We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
Grateful to all those knockers who have enabled me to invest my ISA money for 2024/5 with more FUM shares than I anticipated this morning.
If those sellers were genuine investors then clearly they hadn’t done their homework properly and don’t understand how Futura operates through the Distributor network and whose wishes as to client confidentiality are paramount..
For those seeking “ instant gratification “ may I draw your attention to the 3 Day Aintree Meeting
starting tomorrow with the Grand National on Saturday.
Who knows you might make enough to buy some more Futura shares to put in your ISA !
Good luck all long term FUMSTERS.

Acer,
If punters give the management a “ real challenge” over a firm date for the launch in the U.S. then they won’t know ( or want to know ) that FUTURA are not responsible for the product distribution or advertising.
That is solely down to HALEON so any announcement on APRIL 10 on a U.S. launch date will be most unlikely unless it’s made by HALEON .
However we should get a reasonably accurate indicate as to sales of EROXON over the first 4 to six months of trading in Belgium and U.K up to the end of
2023 all made via Coopers.

We should get a limited indication of potential profitability on April10 regarding the approximate 6 months sales of EROXON.
However all details regarding the U.S. launch will have to come initially from HALEON the appointed distributor

Nice idea Acer but don’t forget you have got to be out of the market for 30 days before buying back the same shares - have you got time ?
A lot safer to sit tight ?
Futura got a mention in HALEON’s annual report ( page 10 I believe) so presumably HALEON will be announcing when the long awaited U.S. launch will be as they are responsible for the USA.
Might an investment in HALEON be a good idea in addition to FUTURA ?

Comments in the National press City sections appear to have been totally lacking , presumably too busy talking down the economy to have noticed a major disrupter and potential world beater .
What a pity.
smart move by the new p.r. people with announcing the availability w.e.f.march 1 on the nhs. on st. valentine’s day.
how can a company specialising in products for male erectile disfunction be anything other than successful when employing patent agents named
withers and roger’s ( shouldn’t it be the other way round ? ) and having on the p.r.team a man named will han**** .
nice one futura !
Bandit1,
You speak with such authority, of which former FTSE 100 company were you a senior executive ?
Mr BARDER must be very grateful to you for your advice but he doesn’t seem to have done too badly so far !
Well said the DARKY HORSE !
Good to know that there is at least one sensible regular blogger amongst the seemingly flock of headless chicken .
No-one has been forced to buy these shares, if you can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen.

I agree with both Bucolic, Martinelwick and The Italian regarding trading .
Yes, it makes sense but at present there is a degree of risk with things finely balance and I am not sufficiently brave to risk it at this stage of the game.
IMHO the Chinese have long left the scene and it is far more likely to be a U.K. fund manager disenchanted with the AIM market , cutting losses & departing the AIM scene.
If that is the case then he may well be throwing this Bonny baby out with the bath water !
Good luck all fellow long term FUMSTERS.

Not only a great endorsement but totally blows the gaff on a considerable number of those negative comments on the Boots website which were obviously fallacious.
Clearly a considerable number of satisfied customers for Boots to have made that award.
Well done Futura, Boots and Coopers who are all responsible in their different ways.
Fully ISA’d - up Fuzzy, mainly with FUTURA.

The share price of FUTURA is being adversely affected by the general malaise and despondency permeating everything throughout the Media at the present time.
What has been achieved by a tiny company after years of hostility , errors and adverse publicity is quite remarkable and its change of fortune and exceptional success to date is something that
should be shouted from the rooftops.
Unfortunately long term investment is being actively opposed by a GOVERNMENT,CONSERVATIVE IN NAME ONLY and which is likely to be succeeded by a Labour administration which will do all it can to penalise any form of wealth creation.
Why should anyone invest in a company for the long term however promising, as Futura undoubtedly is , when any profit made will be taxed at the individuals highest rate of tax when the shares are sold ,or his family is charged with the iniquitous IHT should he die .
I am aware that FUTURA being an AIM company is subject to BPR at present but for how much longer ?
Speculators, day traders , call them what you will , are happy to take 10% profit on a regular basis where the chances of HMRC discovering every transaction are fairly remote and this must have an adverse effect on the share price as far as private medium to long term investors are concerned.
Until such time as someone of merit in the City section of the media is prepared to draw the
success of this remarkable BRITISH company to the wider investing public then I’m afraid that us long term FUMSTERS are just going to have to sweat it out.
Let’s hope that not too many of us pass on whilst we are waiting !
GLA,
Arturo
Interesting point Martinelwick but surely no RNS required ?
FUTURA is involved in the manufacturing of the gel NOT SALES OR DISTRIBUTION.
That is down to COOPER in Europe and the U.K.
COOPER is a privately owned company and as such is not subject to Stock Exchange disclosure rules .
Cooper certainly seem to be doing a brilliant job at the moment.
Roll on next Monday but it’s a shame that EROXON sales will only indicate two months of the six month interim period.
Good luck all long term FUMSTERS !

One of the problems of living in a capitalist system ! There have been complaints about EROXON being TOO EXPENSIVE and yet clearly someone considers the product is SO GOOD that there is money to be made by making a turn by doubling the price !
Not terribly good for BOOTS, AMAZON or even FUTURA but blows the gaff on so many of those critical comments which are clearly fallacious and a deliberate attempt at bad mouthing what is clearly a highly successful product in many people’s estimation .

Thank you for YESTERDAY’s suggestion BUCOLIC but tempting though it might be, I have too much regard for my RMWs to want to soil them.
Wasn’t it Boris who said “ You can’t polish a turd “ ?
For those of us who are hoping for sensational news regarding sales of EROXON when the Interims are published just bear in mind that there would only be a maximum of 2-3 months of sales not the full 6 months , even if COOPERS are prepared to disclose them, so it will only be a very basic indication as to how things have started off and up to the end of June.

Excellent news this morning which should put all those naysayers to the sword once and for all.
Haleon, last years spin off of the retail division of GSK, is a highly regarded FTSE 100 Company which has jumped at the opportunity of extending its considerable OTC clout in the USA with what is certainly a milestone agreement as far as FUTURA is concerned and won’t do HALEON any harm either who’s share price is a little down on its initial launch figure.
Easy to be wise after the event but some of us should perhaps have realised that with JOHN CLARKE, FUM’s chair , and the excellent KEN JAMES both being GSK ‘ old boys’ there was a connection between FUTURA and HALEON well worth expanding.
Forget detrimental or adverse comment from supposed dissatisfied purchasers many of who’s
Comments appear to be suspect ,the fact of the matter is that a highly regarded FOOTSIE 100
Company sees what it likes in FUTURA realises the enormous potential and has acted accordingly .
Good for both Companies and Good for BRITAIN when we all need a bit of good cheer.
Well done J.B. and his team and also all long term FUMSTERS who have kept the faith.

As if this morning’s first RNS wasn’t enough the second one puts “ the icing on the cake “.
All long term FUMSTERS fully recognise the part that Lombard Odier have played in supporting Futura over a long period of time. By exercising their options their support not only continues but also eliminates the need for any further cash calls in the near future with the injection of £4m +.
Don’t be in too much of a hurry to take profits, with FDA approval in the bag there appears to be a lot more to play for.
Well done JB. and the FUTURA team.

As we creep ever closer to what all us long term FUMSTERS hope will be a satisfactory decision by the FDA, have you noticed , on another BB not just a slowing down in out put by a certain party , but also the removal of the logo beneath his name ?
Have he and his team been kicked into touch by his paymasters and contract either cancelled or not renewed ?
Many thanks HANRATTY, you have done us all a good turn - nothing like getting an unbiased opinion from the man at the coalface . Had hoped to be able to get an indication of sales at BOOTS GATWICK SOUTH TERMINAL last week but was running late and the place was a mad house but would hope that BOOTS will ensure plentiful supplies of EROXON at all airport branches with holiday demand in mind.

Quite agree surf1.
Someone of DR HILARY’s reputation has far too much at stake to have made the supportive statement he has made unless he was entirely satisfied as to its efficacy.
Sadly I am one of the 40% for whom it doesn’t work But that has in no way diminished my enthusiasm for the product, in fact quite the opposite as I have invested my 2023 ISA money
100% in FUM.
Good luck all long term FUMSTERS !
