Really is a case that if These oilfields were anywhere else in the world with GKP running things production would already be north of 100k bopd and the share value would possibly be over a tenner plus.

Biggest hazard we face is the lying Iraqi oil ministers who despite threats from USA over sanctions have found the pull from the closer Iranian puppet masters irresistible.

Indeed classic example of why more wealth is not flowing into the country, and those in power could not care less either.

More investors leaving this stock with knowing losses. Better that than a total wipe out. I count myself as among that number, only error made was actually believing what CE was telling all and sundry around him back in nov/dec was the truth. Ie: finishing touches just being made.

Clearly either a lie to try and get more investment in, or there is a "poison pill" somewhere in the deal which gets picked up late in negotiations and potential investors then do a runner.

Glad I left here in Jan as already recovered my losses but I feel sorry for some folks here who are still listening to the band as the ship slides beneath the waves. Classic example of how not to run a company, mind you has drawn a salary for 10 years and produced nothing bar long vacations in Crete...business of course....whos the suckers.

Scientific data like that will certainly attract interest from serious investment institutions. They don't rush in at the opening bell but will have planned strategy meeting, and after review and agreement then will start making approaches. might not be today or this week, but it the evidence and proof is there....they will come.

It's 08:40 oleric?

INSG is getting loads of interest from different companies, now they are tweaking the model to suit the customer its become much more appealing as demonstrated by the rapid growth in hard sales. Quite frankly if they could keep up this rate of increase for another year this would be a 4 bagger from today. then double every 12 weeks from there.

Quite a cash generative product which does deliver. Peers in the industry already achieved it, but this company is less known but just as good a product.

Not bailing out with 28M shares, unless the company is taken over. Certainly got off to a rocky start by developing a great product but because not refined didn't attract buyers, however now its more tailored and tweaked to bespoke getting loads of sales.

Whats coming up really is a jigsaw puzzle just got to put them together and you can see the whole picture.

Its not because advanced sales are poor but no figures shown.

Croda is keeping stum, they want to coin the whole market with this "revolutionary product".

We already have a Croda expert on our team. An expert both sides trust.

Crodas trusted top clients already have our product and can advance purchase.

Croda have spent millions getting the production facilities all ready. (don't think its sat doing nothing right now do you?).

Already hearing about potential side effects of some ingredients used in the health industry.

Very beneficial effects of our product with additional enhancements being with held (possibly to 17th April). Shielding it from the market, but some here already know.

Minor leakage of info causing this bull run..havnt seen anything yet.

Stock suppression by down played RNS , and stock sells by SOH.

EU legislation coming in to outlaw high use of vitamin A , many producers will have to reformulate anyway.

Our product about to be marketed as a breakthrough product.

Whole team attending Launch in a couple of weeks.

I've increased my holding yet again..still fabulous value.. and not long to wait...Jam in a few weeks.

And again, one to take a position on for sure.

Hi bigpunt,

SOH used to run this one so I'm sure has his ear close to the ground . Whatever we say of him as a businessman and CEO hes still a microbiome expert, so can clearly see the potential of this stock he holds in this company . I believe his shareholders and I count myself there, would in this case be better off having a minor rights issue than selling our best asset. Most of his shareholders also have a foothold in both camps.

Fully agree MacQ bank have no compunction about selling us out if they see a nickle or dime here, however if you put the two "investment parties" side by side there is no comparison. Macquirie are shrewd investors and have probably investigated the Croda tie up and its full potential, so at this juncture I believe they also see what we see so likely to hold for at least a while longer.

On the other hand SOH is blinded by his own recurring failures, and doesn't realise that his stake here is better than his own poorly run company. Hes the one selling the shareholders family silver.

I believe SOH is telling porkies and can prove it. Also believe his statements via RNS are incorrect.....deep breath here.

From his latest RNS

Post period the Company sold 1,211,567 SBTX shares at an average price of 20p, generating gross proceeds of £257K.

Thats from statement dated March 18th...

but do the maths on those figs....257,000 divided by stock 1,211,567 shares equals 0.212121 p per share on average.(no dealing costs put in) , however he states average 20p, but actually 0.21p, but our share price has not risen above 20p till March 10th, so he is a recent seller.

CEO buying own stock, true "skin in the game". This is really what I love to see. Going to be keeping a much closer eye on this stock especially at current growth rate.

Just might be one of those very rare "runaway performers".

Had it not been for that late reported sell which I discussed early yesterday our stock price would probably have seen a good double digit rise yesterday. This is because there are no heritage sellers left between current price and recent high so normally the upward passage should be swift. Depth of current retrace and volume not really sufficient to make it tradeable, so clearly that blocking sell was placed in very recent trading.

Knowing that resistance to rise would have been very light I'm puzzled as to why the sell was not placed at a higher price, which apart from seeing a higher share price right now would have probably sucked in buying from momentum and swing traders.

"This breakthrough active ingredient will lead the way"

I just cant recall a multinational company like Croda using this kind of language. They would never go to print on this unless they could back it up with solid evidence that is breakthrough technology. Its clearly not one of many showcased products but the star of the whole event.

Always a worry when a very big partner takes your product and runs with it whether they will do a full bells and whistles launch or use it as a way of side-lining potential competition for years.

Now we have a solid definitive answer to that unanswered question.

We cannot easily answer the question whether there are big buyers around who would potentially buy the SBTX stock that OPTI holds. Guess if it was at a fire sale price, probably, but then the buyer would just flip and possibly more aggressively we we have seen already.

However we do know SA struggled to obtain funds back last spring so at that point there was clearly little appetite for our stock then. Reason he had to go to the Vampire Kangaroo and do a bad deal.

This rate of sells could easily go on for years as SOH must hold about 18M shares of ours, but that's with current pre launch conditions .

However things are most certainly about to change dramatically.

We are already hearing snippets and pre launch publications are starting to happen. Hearing about some other highly positive things as well but cant prove them yet. Clearly a major launch is planned and I believe sales when finally announced will rocket using our products which Croda clearly want to utilise to regain global market share and income.

We have already seen pre launch stock buying from new investors, once the launch is over wont be long before news on any orders gets released. We all know the most materialistic way to influence share price is hard sales. Mr.Market will react , and probably late summer but the intuitional investors will also not miss out on any news and will take action, firstly asking SA to sell them new stock, and then probably approaching SOH and asking to buy bulk from him.

Daft thing for SOH now is, by selling limited stock, hes keeping prices depressed which might not then be as high as he could have seen in order to sell much larger quantity to a iii investor, so his actions cost him and opti investors money, while depressing the share price here.

His sells have put a lid on SBTX prices today, which is why they represent really good value so 70k of the buys today are my top ups.

Seems the Croda launch will attack existing formulations from several points.

Our Lysate being natural has no side effects and in itself is very effective.

Overuse of Vitamin A in creams now being outlawed in EU directive.

Lot of nasties in existing creams and sun creams have suspected side effects that can negatively effect the body. This really has a dig at all the competition, as many formulations have a contents list as long as your arm.

They are not just launching our product as a "nice to have", but introducing potential health fears into products that don't.

This increases chances of product success, and signposts that they expect our type of products to become a mainstay adopted one.

Hi sheephatch,

The price should have moved up, hover I strongly suspect its being strongly manipulated by the brokers with a decent sell order sat very close to 22.75p time will certainly tell but we know its SOH. Clearly he stopped the price going into clear blue , but I didn't think he would chase it down as well, with sells positioned to stifle price rises.

Wonder if they will allow questions at the end, and "whether they are finding their clients becoming receptive to product changes and modern advances? ".

Understand your point of view Lordlolly, however that is the past and its great to see that things are changing here forthe better. However should the selling process still continue?? Reason I say this its cost us a large percentage holding in SBTX already and as they do have Croda a multi national on board now very good chance that the growth there will vastly outstrip the growth here, so we do have a good fall back position if things go the way again like they have in the past.

However if the sells continue and going by the mindset of SOH currently it looks that way, we would have sold our family silver so have burned our lifeboats. Appreciate your views.

I believe SOH regards the shares in SBTX as a cashpoint machine rather than a very good investment. I would debate that it s got more going for it than we have here. Yes it has created more shares but its also taken over 2 multi million revenue companies and achieve high growth through those purchases which could provide us with cost savings if he decided to work with SA rather than try to sail solo. We are starting to gain traction here but have a clear list of failures as long as your arm which have not been owned up to, rather massage the figs by fresh cash injection by selling our sbtx stock.
