!!!!!

Just a lovely quick addition to anybody who thinks the UK is just going to go back to normal in the summer; it's not. We will be like Asian countries monitoring Covid and any other variant which will be a sure fire bet being as we all live on a big round thing and without having closed borders everywhere, it finds a way to spread.

Testing is at the heart of evaluating how certain freedoms are going to be allowed / reviewed and when it comes to getting an entire country back on it's feet, the tests need to be fast and accurate where there are going to be crowds of certain capacities. This is where BRH like others will be the shining lights on getting not only the UK but the world back to business, safely.

Reading the roadmap information on the Government website, testing and tracing is going to be with us and in our lives for the next 10-20 years easily as it's the only way to monitor variant strains which if undetected, will collapse any countries economy, just like where we were at last year.

The roadmap is a very good indication on how testing is routed in allowing businesses to get back to work over the 4 stages, as through testing it allows the government to decide to either open or close businesses in different sectors as and when variants and outbreaks occur from scientific track and tracing.

The sheer volume of tests required to get the UK back to some kind of normal is going to be gigantic so when you are thinking of being twitchy on the sell button, think about how much testing is going to be needed over 10-20 years in this country and the world to keep businesses open.

Anyways, happy Thursday people and enjoy when that RNS drops regarding the test results.

3.6m tests weekly up to the current week going from Government figures, so 20m tests will just about take care of 5.5 weeks. Last time I looked, there are 52 weeks in a year, that's with ramping up mass testing of schools, festivals, exhibitions, sports events...

Mass testing is the only way international travel and leisure is going to keep another type of lockdown out of the countries, the faster, more accurate the better for every industry to attempt to get back to normal over the next 3-5 years. As per the vaccines, more than one company is going to need to supply huge volumes of effective, speedy test kits where large capacities of people will as we have all seen the scale of hospitality and sport - insurance and safety are going to be the key drivers - BRH will enhance that situation globally.

Very true, also announced both NVidia and AMD are both making a bitmining specific range of graphics cards but also putting bitmining restrictions on current and upcoming high end gaming graphics cards which is going to obviously cost bit mining companies much more money as I can well see that both graphics cards companies will add a premium onto the new bitmining dedicated graphics cards. The big question is: all of these companies like CPL who have yet to expand to set up serious bitmining farms are going to struggle to get the hardware unless working off slightly older or year old hardware which will be throttled down by the hardware makers in driver updates.

So right. You think of the scale of securely finding solutions to move all of the government public services to a more secure and safer way to digitally verify everyone in the UK (anything from Tax Claims, MOTs, Health Records, Passport information, Government Contracts, Council Tax, Birth and Death records...) this is a huge opportunity for CTEA. Easy one to invest in at this stage.

This is a gigantic contract on the table for CTEA, absolute bargain to lock in buys now.

So true vred, their IP alone if bought is worth an absolute fortune in a global sense, let alone across Europe. Definitely a keeper from what I've researched into with this. the patents and applications for the product alone are very bankable.

cheers Carpy! I've got a sneaky suspicion that Mercedes will eventually go back to supplying engines and feeding through their technology into Aston Martin F1 to be their luxury motorsport division. Easier to sell £2.5m Aston Martins than AMGs ;)

Looking at the long term, Mercedes will supply 3-4 teams with engines, allowing the development of hybrid engine technology to match up with the target goal of 2030. Allowing Tesla to go back to being a software and battery company.

So we get the F1 reveal for Aston Martin on the 3rd March at 3pm. All the threes and brings the new revolution of motorsports historic, number one luxury brand that little bit closer to starting line. The brand looks on point, the team news is in a very good place so start the countdown to race days and podiums! Oh and obviously doing a rather easy favour for the share price too!! ;)

2p or not 2p....

Very savvy business testing and running both lines to prove that full compensation + costs will be achieved and following H& guidelines. Slovenia signing another hefty cheque in the next few weeks!

Quality, not quantity ;)

Ah the joys of Fridays!! Looking at projections of waves this will be tipping 16-19p next Tuesday as the RNS update is very positive step forward to resolution of UK arm of Ascent getting a healthy compensation deal from Slovenia while they are still allowed to get gas back into production (albeit for Malta division) but the main compensation is for the set up costs plus losses on top for delays - this is looking to be dealt with now in a very clean way diplomatically and legally.

Steady advances of 12-18% per day easily as resolution is looking damn good.
Looking at Cuba, having the Nickel reserves would be a huge tick with the amount of next gen battery tech happening with Mercedes, Ford and Renault.

Cheers doyezee! I've been following Aston Martin for the last 2 years with their new phase of moving out of supercars to building more niche, hyper cars as there is a strong market for the uber rich wanting to own the best cars which are very limited. The DBX is akin to fashion houses making sunglasses so the brand gets exposure from the sports teams but it's the design house which is the most exciting strategy for Aston Martin, from collaborating with Bowmore Whiskey (https://www.thespiritsbusiness.com/2020/08/aston-martin-and-bowmore-bottle-db5-1964-whisky/) to designing luxury apartments (https://www.driving.co.uk/news/aston-martin-lays-foundations-luxury-property-project/) the brand is going to drive the company as the world's best luxury vehicle company in the world.

With Mercedes now invested and becoming an active partner, they now have one of the finest luxury brands to develop. Yes I have invested in this company, only because the F1 and Mercedes deal will be an excellent foundation for Aston Martin to be the number one luxury brand in motorsports. Also the Valkyrie is just going to be the start of where they are changing their ethos in design. The Valkyrie is the new DNA which will be fed into all of the new models they are developing and they look stunning, just like when they remodelled the DB7 yers ago and every car manufacturer tried to follow it's design cues.

Exciting times with F1, new Bond, all of the marketing is fitting into place for the boys in the midlands!

This is Mercedes strategy; nobody is going to buy a £2.6m Mercedes hyper car but as Aston Martin already has the heritage, they can easily sell Aston Martin to the super rich. Mercedes F1 is already gearing to just be a supplier of engines in the next 3 years since they have dominated the sport and can also develop the engine tech better across several teams. Aston Martin will be the luxury sports brand for Mercedes to move into, once the electric engine side is a level playing field, Tesla will lose their dominance in the market against the other established motor brands, especially now that Tesla is having to recall and repair a vast majority of their popular models (well, 2!!).

Aston Martin will always be an elite brand for the super rich, they will carry across the presence they had from GT and Le Mans into F1, knocking Ferrari off their perch as the best sport marque for supercars and hyper cars for the next 20 years.

Aston Martin the brand has a very definitive path over the next 5-10 years, secured Mercedes to push it's electric engine development without having to spend a fortune on R&D since Mercedes are already developing next gen hybrid drives now, add that to the way the brand is being pushed towards the super rich (£40k for a kid's version of a DB5 - on the website) to styling penthouse apartments in New York. 5 hyper cars to be launched in 2021-23 with a DBX range for the footballers who are looking to trade up the Bentley. With formula 1, the brand has heritage and a pretty damn team to mould into - will be a challenger in the next 3-4 years having a partner as strong as Mercedes (will be a serious contender), plus the Bond franchise to promote ASM around the world for years to come. Invest for the next 2-4 years, this brand is going to be the one to watch in the auto world.
