Re: Press Release To be fair, on the 19th, the day of the press release, the sp did jump from less than 36p to just under 40p. Not exactly a lack of reaction. I won't expect steady upward movement and increased volume until actual profit is announced - hopefully in April.
Re: Press Release I cannot see anything other than positives from this yet the sp languishes further.

Re: Tesla I agree totally. Let's hope Nanoco's technology is required. It's certainly sounds that way. 👍
Re: Tesla InfraRed sensors are going to be used for semi autonomous and autonomous vehicles, all car manufacturers are now entering both the electric market and getting serious about self driving. If you are interested in this you should also check out SEE who have been in industrial driver monitoring for years and have over the last few years moved into the automotive sector. The way vehicles work and are owned is changing (going to change) more than at anytime since we put engines in them.
Tesla With the car industry being mentioned I cant help thinking it may be Tesla that has chipped in. That Elon Musk guy seems to do no wrong. Just a thought. Please share your views. 🤔
Re: Encouraging ME Interview Very encouraging indeed.
Re: Encouraging ME Interview Thaks for posting Bunny. That interview makes me a bit more excited again and I was pretty excited already. This company seems finally to be moving into serious commercial play on different fronts.
Re: Takeover? I think the short term product roadmap is quite well known for Nanoco i network albeit subject to change. I'm sure there are lots of unannounced things. There are statements from the company that would lead us believe there are unspeficied products already out there using NANO's dots.Welcome aboard by the way.
Re: Takeover? A major factor in rolling out new tech, is any perceived risk of liability by the OEM 's insurers who might have to cover any call back claims or other potential harm. They can and do demand, to provide their cover, that any new product has minimal new tech that has not already been well tested over time in the"real world" market place. As new tech is the significant unique selling point that distinguishes itself for the end customer to choose it, this is an ongoing dilemma for the OEM. Limited company OEMs must do as their insurers demand, as part of their due diligence.The solution is to initially launch new tech in a limited specialist market, in an existing product that is already well market tested, except for the new tech element, to establish some testing history in the new world. A well known, albeit dated example of this, was Sony's Betamax, where it established itself with its broadcast customers, who still occasionally use it, while Philips established its VHS with Sony's competitors, who were fearful that Sony would deprive them of this market, and used more existing audio based tech. Fortunately NANO's tech is actually less sophisticated, more basic, and has more potential applications than video tape, and probably more longevity.Fortunately for NANO, the cadmium aspect of the current tech may help convince the insurers that this new tech may actually lower their risk. However, it is likely, in this risk adverse culture, to still require a limited market trail, as this is still, albeit probably much safer, is unknown, whereas the old tech, albeit has known dangers, IS known.The insurance industry makes its profits by making their customers bet against themselves; i.e. profiting from doubt, fear and mistrust, of not only their own products, but of their end customers, and the banks, government regulations, and consumer rights groups dictate this must be done this way.The first product therefore will most likely be very boring, but will require some guaranteed, albeit small market to assure the OEM and NANO it can get a proper test in the "real world" market.The way the insurance companies can make their best profits is to simultaneously highlight risks and exploit the resultant fear while actually eliminating as much product differentiation to actually eliminate actual risk. However without some innovation, there would be little perceived risk to justify their premiums.Although society often is critical of government regsulations, especially used as an argument by the pro-Brexit community, I think there is good evidence, albeit not disclosed, that the real culprits are the bastion of capitalism and the City, the insurance industry. Once true Brexit happens, and financial services wanting unrestricted access to the EU, they are likely to relocate much of The City activity to Frankfurt, Paris etc., and may perceive that the UK itself is a financial risk to take account of.Nikita Krushchev, in his speech at the UN (where/when he beat his shoe on the podium) said of the Capitalist world, "we shall end up burying you, and (and this bit is often left out of the quote) you will sell us the shovel for doing this."My capitalist contribution is that I bought 1000 shares of NANO yesterday.Michael
Re: Takeover? My guess is Apple AR glasses as they've done a lot of research into quantum dots recently and filed the patent for their new specs the same week as our RNS.
Re: Takeover? Morning NZ,As for hazarding a guess to what new product line NANO are looking to supply to, I'm sticking with 3D Glasses free 8K TV in some way or another.I mentioned a few days ago, StreamTV Networks, BOE to produce screens and a further look at Stream shows links to SeeCubic BV and their glasses free 3D launched under the trade name of 'Ultra D', although there is no direct link to NANO, I can't see NANO standing on the sidelines.Stream make the claim, ' 4K TVs and PC monitors are obsolete now that 8K panels have arrived,', If that is the case, NANO needs to be involved in some way or another to keep up with the changing demands of their customers for monitor screens etcs.Just my view. YB
Re: Takeover? Takeovers typically happen when companies of a similar type want to grow and are cash rich or are on good terms with the banks, i.e. they have proven cash flow/profits and can raise the capital. Nanoco's competitors are pretty much as cash strapped as we are and are in no position to make an offer. As for Apple or some other major it is highly unlikely as Nanoco would just be supplying one component of one line of products. Be a bit like BMW buying up the company that supplies them with wing mirrors. They may buy a stake in the company just so they can have a say in the companies future,Anyone hazard a guess at what new line of product Nanoco are looking to supply to. Anti forgery was my thinking but it's anyones guess.NZ
Re: Peel Hunt says buy Peel Hunt's last 67p reiterate was 8th February, not today...
Peel Hunt says buy Some profit taking inevitable after such a strong surge, but I see today Peet Hunt reiterates its buy note on Nano - and are standing by their 67p price target.
