The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring financial educator and author Jared Dillian has been released. Listen here.
Bit of a strawman fundamentalist PATTSV, it may not appear it yo you but metro, a crap but widely read paper is running pieces on fertility and includes a printed recommendation to myLotus a day after the fertility show, if this not paid for by concepta and there is no indication it is, then the good Dr is endorsing it by the mere fact of mentioning it specifically and solely which meets your first definition, given Concepta only just released the product a couple of days earlier I'd say all told that was quite some coincidence
So Dr Nargund is promoting natural cycle IVF and suggesting it as a safer alternative to drug intensive regimes (which is becoming more fashionable but is less succesful than using drugs), does this mean Concepta is the answer to this? of course not it's a complementary monitor, one of many, but it does mean that the there is now room to apply large scale personalised scientific analysis to female conception in the time before (or maybe instead of) eligibility for use of drugs, there is also new implantable tech on the horizon for women who cant conceive because of the microenvironment in the womb (that conventional ivf cannot resolve) that will allow treatment to rectify in advance of assisted conception that will complement fertility treatment in ways not possible now, so Concepta may well fit into a suite of tech for people that may not be suitable (or can afford) or have failed conventional ivf treatment whose success rate is currently 25%, that 75% is a big market Concepta is well placed to take advantage of
It seems pretty stupid of Concepta to have developed the app just for iPhone, 80% of global handset os's are android probably higher in China, what an oversight
'And if you’re experiencing any problems with your menstrual cycles, it may be helpful to use a monitor, such as MyLotus, to help you track and understand your cycles better, whilst allowing you to share this information with your doctor' says Dr Larissa Corda of CREATE in an article about impact of exercise on fertility, that's right I'm just imagining it's an endorsement iven it's just a passing suggestion by a fertility expert that just happens to work for one of the only clinics that use natural cycle science as opposed to drug induced IVF the latter of which makes up the vast majority of the IVF market, of course I am bitterly disappointed that sharing this info with you did not lead to an instant rise in share price back to the heady days of 23p a share and I will now promptly commit Hari kari

Sorry about that, should work now
https://www.investopedia.com/articles/active-trading/083115/4-signs-penny-stock-worth-millions.asp<br /><br />I thought I'd post this, and there are loads of articles viz shares that were penny stocks that made it big<br /><br />Let's also not forget that there are 2.5 billion shares in issue, pretty ridiculous, if it were an order of magnitude lower we would be at 59p<br />Would we still be having same convos?<br /><br />If we ride out the storm, assuming no workd recession next year, this will fly in 2020 on as predicted
It depends on how much stock they had to start with and who bought it, but if it means people know about this and were waiting for it then it can only be good, it means we are known, beyond penny stockers like us, in the market its aimed for.
If this does take off in Europe dont be surprised if Chinese market gets another look, they are mass copiers and trend followers, many fertility clinics have big footprints in Asia and the mid east
Has anyone checked the website, they're out of stock ahead of the fertility show!
S7, as shareholders the only rights we have is to vote at AGM, this is an AIM stock they can and do what they want, we are lucky that they're reputable but alot of this is down to the shift from a research co to a proper business, I dont think there will be any more hiccups like this again now board are orientated and have direction, Seperately we are not immune to events on the FTSE
Baxter1, you know why you didnt sell? The same reason I didnt and noone else did, we thought it was going to blow, you didnt know it was going to go down, no one did then! So ridiculous to retrospectively lament decisions based on information you have now but didnt then, I dont know why people continue to do this, pointless self imolation
Spindok, I took the 7p option to mean that the CE mark is round the corner, but telling was 7p for 5 consecutive days with a two year time frame for the rest, if it comes to pass my losses will be mitigated somewhat but if two years is the long view on this being successful, maybe, then I think this would be one to keep an eye on from the sidelines imo
I'm not going to have the opportunity to speak to them at fertility show, but I have decided to give it a couple of months for UK and European regulatory approval to come through, if not then Im out, there is barely any info from then on anything and other tech is coming that may well make this irrelevant or at least less likely to reach the market significance suggested in the past
I was just about to dump these shares but the option for just under 2 million shares that can be exercised immediately once the share price is over 7p forced hesitation, any thoughts on that?
I was thinking along more dystopian lines, already in accidents they check your mobile to see if you're on it at the time of an incident, not a stretch to ask for video footage if outside sensors etc record an impact, plus people may ask for video in insurance disputes, if tech becomes ubiquitous; though mandation will make that moot and may well be imposed because of safety benefits
