Nanoco has some very desirable IP, and numerous companies wanting it, but only a few that would spend the money needed to acquire our IP £20m on the new facilities for starters, and the rest for the ip and current technologies for the new oled tv technology. And the many other uses for nanoco,s technologies, the company is very desirable to these suitors, and the expertise within nanoco, it would make a fantastic bolt -on for any of our suitors, the takeout price could easily be any multiple of today's current SP.

Just keep a eye on that Coronavirus, and all the latest information around it !!. If China gets replicated in the uk then our high streets will get badly hit along with the airlines, I hope and pray it doesn’t spread anymore and they get a cure very quickly, if they can treat Ebola then this should be like a flu jab for everyone, though time is crucial here. And it’s spreading without any noticeable initial symptoms, The uk government should be in a
Serious warning stage of this virus, and seriously restrict incoming human traffic.
I’m only thinking out loud here guys, China’s high streets are nearly empty!!!
Just weigh up the risk here. And invest wisely.
GLA

Soupchicken you could be right,

If it came to the uk, !!! What would be the first impact -----fear of catching the virus , that always translates into a reduction in footfall on the high street, one mention of salmonella in the eggs industry by Edwina curry destroyed the egg industry for a long time.
Fear keeps people away. Thus my vigilance around this virus and any knock on effect with footfall on the high street.
This virus is only getting started, so let's hope it disappears very quickly. Card factory couldn't withstand any substantial drop in footfall on the high street , if we were in China we would struggle badly. Keep it out of the uk at all cost.
Dyor,

Maucha your absolutely correct, I would rather be honest posting here, than to completely ignore a potential threat to card factory’s high streets footfall, this corona virus could indeed blow over to
Nothing to worry about, though the world’s health bodies are currently deciding whether to call a major
Worldwide health alert on this corona virus.
I’m just going on my instincts after watching that Chinese newscaster speak about the huge drop in footfall in there cities.
If it fizzes out , I can always jump back into card factory again, Better being safe than sorry.
My judgement comes from =watch what’s happening on the ground. / China /= number of deaths to contaminated victims. People naturally become wary/ scared , and that always translates into a reduction in footfall in that contaminated area.
So replicated in the uk = that would have a serious impact on a already under pressure high street footfall.
As I said, I hope I’m completely and massively wrong here, and that virus doesn’t get to the uk or Europe, though that’s a big asked of this virus. !!!
China’s a perfect place to see how it spreads, and every medical body will be right now be working on a treatment plan for this virus.
If it spreads like a flu , it’s going to kill a awful lot of people. Maybe I should invest in dignity funeral services PLC .
GLA. DYOR

Sold out at 90p ,why ? I’m watching this corona virus spread in China, and kill a high enough percentage of it victims, the Chinese news is carrying concerning stories about the footfall on the high streets has dropped substantially!! And in some markets which are normally full for the Chinese New Year etc, are totally empty,
Now if that gets replicated in the uk or anywhere else around the world it will have a knock on effect everywhere. If the footfall was to drop anymore for card Factory then that could be a fatal blow, I’m just going by the news reports from China, and this thing is only getting started ,
I hope I’m completely and spectacularly wrong here. Though
The second I seen the Chinese report I thought what if that gets replicated on our high streets,
It all could just pass like the Ebola scare, or spread like the common cold and flu ? !!!
Well very reluctantly I’m out for a while . For me it was scary to here them newscasters speak about the high streets empty because of the corona virus in China.
DYOR PLEASE

Card factory is dropping today because of the reports around the high street’s terrible footfall, investors chronicle is also putting this out there in today’s edition, beales ? collapse into administration won’t help matters, The high Street is being hit by numerous factors/ the terrible financial crash of 2008, the high street never really recovered from that , people buying online, the severe cutting of billions of £ disability benefits, disabled people spend substantial amounts of money on the high street , and the concern and confusion around the brexit nightmare.
Card factory can withstand the current drop of footfall on the high street. And even thrive after the other poorly run shops fail.
What excites me about card factory is the innovative measures the management are implementing to increase profits, albeit slowing or stopping the drop in profits, that really impresses me.
To sell in matalan, Aldi, reject shop in Australia, this initiative could really pay of in the next few years, what other countries and shops might we sign up ?
What if we completely supply a equivalent in store own factory outlet inside say the likes of Walmart,
And we make and supply everything. That’s possible, no cannibalisation of our own existing stores, and we take a slice of the pie. We have the expertise to deliver here.
I would expect a weakening of our SP until the next update around all the new upcoming initiatives in April. Even if the dividend is halved, it’s still a great long term bet on a great high street chain. And probable cut to 5% dividend. That’s excellent in my view. DYOR, and buyer beware.
GLA

I Genuinely was speaking to a card factory shop manager yesterday, in carrickfergus northern Ireland , she assured me that the two shops she works in are hitting all there weekly targets, she says the trade after Xmas is better than before xmas, that surprised me !!!.
She said the whole shop was automated/ stocking and all her wage slips can be viewed online now, she said it was brilliant.
It was saving staff time and money ordering stock, the new boss David cutts was hired in to run the new IT systems, and to implement a new business infrastructure transformation that supports and manage the new long term strategy.
The store manager seemed very enthusiastic and positive about the trading in her stores,
I feel card factory could regain some lost ground in the next few years and in turn also increase its share price.
The high street is very difficult right now / blood bath for some retailers, though I believe card factory will get through this ok , and come out the other side the best card retailer in the country.
Why do I now invest in this under pressure company ? Because it's the only place I and my whole family buy any type of card.
It has the best value and offerings of the card retailers.
GLA.

Card factory can benefit from the closing of other card shops, the high street is closing and crippling our competitors , I’m in at 95p , I’m backing a good management, and a vertical integrated and well run business,
I suspect card factory might try and really take on moonpig.com ? With optional collection at stores for anything else, the government and councils will try to lift the footfall on the high street, that should benefit our sales, card factory is the only card shop i personally will use, the others feel like a rip off, when the competition have closed, we can put our prices up a little, and that translates into 10s of millions of extra revenue. The BOD in my opinion are trying and doing everything possible to halt the decline in profits, most of the problems our out of there control. So selling Cards and sharing profits with 3 rd parties is a fantastic idea. The new initiatives and strategies could even be better when eventually rolled out, fortunately I got out of a AIM company before its crash, and into this after its crash , let’s hope my luck holds up, though I’m in this for 3/5 years , card factory is the best in its class. In a understandable unloved sector . Even if the dividend gets halved, it’s still a nice little very long term money spinner . GLA

High risk high reward here ok. A volatile country at the moment.

Arturodeldia = God almighty is there no end to these mindless online investor forum trolls . They post when they can't even be bothered to bring anything of interest to other fum investors, except to complain about other posters who defend the share they actually own, mental or what.

GLA

Hawkhead= jonah333 and NRD27 BOTH coincidently join on the exact same day, boys or what.

Brains 0007 who do you see yourself as mate James Bond , have you come to rescue the LSE forum, Hawkhead has been posting garbage using bot fake accounts to post ,and causing mayhem on here for numerous months now, you didn't stop him ,and now your coming on here attacking me, seriously mate get lost or get a life over move to another fum forum. There's been enough hypocrites on here today, seriously special agent 007 , get lost. No one needs a intermittent nonsensical poster like you on here. Go and find someone else to try and bully, because it won't be me mate.

It's been a fantastic week , hopefully we can have plenty more like this one.

Good luck ALL

Daringinvestor I'm not to sure if we have a definite royalty rate yet, as that would be part of our licencing negotiations or not , but in saying that liberums share price targets have to be based on some kind of royalty rate, so maybe it's a biotech sector's minimum average royalty rate, maybe one royalty rate after a 2nd trial result, and another after our 3rd trial, and that's the reason we pushed ahead paying for our own 3rd trial, / 50% increase in value for our med gel. I'm just guessing here , but food thought.
Good Luck All.

Happy Xmas to hawkhead/ jonah333

Jonah333 / hawkhead your the one person, the thing about people who tell lies , is they have a need to let others know the truth about them, and the truth slips out in different places if you know were to look, in your previous post you literally told me who you were at different parts in your post, and that was the part of your unconscious mind telling me the truth, I’ve explained this to my family, and on every occasion I’ve been right, it’s just a strange human trait, you’re hawkhead ok, 100% I’m in no doubt whatsoever.

Nrd27 ahh at last the penny drops, it nearing Xmas and I’m banging on about everyone being kind to each other for days, and after that I get attacked non stop LOL PMSL.
Yes let’s lift each other up not tear each other apart.
Can I say I’m 100% confident about having a great Xmas, or would that offend some posters LOL
if anyone wishes to post, then get posting , it’s free and there’s nothing to stop anyone posting as much as they want, or is someone saying that’s not allowed, the iii board use to be buzzing every single day with post, but look at it now, I accept that others need to post more on here, and I need to take a back seat more, it’s extremely difficult when de-rampers rip the confidence out of our shareholders and forum, that’s my point. so In staid of lambasting me go for the non stop de-rampers not me, I’m a share owning fumster LOL

GLA

Hawkhead you disappeared for a week and in that time you hatched a we plan to create and use multiple accounts to lambast me, WOW now that’s perseverance for you, and all these accounts were just recently opened up , and when I blew your cover now in 3 of them you’ve only today decided to use your other bot accounts , and as usual you have some truth in your post ok, and you’ve definitely succeeded I bringing me down to your level and consistent past phrasing of STFU ETC, and making me look like a rude cursing mental case like yourself, well planned and executed hawkhead and you’re bot accounts have served you well, if enough people say you’re the problem others will think the same way, so you’ve succeeded very well there, yes there are some others who are genuinely annoyed at me ok , but mainly because of how you’ve caused me to behave, would I be on here so much if I was defending Fum or counteracting your strong sell post, absolutely not, I’m more than happy for people to post either for or against Fum , but in a respectful way to others,

As you can see in my very respectful post around Xmas etc, and yet these bot post come out of newly formed accounts, that speaks for itself,
Enough said, guys make your own minds up, I have never ever been disrespectful to anyone who wasn’t just attacking me for no reason other than wanting to cause mayhem on this forum.

Good luck all, It’s been a fantastic week for Fum .

Volume nearing 1.8m so far today, Fantastic volume in a we biotech, the interest is substantial in our proposition to the market, If this buying and interest keeps up surly we must jump to a much higher level, I’m 100% confident in our med gels ability to treat a huge proportion of ED suffers ,
Though if we increase our med gels efficacy , then it’s a completely different ball game. and rip up Liberums target price of £1.37p .

A great couple of trading days, more please, LOL

GOOD LUCK ALL

Tombi1 there's plenty out there like that, though he that cast the first stone etc, I'm mindful of that, we all have flaws, and nobodies perfect. Unless you walk a mile in another man's shoes, don't cast judgement on him, but if you do, at least you've got his shoes and your a mile away from him, LOL.

Good Luck All

4x50000 buys, that's got to be someone in the know, more please. are we watching insider dealing or just PEOPLE buying from a enthusiastic smiling nod from a insider. We'll see very soon.

Good luck ALL

Jonah 333 / hawkhead check your own post again you didn't say approximately you said about 6 months ago,
I have to justify myself to you from your rant and you say now you don't have to justify yourself to me then , does that sound fair,LOL.
You say you've never invested before but you ploughed approximately £30k with your 2 other so called mates totalling £100k investment into fum because a mate mentioned it to you. Really . That's some faith to have in a mate, but you didn't mention if your so called mate bought the shares himself ? Or how much , !!! Or did he exist at all .

I noticed your attacking mode has now went into a little boy lost mode hawkhead, because you've exposed your true self with that nasty negative leek out, I told you before that would always happen, your phrases and words and negative tones will eventually rise to the surface .
to other posters read his explosive post at me below and compare it to his last t below me , and see the change in tactics,

Hawkhead your really going to have to do better than that , the poster PJ100 fled the iii forum after a long battle on there, but is easily identifiable on the adv forum after coming back when our share price has risen above what he originally paid, and Lord and behold he is still plying the same old argument that he tormented aberdeen investor with and many many others with, though aberdeen/ our own daringinvestor, was completely correct and right in all those arguments, it's nearly impossible to avoid these things on these forums if your passionate about your beliefs.

So hawkhead/ Zwartkops/and then back to Hawkhead and then Jonah 333 what are we to do with you man ?
It's nearing Xmas and I Genuinely don't want anyone upset or feeling down at this time of year, so please can we be respectful to each other, and show some kindness compassion empathy to our fellow man/ woman. And get back to looking at the merits of fums trading prospects. Please.
Good luck all
