Shares tip...quite interesting.....graph looks good and a british company as well....in electronics...unusual....

Could be good for Nanoco

Some way down you will find BACKGROUND paragraph 0004 to read

[0004] One of the common issues with quantum dots is that they are potentially toxic. Cadmium-free quantum dots or heavy metal-free quantum dots may be desirable for consumer goods applications. In other words, it may be useful to reduce the cadmium (Cd) content in a product below a threshold such that the cadmium is present only in trace or minimal amounts. Quantum dots with a stable polymer coating may be nontoxic. Another issue is the high production cost for the quantum dots in the display.

Buy on Rumor

Talk that Apple is interested in quantum dots and is about to take a strategic stake in Manchester-based firm Nanoco, in which entrepreneur Richard Griffiths owns a 12.3 per cent stake, helped the shares climb 9.25p to 143.25p.

Nanoco has shipped a substantial amount of sample quantum dot materials to potential customers. It has also signed a further joint development agreement with Osram which focuses on the optium solution for using its quantum dots in LED-based general lighting.

Rumour of Samsung announcing something.

this could be it QD secret

Is this good news for NANO?

Possibly, until we get confirmation of whos QDs they are going to use. Nanoco have the edge because of the Cadmium-free aspect. The likes of LG & Samsung want world distribution without any restrictions which heavy metal content will stop access to some markets.

Nanoco do not get a mention here, and the fact QD Vision do does not mean they are the suppliers.

Acti tks interesting that it will take Samsung and others at least three years to develop this technology whereas NANO is close to commercialisation now.

QD Vision supply Sony. Sony are trying for first mover advantage with cadmium QD, but they could switch any time
old news

Is this the bottom..?

Is this the bottom..? Who Knows? I don't think it is, there are still some shorters with positions around 6% in total The SP has been reversing in the last week or so. Could depend on RNS about DOW production, but we need some news on contracts to supply. Interim results are a long way off probably about March. I am thinking about going to cash if we drop below 131p

Thanks Activ.

Going to cash and sit this out.
This could take the edge off.

change of mind still holding. support at 132p

Still falling no support atm.

going to cash and I mean it this time. I used to be indecisive, now I not so sure.

wouldn't it be nice if NANO announced a big contract with a major user of quantum dots.

Yes could happen while I am in cash, but I can get back in any time. This could be another Iofina with the shorters. I have made my call.

Acti good luck hope you have made the right call and don't end up "dotty"!
