My mistake I bought 18,979. NOT 32,000.

I too had a little top up (only 32,000) this morning. Whilst the Business side of things has not been great (historically) although improving. The science side has always been top notch. Next bit of news should be science related and so every reason to think it will be positive. There is always a risk but in my view there is huge potential on the upside. If SP drops at all I'll top up. It feels like we re fast approaching the end game here.

Elcap

Back then there were many of us LTH's who were positive. **I meant to say WERE NOT positive

Acker - I sold out of PREM yrs ago at a substantial loss. I remember you from those days. Fair play you are still here after all these years. I hope you are well.

Ican't remember if you were positive or negative on PREM. Back then there were many of us LTH's who were positive. I doff my hat to you if you have hung in there all this time. Hopefully it pays dividends for you. I doubt there is anyone on this BB who has been here as log as you. On that basis I would like to as kyou what's your take on where this is going in te next few months. I broke golden rule yesterday and bought back in.

Cheers

Have broken one of my golden rules that was never to go near George Roach company again. I've dipped my toe in with £1000. Will see how the land lies in the morning before committing more.

IS this the right time? I hope so.

Elcap

When you consider the size of potential market a deal could quite easily be in the £1B - £2B range. However we would have to ace Phase II trails for that. Realistically as it stands right now any offer of £500M or above would do it for me. Whilst I think £500M would be on the light side, it would be enough for me. I've been here for well over a decade. A bird in the hand and all that.

TBH I long for the day I wake up to an RNS with offer on it.

Elcap

**** news warty. certainly puts things into perspective. good luck to you and your wife.

I can see both sides of the argument. Yes the board are more leveraged than us as it is there livelihoods etc at risk. I do beleive in the science and I no one forced to buy shares. Ultimately SAR should be very successful. However, as brilliant as the science is the BOD have been absolutely woeful at PR and managing the business side of things. With the science being as good as it is, they are in effect 1 yard from the goaline with the ball at their feet and an empty net in front of them. I still back them to get the ball over the line but there is a nagging doubt in my mind that true to form they will still fluff the opportunity. To be fair it should be now infinitely harder to miss from where we are than to score. But over the last 12+ years I have seen a couple of golden opportunities missed and they have also managed to score a couple of own goals.

Going back to the subject of the BOD having a lot more at stake than us. That is true, it must also be recognised that they have been taking a fair salary every year and will continue to do so. Every year that ticks by derisks their position bit by bit.

It is frustrating and I still very much believe in the science. It is also my view (and has been for a long long time) that they suck at the business side. The BOD have a massive blind spot in this regard. It is wrong to sweep that under the carpet. I am still a believer and I will hold and top up if the SP drops below 12p.

Not even the SAR BOD can miss from 1yard out (I hope). TBH I don't think I will ever get over the RF debacle although I am trying to not hold it agaisnt them, it's hard. I am very much trying to keep a balanced view. I would be happy with a 10 x today's share price. Mortgage is up in 2 yrs 2 months and I want to pay it off in full. 10x SP plus other investments/savings/pension one off payment (tax free) almost gets me there. 30x SP gets the mortgage paid in full.

There's a lot to play for. FFS they just need to turn the unbelievably huge potential into reality.

Rant over!!!

COME ON SAR!!!!!!

Elcap

My 2 pennith worth is:

I don't understand the negativity. It looks to be another positive RNS and it feelsvery much to me that we are being lined up to be sold lock stock & barrell.

And an RNS on a Monday morning is very unlike SAR. I am reading between the lines and could be a million miles away, but my initiall reaction is hugely positive.

COME ON SAR!!!!!!

I bought in to GGP just after share price dropped to 6p a few months ago (25,000 shares), I have averaged up since then and now have 72,500 shares qith average of 9p. I was burnt by PREM, EUA & COPL over previous years and swore never to buy into mining company again. But it was tipped on the only other share I hold (SAR) which I have held for 10+yrs. SAR has been a journey of few ups and lots of downs. (Just like GGP has been for LTHs. Hopefully both will now reach their potential.

Over the last 11 yrs of investing I have had more downs than ups. Most shares I have ever held is 7. Always seemed to buy at the wrong time. I have learnt that I need to stick to one or 2 shares and learn as much as I can about them, and don't get greedy. I am a gambler at heart so always stay in to long and don't take profits when I should.

Now I have a target. And that is to pay off my mortgage. I am 52 and I want to be mortgage free at 55. I have recalibrated from wanting to be rich to wanting to be free from the yolk that is a mortgage. I will top up when I can. If I lose the money I have invested then it's not the end of the world and if the 2 shares I hold come good then the moment I hit by target I'm out. I will top up as and when I can but I won't be selling a single share until I hit my target. I want to retire by time I'm 57 (I'd retire tomorrow if I could). Life is too short and you can't take it with you. I found GGP beucase a LTH who I have grown to respect in that BB over the years tipped it. about 4 months ago.

Hopefully this comes good. Reading the other stories on here helped remind me that for all the playground antics of many "loud voices" on here, the majority of us are normal decent folk struggling to get a leg up in the world. For our sakes I hope investing in GGP pays off. We don't deserve to be successful anymore than the top 1% but we don't deserve it anyless than them either. My grandparents all worked till they dropped just to make ends meet. My parents also had nothing but managed to do well enough to enjoy at least 10yrs of happy retirement before Alzheimers etc kicked in. There is a high probability I will be follow the same Alzheimers path (as that of my Dad, and all of his brothers and his Dad). I want to be able to enjoy as many years as possible before that happens (if it happens). Life is too short.

Elcap (Ps. this is my first post on the BB since I bought in). GOOD LUCK ALL.

Having slept on it my view is that: I do not believe this is a lifestyle company for the BOD. I truely believe they are doing their level best to bring all 3 molecules to market. It cannot be dispute that on the science front they have performed exceptionally well, and for that they deserve all the recognition and praise we can give them. Parker has pulled a blinder getting SRA737 back at the price of the legal costs only. These next months are crictical I think. The 2 billion dollar question hanging over us is can the PR/sales side of the business deliver on its side. PR/comms/commerciality element has been a nagging concern for many LTH's for many yrs. I don't doubt they are doing their best on this front. The question is: is their best good enough. Until they prove otherwise the jury is out on this point. It's almost time (as Adam Ant once said) to Stand and Deliver. 2025 is a pivitol yr for SAR. Hopefully their PR/sales/marketing skills are enough to get the job done. If they are not then I hope they recognise this and bring in the the right people/person with the required skillset. I have everything crossed their best is good enough. Either way something has to give this year. For the record I still hold and will top up when I can. I still believe.

COME ON SAR!!!!

Elcap

P2 trials will not take place in UK.

SAR737 back for basically nothing.

Science on 1801 & 1802 still looks amazing.

It feels like something now has to give iro Sales side as it would appear. It may be that the penny has finally dropped. If not I think the next AGM (which I will definitely attend in person) will be pivotal for beinging in change (if an EGM is not called in the intervening months). Finally it feels as though us Private Investors are speaking with one voice and one message.

So all in all that is my positive takeaway from today.

Elcap

What's incredibly frustrating is that they have done the hard part (the science), but have a blindspot on the incredibly easy part (the sales). Best in class science, worst in class (sales). I too could not believe that they didn't RNS the fact that they got SRA737 back for total outlay of legal costs!!!!!! £100k plus bonus on getting a deal successfuly completed for a great Sales person to come in and takeover sales part would be well worth it. Hopefully they get the message.

Elcap

I didn't copy my feedback before i issued but basically said more "jam tomorrow" doesn't wash. You say you recognise more comms needed but you said that a year ago and nothing has changed. You have got no deals done. Fail to meet your own deadlines. fail to update the shareholders. Paradoxically, I believe in the science more now than ever before, but I am now less convinced than ever before that you have the commercial skills to deliver. Tim said we have all our portfolio in the shop window, that's great but if you can't entice any customers in, or even look in the window it counts for nothing.

They did answer the one about what country they would trial SDC1801 in. (mutiple territories and none of them England). So that was a positive answer. Didn't answer these 2:

Q.How long do the BOD believe it will be before Shareholders see a return on our investment? We are back to the low level of Share price at the height of the Riverfort debacle.

02:28:33 pm

Q. If the Science is as good as you suggest for all 3 drugs is it purely down to lack of commericalisation skills that we have failed to secure any offers / deals / partners?

Elcap

I want to apologise for referencing a different share, I can't remember which LTH on this BB recommended GGP about 4 or 5 months ago. Whoever it was I want to say a BIG THANKYOU. After looking into it I invested. I am now sitting on 100% profit and it looks likely to continue to climb (this is not a across ramp and I am not suggesting anyone buys any). My history in tipping shares is shocking.

But I wanted to say thankyou to whomever it was on here who suggested the share.

Once again apologies for referencing another share on this BB.

COME ON SAR!!!!!

Elcap

I have put my responses to Blockbusters posts (back in 2022) in post below. It would appear Blocky hasn't changed his writing style, still littered with subtle negative connotations.

(Bailiff - great spot by the way)

No one likes a Blocky bottom!

RE: Bottom12 Jul 2022 10:08

Again Blocky. why the concern? You're not invested. If the bottom is not the bottom and only a false bottom, surely you can just top up. I for one am already very bored with your melodrama. Why do you feel the need to ask rhetorical negative questions. They must be rhetorical, because if any of us knew the bottom (and top) we would all be multi millionaires. Therfore you must only be talking to yourself. Even then you can't answer your own question. Jog on!!!

RE: Bottom12 Jul 2022 09:21

Blockbuster - Do you think I should sell some/all of my holding? If it's going to drop further I could by back at a lower price. Alternatively should I buy more? As this could be the bottom and I will make a nice profit when I sell then in the future. - I welcome your thoughts.

RE: Oh dear7 Jul 2022 09:59

Why are you nervous if you are not invested. I would have thought Intrigued would be a better description. (unless of course you deliberately use a word that carries negative connotations). Also, you have said "there's a bit of noise around this share", would you care to elaborate. The one issue with this share (from a VLTH of it) is the absence of any noise. The use of the words "nervous, concerned, risk, no monetisation" all in a post from a genuine, innocent newbie, who not 24 hrs before was asking whether we thought ths iwas the bottom or did it have further to fall. (Again negative).

I for one, don't believe you are genuine, and I believe you are here to sow doubt amongst us.

If I am wrong then I apologise. However I don't think I am.

RE: Oh dear7 Jul 2022 09:38

Blockbuster - yesterday you were asking us whether we thought this was the bottom or whether there was further to go. This morning you are offering sage words of wisdom. Both posts with a subtle but negative tinge to them. Quite sophiscated comments for someone posting for the first time. Where you here before under a different name?

Elcap

Do my eyes deceive me? The SP looks Blue. I had forgotton what Blue looked like!

SP should be much higher. Bonus time isn't for another couple of months, if it's still down in low 20'2 I'll be topping up big time.

Elcap

I believe in Parker's ability to do the deals, especially now he has 1.6M shares. Which for the record I don't have ny issue with at all. If I were in the BOD's position I too would want to be hansomely rewarded. I always thought his low amount of holdings was not right. Now he'sgot plenty of skin in the game it can only be good news. In fact Great news, for him the BOD and us PI's.

The promised land may be closer than we think.
