...or even 2025!

Quiggers, you seem to have take up the position of lording it over the rest of us, who are you to tell someone to sell their shareholding?

Maybe we're not all as wealthy as you and, after a disastrous period of high inflation, need dividend income to eke out a meagre pension?

As far as I can see, AET are awash with cash and I would like some, waiting for any significant increase in share price is going to take more years than I've got left

Buy backs are an investor's graveyard, they need to commence declaring a dividend

Strange day, a blizzard of RNSs but hardly any shares traded, everybody just hunkering down?

Maybe this RNS just a bit of strategic flag flying to the wider market, i.e. letting everyone know there's 54p on the table, if anybody wants to better it?

Very disappointing otherwise, been a holder since 2013, was hoping we'd be looking at an offer of £1.54 by now.

Based on the fairly positive results, the drop seems bizarre.

Wonder if folk have placed orders to auto-sell at (say) -1p and this triggers a bit of a free fall, stopping out other folk at -2p, etc?

Once this is all thrashed through, maybe a recovery later in the day, meanwhile some will be nursing stop-losses/unintended ejection?

I was curious as to local Angolan ministry office hours, signing of agreements and subsequent issuing of RNS vs UK time.

...post BST, the Angolan time of day is exactly the same as UK.

As above, for personal financial planning purposes, has anyone got a guestimate as to the timescales for the first dividend cheque?

The (admittedly small) dividend of 0.74p was paid 20/10/23

Always useful to have a reminder of how the ex-dividend date works:

"If an investor purchases shares on or after the ex-dividend date, they will not be entitled to a dividend payment."

As noted, expect extreme share price volatility over the transitional period, often more so than the actual value of the dividend payment.

Yes, should have said SBTX need to update their own website.

Otherwise, from the TR-1 issued 31 July 2023, OPTI holding 27,190,639 shares or 15.7%

If so M, SBTX need to correct their own website:

As at 31st January 2023 significant shareholders that hold more than 3% of the share capital of SkinBioTherapeutics plc are detailed below

OptiBiotix Health Plc

32,402,206

18.71%

Up 17% today (OPTI 18.71% shareholder)

Indeed, now 5 in the morning and up for work but just thinking along the same lines and a similar age to you.

During the 90s, some major ups and downs investing but got to the end of the decade relatively unscathed. Since then, the main London market has done nothing but trade sideways (for what is now the best part of a quarter of a century). In the meantime, the housing market has gone into orbit (fuelled by ultra low interest rates and 20 million migrants).

Casino AIM has been an unmitigated disaster. Also, well under water with OPTI plus big loss of opportunity income if I'd stuck to dividend paying stocks.

2017 in general seemed like very poor year to invest.

In case anybody's been looking, aquis has changed their weblink to the PBX trades:

Compared to the rest of the rubbish companies on AIM, I’m often amazed why the ECK (a dividend paying, albeit small cap, with cash in the bank) shareprice struggles to make progress

I was a TW podcast subscriber for while and agree that his prediction of "dogs" was always better than his identification of "winners".
In the end though, I just concluded that identifying dogs on AIM wasn't a particularly hard thing to do (as that's what most of them are or eventually will be).
Indeed, AIM is just a disastrous money-pit for most investors.
TW himself, and his general comments on life and stuff, I always found quite engaging and amusing.

I'll believe all the hype once the first dividend cheque lands on my doorstep.

Today's RNS, Abrdn doing a bit more stake building
