Special cryptocurrency webinar for Frontier Tech Investor readers

11th October 2017 | Eoin Treacy

Last week, Nick O’Connor, Sam Volkering and I sat down to talk cryptocurrencies.

It was a cracking chat. It may help answer some of your questions about crypto. And it’ll show you how I see the market developing in the very near future.

It’s for paying subscribers only, and it’s on the website now. You can view it now by clicking here.

Haydale announces capital raise                

Haydale Graphene Industries doubled its revenue this year and has a solid order book, which suggests it could do the same next year. However, the company needs more money to fund R&D so it can continue to grow at that pace. It has gone to the market asking for more capital, about £10 million, because it is time pressured. It could wait a year for the money it needs to be generated by sales but that would cede the initiative to its competitors.

As I explained when I originally recommended Haydale as a way of benefiting from the evolution of this wonder material, graphene is a rapidly evolving sector. Haydale is in a great position but it needs to continue to innovate to sustain its momentum.

Here’s what CEO Ray Gibbs had to say yesterday:

“This has been a year of considerable developments at Haydale as the Group has moved from being R&D focused to a commercial entity with focus on repeatable revenues of our advanced materials in both Graphenes and our specialist Silicon Carbide micro fibre product. We are at the inflexion point in our evolution having built a global presence serving locally the key markets of the Far East and USA. We have grown total income by 100% and with the recent overseas investments and emphasis on increasing sales, we look at the current financial year with much optimism having built the foundations for the Group to achieve its long term strategic objectives.”

I believe management understands it is in a race for market share and so has opted for a capital raise. I am writing to you because I believe the decline in prices seen today is temporary and I want to reiterate my optimistic view on the company and its prospects over the medium term.

Here is a link to the company’s press release relating to both the full-year results and the capital raise.

Important Risk Warning

Advice in Altucher’s Investment Network Pro UK does not constitute a personal recommendation.

Any advice should be considered in relation to your own circumstances, risk tolerance and investment objectives. Before investing you should carefully consider the risks involved, including those described below. If you have any doubt as to suitability or taxation implications, seek independent financial advice.

General – Your capital is at risk when you invest, never risk more than you can afford to lose. Past performance and forecasts are not reliable indicators of future results. Bid/offer spreads, commissions, fees and other charges can reduce returns from investments. There is no guarantee dividends will be paid.

Small cap shares - Shares recommended may be small company shares. These can be illiquid meaning they are hard to trade and can have a large bid/offer spread. If you need to sell soon after you bought, you might get back less that you paid. This makes them riskier than other investments in larger share companies.

Overseas investments - Shares may be denominated in a currency other than sterling. The return from these may increase or decrease as a result of currency fluctuations. Any dividends will be taxed at source in the country of issue.

Unregulated investments - The Financial Conduct Authority does not regulate certain activities, including the buying and selling of commodities. This means that you will not have the protection of the Financial Ombudsman Service or the Financial Services Compensation Scheme.

Taxation – Profits from share dealing are a form of income and subject to taxation. Tax treatment depends on individual circumstances and may be subject to change.
