The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Jesus, Char give it a rest from patting yourself on the back. You make it sound as though 'only you' have been claiming it may take time for the SP to climb to the highs pre-covid. Its simply not the case.
I suspect this is a glitch with HL...
The SP is showing a sell price of 41p, yet indicating a daily fall of 45%. If I tried a dummy buy/sell the prices are 41p/43p respectively (as I would expect).
Can't see anything adverse on Twitter nor ADVFN.
As I stated, I suspect a glitch on HL . Anyone else having similar issues?
Agreed. Why listen to market sentiment, analysts and technical analysis when you have... the power of dreams!
Desert Joe - I suspect you mean 'astrology'; 'the moon is entering uranus' etc as opposed to astronomy.
I must admit I'm not a fan of the sorcery that is technical analysis, I much prefer fundamentals. That said, I'm sure many make a good living from using charts so there must be something behind it.
I'm a little surprised at what I'm reading: Sanchez's well crafted and no doubt deliberately carefully worded post highlights Pdub may 'collectivise' people in a certain way and maybe should consider what others bring to the party. Now, I respect the fact that just because I don't see that as offensive doesn't mean others wouldn't. Yet in his response, Pdub accuses Sanchez of an 'attack that was nasty and unprovoked', ironically this is after calling Sanchez 'over-sensitive' in an e-mail that reads to me as a little condescending (though that may not be the intention) and whereby he tells Sanchez he's 'wrong'. I actually think Sanchez's e-mail was aimed at generic BB behaviours and interactions, not about Alfa specifically, so suspect Pdub has got the wrong end of the stick, but again I could be wrong there.
A few days ago I posted comments on some of the behaviours and culture on this BB (all my own opinion of course), which led to Pdub accusing me of misinformation and indirectly calling me a liar.
Pdub, with respect, I think maybe it is you that should consider the wording and tone of your posts. If your intent is to be, lets say a little 'prickly', so be it, but then you should avoid the hypocrisy of accusing mildly worded criticism as an 'attack'.
I did wonder if it was being forced down to accommodate a buyer, but I can't sell mine (on HL) so guess not.
Agreed AFAG. Good results from a good company with a very healthy dividend policy. What's not to like?!?
Koffee - not sure what your gripe with GGP is but you sound a tad bitter. I can only guess you got in fairly recently and were on the receiving end of the price going down. There is likely a seller, I believe the SP got carried away, the price of gold has declined and the initial drill results from Scallywag were disappointing. Add all of that together and you can explain the drastic reduction in SP. But, there is a shed load of gold and copper in the ground (Havieron). The fundamentals haven't changed - the gold and copper hasn't gone away.
Apologies to all - I'm not trying to ramp GGP, but I'm struggling to see why Koffee is so anti GGP.
Pdub let me start by wishing you well in your fight with ill health.
I won't go through your post para by para but would point out I agree with an amount of what you're saying: I agree we shouldn't ‘trash’ the company (but I hope we can differentiate ‘trashing’ from ‘discussing areas for improvement’). I too am positive about BMN. I agree forum users should highlight the positives. To be clear, as I note you have started a different thread that focuses on the business itself, the crux of my post was about how debating the negatives/weaknesses of a business ‘could’ actually have a positive impact on investor sentiment (paras 1 & 2) and how I personally believe there have been instances whereby such discussion of negative aspects of the business have been stifled, or attempts have been made to stifle/shut down (para 3).
I can only assume your objections would be to para 3. Maybe I wasn’t clear, I’m not suggesting there are attempts to silence ‘all’ debate, but I believe there have been instances when this was the case, and I provided the kind of comments (paraphrased) that I believe aimed to achieve this. Hopefully, this will clear up any potential misunderstanding and lead to the removal of the suggestion I’m a liar. Further, I’m unsure what in my e-mail was misinformation as the majority of my comments were based on my personal opinion of conduct on the forum. If you still disagree with me I can only assume you believe there have been no instances of attempts to stifle debate. This being the case, I’ll respectfully disagree with you and leave it there.
Best wishes.
Libero I would agree with pointing out the positives as this will help attract and sell BMN's wonderful story and potential to new investors. However, any potential investor worth their salt, having read and understood the fundamentals, will possibly wonder why this potential and good news isn't captured in our SP that is currently declining, particularly when much on AIM is forward looking and sentiment driven, and with other businesses in the sector showing an increased SP, along with increasing vanadium prices. This 'unexplained' situation may result in investors holding off, or simply not investing. Understandably, reading a forum for debate such as this may help explain matters.
'Debate' in cordial tones about the less positive aspects, or dare I say the negative aspects of BMN, may actually have a positive impact on a potential investor or re-assure existing investors. Sub-optimal comms is not exclusive to BMN, so hearing of this being the only downside I have heard or read against solid fundamentals and huge potential, would not put me off investing. Indeed, it would allay my fears somewhat - comms is relatively speaking easier to remedy than many other aspects of a business.
However, there are some who would wish to turn us into 'stepford' investors, whereby only the positives can be discussed and anything vaguely negative is treated as voldermort-esque. Rather than provide reasoned counter debate, or acknowledging areas for improvement, retorts such as (paraphrased) "so you think you can do better than the BoD", "why mention it on here, e-mail the company" or "you can either stay invested or you can sell up" is not debate but simply attempts to silence. I absolutely get the idea of not trashing the company you are invested in but this shouldn't prevent reasoned debate with agreement to disagree in cases.
Can I make it clear that when I talk of those who point out the negatives I am not referring to our cycling chum and other such trolls. I'm referring to genuine investors, ie if someone as positive, and one of the first to defend BMN, such as Sanchez starts to comment on a negative aspect, it may be worth listening to as he/she is no troll.
Lol. Smug mode cancelled.
Could someone help me out here, please? Isn't this share dilution? I appreciate the additional shares equate to around 88p (so higher than todays opening SP) but I'm surprised the market has taken to this news so positively.
Apologies if already posted.
Link below highlights govt purchase of more Innova product (followed by scientists [plus that insufferable @rse Deeks] urging the govt not to use Innova). ODX and GAD do get a mention too.

Char, ironically, I think its you that is missing the point: the OP claimed he/she may stop trading RDSB as they were unable to predict the SP changes with any accuracy. The second poster claimed similar investing in BP and RDSB. You responded by claiming that people were starting to get it; there would be no recovery this year (a bold claim 3 months in to the calendar year). You followed this up by claiming you're responding to the Del Boys who claim the SP will hit £20 this year?!? That's not what the opening posters were claiming at all, certainly not in this post. You seem to be arguing a point nobody is making?!?
You've already been pulled up about your strange claims about covid and vaccinations, which again appears to be a case of you arguing against a point nobody has made.
What a strange couple of posts!
Really, AMB?!?
What about if you think the SP is going to continue to decline? You withdraw your money to save losing more/prevent further reduction of your profits. Surely that is a sensible investment decision based on what you believe is going to happen.
To be clear, I'm not suggesting this is what will play out with GGP; I'm simply speaking in general terms.
