Buying shares?

Not anything new in the above comment as deals have been expected for years but the CPX BB's seem to be waking up a bit and CPX are still 'alive' and presenting in public ( http://knoe.membercenter.worldnow.c...nual-detroit-battery-seminar-in-february-2015 ) so one hopes that a deal will come sooner rather than later. A 10p target on a deal would seem rather 'conservative' to me. If the technology is validated and about to go into commercial production then the Company becomes a direct comparitor to US based and Nasdaq listed Maxwell Tech which would imply a valuation of something more like 100p is in order.

So weren't you the one sermonizing me about working with Americans for a few extra dollars?

How does it feel making money from speculation, trading on American owned platforms like Nasdaq, buying shares in American owned and run companies?

DTechEx are hosting a free webinar on Monday 26 January 2015 discussing the progress surrounding supercapacitor penetration. Jan 23, 2015 IDTechEx are hosting a free webinar on Monday 26 January 2015 discussing the progress surrounding supercapacitor penetration.

Webinar Title: Supercapacitors Market Penetration: Progress
Date: Monday 26 January
Presenter: Dr Peter Harrop, Chairman, IDTechEx

This webinar will present an overview of IDTechEx's latest analysis of the state of technology development and adoption of supercapacitor technology. We will discuss the capabilities of supercapacitors in different applications in the automotive industry namely stop start applications and mild hybrid cars. In the further electric vehicle space we will discuss the role of supercapacitors in industrial machines and marine vessels. Finally we will provide insights on the role of supercapacitors as grid energy storage technology.

In this webinar you will learn the following:
• What is the role of supercapacitors in the energy storage technologies space.7
• What applications are already using supercapacitors in the automotive sector.
• What is the role of supercapacitors in other vehicle and machine segments.
• Why supercapacitors have a strategic role as grid energy storage technology.
 
So weren't you the one sermonizing me about working with Americans for a few extra dollars?

How does it feel making money from speculation, trading on American owned platforms like Nasdaq, buying shares in American owned and run companies?

CPX is listed in London. Perhaps read something carefully before commenting?
 
s28 - what you make of Afren?

Flybe reported disappointing news today with lower passenger numbers. 1 year into the 3 year re-structure. Poor guys are on the wrong side of an oil hedge as well.
 
AFR a complete disaster. Reading some stuff now about it there were Broker reports basically saying it was the most geared oil play in London. unfortunately with the oil price going down so much so quickly that leverage has unfortunately 'worked'

Shareholders could have made a lot of money in a good oil price environment but unfortunately the other side of the coin is they lose the whole company if the oil price goes too low and the debt holders take over the Company at expense of equity holders.

There has also been alledgedly some Corporate corruption seemingly going on with the ex CEO and CFO being given the boot for supposed backhanders.

At the end of the day it is a Nigerian oiler so at lot of these issues should have been expected. I always avoided it myself because I felt they were too keen to dilute shareholders in order to build an empire for the aggrandisement of the Management and Board.
 
CPX looks like someone is throwing the towel in and doesn't care what price they get out at !

Big volume spike.

I have bought more though it feels silly to average down the relative value versus other stocks in my portfolio makes it too compelling down here. Mkt Cap is only circa £2m and it's nearest quoted comparitor is valued at over £200m
 
CPX today is 1.7p to buy. IPO at about 100p in 2006. Had a placing in recent memory at 30p. Management bought in a placing last year at 5.5p and have options exercisable at 8.5p.

Even in March 2009 when people really did think the World was about to end it only went down to 15p

What a complete and utter shambles AFR. £1.6 billion mcap wiped out by corrupt board. How they are not in jail is beyond me. I suppose the warning signs were always there..... asians + nigerians!
 
Really hope OXS win against the corrupt kleptocrats of Uzbekistan dictatorship. Hopefully will send a message to Bangladesh on GCM.
 
You've got a bargain there !
mkt cap sub £2m
accumulated tax losses of c.$100m
mkt cap of direct comparitor $250m+
had a major JV investment from Apple's major capacitor supplier Murata
previously had VC investment from Intel
Directors bought in 5.5p placing last year and have options at 8.5p
targetting two massive markets in Auto sector and Mobile sector providing innovation we would all be happy to pay for ... longer battery life and quicker charging

begs the question which idiot is dumping at this price !
 
CPX - a lot of interest created by the overhang play now but a lot of these traders seem to have no idea so I doubt they will hold long term

www.discussthemarket.com/company/cpx/stream/

just to address some of the debate there

how can they fund product development for Apple ?

They have historic tax losses of $100m. Were previously funded by Intel and more recently Murata the multi-billion dollar Japanese leader in capacitors who came to Cap-XX for supercapacitor tech and are a major Apple supplier.

why hasn't any deal with Apple been announced ?

Apple never announce what products they are including in their new tech. Likes of CSR (bluetooth), Wolfson (audio digital/analog processor) have never been announced they had to keep their mouth shut because Apple would sack them if they publicised it and thus gave Apple competitors a chance to copy Apple products. That is why there is a thriving industry in providing 'tear-downs' of Apple products as soon as they are released so people can work out who supplied what. Small supplier companies who go against the Apple machine get destroyed. Sometimes products from other companies even get rebranded as Apple products inside so as to stop the 'tear down' revealing information.
 
How long before Apple do an Apple Car ?

CPX - incredible

Been waiting 5 years for a 'auto' contract and they sign an interesting MOU with a TIER 1 auto component supplier in the US and the stock gets hammered !

Mutually Exclusive - now why would a Tier 1 supplier to likes of presumably Ford or GM etc tie themselves up exclusively ? Unless they have been told to by their end customers or they think the potential is so great they won't need to go anywhere else ? AND why would CPX agree to it , surely they would want to keep these guys honest by having some competitive tension but they seem happy to be exclusive as well which surely would only be if they include some stipulated minimum volume take-off in any eventual licence if indeed it is signed. That is the other point to make that at this stage a MoU is really just an intention and not agreement to work together so still not what the market wanted. Also no figures attached so hard to scope the potential

However to my mind this is serious validation and puts CPX now as a serious contender to Nasdaq listed Maxwell ($250m+)

No idea why the stock hasn't gone up except for this darned overhang.
 
Finally i've been going on about APPLE potential for years here ... well in amongst a list of some of the simply massive companies they listed as partners i.e. Roche , Nike etc they mentioned a few with very very strong direct links to Apple on proposed energy harvesting products (Nike - Apple) OR links which sound plausible given Apple Watch talk about energy harvesting/wireless charging (Powercast)

So I am more convinced than ever that at some point these guys will hit the motherlode.
 
And really finally... some geezer called Jackie called up the CEO to bend his ear about the share price and get some more 'colour' on todays announcement. All sounds good. Funding shouldn't be an issue i.e. placing etc and the overhang looks to be being caused by some idiot at Henderson.

https://www.discussthemarket.com/company/cpx/stream/1/
 
Unfortunately these Institutions are a law unto themselves and if a position becomes meaningless to them either due to size/performance or risk management rules on liquidity or change of manager or redemptions they will just dump at whatever price they can get. IT's not worth them losing their job/livelihood by acting on inside information so that is unlikely.
 

OXS breaking out big time by looks of things.

Scary stuff this one. Either worth 0p or multiples of the current price. I'm hoping with my GCM hat on that OXS will win and then GCM can hire OXS's legal and funding partners and take Bangladesh Government to court for 'creeping expropriation' or 'breach of contract'

Good News Another short conversation with CEO gives a better view of things Re - Tax rebate instalment was payed in oct and a final instalment was due also . How much ? No answer Seller ? Pretty sure they are out we will release that in a RNS form When ask about a further progress from the last update to now ? Answer - This has been one of our busiest week we have had for the past 2 years , Meetings and a great responce from the automotive OEMs and battery manufacturers who have up to now been testing samples want to take the next step further which will be the final pieces lets hope
 
Too many advocates for speculation/gambling on this thread.

Invest in index funds, they are probably the safest investments you can make. Divide your portfolio between bond and equity index funds, make regular contributions, and simply hold until you absolutely need the money. The funds will provide a rate of return equivalent to the market, and the magic of compound interest will take care of the rest. No need to do any guesswork about which securities will be hot next and risk losing all of your money.
 
I think most of the long term seasoned contributors to this thread have pointed out time and time again the virtues of diversification and only investing what you can afford to lose. Most people who do 'risk losing it all' tend to do so via highly leveraged trading using spread-betting which is certainly not encouraged here.
 
Tesla is back to 216. Is it a good stock to own thinking long term (10-15 years?)
I'm 100% sure that electric cars are the future and Tesla will have a lead role in luxury market as well as mainstream market. Not to mention its patents and head-start advantage.

Thinking about buying AAPL once it comes back to around 100. Can APPL continue the pwnage after the World RECORD ($18B) last quarter? personally i don't think that Apple Watch will be a success. But i don't wanna second guess Apple and mental prowess (or lack) of sheeple. But Apple Pay is a sure win.

Crude Oil (WTI) is at $50. It went to $36 in 08 crash. I was thinking the floor this time is $40, but it stopped at $43. Is it still a buy or wait at $50?

Want pp'ers opinion, especially [MENTION=107620]s28[/MENTION] (although I strongly disapprove of his sig :yk)
 
Heh heh

Interesting you mention TSLA and Apple in the same post... given this news...

"Apple employee: We're working on something that will 'give Tesla a run for its money'"

http://uk.businessinsider.com/apple-employee-well-give-tesla-a-run-for-its-money-2015-2

If Apple came out with a car given their ability to build tech gadgets which appeal to consumers then they would rapidly takeover the market i reckon.

How much of Apples existing valuation discounts that they could become the biggest car maker in the World ? How much of Tesla's valuation already assumes that they are going to be only successful electric car company ?

If oil prices are going to be at a new low price equilibrium will that destroy the perceived 'economic' advantages of an electric car if not the 'green' credentials ?
 
The oil price has been manipulated by Saudi to put the U.S. shale exploration out of business, as well as destabilising Russia. And it's working with leased shale exploration equipment down by 32% in the last quarter.

Saudi is losing $300m A DAY in lost revenue at the current price, but they can continue to do so as they have reserves of $900bn. In addition, their cost of extracting is only $2pb.

Will this continue? Possibly, but Saudi and OPEC have been muscle flexing and trying to put the rival shale guys out of business while in its infancy period. They're not too far in achieving that, and so I think we'll see a return to $80pb by summer.
 
I can see why the Saudis would do what they are doing the problem is measuring how long they will do it for

If some think it will be for a short period it isn't a 'credible threat' and supply infrastructure will be maintained. The Saudis thus need to demonstrate that they will maintain their strangle for an indefinite period until some of that infrastructure is permanently destroyed.
 
I think it was muscle flexing, and the threat seems to have worked.

Shale drilling is currently mostly undertaken by highly-leveraged small caps, and they dont have cash mountains to subsidise the operation. While cost of drilling is low, the prices for hiring equipment is very high. And since this is opex rather than capex, these companies are running out of cash especially with the current oil price and over-supply in the market.

So, yes, I agree that some more pain may be forthcoming in the short-term but I think the shale revolution may well already be doomed.

My opinion is that you're just speculating. Any time you find yourself predicting what will rise in the future, you're likely erring. Think back to the dot-com bubble. Tech stocks were the future, and money was easy. If you weren't investing in tech, by all accounts you were a fool...until the industry collapsed and stocks like Amazon dropped to 1/10th of their value. Be smart, invest in index funds, and get the market returns. Don't try to beat the market, you will almost always fail in the long run. Index funds are highly diversified and cost efficient securities and have historically outperformed 80% of actively managed funds. They're also very easy to manage. I only adjust my portfolio twice a year, and don't have to worry about day-to-day market trends or the constant question about which stock to buy/sell. Split your portfolio between index funds of different asset classes like bonds, international equity, large cap equity, mid cap equity, and small cap equity for maximum diversification. As you age, put more and more into bonds. You will do better than the vast majority of investors in the long term with this simple strategy.

If anyone is interested in adopting a sensible investing philosophy, I suggest you read "Bogleheads Guide to Investing" or "A Random Walk Down Wall Street." Both are excellent, easy to read books that cover everything you need to know.
 
CPX - announce a joint broker today

Usually a bad sign in my experience as it suggests their current broker can't get them a placing away so they need to access the client list of another broker. IT would beggar belief for the Management/Board to allow this situation to occur having floated the Company at 100p to place at the current 1p having expended over $100m of capital. I can only surmise that the Institutional selling in recent weeks has been those Institutions voting with their feet as they would probably have wanted the Management if not the Board sacked for such failure in what is a huge growth market where they are on the cusp of supposedly great things and have previously awarded themselves options vesting at 8p

Despite the crap management I'm sticking with it (because even if there is huge dilution here the upside potential remains huge) but will be making my views known to them and their advisers.

I suspect no matter how good their technology their prospective partners want them to have a strong enough balance sheet to give them faith they will remain in business long enough to supply them ! The failure to plan for this and to access other non-dilutive capital on the part of the Management/Board should really see them sacked. Unfortunately such activism is anathema to Institutions so rather than agitate for change or call out the Board publically they will simply sell at whatever price. One hopes once the overhang is cleared some news can be released to improve the price and get a placing away at a better price.
 
Just did a google of 'Joint Broker Allenby' and it actually comes up with some quite interesting companies (Halosource HALO and Cluff Natural CLNR) so I am just wondering if Allenby have a particular broker or banker who has specialism in Clean Tech banking / advisory which might explain CPX decision to appoint them as Joint Broker rather than just to raise money. That would be a positive spin on it.
 
Seemed obvious to me but seems a surprise to some...

As the proportion of cars which is electronic versus mechanical increases it makes sense, next it will be Apple Houses.

Apple said to be developing a hi-tech Car
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technolog...-tech-car.html

Apple is working on an electric car, according to people familiar with the matter, showing the consumer-electronics giant is open to stepping outside its lucrative focus on mobile devices.

Apple has put a few hundred employees to work on the secretive project, said one of the people, who asked not to be identified because the information is private.

Steve Zadesky, vice president of iPhone product design, is leading the effort, the person said. Apple often tests ideas that don’t get released, and the effort work may not lead to the company introducing an automobile, the person added.

The project is code-named Titan and the vehicle design resembles a minivan, the Wall Street Journal reported earlier Friday.
Some Apple executives have flown to Austria to meet with contract manufacturers of high-end cars, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.
Apple already has technology that may lend itself to an electric car and expertise managing a vast supply chain. The company has long researched battery technology for use in its iPhones, iPads and Macs. The mapping system it debuted in 2012 can be used for navigation.
Last year, Apple also introduced CarPlay, a software system that integrates iTunes, mapping, messaging and other applications for use by automakers.
Apple has batted around the idea of developing a car for years. Phil Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of marketing, said in 2012 court testimony that executives discussed building a car even before it released the iPhone in 2007.
Mickey Drexler, an Apple board member and head of J Crew Group Inc., also said in 2012 that Apple co-founder Steve Jobs had wanted to build a car.
A representative of Apple, based in Cupertino, California, declined to comment. The Financial Times has also reported that Apple is hiring auto experts to work at a new research lab.
 
As the Apple Car stuff shows the move towards increased electronicisation of cars is inexorable whether it is stop-start systems, micro hybrids, plug-in EV's etc

Makes CPX down here look unbelievable.

I see that GOS is in a pre IPO fundrasing drive, looking for 15 million and attracting 585K from Baker Steel Resources. The significance for us and XTR is the indicated GOS subscription price is 70 pence per share.

XTR holds 2,371,365 plus will get another 1,500,000 when GOS officially lists.

Certainly makes the balance sheet look better.

Sultan - also bear in mind that if you ever in the future move onto forex or other levereged products, make sure that it is regulated by the authorities in US or UK.. Because if the broker goes to the wall due to an event on the markets you have some chance of getting your money back. In the UK you will be protected for upto £50,000.

I will give you an example of etoro. Advertises itself as world's largest social investment platform. Despite having offices in Canary Wharf (UK), if you scroll down towards the bottom you wil see:

eToro (Europe) Ltd., a Financial Services Company authorized and regulated by the Cyprus
Securities Exchange Commission (CySEC) under the license # 109/10

I would be careful putting money in with companies like these, because the day things go wrong, it will be too late for you to withdraw capital from them.

Another thing I will say is that research well and do not over trade and do not fall into the trap of having delusions of becomming millionaire overnight.

Best of luck in your investments.
 
Interesting to see that the Apple/A123 battery guy Mujeeb Ijaz has previously been speaking at events at which Cap-xx (CPX) also presented which shows at least they are at the events key opinion formers and decision makers are presenting their own ideas and hopefully creating an impact with them / networking in same circles.
 
At the moment things seem more encouraging with XTR as they have less pressure from creditors but they are still in debt so they need their mine to start generating cashflow quickly. They havent said what quantum of profits will be just that they will become profitable in April. In retrospect it was a bad move to financially lever up what was clearly a operationally leveraged/marginal gold producer.

Big volume today so one would hope this will see a change in momentum for a bit now
 
CPX so alowing for dilution Mkt Cap is £2.5M with £1m+ cash

targeting truckstart market of $1.8 billion

simply mispriced despite rubbish management
 
They keep on talking about the wearables opportunity and it would seem ideal for something like an Apple Watch. The placing makes it look like they tried and failed to get into that first iteration. Could be tech doesn't work OR does work but doesnt scale at manufacturing yet. Funds may help with iterations on product. Just guessing
 
I thought the latter.

What I like about the statement today is the emphasis on lower production costs based on high volumes. That tells me they are thinking big because they have real interest from huge customers that are demanding scalability before they even consider signing up. Market also likes the news.
 
Truth is, cpx is **** and will go aground next time money runs out. No one will be able to raise money for it.

usual story of a sh1t aussie company listed on aim fleecing british investors. I have yet to see a decent aussie company on aim.

I will never invest a penny in aussie companies on aim.
 
hard to argue that point

so many foreign stocks listed on AIM when they have their own domestic capital markets

what is the attraction of AIM to them ? lack of regulation and unfettered ability to rip off uk PIs seems the main one
 
I think they are just suffering usual s curve of technology adoption.

Technically chart looks like rolling over as market for small caps has been crap maybe people using it as a source of funds for other nearer term opportunities.

Thanks S28

I'm still in a bit of profit, may be best to sell up, incase it does further down. The problem with IKA, whenever they release news been good, but they take there time
 
XTR

About time they gave long suffering shareholders some positive news. They have massively overpromised but under-delivered and endangered the whole company in the process but the CEO is a genuine guy who seems to have rolled up his sleeves and looks like he will try to get this back on track. Not sure a single 200m vein albeit at relatively high grade and at the surface and thus open pittable will be enough by itself to turn the whole company around but it might create enough buzz for them to get away a placing at a less dilutive level taking advantage of current excitement and pay down some of the debt/service debt.
 
Quite impressive move considering 1p placing April 9th

Although if they pull off the deals they say they are working on the potential is for a 20 30 maybe even 100p share price IMO
 
CPX

talk on messageboards is about apple watch
https://www.discussthemarket.com/company/cpx/stream/1/

i have mentioned before i think they might have tried but failed to get in, and even if they are in they will probably be a Murata branded part so CPX might not even know about it !

More likely short term news could come from the auto segment, hidden away in the March presentation which they would have given to investors who participated in the placing was a couple of slides highlighting the potential of the auto segment

Billion pound APC


The Automotive Council has identified electrical energy storage as a key technology for the future of the automotive industry in the UK. WMG, at the University of Warwick, has made significant investments over the last 10 years to build expertise and facilities in the scale-up and evaluation of battery systems. As a result of these investments, and a strong network of academic and industrial partners, The University of Warwick has been identified as the logical location to host the Electrical Energy Storage Spoke for the APC.

As a Spoke, the University will bring together a community of academic and industrial organisations with a focus on automotive electrical energy storage - including battery and supercapacitor technologies, battery management systems, and battery pack integration. This community will inform APC strategy in this field, and will support the APC in developing and delivering these technologies to the market.

CPX - queer not real news announcement, you would think they have such engagements with loads of companies i.e. the supposed 20 odd investigating the automotive supercapacitors

XTR - has been comment recently on the LSE BB that the CEO emailed a poster offering a bet the stock would be over 0.50p soon
 
Maybe the CPX 'news' was timed to coincide with the new placing shares to be admitted tomorrow. Will be interesting to see reaction of share price and nature of new institutional holders.

was asked offline how you can judge whether placing stock has gone

a lot of placings now seems to be open racket where insiders sell or short prior to it and then use their placing stock to cover

but otherwise rule of thumb i use is NUMBER OF PLACING SHARES divided by AVERAGE DAILY TRADING volume then multiply by THREE

eg

placing 100m
adtv 10m
100/10 x 3 = 30 days
