Europe, including Germany, is still Russia's biggest buyer of Liquid Natural Gas (LNG) and Pipeline Gas too..

Our snow ball is rolling and growing!
We need to get off the ASX baby slope.
We need to get on the Nasdaq black diamond mountain.

Schussing down the slope without a skiing helmet made of proper IP licences & resulting revenue expectations is pretty suicidal, though, if you ask me…
Rumour has it, there is a shark tank set up at the end of that obstacle-riddled hazardous Double Black Diamond run that only expert skiers will be able to avoid. And beware of the avalanche risk, too…

By the way, we still don’t know what US stock exchange our management has in mind. Nowhere did they actually say it would be the Nasdaq.

And I agree with what others have also said before: With our current share price in the doldrums, setting sails for the Nasdaq would require us to do a large reverse split before even thinking of crossing the ocean, which in my experience, although it may look totally harmless in theory and on paper - and now please jump back to the skiing imagery - will usually open up the gate to a downward slope so steep long-term shareholders will rarely ever get to climb up again…

I’d much prefer the opposite - a split - one day, like the one I had last year for my NVIDIA shares! 😊

I once had Electra shares. Among other mistakes, they went public on the NASDAQ too early and without any turnover. I sold in the euphoria of the announcement after analysing how many new companies or start-ups were successful and how many were not.
From the listing onwards, it was all downhill and I was rightly out beforehand. Some time later, when Electra was crushed or gnawed off in the shark tank, there was nothing left and they were delisted.
Never go to the NASDAQ without solid figures I think to myself.

Very, very few new ones were successful. From memory, in the very low single-digit percentage range. So my decision to sell.

Another example is AHI, who dual listed on the NASDAQ while remaining on the ASX.

Prices not quite the same but it is now delisted from NASDAQ and was upwards of $1.40 on the ASX and is now 9c and has been in suspension for over 6 months, maybe a year.

Same deal as Brainchip, it had tons of partnerships, what appeared to be a solid board of directors, absolutely no revenue. Got absolutely mauled because it didn't manage to convert those partnerships to revenue. We are in the same position right now, albeit better placed to succeed.

It was my first ever investment at $2,500 and ended up selling all of my shares for $400.

Similarly to Brainchip's ride up to $2.34, I had the opportunity to sell AHI at circa 6x but chose not to because things were looking promising and ended up getting completely fucked 🤣.

Paid a $2,100 lesson but unfortunately didn't learn that lesson until well after Brainchip's slide down from $2.34 otherwise I probably would have realized selling at +$2 was the right move. Hindsight!

I am still as positive as ever on Brainchip's long term value so am not planning to sell any shares, but from experience, fully agree with you on the risks of listing on the NASDAQ too early.

We need more IP licences and preferably royalties rolling in to extract as much value with limited dilution on listing with the NASDAQ or another exchange.

Dual listing is expensive and hopefully not the route they go.

I just hope they show progress to get the share price well up before the redomicile as Aus Super will force my Brainchip shares to be sold so I will lose a significant portion of my holdings (circa 80%). It therefore needs to be at a much higher price than today so that I and other industry fund shareholders make some money on the shares we do lose. Alternatively, share price much higher results in having the value sitting there to make it worthwhile setting up and reinvesting via a SMSF.

Plenty of shareholders are in the same boat as me with their shares being held in an industry fund. It is going to be a real problem for a lot of Australian investors.

Actually, those “exciting news” you shared with us are totally wurst to me.
(It basically means ‘I don’t care’ or ‘it doesn’t make a difference’, and yes, that’s a really common expression in German, even though I’d personally use the variant wurscht in this context.)

Neither does Dana LeVan provide any source at all for his claim that “Mercedes-Benz & BrainChip are moving from R&D to commercial deployment”, nor does he have any connection to either company as far as we can tell.

One thing I was able to find out about him, though, is that he is the former CMO of Wevorce (“New Agreements. Peaceful. Relationships. Skip the courthouse, keep the kindness”). On their website, where he promotes himself as an excellent pick for “private judge”, he describes himself as being highly skilled at Divorce Coaching, so our company may want to save his contact details in case one day a joint partnership goes awry… 🤣 (https://www.wevorce.com/blog/team/dana-levan/)

Note that he is now the CMO of CrowdSmart.ai (https://www.crowdsmart.ai/about-crowdsmart/), whose “patented human-interactive AI helps groups share and refine their intelligence with curated insights to generate trusted and predictive strategies, plans, and decisions.”

My guess is that his post was largely AI-generated and he unfortunately failed to verify what the LLM came up with.





By the way, when you shared that paragraph from Dana LeVan’s LinkedIn post, why did you cut off the header that reads “Neuromorphic Hardware: The Long-Term Play (3-5 years)”? Didn’t you consider it important to also share that timeframe with us?


View attachment 79564


Somebody asked Dana LeVan about his claim re MB & BRN on LinkedIn, and he cryptically responded with a quote. 🤔

Is it meant to be his own reply, which seems weird given the quotation marks and the fact he himself made that very claim in the first place?

Or was this quote taken from the Trump fan boys’ podcast he referred to earlier in his post (without sharing which episode it was, though)?

I noticed that he also gave Patrick Pasternacki’s second reply a 👍🏻, in which he was informed that the Vision EQXX concept car would never go commercial, but he still didn’t clear up the confusion. His self-description on https://www.wevorce.com/blog/team/dana-levan/ as a “passionate and empathetic communicator who untangles complex circumstances” doesn’t exactly shine through here…

Anyway, not a trustworthy source at all, if you ask me…
I much prefer to listen to the horse’s mouth: “… we’re currently looking into Neuromorphic Computing as part of a research project. Depending on the further development progress, integration could become possible within a timeframe of 5 to 10 years.” (Mercedes-Benz on LinkedIn, January 29, 2025)

https://thestockexchange.com.au/threads/brn-discussion-ongoing.1/post-449452


Oh, THAT 👆🏻 guy again 👇🏻… Looks to me as if he were just fishing for some attention for himself and his buddy and/or client Paul Dlugosch from Boise, ID - the founder and CEO of Natural Intelligence - since he keeps tagging him or his company in his posts promoting neuromorphic computing, without really knowing much about the topic himself (“… and #Qualcomm Zeroth showing promise”). Turns out, Dana LeVan used to live in Idaho’s capital as well - what a coincidence… 😉

Just over two weeks ago, @MDhere posted the allegedly “exciting news” that “Mercedes and BrainChip were moving from R&D to commercial deployment”. Yet, to this day, Dana LeVan has failed to reply to a very valid same-day question by a member of this forum asking for clarification with regards to his post and his weird reply to Patrick Pasternacki:


4C49595D-1436-4BB1-8FB5-827E27F6BD9B.jpeg


I am not sure if @MDhere still stands by her initial assessment of Dana LeVan’s post really being “exciting news” and her interpretation that there may possibly be some cleverly hidden info in the confusing reply he gave in the comment section 👇🏻

Not sure Dio, but that's an interestimg answer by Dana on Linkedin, answering a question with a question but also adding single quotation marks to his answer then adding a question then a further question on qualcomm. Maybe the single quotation mark is a statement. Then combining the questions as one combined?
Isnt the english language intersting when you add or omit apostrophes lol

(…)

Anyway all i can say is boomidy boom boom.

… but the way I see it, her onomatopoeia 👆🏻 regarding the alleged MB & BRN “reveal” by Dana LeVan has now unmistakenly turned out to be the sound of an implosion rather than an explosion (watch from around 31:30 min):

Well, as for BRN and topping up, in the low, I'dll wait for Trump's madness first.)

Nothing to report about the switch 2 and no mention of what’s running the console. Maybe find out more on the 5th June when it’s released and has been torn down to provide more information on what’s inside.
Thank you for watching and reporting to us!

What about the new “c” button which allows for “GameChat”? This function recognises your voice and includes noise cancelling technology. There are also going to be some audio recognition-based games. I’m just watching an update now but it actually sounds a little promising.

There‘s also a new Nintendo Switch 2 camera attachment. I don’t know if it’s capable of gesture recognition, for example, because the update I watched didn’t go into detail about what it does other than allow for you to appear on screen via GameChat.

I even came across a Lebanese website today covering the Frontgrade Gaisler GRAIN announcement:

An optional Nintendo Switch 2 camera connected to the system dock will let you appear on-screen and in video chat over gameplay, or in a small circle next to your character. The GameChat feature will require a Nintendo Switch Online membership starting on March 31, 2026.

A new C button on the right Joy-Con of the Switch 2 will let you pull up a chat menu to manage a new "GameChat" feature that allows you to "communicate with friends and family while playing a game." A built-in microphone at the top of the system will "pick up your speaking voice clearly, even at a distance," Nintendo said, and even amid background noise. The button will also let you easily share your game screen with friends, and the feature was shown with four different player views along the bottom of the display, even when players were in different games.

The Joy-Con can also be used as a mouse when the edge is slid along a table. This mode combines with the Joy-Con's internal gyroscope to let you angle shots with a putter while moving the mouse to control the position, for instance.

To demonstrate the Switch 2's mouse controls, Nintendo showed a new game called Drag x Drive, which is planned for summer 2025. This dual-mouse controlled game lets you control a player in a Rocket League-style 3-on-3 basketball game. Sliding one mouse is used to move your character, while waving the other can be used to shoot or wave to other players to call for the ball. Players were also shown rolling up half-pipes near the basket for massive dunks.
