perhaps somebody should send him a share price graph to put him the picture

Th carrot of JV's and funding has been dangled in front of us for years. The only way is if somebody with deep pockets can see the future for Iclaprim and takes a leadership role in the company by taking seat(s) on the Board. I suspect that the reason we don't have a "deal or JV yet is because GL does not want to relinquish control. I hope the main shareholders are properly hacked off and do what is needed to save the company and its drug.

I think markets are looking for a weak jobs number providing further pressure on the Fed to ease rates or at least back off raising them. The Fed was too hawkish and failed to take the impact of tariffs on the US economy into account. This message will be pulled by the censor within 5 minutes.

I was merely observing the lack of soothing words and or interpretations that's all.

the cheerleaders have vanished. too bad really

If you are out thanked the advice to yourself thank you

Thought they had found a bit of a bargain in Iclaprim which just needed a bit of work and some repackaging to submit to the FDA. They have been found out and now look like a bunch of wide boys who have fleeced a lot of investors who bought in in good faith and on the back of the glowing CV's. They have shown themselves to be arrogant and lazy and have betrayed the trust many had put in to the company. Over the next few days we will see what the institutions decide to do.

Were we not led to believe that the company was working hand in glove with the FDA? It strikes me that our BoD is either extremely arrogant or in over their heads. Any "issues" should not still be outstanding at this stage in the drugs development. We will get more pouting and a hang dog conference call and load of inane questions from US "analysts" I like to thinks this is a good long overdue drug with a genuine need but to date the people we pay to deliver have not shown up for work.

should cap rate rises

Its best to move on Nucky. Nothing to see here.

busy again this morning! Cant talk about thew nationalisation threat to the banks.

don't think they have orchards in Venezuela so we won't have them here either. Like there we will have nothing.

what? Its a function of supply and demand. Plenty of people can afford to buy as there is no shortage of incentives to do so and banks such as Lloy are only too happy to lend to first time buyers are people moving up the ladder. The Govt has made it increasingly difficult for the buy to let sector and has gone after the foreign speculator. The housebuilders have been in a purple patch pretty much since 2009 and defied all the doom-mongers ever since. bank's loan books have become healthier over this time as the latest release have demonstrated. Sound you are trying to make a left-wing oriented political statement here.

Its difficult as a value investor to keep clients onside when things move against you. There are similar situations occurring currently in the fixed income as well equity space. No surprising given the headwinds investors are facing: trade wars, internal political issues in the US slowing growth globally, an over hawkish Fed , the Eurozone economic mess, Brexit , Middle East tensions and the oil price etc etc. Clients eventually run out of patience and start switching lanes as they do on the M25 as they see "better opportunities" elsewhere. Its norma top see rotation at times of peak volatility and I know for a fact right now client service execs are racking up the miles in an effort to buy time with their clients. As the saying goes " misery loves company".

21.01?

we don't let the side down with Trumps visit over the next few days. he surely is not everyone's cuppa but its worth remembering what our alliance with US has done for peace and prosperity and the reality that 400000 americium lives were lost in ensuring our freedom and the liberation of Europe from the German fascist super state.Corbyn has already shown himself up for the tool that he is and I hope its stops there,

IMO theology buy backs have been and are meaningless is contrast to staggering dilution we the shareholders endured during the financial crisis. At current rates it will probably take 50 years to make up for the State supported ro&gering. That said it is remarkable how this bank has been able to survive and even prosper given the politically motivated burdens it has had to carry. Brexit resolved, this'll surely be a keeper. DYOR

Indeed ! But most frightening road I have ever driven ! May as well char about something pleasant as house builders are just getting kicked around randomly in Brexit chaos. Best not to try and outsmart the pro traders and bots believe in the fundamentals and pick up the divi. Dyor and IMO

maybe you should take the M4 on a "road trip" to France and do a spot of wine tasting! I have just come back from doing that to Burgundy. A lot of fun good food r excellent wine tasting and smooth roads. Its wirth doing for that alone!

I thought i said he/she? in my reply to Trump/stockmarket and its impact on the Lloy SP? maybe we should move onto the more gender fluid Dobberperson ?

yeah it was probably that twitter account with the "reliable source " again.
