Stakis,
Your 11.28
If anyone over there (with a few notable exceptions) REALLY did understand the science it seems they don't get the INVESTING side as they seem to have spent a great many years telling everyone that "the" RNS is due, "any day now".
Since they have failed to see "The" RNS that was predicted, which will skyrocket SCLP to £8 per share, it appears they've been waiting 11 years for their ideal exit, although they'll all come up with reasons why they are right (Irrespective of the irrefutable proof that to date they are not).
I say 11 years rather than 12 because of the cash raise in 2013 (@ 22.5p a substantial discount to the previous day's closing price) that finally wiped out any near term prospect of a return to the dizzy heights of the 2012 (64p - BEFORE the mass dilution - which followed over the ensuing (almost) 11 years).
So it seems a relatively straightforward but obvious conclusion that many of the "experts" over there do not have the global view of the Biotech industry (or even a passing acquaintance ) with the commercial situation in the Biotech industry which would have been helpful in making Scancell an investment which could have been profitable and that, or some of that profit, secured in 2012.
Now THAT would have been a great investment. Many are now left with a break even in 2024 which (IMO) cannot be claimed as a brilliant strategy. Many watched their holding swing from significant profit to their current position by following the Scientific "Experts" on BBs.
Buying and blindly holding has clearly been not been the stellar moneymaking process that so many trumpeted year in year out. It's a shame but irrefutable.
Anyone who has taken the decision to disinvest at the many opportunities which have arisen over the years have generally been "ridiculed" for their decision, even though most of those who have sold have generally been able to reinvest at a lower level given the passage of time whilst recovering some (or all) of their initial investment.
I'm sure there's a few realists on this BB who would agree. Fewer over on the other side (or however the divide is described) and maybe there will be howls of protest that my comments aren't valid or even born of malice. They are neither. There will be people who have profited from Scancell over the years, but it won't be those who have followed the "expert" advice of those who are most vociferous (and often outrageously wrong) on not only this, but other BBs.
AIMO
