Just looked in here before popping out to the shops and I now see posts about fathom inanancos.
I disagree with the earlier post, perhaps the better option is to block and not attempt to take down someone you disagree with.
I am quite annoyed that the frustration directed at inanaco has resulted in claims of multiple lse accounts and people so wound up they are seeing inanancos everywhere. If it causes so much grief it's better to block and stave people like inanaco of the attention they crave.
I don't think anyone losses anything by blocking anyone else. If any of us genuinely needed to read the posts of anyone on here to inform investment choices I would say they were out of their depth and invested in the wrong share.
I am looking forward to a relaxing Sunday where I can read some intesting posts without going over the top if people disagree with each other.
Eyeguy, I think the truth is more mundane. He is just a show off who feels validated by parading tech talk.
Self worth comes from within, if you look to others to give you validation you will never find peace with yourself.
I don't usually go in for predictons, but looking over the ups and downs over the week I am pleased to see that %movement seems to be tailing off and we appear to be stabilising. As yesterday was a 7-8% down I am going to dare stick my neck out and predict a 3% up today.
Not sure what next week will bring, but if we are stabilising and the spread closes up a little I will likely leverage my profits from selling half my holding last Friday and increase my holding again. Gla.
Got to admit I don't get BC201. It's not that I don't get the need for a sars cov 2 vaccine or the benefits of being involved in developing a vaccine. It's more that I am just confused by the big claims of Donald trump that there is a vaccine good to go and that the pace of developing a vaccine is just so far out of step with my current understanding that drug development takes time. Certainly not knocking BC201, but I am looking at it as a bonus to the day job.
To get back to BB's original question I would say that AIM is not really a good vechile for investment.
The key issue being higher suseptablity to market manipulation.
As such AIM attracts people looking for big rewards on big risks, but really that is gambling rather than investing. So the risk increases the longer you hold the stock as drop is more likely the longer you are holding.
That said genuine investors will be looking to establish if there is genuine quality. If so, AIM offers a genuine chance to make big money as the company will still have a lot of growth potential and it will take years to maximise that potential.
The key is to be honest with yourself and know if you are a gambler or an investor.
Why have I lost on Val? Because I was the former when I invested.
Not sure if it follows that a sell off is comming. The volumes can't stay at the levels they have been, rather I see a drop of in volume as a good thing at this time as it will allow the SP to settle at a support level.
For a sensible post see SG's post yesterday at 19:23
I don't think ramping and deramping are partically effective and only work in combination with rapid sp change.
I have made the mistake of listing to other's opinions, buying on tips (the biggest mistake) but also listening to assertions about what the future will bring. I was thinking of selling out of another bio tech 8 years ago when it started a dip, but I listened to "That"poster" and their predictions. I was brought down by hubris and it was a real shame that others felt the consequence of hubris on Monday and Tuesday. P
It's for that reason I am such an advocate for dyor and not looking for tips from others.
I think it is great that there are a few posters on here generous enough to share expert knowledge, but if you are relying on expert knowledge to inform choice then this is probably not the share for you.
I noticed a week or so ago 'that " company had a wobble in its upward trajectory and had a few days of double digit% ups and downs. Yesterday was good for Val , but if it goes down today don't panic, things will settle down as the week progresses. Good luck today all and here's hoping for another blue day.
Hi Grace, really good to see a sensible and measured post. You have a knack for saying sensible things just when they are needed.
You might be right and others were expecting a clear and concise RNS, but I would have that would have been unrealistic expectation at the best of times. So many variables when testing on people.
Viera, good post, but in my opinion George's assertion that "it works" does as much harm as good when it's cited.
It might be true, but under what conditions? I saw the video of that presentation, I wouldn't put too much stock in the assertion itself when the company is being pitched to investors.
I do hope that it does work, but I think citing the results and trial details are much more effective in establishing that fact.
I was pretty confident of a bounce yesterday, I feel the same today, but it's been 2 rough days so I guess it can still go either way today.
The sheer number of posts on here the last couple of days suggests panic and nothing good comes from panicked trading choices. Hopefully today things will be calmer, people can take stock (no pun intended) of what's happened and the SP can find a level at which it can consolidate and we can start moving forward again GLA.
Inanaco, if you think Val has nothing to offer it sounds like you are not invested.
In that case why are you posting here? Kindly go back to the Sclp bb and stop trying to worry the sheep.
You are more numpty than wolf.
Spiros c, I think you are right, a lot of people looking for a quick buck and when it didn't turn out as expected its all tantrums.
I respond to the posts that catch my eye, but it is overwhelming at the moment.
I tell people to dyor (as I always have) and the very next post is someone asking me to divulge my wisdom!
Think I will call it a day now. Hope we all have a better day tomorrow. Gla
Whereas I can understand the belly aching over losses it seems to me based on the number of people posting at the moment that there are a lot of people who have purchased shares in Val with a weak understanding of the company, the number of people in the trial and how to value the sp. As such it seems that those same people were unable to evaluate the claims of what the SP was likely to be when the update was released. Its a shame but it is always much better to do your research and form your own opinion rather than relying on the posts on here alone.
A few weeks ago I was reading posts about what a friendly bb this was.
All it has taken is for expectations to be dashed for you all to turn into savages!
Nothing has Fundimentally changed why not take the rest of the day off and let the dust settle?
As much as I want this to go back up and a little frustrated by the nonsense being posted on here today.
I don't think this is going to go down much furher so if you are looking for an entry ponit here it is.
As for leeks about JVs, please just belt up!
Either way things will get back on an even footing sooner if the nonsence stops sooner.
Eyeguy, 25% up sounds excessive, but a 40p (ish) sounds about right to me as I think this has been oversold and there was news of substance yesterday, so this could be a big bounce today.
I did notice the big value buys and sells. Not too fussed by the sales as they were quickly absorbed by the buyers.
More important is fact that there were big value buys which means that the big boys haven't sold out and are running for cover, rather they are taking advantage of the dip.
If they buys had all been tiny I would have been worried (smaller timers calling it wrong and compounding the error) but this isn't the case. Gla
I found this article this morning
https://pharmaphorum.com/news/valirx-eyes-partnerships-as-first-val201-study-hits-the-mark/
Most others have posted it, but it is good to see that the results have attracted some media attention.
Looking forward to a better day today. Gla
