Nice to see more publicly
Local Southampton Rag. Not exactly the "Holy Grail" of News outlets. Also ta boot, how come they have just heard of this when they are actually in Southampton?! The Report is written like it has just come to their attention. Beggars belief.
We have been reduced to touting ourselves in the local Scumpton Rag! This is becoming even more of a cluster f**K than it already is I fear.
How they are not submitting an EUA after expecting this to hit the big time not 11 weeks ago is beyond me. If they believe it was that good, then why? (do not give me end points of that trial as the excuse). If they really have the data to say that this DOES reduce death rates in patients most at risk, then why? It is implausible to me with the hype they created around this stock that because the data says they do not get out of Hospital within 48 hours it is now not a commercial entity? Well it was 11 weeks back according to them and RM. Especially when considering the ****e companies have got to market through an EUA! To not even submit and try, or say they are going to is unforgivable as far as I am concerned, when considering the money they have spent here.
They best get their act in gear as this is becoming a f***ing joke. 50 million they have spu*ked up the wall in past 18mths and still no EUA, and this on top of 15 years of development and other trials, and they still do not have the required Data! There are very few, if any, excuses left to be honest.
Get your F-in fingers out and either admit to being a lifestyle company with zero ambition of getting anything tangible to market or crack the fu** on and sort it out!
Get off the fence, Axe - tell us what you really think :-D
Couldn’t have put it better myself Axe. If you think otherwise, why are you invested? Donate your investment if you don’t care about cash returns
Lol - Could not hold it in anymore! I was disappointed with yesterday as expected more of an up-beat message to be released that we are doing this and that to move forward through a second RNS. BUT Silence. Just basically told us we all thought would be said.
Nothing released of any real surprise or substance and the market has bottomed that out for us.
J_Cit - I am making money out of this but not enough. That is why I am angry, I am an investor not a sodding charity for a lifestyle company.
I bought 20K more last Monday (see my posts), on top of the other investments I have made in this, but yesterday was nowhere near enough for me, and it should not have been for anyone else either to be honest. If you are in a comfort Zone with this, then I would counter your advice and suggest you step away, as this is really very uncomfortable to hold at the moment as we still do not have a clear trajectory or plan on the table. We are still getting our Balls Juggled buddy and it starting to irritate.
There are some real Jackal and Hyde characters on this forum.
Axe - inclined to agree. 15 years and a lot of money spent in the last 2 years and they are still coming out with words like......"this may help"
Prove it quickly and sell up to one of the big boys, and put us all out of our misery and we might just make some bucks for ourselves to boot.
Hi
If you Googled synairgen last night, you would have seen multiple instances across multiple websites of a disparaging endpoints 'article' of about three paras which flippantly mentioned the Sprinter presentation (if you visit the endpoints site, you'll see multiple banner ads for their events which are all sponsored by BP)
Today if you Google synairgen, you'll find multiple instances across multiple websites of the Southampton Echo article, as far as the eye can see.
Axe is fundamentally right though. They took money from us (80 million?) at 1.75 to commercialise this product. Now, refusing to take the basic steps needed to try and get us some of that back.
Remember, Synairgen fundraised of private investors to get a lot of what they have. Refusing to engage with the commercial side and talk to investors is not merely incompetent but borderline unethical given what people lost.
Well said Docdaneeka, yesterday's results should have been all over the US & UK mainstream and financial press today. Maybe its a hot topic amongst the scientific community at the ATS, but the lack of media coverage feels like another missed opportunity.
Given all the concern over SoC / steroids 70% really is astonishing.
I think this is one we're going to just have to be patient with and trust the Synairgen team (and hope large shareholders are applying pressure). Cream rises to the top, but the lack of a sp rise was surprising.
* I should add - I get your frustration though Axe
Genuine question: what pressure could the likes of Polygon and major shareholders apply and how would they usually do this? (charge into RMs office banging the table? "Quiet" word on the golf course?)
Doc
Agreed that the article is a joke.
What is also a joke is the lack of comms from the company.
They have always been so poor at responding to emails, putting out supporting tweets, providing updates for investors, etc.
I would say an email of this nature should be sent to Brooke, but I didn’t receive a reply to my last two attempts.
Is it too much to expect a tweet about how the conference is going, anything learnt, any networking news, the mood, etc. if there’s nothing to tweet or mention from such a positive event then …?
Very amateur; unfortunately I’m stuck in this for a long time.
GLA LTHs.
Dumb
I know. It is so hard for LTHolders. But for new investors, at these prices - with all the available data - and Polygon, at least at the moment, providing a floor for the sp (which is what everyone has been saying) - for new investors, its a different game.
Update your Google search to last 7 days and search the term SNG001 OR synairgen - You'll see it repeated over and over again. (Along with many new positive articles on the sprinter update, which is nice to see).
We are all investors here and yes that does mean we own a very small part of the company, but if the company is going to have its message break through in to the mainstream, that means they need to concentrate on getting info Infront of new eyes, which means repeating the same message over and over. Building up the positive mentions on the web over time for maximum impact and SEO
Monday's presentation really could not have gone better from a Comms pov. The failure to meet endpoints was clearly and scientificly addressed and the deep dive data was overwhelmingly positive.
The line in the sand has been drawn. The company is now able to shout 'it works for the sickest patients' from the rooftops and they have delivered this message in person to the most important audience (hint, it's not shareholders)
If you were under the impression that after Monday we would be straight back to 1.75+ well, all I can say is this was a bit naieve. There were way too many short term holders for that. But if you are planning on seeing this journey through to the end, Monday was a seminal day in this story.
Onwards and upwards
Brand, I don’t think anyone expected £1.75 on the back of the deep dive and ATS presentation. But perhaps a bit more than 26p to 28p!
Hopefully the direction (and leadership) of the company will be clarified next Wednesday at the AGM.
One might reasonably expect a boardroom shuffle and a US trial funded by NIH, which together with the overdue Activ2 data set should trigger a stable re-rate. I would not be surprised to see a TR1 posted early next week too (MMs appear to be tree shaking).
Sativa - I don’t think the AGM is next Wednesday. Just a financial update and general company update.
I think you're right Doc. Last years was notified on a specific RNS, for June 18th and was a "closed meeting"
An NIH-funded trial doesn't require a boardroom shuffle. One is not contingent on the other.
The only people I see benefitting from short-term agitation are those who it best serves -> short -term punters and P&D merchants. The board is awash with both, has been since H2 2020. I expect they'll retreat under their rocks after the AGM, the usual howl and scowl crew.
Well said Fruits.
The landscape of coronavirus has changed dramatically and trials fail. Get over it and focus on the pivotal news from ATS.
What Pivotal News wass that then? Did I miss something. All I have seen is the scientific way they reached the stats, but they basically informed the Market and us of that weeks ago.
The share price reflects that as of this morning does it not? Pivotal my a***.
The only pivotal thing so far has no back-up comms released and this is dragging the SP back down. And that is my whole point.
Deep Dive to provide back-up to previous statements, BUT no apparent immediate efforts to inform on where we go next. Which should of happened in tandem. Again snails pace and based on fact share price collapsed for us all you would think (having spent 50 million) there would be some urgency to get the positive PIVOTAL Message out there!
