The 400k buys have started now. Haha, interesting watching who ever is loading this morning, Looks like the same entity to me with all those buys from 200-400k shares.

No worries, Guident is being talked about going live this year with the Florida control centre. Going to be so huge.

Yeah drops are manufactured. Clearing the placing shares and weak holders, there is big interest from some, plenty of 200-300k share buys this morning. Looks like someone taking a position.

Check the trades, someone is loading right up, how can this be down when we have all these big 200k orders going through. Maybe those orders are needing to be filled by weak sellers.

5. Auto Accident Rates Should Decline By Over 80%

Self-driving cars likely will have a dramatic impact on global health impacts. ARK expects auto accident rates to decline by over 80% as robots take the wheel from drunk and distracted drivers, as shown below. Globally, ARK expects 5.5 million deadly accidents will be avoided by 2035. In the U.S. alone, autonomous vehicles potentially will have saved a roughly a total of 140,000 lives by 2035, most of them in their 20s.

6. The Autonomous Mobility-As-A-Service Market Could Exceed $10 Trillion By The Early 2030s

ARK’s research shows that the global autonomous MaaS market will exceed $10 trillion in gross revenue by the early 2030s.[1] Roughly a third of those sales will happen in China.[2] In the United States, ARK expects the MaaS market to reach over $700 billion in sales by 2030, or roughly 30 times the size of the taxi industry today. The market for autonomous services should be roughly ten times the size of the market for autonomous vehicle hardware by 2030, as shown below.

7. ARK Thinks the Impact of Mobility-As-a-Service Is Underappreciated Today

ARK believes that investors may be undervaluing mobility-as-a-service today severely, and that in 5 years autonomous taxi networks could have a market cap of roughly $4 trillion. In comparison, the global automotive manufacturing industry probably will be roughly one third of that size. ARK expects autonomous mobility services alone will expand the total value of the $70 trillion equity market by 10%. The autonomous taxi market presents a massive growth opportunity for technology players or automakers that are able to piece together a successful autonomous strategy.

As I posted this one, the other post appeared! Sorry for the double, this one has more info.

Just posted this already this morning but the thread has disappeared. Will add more info to this one. I follow the research of various investment groups and Ark Investment has done some great research into the self driving car space. Here's a copy and paste of a few bits. Maybe the link was deleted by mods as its a sign up for a report link?? Anyway, if you search Ark Investment and self driving you will find it.

Highlights..

In a recent research report ARK illustrates that before 2020 fully autonomous vehicles could become commercially available, enabling the rise and rapid growth of autonomous taxi networks. These networks should decrease the cost and inconvenience of point-to-point mobility dramatically, spurring a transformative boost in economic productivity. As a result, the traditional automotive industry may be subsumed by mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) platforms that could become one of the most valuable investment opportunities in public equity markets. Here are seven takeaways for investors interested in the rise of self-driving cars;

1. Autonomous Taxis Should Reduce the Cost of Door-to-Door Mobility Radically

ARK estimates that autonomous taxis will cost consumers $0.35 cents per mile, or roughly half of the all-in cost car owners pay to drive today, thanks to much higher utilization rates. These compelling economics will drive widespread adoption of autonomous taxi networks.

2. Global Vehicle Miles Traveled Should Increase

ARK expects traffic to increase to almost three times today’s levels by 2030. Autonomous taxi platforms will allow the non-driving population, which includes the blind, elderly, and young teens, affordable and convenient transportation options. While traffic will likely increase, autonomous cars should operate more efficiently, and give passengers a more pleasant experience than just sitting behind the wheel.

3. ARK Believes Global Auto Sales Volumes Will Be Lower Than Anticipated

Autonomous cars will likely cause a shift away from personally owned vehicles, which will depress global auto sales volumes in the coming decades. ARK’s research shows that auto sales will fall by nearly half in developed markets while, in the developing world, long-term auto volumes will still increase, but at a rate much slower than expected today.

4. Autonomous Taxis Should Boost U.S. GDP

While a loss in future auto sales may seem like bad news for the economy, ARK predicts that self-driving cars will bring economic benefits worth roughly $120,000 in net present value over 15 years for every U.S. consumer that forgoes buying a personal car. Among these economic benefits, ARK sees additional service revenue, more discretionary time for passengers relieved of driving responsibilities, and higher capital returns from repurposing land used for parking lots. Indeed by 2035, ARK predicts that autonomous taxis will add more than $2 trillion to U.S. GDP, as shown below.

To discourage traders. Big spread makes it way harder for them to get a quick 10%. The fact BTC keeps determining the price, MM's clearly a bit nervy today so a bigger spread. 5% up with a 7% spread is basically 2% down! lol.

Silly low market cap for whats going on. Coiled spring the longer it goes on at these levels. Maybe still some placing clearing as a few large unknowns going through. Some nice 200k buys this morning also. A few people are loading!

The buyers have more cash than the sellers. Big buys, small sells. All i need to see.

To be fair, I think we may be seeing a shift in how the price behaves. Solid news like this won't go away, no spikes from the MM's, just steady rises with the odd pull back. I'd rather a steady rise over the next months than a spike and drop this week.

All this money printing is crazy, personally I think we are in currency wars. China prints loads, rest of the world's leading countries/banks follow and print more so theirs isn't devalued against China. Its just a cat and mouse chase of printing money.

I know US citizens who do not need any help, and they just keep getting money. This is not a good look for fiat and the monetary system. This is a good look for BTC.

Well worth a read. ARK investments are huge on future tech investments and their studies on self driving cars, taxi, vans etc is seriously good. This is one of the sectors to be in for the next ten years.

Guident looking to go live in Florida this year? This will be huge.

Some big buys have gone through. Mostly smaller sells clearing those who've been hear a while. Defo the spikes last year has put off some. Crazy AIM, rumour doing better than fact again.

I can understand frustration but I don't see the point in bad mouthing your investments. Not good for your investments in my mind.

You stated..

"Dilution of ownership to TekCapital shareholders from 100% to 72.5%."

From the last RNS

Tekcapital owns 97.2% of the share capital of Salarius Ltd. and 87.1% of its subsidiary, Microsalt, Inc.

, from a pure operating point of view the company lost $404,334 and achieved a profit by the underlying valuations of the companies being increased., by whom ?

By the raising of money. If you raise $500k for 10% that makes the whole worth £5m. Our investments are increasing in value by the raising. All early stage, if you don't want any dilution you can join in on the raises. TEK is an investment firm, this is the path I expected, timing is never quick enough for investors but for me I actually believe in a lot of these products TEK are backing.

Still under the radar for most. I'd say a lot on these boards haven't clocked what CTEA offer. Just look at the market caps for all other covid related companies, some have nothing on what CTEA offer. Struggle to find one with a market cap less than 50m. Bodes well for a good hold this year.

3.25p close Friday, Can't believe how low the market cap is. So obvious everything is being put in place for CTEA to benefit. You know lots of shares will have been bought by those in the know. Last weeks trades were very busy!

I can understand LTH if the entry was 50p being disappointed. I agree the salt contracts are taking way longer than i thought. However some of the stuff written here is utter BS. TEK isn't loss making nor have we reduced holdings as much as said. TEK is an investment company and investments take time. I'm way more confident in the BOD here than 95% of AIM companies.

Lets hope for some news to lift the spirits.

Off the same thoughts @Adam, blockchain will be far more secure. As far as conspiracy heads go, this isn't the microchip, its simply digitisation of paper certificates.

What is Cyber Essentials?

Cyber Essentials is a simple but effective, Government backed scheme that will help you to protect your organisation, whatever its size, against a whole range of the most common cyber attacks.

Cyber attacks come in many shapes and sizes, but the vast majority are very basic in nature, carried out by relatively unskilled individuals. They’re the digital equivalent of a thief trying your front door to see if it’s unlocked. Our advice is designed to prevent these attacks.

Research reduces risk. The last RNS has plenty of information to research. Here's what I've found. All makes for a seriously low market cap.

Taken from the Policy paper CTEA have been invited to "contributing from the perspective of a future identity service provider".

Copy and paste of the first few para's, link if you want to read more.

It has become increasingly important in this digital age to be able to establish trust, particularly online. This is the foundation thriving markets are built on. Having an agreed digital identity that you can use easily and universally will be the cornerstone of future economies.

There are times in day-to-day life when you may be asked to prove something about yourself to access a service or product. When buying alcohol you may need to prove you are over 18. When opening a bank account you need to certify who you are and where you live. When starting a new job you need to clear pre-employment screening.

This might be easy if you have a passport or driving licence and you are able to offer these face to face. At other times it can be difficult. You may not have recognised physical documents or may not be able to travel to prove you are who you say you are. Physical documents can also be stolen, falsified or misplaced. They can be expensive to replace and their loss can lead to identity theft and fraud.

This government is committed to solving these problems digitally and without the need for a national identity card.

Catenae is pleased also to announce that, further to an extensive review of the Company's organisational and security processes, the Company was awarded ISO 27001 following an audit on behalf of the International Standards Organisation (ISO). The Company was also awarded a Cyber Essentials accreditation. The Cyber Essentials scheme is operated on behalf of the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO/IEC_27001

ISO/IEC 27001 is an international standard on how to manage information security. The standard was originally published jointly by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) in 2005[1] and then revised in 2013.[2] It details requirements for establishing, implementing, maintaining and continually improving an information security management system (ISMS) – the aim of which is to help organizations make the information assets they hold more secure.[3] A European update of the standard was published in 2017.[4] Organizations that meet the standard's requirements can choose to be certified by an accredited certification body following successful completion of an audit.
