It's a place where wild animals are kept and they have big signs saying don't feed the WANCA's.

And we’re one of those companies. Two years ago today the SP was only 42 cents and that was after launching from a sub 10 cent base thanks to the NASA news. These days our base is 1000% higher.

The very laypersons understanding is that the Zoo contains ready to use models that you can download to do a specific task like reading an X-ray without having to build your own. They give developers a head start on adapting AKIDA to the task they are looking to perform.
Now it’s time for @Diogenese to speak with authority.

Just going back to the BMW story about 1,000 kilometre range. The headline is misleading in the extreme. In the article BMW makes it clear that:
1. They could do 1,000 kilometres if they wanted to;
2. They do not intend to do it as they do not think anyone needs to travel 1,000 kilometres on a single charge;
3. The 30% improvement they hope to achieve with their new battery will bring their range up to the rest of the competition which is at least 400 kilometres short of 1,000 kilometres.

Just checked and the following still appears on the website:
“Marquee brands include Mercedes, Valeo, Vorago, and NASA, and commercial IP licenses with Renesas and MegaChips. Commercial availability of semiconductor chips, IP, tools, and boards.”

Yes, it’s doubled, but how much has changed within our organisation to reflect this?
- Two years ago we were effectively a concept
- Akida was yet to be produced or verified
- We had no exposure in the one shot learning space
- We had no real demos
- We had fractional industry exposure to what we have now
- We had a tiny technical team
- We had no sales team
- We had a very small international presence (as apposed to offices in US, AU, France, and India like we have now)
- We had only just started the EAP
- We had regular company updates and announcements helping the SP
- We had no commercial contracts
There plenty of stuff I’m forgetting no doubt. My point is; of course we have increased in value given all that’s happened - we just haven’t increased as much as many were expecting, and more importantly neither has our customer base or revenue. I’m sure it will come, or I would’ve sold and moved on - that doesn’t mean that shareholders don’t have a right to be disappointed at the average performance. Especially when reverting back to my original point when responding to FF, that the company have been so tight-lipped with what is happening under the blanket.
I won’t be responding to anymore comments about my last three posts. I’ve made my point, and understand how I have a tendency to ruffle feathers when discussing my views on this topic. It’s important to call things for what they are though, and I for one can understand peoples feeling towards their perceived views on the SP and commercialisation performance.

I'm Spartacus!
I have been buying, accumulating and mainly holding BRN amongst others since October 2015.
I didn’t really get into solid, positive territory until mid 2020.
My ‘time in the market’ has allowed me to retire from my day job of 40+ years and look forward to a degree of financial independence I previously only dreamed of.
Most of my attempts to “time the market” have failed abominably.
I’m not saying it can’t be done, many here notably report on their success, but it is my belief that in many cases that is playing “their” game.
I too have walked into casino’s and got lucky with a bet, but I know that if I stay, and continue to push my luck that the house will inexorably, eventually win.
It is their game, after all, played on their premises, by their rules.
All this is somewhat dwarfed by the macro power politics playing out on the worlds stage which ultimately may turn out to be but a sideshow to wider environmental change in the ecosystem we all share and are reliant upon.
I still believe we have, in Brainchip, an investment vehicle that is sound, well motivated and managed and with an existing and pipelined product potential, that is as yet, only vaguely understood.
The dot joining and variety of potential placements exhibited on this forum alone bare witness to the width and depth of application for our as yet unrivalled technology and well protected IP.
The “Merc hype” as you put it was understood by anyone with a modicum of familiarity of our Company to be an exciting, but at the time, unsustainable blip in our share price. However, like the previous spike to 97 cents followed by a long trying period for holders, it may be seen as a precursor of what is to come. I have just purchased more shares yesterday, having taken advantage of the shorter’s efforts and the general market malaise to increase my holdings further. I don’t know that this is the bottom, or that the sun will rise tomorrow, but I believe those twenty odd thousand shares will be worth at least twice that on the market sometime over the next few years.
It is a risk I am willing to take.

You've done amazingly well FF for a long time, no need to explain or justify your POV. It gets really difficult for everybody to manage expectations when the SP is slumping. However to my knowledge the company itself has not acted in a way that should have inflated the expectations of SH's. Fundamentally we are doing fine. To my recollection the company has stated "explosive growth" from the back end of 2022 into 2023. This is just around the corner. Ignore the noise and play the waiting game. Personally, my only downfall has to inflate the expectations of my partner that has affected current and future financial planning in the short term. A slumping share price can cause family friction esp in times of global uncertainty. I know where we are headed and have the patience to see it out.

Ok @Bravo i will have a look at that 2hr qualcomm video later, i somewhat got sidetracked with Shikino high tech, the company that bought an unknowm stake in Magik-eye. Seems Shikino is quite involved with Socionext and Panasonic with the HD-PLC. And it appears that Megachips is very much involved in the HD-PLC Alliance.
Soooo If Leica Cameras are involved with Panasonic and Panasonic is involved with HD-PLC and Shikino is involved with Magikeye and Megachips is involved with the above and BRAINCHIP is involved with the above, Can you imagine the accuracy of camera leica rifles, Leica cameras identifying objects that you point it at telescopes, binoculars, etc etc
I rest my case

I noticed my graph is cut short so here is the stats link some of which are beyond my lay technical knowledge but 1907 downloads in the past month is significant.Something has caught my very lay attention on
The first thing is that they have been updating to accommodate AKIDA 2.0.
The second thing is they have dropped compatibility for JAST on some layers?
The third thing is they have cortical models in the Zoo.
The fourth thing as set out below is they have training for three product offerings one of which I had not seen being AKIDATwoNodesIP.
Renesas as we know is developing an MCU using 2 nodes. This product is going to need advice on how to train the two nodes?
The fifth is the upward trend and spike in down loads?
So it is now up to the true tech savvy among the 1,000 Eyes to make sense of these very lay observations.

Agree with all that but would add that two years ago BrainChip had the wrong strategy in place. The changes that happened when Sean and Nadel were brought on board were pretty dramatic and needed. And now we have a new Sales director I think we will see more fine tuning. The pull back and re-strategising were pretty much admitted to by BrainChip management. I have cut them some slack in their timeline because I think it’s all part of the development of BrainChip the company. I will wait until the next AGM before I pass any judgments.

By the way I have owned two BMW’s in the past. A 1999 318i Series I had for years and years and sold to my mechanic for his mother who loves it and drives it to this day. A 1999 535i bought at the same time and I loved that car. Dark metallic green with leather trim. Possibly the best all round vehicle I have owned but as my in-laws and parents aged it was difficult for them to get in and out as it sat very low to the road. I should have stored it and not traded it in.
Anyway I am not anti BMW just this article and the line it presents.

Here's the reason for Motley Fools blatant lies I reckon..
Aggregate shorts have increased by almost 17 million borrowed shares!
The more than 10 million additional shorts taken out on the 16th of September, have just further pushed them into the tar pit, awaiting the lightning strike, that will burn them to ashes
I couldn't be happier, with that result, from their short attack, on that day.
Retail are clearly not selling and institutional are likely buying.
Shorting a Company, that has the goods, is sheer stupidity..
Those numbers came as a "pleasant" suprise, I must say, considering the limited move in price.
I have not read the reporting requirements but either they are wholefully inadequite and or the governance is shocking.
BRN short reporting is the most erratic I have seen.
I mean where did the additional 6,628,807 come from on the 16th?
The graphs I do makes is easier to see throught the erratic numbers for me.
Below is recent history with "Reporting Error" showing the net over/under reporting.
Positive number is under-reported.
Even that number doesn't tell the full story.
For the 16th when shorts was under-reported by 6,628,807 it will actually be more.
No way that there was no shorts covered for the day, which means not only should the gross have been at the very least 16,909,896, it should have been more than that.
That means previous days and/or the 16th was grossly under reported.

This is a must see video IMO!!!!! Edge AI is a YUUUUUUGE FOCUS!!
Look at the list of Qualcomm customers and "massive ecosystem which have selected Snapdragon Digital Chassis for the platform on top of which they're developing".
I spy with my little eye Valeo!
PS: I did some overtime. I worked 4.27 minutes into the second shift.

It hasn’t just doubled. The long term base up until that point in time before the leg up was sub 10 cents. Now the base is sub $1. It’s gone up 10 fold and for very good reasons as you’ve outlined.
So as much as you’re disappointed in the rate of progress I’m equally frustrated at people’s lack of patience, perspective and appreciation for what has been a 1000% increase in two and a bit years (after you iron out all of the FOMO buying and panic selling).
Put it this way. If we see the same rate of SP growth in the next two and a bit years then the base will be sub $10 by 2025 and we’ll all be absolutely laughing.

Yeah I was going to ask you about that Krugerrands, because even without doing the sums, I could see the numbers didn't add up..
The records of daily shorts, only seem to cover the last 3 days and I know you keep better track
Like you said, I don't mind an additional 6 million shorts, although current market conditions are certainly helping them (it's the only thing that is!).
They do say "reported" daily shorts and "reported" aggregate shorts and although (pretty sure) it's an offence to not report them, it still happens, obviously..
Who's been guilty of that before?
AH AHH CITI CORP!
Oh excuse me...
I wonder if those obvious discrepancies are worth following up and gotten to the bottom of
... 
The other thing that crossed my mind, was the possibility of borrowed shorts, being held back over several days and then dumped together with the new shorts on the 16th?..
It's even worse for the shorters, if you consider it was that large a coordinated attack, for what effect it had..

I'm intrigued. Exactly whose opinion did you think @Townyj was expressing? I thought it was blatantly obvious.
