Yes, watched the video and very reassured. I was really meaning phase 3 of cancer / PreCision in a few years, if there is such a thing.
Apart from Eve which I'm keeping I have other things I could sell and buy more Avct (and hopefully Angle when I have more to invest) but I know I have enough in Avacta to do very well for-me anyway, and I've sold things in the past (to move somewhere "better") and then the original has done very well without me. I'm thinking of Ilika IKA batteries there particularly.
I'm a slightly older dad and have school run now but nice talking to you all today. Have a good one, and GLA.

Many thanks for your time writing that Wyn, it's very interesting stuff..
As you said earlier, we'll know a lot more where Eve is headed in around a week. (Avacta perhaps too. I still have much more of my own money in Eve but have benefitted from Avacta's recent climb. I don't have any spare to add to either now but my Avacta is catching up with (as a % of my pf) Eve which I actually see as 'safer' in many ways, as the need for 100% of people to need to sleep won't go away over the next 18 months, and nor will I have to rely on a new sleep product that may or may not get phase 3! – that IS the gamble).
ATB, D

Wyn, I know your gambling theory, and thought of a counter the other day when cycling!
Whenever I leave the house, cross the road or cycle 10 miles, it's a gamble whether I come home. So far, after many years of walking and cycling, I've always come home (though occasionally bruised!). That's not the kind of gambling – betting the farm on a roulette ball – that I think you mean. By doing your research (as you do more than most) one moves share dealing ever-so-slightly closer to the 'gamble' associated with taking a bike ride rather than putting your money on red; I believe there's a spectrum of gambling and shares are at the dangerous end but not 'pure' chance.
If you do your company research what you are doing is the equivalent of donning on a hi-vis cycling jacket, and if you place a 'stop-loss' you put on a cycle helmet to shield yourself from the worst outcomes. I do wear a cycle hat on the road but place no more stop-losses as I've found people come and take away your AIM shares!
Are you always on AIM shares? Footsie 100 haven't proved safer than AIM to me and are a lot less likely to do very well..

If Eve go profitable and the sp goes somewhere into double figures, and then a suitor arrives, we'd all be looking at a healthy profit. If eve were selling mattresses and 'night clothes, oils, candles, books ,hot water bottles. bedding, audio sleep books hypno-therapy, bed linen' and maybe much more, now that Debenhams and BHS have gone, and people like an alternative to Amazon (which started off selling only books), even a small piece of such a big pie would make 6.2p/6.8 look crazy :-)
I do worry about CC leaving, and I also used to worry about her getting covid! Lets hope she gets her jab sooner rather than later. I remember people selling all their Eve stock the day James Sturrock left and she took over, not that long ago. The sp fell. As it happens it was not only 'not the end of the world' it was the beginning of a new world - though not entirely of CC's making.
She may get poached but equally people in her position may like the chance to really turn something around and into a big force. This could be her best chance. And she could do very well financially just by staying put.
There are so many possible scenarios. I do 'like Eve as it's not a pharma and I'm glad to have the balance in my pf.
Incidentally Wyn; friend did buy 'sky's the limit; just £500. And like Username she's finding £500 was not perhaps enough! These shares are pretty addictive things; let's finish on something no-one would here argue with!

By way of comparison, this is us against Simba:

We know we had an exceptional November, but they did even better. And we are tracking them rather than closing the gap. We are doing well – much better than we realistically could've hoped for 12 months ago – but we have a-way-to-go. I'm excited that the new products will get us there. They seem to be our advantage in my own view.

Username, one was an idea someone else is selling (and they liked that!) but the other is something we are currently trying to buy (grey bean bags with a little Eve label - for daughters) and they didn't like that idea for Eve!
But yes they were perfectly happy to reply which is a good sign.
Already 133 TP reviews for March and only 8 days in. A lagging indicator (as Wyn would call it – if he believed in TP!) I know but the peaks are also reflected in the website traffic peaks on similar web (a bit less lagging there) so maybe there really is something in TP reviews.

I did write to Eve with a couple of ideas for products; they liked one but not the other. They are going to discuss the one they liked at a product meeting. But the reason for my post is that this sentence formed part of the reply:
'still plenty coming this year in terms of product launches to further support our existing categories and dip our toe in the water on new concepts'.
Sounds good to me.

Nearly forgot that tonight is the deadline!
Avct 199p
Eve 5.9p
SGN 167p
TILS 103p
IKA 185p
One of them I hope to own soon.. Prices are from HL tonight; not sure if that's the base everyone is working from.
Thanks for organising the comp.

Perhaps unsurprising after the 'sales' but traffic to their sites down on January levels.

But I take encouragement that France is still above December levels. UK back to December levels though above Sept and October.

Duvet = Couette in French
Just happy to share if I find something Username! ATB, D-G

Eve Sleep is one of the best-known bedding brands on the internet today. With two successful mattress ranges and well-known and recognized bestsellers, Eve shines. Especially at the British brand in addition to the 100 days of free trial, the mattresses also offer excellent value for money. However, in addition to good mattresses, Eve also offers many sleeping accessories, including a range of Eve duvets.

The British brand was launched to reconcile sleepers with their purchase of bedding. With its good prices and obvious comfort, the brand has succeeded. Two titles of "Best Mattress Choice" from UFC Que Choisir after, she proudly sports her range of duvets where the choice is rich. Unlike her competitors Emma and Simba, Eve has chosen to display comfort for all budgets with 3 ranges for 7 models, and it works!

The complete Eve duvet range
As we said at the time, some rivals like Emma have chosen to present only one single duvet. This is not the case with Eve Sleep, which ultimately displays 7 different duvets for 3 distinct ranges. You will find at the English bedding giant online 4 models of seasonal duvets (Eve Microfiber duvet), 2 anti-allergies models and finally 1 Eve Gonflant duvet (or Refuge), even more upscale.

Without further ado, let's see what Eve has in store for you through its 3 ranges. Of course, we will study all models from all angles, namely in terms of price, comfort and benefits displayed. To find out more, you can read our full review of Eve and her mattresses here.

I'm not sure about me but you certainly should!

That's a good point Wyn. I did tell her that they'll be a bit of buyer's regret, when she sees her £500 is suddenly down to £475 with the dealing cost and the spread.
Incidentally, I'll be back to G4M again soon, after picking up a moderate profit there. I just moved it somewhere else after the results (but can't exactly remember where now!!).

Many thanks Wyn. I shall send her a screen grab of your thoughts! I do have some Angle myself (small investment so not a worry at all, but am down) and seemed safer to recommend Eve or Avact as both seem very well set from here. I shall hope to top up Angle after April 6 as there should be plenty of time.
I just want to make sure friend starts off with a bit of a profit even if not the biggest.

Wyn, a long time friend of mine is dipping her toe into share dealing with £500. I feel slightly / mainly responsible..
What do you think, buy Eve or Avacta, to guarantee a profit without trading?
(Apologies to others for slightly off-topic, and no intention to ramp Avacta at cost of Eve.)

CBD: I remember when Red Bull came along. Expensive and selling like crazy. Health scares too. I really couldn't understand why people wouldn't just drink a strong coffee. Red Bull was (and remains) very fashionable; pays for their F1 exploits too and really just strong caffeine unless I'm (still) mistaken.
It makes me think that if CBD is – and remains – fashionable, Eve might actually be onto something..

Or team up with RMS and have CBD nano-particle facemarks (and get me out of a 'paper loss' on RMS!).

Hi Genius, I think that article got things a bit wrong and I posted it a little tongue-in-cheek, but you never know I guess!
On the TP side we are already at 75 reviews in March so no sign of losing the Feb momentum so far. I know they come in batches but actually that tends to mean there are delays in posting whereas there's actually a bit of a flurry.

'We are already seeing a rapidly liberalising environment for CBD-based health products and related products (e.g. the recent boost to Eve Sleep stock when it announced the launch of mattresses impregnated with CBD oil to assist with sleeping)'

No, no candidates in my mind at all.. It just crossed my mind (because of Eve) and then thought I'd post, perhaps get ideas from others. It saves money I think and if there were a suitable candidate, why not.
