The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
....has this board descended into, seriously?
Still in here and expected a choppy week tbh. Those still in, keep the faith and don't get put off course by the playground spats on here.
No immediate concerns here, and anyone who holds this share for more than 5 mins will be rewarded. We've been this price before several times, but if you're still unsure then get out on the next spike, as there will certainly be one sooner rather than later.
JB clear by Friday, win. JB back buying, win. JB back on the board, win. JB walks away and Glen left to run the ship, win.
Nervous hands, relax and hold.
GL all invested.
I was in the same position as you, so decided to jump in today and bite the bullet as there is so much news due. Bought in at a smidge under .70
I almost bought in at 0.43 and had a live quote and didn't pull the trigger as I was convinced it had to run out of steam......then it just kept going :(
Luckily made up for it in AMGO!
GL.
Can't grumble at today overall. Nice to have a bit of stability in the SP to be honest. Plus results were better than expected, and there's been no further hand grenades thrown so far.
Hopefully a solid base set, and we build from here. Plus as others have mentioned, only 8 or so trading sessions before the 1% selling pressure ends.
Well done all still holding or bought in. Enjoy the weekend....and all shorters and scaremongering ****s get fecked.
That's the crazy thing, you could lose your house over it and also get ruined further by the loan company if they found out why you couldn't repay.
Not a risk worth even contemplating, but also hope it works out too. Just sell as soon as you break even as others have said.
What's the craic this afternoon, mate?
Anyone see how L2 is looking too?
Cheers.
Fair play, £50k loan against your house is berserk. That's one hell of a bet lol.
It's in auction
I am absolutely landed with that RNS. Today is gonna be epic!

JB got my vote too, unless the board/RNS tomorrow has something outstanding for us, which I very much doubt.
Much more measured response from him this time. Just disappointed he put a ceiling on the buy back share price. To me that hints a bit that's all he sees the company worth at this stage, but that could just be my reaction to the wording.
No idea what the market will make of it. Hopefully a nice gap up, but not calling any SP after the MM's smashed us back after the last announcement.
Still, I'm glad I'm still holding.
A nice few ice cold Guinness for me or top shelf Molotov ****tail. Dependent on what the special one blurts out!
Good luck everyone.
I am locked in too.
Feels like the last scene in the 300 film. Hoooooold!
Bottom link it is
Vorag - thought I was seeing things, but that Top AIM stocks pump and dump tw#t is using your exact post on Twitter https://t.co/mYzPYqkKf9 https://t.co/JPrxtzzXAC
...I have no idea what this is gonna do tomorrow!
Also, when do you think he will announce? Will it be after close tomorrow when he is officially at 9.66%? Or will it be intra day when he tips the actual 10% mark?
Kindness is not the issue here.
How many accounts have we all seen set up and their first post being on the AMGO thread, with scaremongering, crazy predictions, nonsense or just plain stupid? Comes a point where you just get totally p!ss£d off with it.
If he is genuine and doesn't feel comfortable then sell and put it in national grid if he's not comfortable with the trade or potential volatility.
I wouldn't be calling someone smart ar$e if I was a dull twunt lumping 40k on a blind trade.
Bonkers.....
I made good money in the run up to 51p, getting in at 32p. Mistake I made was then buying back in at 47p when it pulled back from the 51p as it looked like it wanted to kick on again. Just never happened. So long way back for me.....but not a loss unless I sell lol
Shhhh.....don't swear mentioning CPI. My worst performing share by a country mile. Only not cut losses due to the pending ESS sale, and I will defo be out of that dog then. Just lucky I'm up on the rest of my portfolio!
