Argos items are free delivery if you collect from your local store, I have no problem with that. Obviously for extra large items it's different.

.....everyone ignored the bull trap, all the ramping profs who were advocating 40 by end of day, dear oh dear oh dear...no idea!😂

I concur with LOTM.....I had similar quote just now, ignore all the rampers especially the new ones!

Brooko told me I was an idiot for selling at over 30p.....never heard of him since!😂

HarChris I think you're looking through rose tinted spectacles here. My interpretation is CT came on board because he thought it would be a slam dunk bearing in mind the great possibilities, unfortunately in the UK money is in short supply for bio's. Doesn't look like that deal is forthcoming. A few were slamming me for selling out at just over 30p, time proves I was right the same as JW who sold at 60p.

Where the company goes now nobody knows but one thing is for sure CT and Sir Nigel won't be out of pocket.

"Rockhopper (RKH) seems to be winning its battle with the Italian government – or so I judge from today’s RNS. RKH is now 15p or better to buy. Time to hoover up"

Best to do it now as if it keeps dropping it'll be no better than 5-6p😣😎

I could name at least 50 companies at present with "potential" all in the penny syndrome. Potential is just a word for "maybe in a few years " a lot don't come to fruition and rely constantly on raising money, diluting shareholders while directors reap the benefit. Not saying that is the case here but there is definitely a struggle going on to get "the" deal.

Brilliant presentation, sp should be multiplying by year end, very underated🙂

USA is where the money is not the UK, that's one route I'm sure CT is thinking of, either that or being taken private.

.....for Octp shareholders today, dest could go the same way as investment in bio's in the UK is at an all time low

I presume they're May bugs?😏

As Shirley Basset sang...🎶Diamonds are (in the safe) forever, forever,

Never to be sold, forever, forever, forevvvvvver!🎶

With regard to yesterday I feel although the presentation was good they basically have shot themselves in the foot by announcing a strategic review. They realistically should have done the review before the results, there was no need to announce it, by doing that yesterday they're basically saying they can't get a deal based on the present credentials because any companies they have been in consultation with have deemed Phase 3 costs too expensive.

The positives are the cash which they have but the negatives are that how long will the review take? It's very amiss of Tovey to not give shareholders a timeline, that is a red flag. Not investable at the present, maybe when the review is done and we know further.

I was hoping a rabbit could be pulled out of the big top hat but all that came out were some promissory notes for 2025.

When CT was appointed he was revered as the new Paul Daniels, well the school report has just come out and the headmaster has noted what he has produced, the answer being "not a lot"

As in the case of Neil Woodford the former now disgraced fund manager who was the darling of the stock market, past success is no guarantee of future glory. I am sure CT is probably just as unhappy as the pi's but the big promises are just that at the moment. We all know money is in short supply for bio's so a company has to produce something startling to gain traction. Dest has a lot going for it but it needs more meat on the bones to get that elusive deal, that'll take much longer, the market doesn't like waiting, that's why they are where they are with the sp.

My earlier post on 15th April has proved me right, more kicking of the can, cannot get a deal that satisfies the company, nearly two years now! CT may be happy with the progress but his appointment hasn't exactly been a light bulb moment.

"That was before that terrible rns. Everybody had high hopes the back end of last year then JW sold and all hell broke loose. CT released that rns which compounded the issue and it's been downhill ever since. Most people inc me expected a deal at the latest Jan '24 but because the rns stated that phase 2 trial might have to be done again people started to be scared and started to sell. CT has not done anything to address people's worries, that says to me the discussions with the companies with a view to a good deal is not forthcoming.

If in the eventuality Dest has to go it alone for the phase 3 trial then a large fund raise will be necessary, that is why the sp is where it is.

They say no news is good news but in this case it's the reverse. Most people's stop losses have been taken out inc mine at 32p which I have stated. If good news happens then I will be back, we all await the update next week to see where the land lies but I fear it will be more kicking the can down the road with promises of a future deal. The market will not like that and the sp could drop further to around 10p. My views which I have said before are that Dest could go private or go on the Nasdaq. To drop from 80p down to this level shows a lack of communication from the board to address people's concerns.

When CT was appointed with Sir Nigel coming back as well everyone thought it was a slam dunk but unfortunately it hasn't worked out as yet and my fear is it won't. GL all, alamo🤘😎"

....the sp is where it is considering the results tomorrow.....could be a bit of a bloodbath, tin hat time as that can is ripe for the kicking unless CT pulls a rabbit out of the hat.

GL all, alamo🤘😎

No comment from my resident friend Brooko.....sure it will come.....wonder whether he still thinks 80p was a good buy in price😊☘️

The state of bio companies raising funds in USA is far better than here. Dest may go down that route and into Nasdaq, could also go private as atm no much investment going in and pretty quiet till results.
