glug, glug...hic...ahhhhhhhh."

how many of you schmucks just got sucker-punched?
No wonder this traded down so dramatically...
a big window of opportunity suddenly opened right up in front of all the traders for them to unhesitatingly jump straight through.
February 17th (Friday) it is then. ..or sooner even...hopefully.
From the RNS (06/01/2023)...
"Nanoco Group plc (LSE: NANO), a world leader in the development and manufacture of cadmium-free quantum dots and other specific nanomaterials emanating from its technology platform, announces that a term sheet for a no fault settlement of the current litigation has been agreed between Nanoco and Samsung (the "Parties")."
Rather lacking in detail this bit in retrospect: "a term sheet for a no fault settlement"(?)
Can someone explain then what happens to the intellectual property of Nanoco after (if a settlement is indeed forthcoming) the negotiations between both parties conclude with a mutually agreeable settlement?
By that I specifically mean: are the patents then null and void? and is the intellectual property (the technology that pertains to those patents) then freely available for anyone else to use?
Or is it just the case that Samsung are 'buying' the rights to that technology for them (Samsung) to solely use themselves?
Obviously Samsung (as per the proposed agreement stated in the following-on RNS to that of the 6th of Jan) will not have to pay any future royalties following a successful conclusion to the ongoing negotiations.
I have to agree with everything you have just commented on, AngerSharkz.
is the fact that if we, as investors, are to make even a decent bit of a return on our investment...we need more than just enough oil and gas to pay the bills, drill more holes and keep the lights on. In other words: discover enough oil and gas to make this a viable commercial enterprise.
So far...it isn't...simple as that.
Ten out of ten for endeavour and positivity...but that won't keep paying the bills.
An out and out punt...and therefore should be regarded, as far as investing goes, with extreme caution...not something you keep doubling down on.
Thanks for the link, OliGarch. I have written extensively on here about R.M going back to using the railways to once again deliver far greater volumes of mail...it is undoubtedly the way forward regarding the future...and my utter conviction that Thompson and the present Board thinks so also.
Regarding Kretinsky. AngerSharkz, I think Kretinsky's last buy was at £2.06...perhaps he has bought more this week? More than likely he has been waiting till the parlimentary select committee had performed their lynching.
and not even an union update. Surprised by that.
Surprised about a lot of things...especially Kretinsky. He is certainly keeping his head down at the moment that is for sure.
its all getting rather encouraging.
and that always was the very best that anyone could honestly ever say concerning Block Energy.
You guys have not called it right once here.
Tip of the day: don't plow anymore of your hard-earned into this out and out gamble...because thats all it ever was: an out and out gamble.
Looks like we might have finally arrived (fingers crossed)...at the bottom that is.
Sold 45% of my stock when it hit 33 pence a while back...wish I had dumped the lot now.
Looking at the charts...we are now back at pre-pandemic levels; which is broadly in line with most other growth stocks.
Might be a long time before we see the dizzy heights of 33 pence again.
And my best guess...Nanoco receive £35-50 million.
regarding all these ridiculous calculations - tosh!
Not one word of credible sense written here, regarding possible damages, since the dismal appearance of that last RNS.
A small, insignificant little unit like Nanoco struggling to make ends meet in an unimportant, out-of-sight backwater like Runcorn awarded £350,000,000 even? Or dollars come to that.
I just cannot imagine any Judge in any court awarding those sort of damages to a company that very few people have even heard off before this case...including the Judge I might also suggest. This, afterall, is Nanoco...not the mighty Apple.
But I suppose we can all dream. Good night everyone...and much obliged.
Select committee meeting won't gain much leverage for the CWU.
Thompson might have to eat a little dirt...might well get bashed up by Big Dave...humiliated even...to a certain extent. But this sideshow circus won't effect the outcome in the longer term.
The old R.M the posties have enjoyed for the last 30-40 years is gone. And gone forever! And if Thompson cannot make them understand this...then Kretinsky most certainly will.
Change is inevitable in all things...it is the way of the universe. The one, and only one, great immutable truth: all things do continually change. And yes...that even applies to the CWU. They just don't know it yet.
regarding damages from.
Blue-Cheese bud perhaps?
A billion pounds damages? Are you lot really serious? £1,000,000,000? One thousand million pounds?
Pass the Dutchie on the left handside, down here, mucker, will you, please?
1. The parlimentary hearing...a lot of hot air amounting to zilch. No advantage whatsoever to the CWU. Doubt if the present government gives a flying f..k myself.
2. The negotiations not yet concluded...or abandoned. CWU have obtained a few concessions...but so what? Nothing that R.M cannot throw aside at a later date; and nothing that D.K won't throw aside if he does actually acquire the company.
3. Investors meeting to be hosted by the CWU on the 23rd (think this is the date...but stand to be corrected). This is what I have been long waiting for...in truth, I am really quite fascinated to see how this is all going to play out; and any reaction by the biggest investors after the event, if any, should be interesting. Is anyone of any note really that interested I wonder?
4. Share price seems to be holding up...to my great surprise. Someone must be liking what they hear.
5. Kretinsky still not increased his stock holding from his last buy in December...I find that surprising. Perhaps he is waiting for the outcome of these present talks?
But things won't remain in the status quo much longer. The next couple of months are going to get quite intense, methinks.
Complete rot...sadly.
I think its fair to say that nobody has the slightest clue regarding what the damages might amount to.
Personally speaking...I will be very surprised indeed (and please let me be wrong) if the damages finally received for Nanoco exceed 50 million.
Very happy to be very wrong of course...hopefully.
I don't have one (its purely guess work). Do you have a figure in mind?
Any thoughts anyone on what the middle and higher settlements could be for the 'lower end' damages.
