Looking at the delayed trades from 10/11, the trade at 16:22 of 750k shares was a buy. The 500k trade, I can't be sure......
GLA
there it is, I got the time wrong, 09:47. D'oh.

I'm into 7 figures in various accounts, mostly SIPPs etc. The potential, the graphene, the cash, it all adds up to a very bright future.
GLA
Another 100k. Silly price given the potential, the cash at hand, the world waking up to renewables and the US election all but sorted. It will probably be delayed from 9:48 am, but it's deffo a buy :-)

241,000 showing as sells, which were actually buys.
And a reminder from the Paragraf website for the newbies to VDTK.......
"Traditional solar cells have effectively reached their maximum level of efficiency, at around 23-24%. Improvements of <0.5% are considered highly significant. Performance is constrained by the metal mesh used to disperse current across the cell, and protect it from damage. The shading effect of the mesh prevents around 3% of the surface area from absorbing light.
Depositing optically transparent, highly conductive graphene directly onto the solar cell surface facilitates current dispersal and eliminates shading. In principle, this will improve solar cell efficiency by 3%. Paragraf is working in partnership with Verditek, which is supplying solar cells for graphene deposition. A project to prove the principle has been completed, and a further Joint Development Partnership has now been agreed to advance the technology for the first large-scale graphene silicon solar cell."

Why Australia is going to be an important market for VDTK. Large scale solar farms are not really their sector, but it gives an indication of how important renewables are considered in Oz. Government subsidies for companies adopting and fitting renewable energy generation systems, and large resource explorers/producers starting to gear up towards meeting targets signed up to as part of PA2050, makes Australia a very important part of the VDTK expansion story.

VDTK has continued to pursue an increasing range of opportunities as well as fulfilling orders already received. Manufacturing plant in Lainate is improving production capability.
We expect further announcements in the near future as we convert our pipeline of opportunities.
was subsequently cancelled.
With what this company has going for it, this is an ABSOLUTE BARGAIN !
I expect to see this at least double this price in the New year.
Good luck all decent, non-shorting, holders.
Just had to have another 100k..... rude not to. Massive potential, solid platform, Paragraf update at some point, trials ongoing, very quick CR and Unicorn onboard........
GLA
I'm not sure that they need to say "first pour before Christmas" yet again ! I think they've done that to death. As for the directors selling, any number of reasons.... tax write-offs, buying property, taking advantage of the options for quick cash, a secret pact. Who knows...... It was slightly worrying, but my fear has gone.
I wonder if it's because there is only 10 weeks left of 2020 and it would be much more likely that the company would reach following year targets over a 52 week period than during what is essentially ramp up in the remaining 10 weeks of '20. I'm still confident that more contracts will be won this year though.

It's interesting, because in Oz, there is news every day on every platform about the growth of renewable energy. Especially in WA where there is no COVID other than POMS coming back to Perth and have tested positive in hotel quarantine. It's a polar opposite to the UK and I agree, it's one of the most pressing issues that we face currently. I believe that's why Australia is a vital market to break into and combined with a federal government rebate program to businesses adopting renewable energy generation systems, as below, it should lead to some pretty decent contracts.
"On 12 March 2020, the federal government announced a $17.6bn economic stimulus package to help Australians deal with the challenges posed by the coronavirus.
The business investment component of this package comprises of two tax incentives designed to stimulate growth – both these apply to the purchase of solar power systems:
An increase in the instant asset write off threshold from $30,000 to $150,000
Effective immediately and continuing to June 30, 2020
Equivalent to $45,000 in tax credit* on a $150,000 solar PV system.
For businesses with a turnover of less than $500 million
2. Accelerated depreciation deductions
Deduct an additional 50 per cent of the asset cost in the year of purchase.
Available now through to June 30, 2021
For businesses with a turnover of less than $500 million
*Based on a 30% company tax rate. Customers should seek their own accounting and financial advice."

It has it stated at the bottom of each page.... However, that doesn't detract from the thorough and exciting content :-)
