I had a long talk with CG at the recent London Investor show - in fact it was the last of the day for him and me - everyone else had packed up. I have always had a lot of confidence in his abilities. Having said that the sp has been pretty dismal these past years - with regular placings almost every year - awaiting the completion of the forever delayed blessed factory - and the resultant price dilution. But, one thing CG said this time that I haven't heard him say quite so confidently before and that is "we can sell everything we produce". It's no longer finding the buyers but getting the marble out of the ground asap. I really can't see a retrace in the SP any more - I'm looking to a steady upward momentum from now on IMHO.

Truro Trader - what constraints are there re. last year's placing ? Also, did you have a view on why there has been roughly 2,500,000 share sales the last few days with no effect on the SP.

The first time in many years the stream of contract news has been so intense. Dinoken makes the excellent point that this contract brings work through to 2026. I'm now more hopeful the market will also recognise the potential of the group and we'll see the sp re-rated before too long.

He has a lot to prove I think as the mood music isn't going to plan - is it ?

Today's RNS has a much different feel and augers well for the sp in the short term. Could be the upward turn we're all seeking ?

That is a difficult question to answer as the answer I think lies solely in Stephen O'Hara's mind. He has teased us all about some payback but as the time since the sale gets further away, I don't think he can start looking back to that date. It's more likely now that some payback could come by special divi ? With the final results next month, perhaps that's when an announcement might be made ?

Riskassessor - it would certainly be nice to look for 8p - I think I'll join you ;-)

Thank you Elrico for the chance to read your extensive report on Optobiotix. It was a very good read - much appreciated. I saw Stephen O'Hara at the London Investor show - he gave me a good 10 minutes of his time - he's very positive isn't he ? He has a clear vision of how he wants to progress the company and I don't think the market is aware at all of his growth plans for each of the divisions - and one day spinning them off like Skinbiotixs. This is the kind of share I'd rather be invested in more heavily than I am - unfortunately I'm nursing some mistakes elsewhere. Thanks again.

Hopefully you are right Adastra - sp ticking up slowly although I'm surprised there hasn't been a bigger move given that nigh on 7 million shares were purchased in less than an hour on 19th. That seems to have gone under the radar ?

With two Price monitoring extensions late this afternoon, I guess there must be something afoot ParanoiaBlue. I would like to see something Positive - pleeease !

Reflex - I agree with any of your various options. They are all possible and despite the possible gloom from Chartists, I believe the sp should rise - it's more of a question - little or lot !?

Agree with you GCCR - all plausible arguments indeed. There is only one negative on the horizon which is - how long ? The wait is almost like tossing a coin with it constantly coming up 'tails' everday.

Sorry - not �28millions - meant to be �20,800,00

It is now 9 months since the fund-raising at 6.5p - then commenting on the interim results for the half year to 30thJune2017, the BOD announced: Quote: Accordingly, the Group expects to deliver full year results in line with market expectations. In addition, the Board is also pleased to confirm that, following admission of the 336,101,128 new Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Fundraising to trading on AIM becoming effective at 8.00 a.m. this morning, that the Fundraising has now completed, raising approximately �20.8 million for the Group, net of expenses, which will be used primarily to help fund the Group's acquisition programme. Endquote. Since then, we have had indeed some tantalising news along the way with a few contract wins and completion of one modest acquisition. So, what's gone wrong at top board level ? For indeed it has in my opinion, you don't raise �28 millions for primarily acquisitions and then go quiet for so long. I shall continue to hold my shares because I've been in since the Corac days and also I believe they are ludicrously cheap at this level - but shareholders I think deserve better explanations why the money was raised.

TPG has gone under the investor public's radar - good financial figures due to be reported soon are what will lift the SP now - either that or news of acquisitions.

As a LTH, I think the BOD were complacent in their news management in recent months. I worry that there may be discontent in senior ranks if the SP doesn't get back to or close to the 19p/21p level it was when the Woodbois entered the scene. Remember that this time last year, this is where the sp was and asset acquisitions were based around these levels. It can't be good for morale, nevermind anything else, to stay at this low level for much longer.

Agree researcher1 - after recent Director interview with SBTX (OPTI holding 42%), we could yet be positively surprised on that front too.

Dinoken's earlier comments will find resonance with many other investors. I'm certainly a LTH, but the lack of follow-through and weakening sp, has tested my resolve too.

It is a surprise I think the recent SP weakness - is it possible the results may be disappointing ?

I haven't looked on the website for a while but was really impressed with the new look and positive content. Mixing metaphors, this company is surely a smouldering volcano - sooner or later bound to see fireworks. One wonders why the SP doesn't reflect the seemingly obvious potential ?
