Just a very small point, but one i feel like making anyway. Your contribution has been superb, particularly to me in recent months, and I find myself reccing your posts, maybe because after all these years i understand far more than i ever did. The only blight, which includes me too is the repetively boring posts where we get embroiled in spats which are avoidable.
This is just a small example, part of a post i made just a few hours ago, where i said................."".Good points made by all, and we haven"t really considered a four letter word, simply ""luck"". In the very next post you opened with..............."".No Luck involved """. I just wonder why you felt you needed to say that?? Luck is something that plays a vital part in everything we do, and however good the Science may be, elements of luck will be needed to see us through to commercialisation, and we know how much what we do and how we go about doing it can influence just how much ""luck"" we get or conversely how we can create barriers which block the opportunity for luck to fall on our side, at that moment in time, the best example i think was whilst gathering wonderful data from SCIB 1 Trial the market was so cold to vaccines.
No need to reply to this, it is not a criticism, it is a small point, but to me and we have seen it happen how using words loosely can create conflict the type of which we hope to avoid. Your post was excellent just didn"t need that comment.
I think this week has been a good opportunity to redress the balance here, it is not that some of the negative posts have no basis to be made, but made without balance i.e. ignoring the positives that do exist IMHO is pointless, as indeed ignoring the negative possibilities is against the positives. It was a balance that needed re adress. The debate as to how we can value our company was very useful which i am sure many of us frustrated by how hard it is to do would appreciate, i know i did.
The funding issue has again been at the forefront of debate, I just find there are many compelling reasons why a non dilutive fundraise could well occur, against the reasons given for why it won"t, and stress the basis for one posters crusade was his own personal stratagy, nothing else. Nothing would please me more than to see 5p as our springboard to recovery, we have certainly seen us bounce off it a few times already
Until we get more news some will look to get out of this share as many have (at the right price), some will just hold, some will add to their core holdings as they have, and i feel many are wanting a bit more certainty before building a stake. There have been so many good posts this week, many reasons given for why ""dilution"" is not inevitable, as Ruck says, and where i can see dilution having a place is after a first commercial deal, trials starting, trials being given timelines and any further factors which may take us back past the teens where funding will enable us to raise in a far less diluti
