I invested about 1/4 of my annual wage (drip fed from disposable income and savings). The shares are now worth around my annual wage.
On a risk tolerance scale from 1 to 10 my IFA has me at 7, which is about right. Existing assets and savings means my wife, kids and I are comfortable but if this turns into a £10 share then that's a big deal and means that at 47 we can make some different life choice and brings forward future plans.
SGN was 80% of my portfolio but since the RNS it has become around 98%. I'm holding for the time being. It is a big chunk but if it all went down the pan it wouldn't change my life, but …. if the SP goes up in the terms that have been discussed based on an acquisition, partnership or approval then I'd forever be kicking myself for not keeping my hand in on what could be a life changing investment.
I am surprised this hasn't been hyped more in the news …. or am I …
It's not in the media interest for a successful treatment to be found. Death and misery seems to be the order of the day for all media outlets.
The fact that a therapeutic treatment in the form of an inhaler had such a drastically positive effect should have got more coverage in my opinion.
Imagine … free issue of an IB inhaler to all vulnerable people in the same way that Ventolin inhalers are currently dished out for asthmatics.
Exciting times indeed.
Thanks Chris, I guess I'm poised for news like everyone but find the silence conspicuous after such a block buster set of results.
That's interesting. I agree but business is still business and if a company was in talks to buy Synairgen they would surely want them to keep tight lipped while the deal was being thrashed out.
It's my understanding that Synairgen were duty bound to release info on the trial results to the financial markets which we have all seen the benefit of ….. however … I don't understand why it is taking so long for the clinical details of the trial to be released to the professionals?
Any views on this? Or is this now a case of a race to get emergency approval?
Thanks Mr Big.
Good advice. I won't be looking at LSE for a mid to long term strategy for investment, I have a busy life running a totally unrelated business and usually don't have time to do a lot of research … but … Synairgen caught my eye earlier in the year and as an asthmatic and user of inhalers it sort of grabbed me and made me look further into it. I am considering selling 25% of the shares at the next reasonable peak so I have my stake back in the bank and then hold until significant news (either way). At that point I will cash out and probably give shares a rest for a while. But I'm enjoying the ride as it stands.
Hold4results. Exactly right.
I bought shares a few years ago in mining and oil with some disposable income and made some gains initially but got stung because I never monitored them or kept on board with what was really happening. Shaftsinkers was one which rocketed and I never kept tabs on it and the next thing I knew they went bust! Afren too. At that stage I gave up on shares and kept my cash under the mattress.
This time around I am taking it a lot more seriously and I value greatly the knowledge and opinions I read.
Manifesto, a little harsh. I'm a PI with little experience who is picking up a lot of info in the last few months, that's why I posted asking for opinions from people who are more in the know than I.
I have 97500 shares invested in SNG from 35p upwards and am very aware of what I am potentially sitting on hence why I have held so far.
The other share holdings I have are very small in comparison, I was just asking peoples opinions on the market because I have become a tad fixated and fascinated on the LSE in recent weeks.
No ridicule from me SanDiego, just a chuckle :)
ORPH on my dashboard was showing as down from opening but I take your point the share is performing well this week.
I'm mainly invested in SNG but since I've been so absorbed in covid and health stocks I had some small punts on the others I mentioned based on reading on BB's and doing my own research. It's an interesting time.
I've got shares in SNG, NSCI, ODX, FUM, ORPH & GDR, they are all down or subdued today so far.
Any theories on why or is it just the way it goes?
Yes, good sign.
I sort of think you are right wastegatechatter although in this modern world of social media I do think opinions and news (fake news) must have some small effect.
Thanks JoeyD, interesting.
Yeh I sort of thought that. There are a lot of 'experts' on here who seem to contradict each other and there is a lot of emotion and hype flying around.
I guess it's understandable because we all feel we are in a privileged position to be sat holding shares in this company at this moment in time.
I find it interesting even if I sometimes come away from the chat not having learned anything !!
Relative newbie and still learning how this all works.
Do the MM's follow these sorts of chats to gauge their next moves? I read about rampers and de-rampers but I wonder in reality how significant these activities really are in the scheme of things.
I kept all of my 100k shares which were bought at an average of around 60p. I actually kicked myself for not selling 25% when it hit £2.30 to get my stake back and I may still do that if the SP gets into the £2's but I'm staying in for the long haul.
I guess so. Anyone who bought at yesterday's low and sold at the close made a killing.
A lot of big sells at close last night, just short term traders taking advantage of the afternoon rise?
