Twix my friend, just my opinion but their is a good possibility that CooperD is either Rees himself or one of the BOD. I believe at this current time of low trades, poor comms and a recent drop of 20% in the SP no PI would praise the company like CooperD does, nothing has ever been less than 100% with YG since he’s been posting on these BB’s.
Hopefully I am right because at least Rees and the board are seeing for themselves the frustrations from investors. My advice to you is if he’s fizzing you up just ignore him.

Lol @ CooperD, panic? I can’t speak for others but just for the record I am not panicking, I have been invested here longer than yourself and am watching this play out so how is this panic?, I just have opinions different to yours.
If we’re (your quote) “above 50p by Xmas” then I’ll say openly you know what your talking about in the investment world, until then I’ll just stick to my thoughts and ways of investing.

Onwards we go.

Positive posts or not we’re all entitled to an opinion. Rees, the board, the employees past, present and future, the brokers, the shareholders, the institutions etc can all read our opinions from this BB. They may LOL, be angry, upset or just don’t give a s**t but this is the power of the internet and social media and it’s here to stay.

Anyway regardless of todays SP at stumps yet another disappointing day just 23 trades & 310,274 shares traded @ 50K, less than a single PI holding.

Onwards we go.

Sorry one final comment.
Great well worded post pacman1, agree 100% apart from your second sentence.
I don’t have time to read all the RNS’s as I start work at 7am but I watch videos of CEO’s being interviewed and think if only, I watched a video tonight the CEO from EQTEC he was offering figures without being asked by the interviewer.

My closing comments for today .........the markets don’t link uncertainty and with Yourgene and Rees uncertainty is very apparent hence the suffering SP. I’m convinced if any other company of YG size posted 19 new posts in a week or so the shareholders would of been briefed.
He knew this influx of positions was coming 3 weeks ago when he presented the update, why the secrecy? doesn’t make sense.

bakky, nothing against you my friend but what Adam Reynolds says is irrelevant (like my comments) it’s just his opinion, they’re all in it together he’s hardly going to say he’s useless.

Onwards we go.

Thanks Pacman1.
I really don’t understand how Rees thinks he will attract new shareholders and increase the daily share trades with his King Jon-un style, that said is he really bothered about us minnows while he still has the institutions on his side, no doubt they are keep briefed regularly.
I would really love to know why all these new positions.

Onwards we go .

Yes 19 bakky but in my opinion I’m not sure it’s something to be proud of, once filled that’s between 25 & 30 positions since the Summer. A company of Yourgene’s size will not operate efficiently or effectively with that high percentage of new staff over a short period.

If Rees thinks all these positions are necessary why didn’t he make a big deal out of it and give the shareholders a heads up with reasons and numbers at last month’s update, other CEO’s would of. I have recently rewatched his few rare media appearances and it seems he doesn’t know numbers.
I have tried to find the video where he once mentioned an MCap of £500 mill but that video seems to of disappeared. Rees mate your losing the plot.

Onwards we go.

Any for a new CEO ?

All directors and the company secretary (x5) share the same surname, turnover more than YG with less than half the staff.
Probably fair to say they promote themselves as a business a lot better than YG.
Rees if you read this bulletin board my message to you is get your finger out, your not impressing me at all.

Nice one Dan, safe journey buddy, whilst out there Rees will finally give us a few actuals including a date for NASDAQ listing and we’ll be 50p on your return.

Onwards we go.

Danvestment quote “can’t see lab technicians earning 50k”

Ok, well I assumed my figures as follows. I recently found out the salary bill for our company and divided this amongst our current total number of employees, I was surprised how high the average salary was. Nobody in my department earns anywhere near the average at our company however our company is similar to YG where 95% of the staff have a trade.
I then concluded (you mention lab technicians which they have no vacancies at present ) that the technicians are all HND/Degree qualified and put them on a minimum (even Manchester) of 35k - 38k, I then added my assumption for the 75k - 100k guys (jobs advertised) then concluded 50k as an average.

I’m not just bashing the company unnecessarily, this is how with some knowledge I came up with an average of 50k.

We all know it costs around double to employ with sick pay, holidays, pension, NIC, private health etc.

Danvestment, point taken re face punching. Regarding my point on staff numbers/ salaries etc this rightly or wrongly is a strong concern of mine (time will tell). Problem is with these BB’s if you post something that’s either seen to be half negative or could be seen as controversial very few give you airtime or discuss your views probably because its likely to turn aggressive stuff like it does here with some of Twix’s posts.
I personally don’t see these BB’s affecting the SP, as you know some right sh*t gets posted on all BB’s. Whilst on BB’s I have never seen this BB so quiet as it’s been this week.
What affects the SP is results, promotion and a solid CEO, right now I’m not sure we have these attributes (just my opinion).

Anyway onwards we go, it’s up to Rees and co to prove any doubters wrong, if they do the investors will be here whatever is posted, trust me.

Bakky, I really hope your right with the news, that said unless we have numbers this week I doubt we’ll see the SP moving. Most of the posts on here are Covid related which hasn’t done anything for us SP wise as yet, we’ve had very few core business posts over the last few months. Tbh although I have lots of views I don’t not what I’m waiting for next, RNS without actualises won’t do anything that’s been proven time and time again.

For me it’s 1) profit 2) promotion of the company with numbers 3) takeover 4) NASDAQ listing.

Onwards we go.

P3T3R Agree with your figures of 20.7% since start of the year but when you look at companies that are well promoted like Greatland, Pantheon, Open Orphan to name a few our figures look very poor. In my opinion Rees needs to get in front of that camera more, if he believes in his company why not boast about it, others do.
Regarding profit, I for one was very surprised to see a deterioration in the EPS this time round, I was quietly confident of at least a break even.

Which moves me on to my next observation, Rees has decided he needs all these extra staff, 11 new vacancies on the YG website with probably between 6 and 10 positions already filled since the Summer, only a few of these are advertised as short term contracts.
My observation here is these positions come with a price, agree Rees needs to speculate to accumulate but these positions are not low salary positions.
I’m thinking on average 50k per position, it costs double to employee someone so £100k x 20 employees = £2 Million on the wage bill minus what income each employee will make the company, it’s usually a around 33% but some of these positions are overheads.
I haven’t looked to closely at the top table ( BOD) yet but promotions have been happening through the year, I am concerned the significant increase in wage bill will hold us back from making a profit this time round.

Not sure I can agree with you bakky, all listed companies in the world have buyers and sellers, the only reason the sellers affect YG SP so much is because we have so few daily trades meaning the MM’s are in total control.
Let’s be honest it wouldn’t matter if the SP was 16 p or 18p the daily trades would still be within 25 to 50 a day range . The problem is Rees not promoting the company. Like I have said before it’s like going into a supermarket and the bargain of the decade is on the top shelf in the furthest away corner from the door.

Clear of 50p by the end of the year, so I’m told.
Onwards we go.

I’m not defending Twix here and I will say I don’t agree with Twix and his aliases, but I have to agree with Twix re his 17.34pm comment. CooperD regularly done Twix down when he commented on a vaccine towards year end/early 2021.
CooperD is always very positive on this BB so much so I sometimes think he’s Lynn Rees himself. On October 1st when the SP closed at 21.25p Coops predicted an SP price of 40p+ before Xmas, since then we’ve gone backwards 25%, ok still possible but very unlikely imho.
CooperD nothing against you buddy but Twix’s prediction has come to fruition yours has yet to.

Onwards we go.

Must be one of the easiest shares for MM’s, YG trades mostly within a small tolerance band in terms of daily trades and quantity of daily shares traded. The SP regularly gets manipulated up but mostly down during the trading day then lifted back to no change at the close.
At this rate they could be furloughed until Spring.

Onwards we go .

Probably one of the easiest shares for MM’s, the MM’s know the small tolerance band of share trades per day and quantity of daily shares traded, these sharers very rarely fluctuate outside of the band. Regularly the SP get marked down during the day only to bring them back to no change at the close.
Without naming, somebody said earlier this week why did I sell some, well I reinvested in Baillie Gifford American B, Baillie Gifford positive change and Fundsmith equity, took a day to transfer over, yesterday after day 1 I’m £629 up, ok not massive but not bad for the slice of YG I sold.

Onwards we go.

Jeez, just 27 trades today within the allotted 8 1/2 hour trading day, with the SP at a bargain price I really fail to understand what’s occurring here.
Would love to hear the views of people as to why (and today is not an exception) so few daily trades. Three trades per hour is ???????

Only positive today is 2 reasonable after hours buys.

Onwards we go.
