Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
I’ve sold my entire holding.
Sorry, to clarify, I’ve sold the small holdings I had in other companies and now gone all into Synairgen.
Still wishing the time away for results to land but my belief in Synairgen is stronger than ever.
I have an emotional investment in a lot of things - towards my marriage and my football team for example - but I can still make reasoned decisions on those things.
You can go too far and lose control of your emotions which leads to impaired decisions but I’m not at that stage.
By nature humans are emotional beings. We like to think of ourselves as cold, calculated investors but I maintain we all have some level of emotional investment here. If the trials bombed and the SP dropped to 10p tomorrow, and you can genuinely cut your losses, shrug your shoulders, move on and not be disappointed or questioning your own judgement then you really have no emotional investment!
Next it’ll be a Vic Reeves style frying pan over my head!
I’m not scared about losing my investment - of course that is part of investing. All I’m saying is that I don’t think it should be asking too much for a further update beyond early 2022.
Even Dr Mary asked the same on Twitter - I’m sure there are many interested parties out there eager for an update.
The irony that yours is the most childish post this morning surely can’t be lost on you?!
I would say most of us on this board have an emotional investment in this share. In fact, I would say 99% of investors have an emotional attachment to their investment. That shouldn’t stop you being objective and making reasoned decisions though, so don’t pretend that being emotionally invested is a bad thing.
WF - my problem isn’t that they didn’t appear today. My problem is that I have no idea when they’ll appear.
Of course I’ll deal with it but its absolutely nothing to do with paranoia and everything to do with having a wife, kids, expenses and pretty much all my savings invested in this share.
I didn’t want to start the week off on a negative but can’t be the only one feeling this way…..
We were told back in October that results would be early 2022. Now I’m sure there is loads going on behind the scenes but would it not be possible now to be a bit more specific and let us know what is going on and when we can expect results?
Yes, the odd tweet here and there is welcome but we’ve been down this road before with the “imminent” start of phase 3, updates on progress and home trial results.
Of course I’m going to have to just wait it out because I believe in the company and product but really wish we could be kept a little better informed.
Putting on my tin helmet for responses!
JWD - so mild that it still causes tens of thousands of deaths worldwide on a daily basis.
Also, by your own short sighted logic, Covid-19 shouldn’t exist. It’s milder just now in a triple vaccinated person, but a few years ago if you told someone to stick up on treatments for a pandemic, they would have laughed at you. Things can change very quickly - new disease or new variant, governments will want to have any potential treatments available.
We all know that money is what drives the share price. Excellent P3 results will take the SP so far in anticipation of orders. Confirmation of large orders would be what sees this fulfil its potential.
Similarly, even results not being as spectacular as we would all like wouldn’t be disastrous if we still get orders following these.
Ah well, another day with no news.
I didn’t think we’d be at the end of January without hearing anything but such is the way with Synairgen.
Just need to keep reminding myself that it’ll be worth the wait and hope it lands soon.
That was my thoughts too Plaza.
I see it as further positive news for us but if anything a little embarrassing for Synairgen with it coming so close to results and there usually being “no leaks” from within.
People are only human and to be honest, if I was in the same position I would be hoovering up shares!
I don’t disagree HSD but I think that’s where discussions about joint ventures and licensing deals then come in.
We all know that money talks and if governments were looking for big orders and throwing enough cash at it, there would need to be a strategic rethink to make it happen.
I’m not sure that you can call trying to predict when an RNS which was promised in early 2022 tamping.
If you do, then surely subtly hinting at it being much later (March/April going by some of your posts) would be de-ramping and so you can understand why some people might not like the narrative you try to bring to this board.
Quoting the Motley Fool really lacks any sort of weight so we’ll spare you’re embarrassment and gloss over that.
The RNS will land when it lands. There are people with life changing sums of money at stake so you can appreciate why they are excited and urgently anticipating the results. If that’s not your thing then you do have the right to remain silent, not comment on those posts and not get involved - and that’s coming from someone who didn’t guess the SP and hasn’t yet signed up for the party.
