Sorry to see that FF has left. That is a real blow to the research, analysis, intellectual and witty aspects of this group. I cant blame him at all for leaving but rather thank him for the years that he entertained and informed us. Hope he is doing very well.

I'm Spartacus!
As long termers here will know. my posts are usually pretty upbeat. I have been heavily into this stock since 2016 so am obviously a patient person. However, I admit to the continued manipulation of this stock slowly wearing me down. I understand that our relationships are protected by NDA's and all that but to see the share price where it is with so much good news flowing over the last few months is VERY frustrating.

I am a big believer in the technology and the team bringing it to the market but damn it if the manipulators aren't having a field day at our (ordinary retail holders) expense. I guess some of it boils down to the fact that the ASX is a technology backwater. If BRN was listed in the US I am confident that the SP would be some multiples of what it currently is.

And I'll tell you something I don't understand. If the new version of AKIDA is currently in pre-production why hasn't there been an announcement about successful initial testing? It is inconceivable that we would be proceeding to tape-out if Peter and Anil were not convinced that it is going to work!!!!

Rant over.....hoping for some commercial progress to be revealed in the upcoming 4C..........

I certainly understand your frustration with the current share price, but ranting about it here or on other social media platforms is not accomplishing anything except for perhaps some perverted measure of self gratification. I do not mean this as a dig at you personally or any other genuine holder here, as I doubt many would have predicted the current state of play nor expected, with all the positives that have been revealed recently, that we would find our share price languishing at its current level. Nor would they enjoy the fact.

However......

1. You are preaching to the converted who can do nothing to alter the circumstance in which we all find ourselves.
We are all already acutely aware of where the share price is presently ranging.

2. It is providing comfort to the enemy who no doubt monitors these pages for intelligence regarding the success of their strategy. The more discomfort evidenced here, the more likely we will need to endure it's continuation until such time as it suits their purpose and they relent or are forced by circumstances beyond their control.

3. All any of us can actually do that is reliant or actually makes the daily fluctuations in the share price relevant is Buy, Sell or Hold.
Whilst it is unfortunate to be in a position of Having to sell whilst the price is so low, it is concurrently a seemingly advantageous time to buy if one (such as I) believes the price to be ridiculously undervalued. I have done so to the limit allowed by my personal circumstance.
So, in the meantime, like you, I wait.

4. The share price is generally not a true reflection of the value of our company but merely how an artificial and manipulated entity measures it moment by moment primarily driven by a mob's greed and fear.

5. The share price has no correlation to, or interest in any individual's holding or personal agenda unless or until it is large enough to have an impact through its further buying or selling. Hence, excepting being spooked in one direction or another or in the unlikely scenario that we agree and act in unison, we Retail individually have little to no bearing on the market. Indeed only the institutions with vast holdings have the coordinated gravitas to nudge the price in any particular direction and do so in accord and with regard to their own agenda.

You and I my friend are on this bus for the ride, neither of us are driving it.
I still have confidence in those who have control, otherwise I would have surrendered my ticket, got off and be looking for another vehicle.
Whether we like it or not we are still on a lumpy road, subject to uncontrollable and erratic headwinds some of which are beyond the scope of the driver to avoid, and so we have to trust in their skill to get us to our desired destination.

We all just want to BE THERE ALREADY but the reality is we're still en route and it takes as long as it takes.
Hang in there. 🤣

If you haven't already done so, read the 2nd paragraph from the job description below.

I would be happy to place a bet that Brainchip will soon be found, if not already in, a wide array of applications such as self-driving cars,
hearing aids, drones, and agricultural equipment.

We are the world's first commercial producer of
ultra-low-power and high-performance artificial
intelligence technology processors that enables a
wide array of applications such as self-driving cars,
hearing aids, drones, and agricultural equipment. The
event-based neural network processor is inspired by
the spiking nature of the human brain and is
implemented in an industry-standard digital process

Agreed Hop.

As we heard in the podcast this week, 2023-24 is going to be disruptive for AI.

Short term pain for long term benefits.
I have no doubt that the pain will be on for a while, markets have not broken the resistance imo, inflation et al is still an issue, but then again holding through short term pain for long term benefits. With Brainchip we never know when we get the gold nuggets like Renesas, Mercedes or Megachips.

The best way to get rid of temptation is to give in.

Not financial advice, ethical advice.
... and while we're on the topic of temptation:
The preacher was delivering his homily on temptation from the pulpit, reading from the notes he had prepared the previous evening ...

"... and Adam said to Eve ..."

riffling desperately through his notes, " ... ummmm ... there seems to be a leaf missing."

;)Good afternoon.
I maybe wrong here but if anyone is posting or making derogatory remarks via LinkedIn to Intel or their staff could you please refrain from that behaviour.
Brainchip has a lot of respect for Mike Davies and believe it or not but the reverse also applies. So we don't want this relationship damaged by short sightedness thanks.

Also, when you think of a new chip, you may want to consider thinking in the plural sense, so to speak.

I’m onboard with you guys @HopalongPetrovski and @BaconLover however I also acknowledge the long term holders and admire your courage for buying at such an early stage of development, discipline and patience.

I’ve actually stopped looking at the SP all week.

If I didn‘t keep reading about it on TSE I wouldn’t even know the SP was slightly down… and I don’t really care what it is at the moment as I have no intention of selling any for the next 12 months to 2 years at least. I’m planning on holding most of my shares for dividends!

I have found it quite refreshing to not be checking the price in the morning or afternoon to see what’s going on. The SP is not a factor in my confidence levels of the company!

I’m way more interested in the fundamentals of the company which to me appear to be extremely solid and have improved immensely year on year that I have been holding!

Brainchip is a leading expert of Edge Ai which is widely acknowledged is a growing industry or some might call it the 4th industrial revolution!

You don’t need to take the word of an anonymous poster; just listen to CTO Jean-Luc Chatelain from Accenture who make $60B annually and employ 700 000 people. I’m sure he knows what he’s talking about.

If Jean-Luc’s not convincing enough check with Intel, Arm, SiFive, VVDN, Prophesee or NASA.

They all appear to have confidence in Brainchip‘s future and will all help drive it’s success!

GLTAH!

Thank you @BienSuerte I get the angst that FF was feeling. He was constantly having to deal with the ego of posters who think that because they follow S & P 500 that makes them some kind of superior investor. I have my trigger finger ready to hit ignore.

S&P 500 is actually a great way of following markets 👌

And I agree ignore is a great function to use.

Not sure why FF was feeling the angst, we are all brainchip family here, if he is taking a break I completely understand.
It's hard to keep supporting some people who are always anxious when share price goes down and throws a tantrum for no reason. I do empathise with them though, as everyone deals with it differently.

Not sure but I'm going to keep an eye on the likes and other reactions to see if repeated reactions from the same company translates to who is involved at a later date if it is revealed. Then use that method later to see if I put the house on future pre reveals🤔😉
Thanks for posting that Learning.
It has limited correlation. People are actually less inclined to like posts if they are looking at buying a solution to make sure no one else finds out. Ask anyone in sales. I’ve worked across many fields in tech and one of them is technical sales. I also don’t like the linkedin posts for brainchip as people here would think I’m a speculative customer

Hi @JDelekto

I agree that Intel Foundry Services is America‘s way of bringing chip manufacturing security to their country. The Chips Act, (worth $280B) amongst other things was to bring foundries onto their home soil in case China decides to invade Taiwan or buy their way into the countries political mechanisms to take it from inside their system to try and avoid a larger war or sanctions. Unlike Australia’s 3-4 year political cycle China plays the long game.

I recollect their were other companies involved which included TSMC. Intel will still make a lot of money from other areas of it’s offerings which will include Foundry Services.

I also agree that Intel will continue to try and advance Lothi 2 and if it can overcome Brainchips patents would prefer to be using their own technology where they can to increase profit margins.

In the mean time Intel want to remain relevant in the edge area and need to be able to offer an advanced edge AI technology or they will fall behind their competitors who do have an offering; such as Arm and SiFive!

So any customer wanting Edge AI will be funnelled down the Brainchip pathway which will help us become an industry standard/ubiquitous!

I also agree that Intel is now a very highly valued partner so I don’t see any business advantage in upsetting any ego’s. I prefer humility!

It will still take time to get products to market so patience is required but in my mind the path to success has been well paved by a great management team!

:)
"I also agree that Intel is now a very highly valued partner so I don’t see any business advantage in upsetting any ego’s. I prefer humility!"

This has hit the nail on the head for me.

This post will seem a little over the top in response to a small two line sentence. I have recently been added to a discord community for software engineers and it has been eye opening for me.

I'm beginning to realise the impact our retail shareholder base is having on the wider community.

Ubiquitous requires acceptance industry wide which requires egos to be pushed to one side. For akida to win, other technologies must lose. That is the battle of market share. Ocean's start blue but as competition increases they turn red.

Brainchip shareholders have a really bad habit of aggressively promoting Brainchip on LinkedIn and other social media sites whilst also dismissing other technologies. We all think we know about neuromorphic computing but truth is most of us have no fucking idea how a neural network truly works, or how to train one, or how to develop artificial intelligence systems. Some of us have learnt more than others, but for most shareholders, the learning is limited to high level theory and buzz words and so our comprehension is truly limited.

The constant Brainchip flag-flying on social media comes from a place of passion, but at some point, abrasiveness and obnoxious overrunning of the #neuromorphic threads will annoy some people. Some people being those engineers on the tools who aren't invested in any company and are simply invested in outcomes, research and making a difference.

Human's can by their very nature be very head strong and opinionated. I wonder how many engineers out there right now are refusing to look at or give akida a go because they've been annoyed by "stock-bro's" who sing the akida song but actually have little understanding about the underlying technology.

Regarding the discord community, I had originally intended to steer the conversation towards akida but having learned the gripes some have with our community, I have since decided it is best to sit back, take notes, see what is being discussed and keep an eye out for any akida related news or findings.

So far, akida has come up several times, but in each case, it has been engineers pulling the piss out of our shareholders on LinkedIn etc.

I'll try to remember to share some of the conversations here at a later date so you can all see what I'm referring to, but in the meantime, try to be mindful of what you post.

You never know who's ego you're bruising and the financial or commercial impacts that bruise may have on our beloved company. After all, we need software engineers and researchers alike to accept and take on akida technology for it to become ubiquitous.
