Irene - with respect I have already answered which chronic diseases OPTI is tackling in earlier posts, namely Cholesterol and hypertension, diabetes, all of which are linked to strokes and weight issues. These may not be chronic for you but I can assure you they are for sufferers. R&D is essentially over as far as OPTI is concerned for NOW. Sacco WILL pick up the baton here as per RNS. FOR NOW, it is all about running with existing products, building revenues and establishing global brands. I am sure OPTI have other area's of interest but frugal management of existing funds is priority while building revenues. You can't compare apples with pears.

Irene - You are a quere one. I can't make my mind up if you are asking genuine questions or mischief making. In any event, you need to look up chronic diseases. Chronic diseases are significant causes of illness and death. Common chronic diseases: Asthma​ Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)​​ ​Diabetes Mellitus​​ Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)​​​ Lipid disorders (e.g. high blood cholesterol)​ Stroke​ Chronic illnesses have a serious impact on individuals and on society in general. They affect the quality of life of individuals and can be a financial burden on those who are affected.

Come on Irene Come on Irene Ignore Poor old Walter Mitty He's a sad get on the BB But he moved a million hearts in mono IN HIS OWN MIND Our mothers cried, sang along, who'd blame them You're grown (But Walter Mitty has not) So grown (so grown up) now I must say more than ever Come on Irene Too ra loo ra too ra loo rye aye And we can sing just like our fathers (after a few troopers) Come on Irene, oh I swear At this moment, you mean everything You in that dress, my thoughts I confess Verge on confusion Ah, come on Irene Come on Irene

Irene - the following link may help you gain a better insight to the gut bacterial micobiome. The past 5 years have been an especially rapid time of discovery, thanks to scientists studying the gut microbiota. http://ow.ly/NNB430f7RfD I neglect to point out chronic diseases; LP-LDL (Cholesterol products) High cholesterol is associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease. That can include coronary heart disease, stroke, and peripheral vascular disease. High cholesterol has also been linked to diabetes and high blood pressure. There have been plenty of RNS's about LP-LDL Weight management - SlimBiome Overweight and obesity are known to increase blood pressure. High blood pressure is the leading cause of strokes. Excess weight also increases your chances of developing other problems linked to strokes, including high cholesterol, high blood sugar, and heart disease. SweetBiotix similarly helps reduce the issues associated with the above. Your brain tends to get foggy, especially after a meal. This fog is a common symptom of low blood sugar. When you eat a lot of sugar, your blood sugar levels rapidly rise and fall instead of gradually doing so. "Poor blood sugar control is a major risk for cognitive issues and impairment. Insulin is a very important hormone in the body. It allows glucose (blood sugar) to enter cells from the bloodstream and tells the cells to start burning glucose instead of fat. Having too much glucose in the blood is very harmful and one of the reasons for complications of diabetes, like blindness. Same caveat as previously - I'm not a doctor.

Primal - my old mucker. Be thankful for them. they unwittingly open up the doors for rebuttals. It's all good sport. I am sure like me you have noticed none of detractors have picked up on what Max has said and digested it. If nothing else, it further demonstrated their very limited vision for spotting a key niche area and spotting these is key to making real gains, not speculating on short term price movement to pinch beer money for match day. IF Max has not jumped the gun, OPTI will now have commercial deals with TATA for; SlimBiome, GoFigure brands and LPGOS. Would you wager against a commercial deal stretching into SweetBiotix? It fits into the TATA strategy.

A lawyer has a says......don't ask the question without knowing the answer. Glad to be of service. :)

Walter - Think about it for a moment. Like you (without thinking due to lateness of the hour) I thought what is Max doing? Surely that is RNS worthy. But hang on....is it? Isn't it old news dating back to December and Feb! Yes it is. The only new info is Max's expectation GoFigure will play a part in the TATA deal.

Irene - I think I made myself clear on the accounts front - in that I am NOT an accountant and thus have a very basic understanding of them. I am looking for cash burn, what is needed to see it through to profitability, a history of raising funds and not delivering, etc. The tangibles, intangibles etc confuse me as much as the next BBM. When I spoke of IP value, I selected one of OPTI's eight; LP-LDL. I used LP-LDL because we have a benchmark valuation by using Chr Hansens LGG strain. See the article I posted. I'm sure you would have picked up what Chr Hansen paid for LGG and perhaps drawn a financial comparison with OPTI market value. Had you read, digested and understood the key area's where I pointed out OPTI's LP-LDL is more diverse, superior, thus potentially more valuable in the FUTURE, you may perhaps begin to understand what OPTI have on the books in terms of strong IP and future value, and LP-LDL is just one of eight. I understand why some peeps are distracted with current market cap and revenues, etc. I am not and have stated why many times. We all have to make our own judgements. The detractors have their view and I respect it for the most parts, apart from the obvious BBM baiting peeps for sport. LP-LDL has dozen hybrids if you like. For example, have a look at the latest deal with TATA for LPGOS. I'm staggered you have not understood OPTI is not just about weight management, though you single this out which ironically, is expected to be the lowest revenue driver out of; LP-LDL and SweetBiotix, as example. If you are talking of hype, then again you have missed understood the area of excitement. The hype as you put it, (as far as I am concerned and those I speak with) is LP-LDL, NOT weight management. Microbiome is a buzz around the world and it is precisely because scientists now believe the gut is the second brain and has real impact on our health and there is a race to better understand it. OPTI are ahead of the field in this respect, in that they are already producing raw ingredients that are heat resistant and can go in pre and probiotic foodstuffs and have a real health benefit backed by science and peer group acknowledgements. Per recently said he had meeting with several companies with Sacco ahead of the Las Vegas exhibition. Note for example; "this is overpriced" or this "worth 7p" there is NEVER qualified. It's just a BBM statement and somehow we are expect to go, oh no perhaps they're right. I think I'll sell. Then you get stupid comments like, you should wait for the low 60s before buying, then hey presto, it's worth 7p. The thought process of a goldfish springs to mind. I grant you, the science is a big hurdle to get over and grasp, as is the new products in new markets with companies many of us have never heard of. There is a saying, if you don't understand the company don't buy it.

Wolf - You're a good sport, you really are. You make me giggle like school girl sometimes. You have so much to learn. OPTI never seen 60p today - check the data you numpty. The lowest they traded was 63p. The 60.5p were placed shares with an insti or with someone with a little more front than you.

LOL - Showing your naivety there. They were clearly placed in safe hands, otherwise we may have been closer to 50p. Now DE is out, we can look forward to news and a more positive trend up.....fingers crossed. ;)

Theres a cottage industry in TW trolls. I wonder how profitable it is?

Irene - very disingenuous of you. Peeps have been very patient and answered your questions, you don't don't understand the answers. I bet you will still be hung over the market cap after reading my previous post which provides a link to a very good example, if I do say so myself.

Irene - I would say very confident. The market cap v revenues is road well trodden by bears, as well as those that don't understand the value the IP has on the books. So, I'm tired of it because I have put forward very detailed case in terms of real value by using OPTI LP-LDL as example and that of Chr Hansens purchase of LDD (SINGLE STRAIN) which cost them more than OPTI which has 8 strains and all much more diverse. mORE ON THIS HERE https://goo.gl/LNuxbh IMHO when the market wakes up to revenues streams and realise as I do that there is no additional costs associated with growing revenues stream, the market cap will be significantly higher that it is now, BUT this will not be just based on the revenues and profitability, the market will attribute real value to OPTI's IP.

Irene - Don't buy, walk, simple. Bye.

Primal - the irony seems lost of Korgi. He has nailed his value at 7p, (without venturing any logic to it) so at some point in the future he will most likely suggest he bought back in at low 60s, which would have been against his analysis. Oh, forgot, he must be one of those traders we keep hearing about.....don't they use charts! ;) Anyway.....got some lovely new box of crayons.

All good fun primal. I love Korgi the dog's 7p valuation. Imagine the analysis he must have put into that. He won't dare share his wonderful analysis of course.

No Walter, I mean care in the community. Do you seriously think I have influence over anyone? My wife, children and pet dog take no notice of me, so what chance of I of influencing people I don't know! I am not qualified to offer advice, nor do I pretend so. OPTI is the most exciting company I have come across, EVER, which is why I like to discuss it so much. You seem to be offended at this behaviour. Here is some advice for you, get on with your life instead of worrying about what nonsense I have to impart. You're a puzzlement. You claim to be a trader, yet come across as some jealous school girl upset teacher has a new favourite in the classroom. You see, most people would be pleased someone has the ability to talk to the CEO, share info - after all, knowledge is key to making the right call, is it not! Unfortunately, LSE has no filter, so you will just have to trust when I say I have wasted enough of my precious time on you. Fun thought it has been....like having too much cake. Ta ta young man.

Just I we all suspected....all wind! Yes, I'll be pleased to update as and when. I at least make a contribution to the investing community. You on the other hand seem to specialise in being a keyboard warrior. You must be a valued member of your community and family. Take son.

Lol Mr Walter Mitty. If it helps massage your over inflated sense of wealth, I'm pleased for you. Don't concern yourself with my position, I am not easily frightened into jumping in and out hoping to pinch some lunch money. Lets see just how good you are.....tell us mere mortals the price of the your next trade within a few minutes and then again the sell. Lets not have any of this hindsight nonsense - BB's are full of traders with hindsight. Official figure state quite clearly over 80% of traders lose money....I guess you and Korg are the exception to this factual statistic. If I had a hat..... So Walter....put up or shut up. What's it to be? Buy - Date time, size Sell - Date time size

King-tut - You of the branch as Korg, Wolf and countless BBM's. You don't even talk a good game, you make no sense, you never put up a serious bear case, just ramp allegations without actually identify and putting the ramp case forward. You trade, fine, no issue with that at all, but don't try to create the illusion Walter Mitty is a successful trader, because the stats are not in your favour - Fact! I don't any issue with people trading, I do take issue with their BS prognosis based no little or NO understanding of what it takes to build a successful business with new science in new markets and then having to stupidity to suggest I as clueless as them. I know for a fact had I attempted to trade OPTI I would have made little headway. However, buy hold and accumulate has been hugely profitable with plenty more upside. In the 3 years since my punt, OPTI have derisked 3 of the 4 main science platforms, a fact you may not like, trust or see. However, here is another fact....your lack of vision also helps make a market in my favour, not yours. You say don't bother with me, but you couldn't help but mention me by name. Uhm....follow your own advice!
