What's a Announcement.
Will it be on the ASX
Not Twitter.
If you know so much please explain.
What's with the riddles buddy.

What did @Makeme 2020 say when he saw himself on a 4k tv?

It's imminent/coming... the forum infestation™ love a bit of balance... can't always post the bin.
The announcement about AKIDA 2.0 is coming this week!
Exclusive to this forum only.

No advice, in my humble opinion.. please do your own research.

While the temperature of the discussion has dissipated a tad I just thought I will echo a common theme of a past contributor of note.

What is Your plan.

If tomorrow, next week or next month we have great news or terrible news. The SP soars or tanks.

What is your plan. If you have thought what you will do in either case the pressure to decide goes and you have more gray matter ( not the competition type either) to put to thinking about other options that then present.

So no matter what occurs execute your plan, relax and be kind to others on a public forum.

From the ordinary view of a common investor, who isn't in research on neuromorphic computing for years:
"Ok, an announcement about the 2nd generation of a chip which doesn't sell, no revenue."

Just to slow down the expectations. I can't see any positive impact on the SP, when there isn't more than that.
Only revenue will push us forward. The development times when fantasy was able to push the SP is over.
There's a commercial product available now, so revenue replaced fantasy.

I remember all too well @BaconLover, how much I have banged on about shorters over the years and how they will benefit the share price, with their "foolishness" 🙄..

Well it certainly appears, that I have a substantial quantity of egg on my face 😔...

They have won! 😭


Well they have won the battle at least, but will they win the War?..

This is the "latest" 3 month chart of short positions.

20230927_002657.jpg


They have covered significantly in the last few weeks (~20%) and at great profit, but why is there an uptick in shorts, at a time when their available "infantry" (or ability to borrow shares) is being diminished, by our expulsion from the ASX200 and the associated institutional sell down??..

I (and I'm most probably just pissing into the wind here..) can think of only two reasons.. (there could obviously be many).

1. This is a sign of desperation (hopeful) as not enough shares are being covered, that need to be covered, quickly enough..

2. Other institutions are buying the shares at current prices (in spite of our removal from the ASX200) and these institutions have begun lending "new" shorts.

Both scenarios, are potentially beneficial to the share price, in the near to short term.

I've noticed some (well at least one) comment from "regulars" about BrainChip share holders, having an almost bottomless pocket and appetite for stock, even as it seems to be "dying" from a thousand cuts..


How many "real" shareholders are selling, even as they sit in despair, with so much about to happen? Potentially..
(AKIDA 2 release is a given but not likely to affect the share price "much" without a follow through of IP deals and or NDA "awakenings" within the next couple of months).

I'm going to make a "prediction" and say I'd expect the share price to "at least" be 60% above current levels, before the end of next week.
Or around 30 cents.
Nothing mind blowing..
Based purely on the AKIDA 2 announcement and associated "frictional" manipulational pressure, sometimes known as SIS.
(not natural buying pressure).

Do you feel lucky?? (Yeah, I know that didn't end well, Dirty Harry fans..)


And remember..

Maybe some of you had shares of failed companies in the portfolio. It always looks the same, very low trade volumes and the absence of institutional ownership, just retail.

Let's have a short look what happens here:



These are just the SEC filings of institutional owners without Australian and Asian funds. On top the nominee accounts of the Top20 shareholders list. From my experience this looks typical for a company in progress leaving the development stage behind.
Development paid by the retail, then institutions and investors step in and take over before the money flows.
That's a very typical phase most of todays big players had somewhen in their history.
This looks like nothing to worry about, but it needs nerves of steel to withstand this time period, where it's all about emptying the pockets of retail shareholders. Stay strong.

Good morning @DingoBorat

Your GIF actually reminds me of the poor shareholders who have ''averaged down'' all the way to 19 cents.
Kept thinking the wind will turn and they could peacefully have a piss, but the wind turns when it turns, there is no pointing in fighting.
All they had to do, is either turn the tap off or just turn around but I guess we all have our biases when it comes to being right or wrong.

Which brings me to the point, shorters don't care being right or wrong. They are in here to make money, which as we all know, they have, in plenty. This ''battle'' is not a battle at all, it is just a punt. These shorters are not some countries where they gather to attack some middle eastern area because they found Oil.

The shorters are just punters. How?
Addressing your point #1, Well, now the SP is deteriorating they are turned around to piss, the moment the wind turns and there's a splash on their face, they will turn around to the right direction, in this case along with us and come for the ride on the long side. We would think that we have ''won'' the war, but these guys are pros with risk management in place. As your chart suggest, nearly 1.5% shares are already covered. There is a small uptick but as any chart it could be just seen as a ''relief rally''.
So even though when the SP appreciates, we may think we have ''won'' the war, those shorts are now long. Some of those will also have hedged positions, some may play the arbitrage. Sure, just like us they lose money too, but it is all a numbers game where risk management and position sizing come to play.

Addressing your point #2, I'd have thought that removal from ASX200 would reduce the number of short available for the big instos, but I am not 100% sure on this.

My theory is we are looking at the wrong picture here concentrating on shorts. We ''only'' have about 6.5% shorts here, where as some of the companies overseas have 100% or even more in US. That would create a short covering explosion.
So in comparison 6.5% is not huge.

However, once the moment management become proactive with contracts and sales, this 6.5% will surely help us a bit. As you said, with substantially low volume and unavailability of short covers.

So a few things happen at the same time when we have some substantial news from the management on ASX.

1) Shorts will cover
2) These shorts will then become Long.
3) Investors who jumped out of the ship will jump back in.
4) Investors who have never heard of us will have a look.

All these will ensure we are taken care of as evident from a couple of years ago.

I personally think we are so glued on to what shorts are doing, and how they ''manipulate'' things, well look, it is not under our control.
Management and sales team just need to do their job, and we all will be Happy as Pharrell Williams.
Management repeatedly say ''SP'' is not under their control.
Well that is a load of BS.
Every time they have announced an IP contract or something substantial, there has been SP rise. So it is under their control, to some degree. The rest is human emotions and sentiment.
Now we are here because we have not had any news through proper official channels, i.e., ASX.

As to your prediction, I'd love to see the SP in 30 cents. Hopefully a close above 33.5 cent mark. That will sure bring some interest back to Brainchip imv.

Have a great day!

Morning Mccabe84,

Nice , Makes sense , they would look pretty stupid if they missed the next F, A, N, G. stock for their clients.

Regards,
Esq.
Morning Esq.

Let’s hope so 🤞

They could all be partly responsible for the relentless shorting so they can accumulate.

Mccabe84,

I would say that is a 100% certainty.

When playing with Trillions globally the stock markets etc are purely a conduit to cycle funds through .

I could not find the exact link for this article from that source, but I think it has been a mixed bag of buying and selling.
Vanguard may have started to reposition as we are out of top 200.
On a net basis, looks like more buys, especially from a First Trust NASDAQ Artificial Intelligence & Robotics ETF and BlackRock.

Couldn’t find the link but these are all listings on Barrons website as of today. 106.06million shares held across the funds. May be more but these are the ones I could see.
