Korg - I have been the target from more intelligent BBM's than you, you are nothing but sport on quiet days. Do you really imagine peeps take you seriously and dump on the back of your contrite utterings, utterings that offer no analytical value, no real thought process, reasoning behind "placing and 7p" target. You will be proven a bigger fool than you have admirably demonstrated as the price recovers and the revenues come in. Sure more patience will be needed, some of us are realistic and know this and adopt a strategy of accumulating, not trading for the quick profit only to throw that profit away on the next trade. Yes, this is what happens to traders, but don't take my word for it, it is why regulators want more stringent checks to make it's more difficult the average peep to speculate without demonstrating the experience. The days of the BBM running around from BB to BB ramping and deramping their SB positions will be less frequent, it this BBM mentality that has got worse as SB became more common....you are a prime example of this horrible growth linked to SB gimps. Indeed, crying all the way from 15p....pure panic. What should I do with my profits!!

I think Korg is a good sport - It takes courage to play the court jester.

LOL....Someone needs to. There must be some swings nearby ;)

I may be no accountant, Korg clearly is even worse than me at reading the balance sheet, but even I know the cash will last c2 years at current burn rate. But hey, don't allow the facts to get in the way of the bear agenda. Hey korg - here's a curved ball for you....can you think of anything on the books OPTI can use to raise money should they need it without diluting the SP? Tip for you....recent event! ;)

No problem. I gave out incorrect info, so think it's important I put my mistake right. Hopefully, I have done that.

Revolution - I think I have made progress....there are several reference to the 200 stores on ADVFN on 26th Jan. Risky, a respected and well regards poster https://tinyurl.com/y7eq473z more https://tinyurl.com/y7qjrgb5 someuwin26 Jan '17 - 09:11 - 19228 of 27264 1 0 Spring starts in March so hopefully we'll hear about the identity of this major retailer soon... "We are in discussions with a major retailer and plan to launch into 200 of their best stores this coming Spring." https://tinyurl.com/ychcuwcs Note spring date, which has come and gone, this fits in with Christina's comment about the delay.

You can't blame OPTI BOD for TW outing P&G....You have of course. I agree with the SBTX fiasco, a point I have made on more than one occasion with SOH. There yeah go, something we agree on. ;)

I'll attempt to dig the ref out later. It wasn't specific to the UK listing I think it was lumped in in so form of an update.

"Initial 200 stores"....this was RNS'd. However, the retailer was not named at the time.

Revolution - If you read it in the historical context, SOH mantra - I conclude it is a will, not might, otherwise why put yourself at the mercy of looking a fool and losing credibility with investors. Christina seems very clear to me in her response. The key word is "delay" which again suggests the deal has been done. Don't forget, SOH mentions a UK retailer when he stated an initial 200 stores. Perhap this has expanded, just like TATA agreement, hence delay due to logistics, etc. Either way, the Boots deal is c 12 months away from the shelves and explain why NO RNS at this stage? As got H&B....SOONER OR LATER?

From Christina "Both Boots and H&B were bought in the last few months so they are both going through a lot of internal organisation with changes in both personnel and strategy which has delayed everything. The good news is that Boots is going to revamp their existing stores to include a new ‘Health & Wellness’ area for mid 2018 where GoFigure and other OptiBiotix pipeline products would fit in really well."

It seems to me Boots in particular are making space for a new range of "health and wellness" range, which will include OPTI products expected mid 2018. H&B have also been brought on board, this comes from Christina, so credible. This all fits in with what SOH has told us about scaling up production capacity for SlimBiome.

Big bad wolf - Do you have a question for me that makes sense or are you just letting off steam? King prawn, keep to the facts....33 years and I have never suggested I'm sorry if my posts make you feel inferior....don't read them, simple!

Just an observation - you advise buying low 60s. Hardly a huge change in the market cap, you realise this right! The "strong contracts" you advise waiting for have already been signed, you do realise this right! Would you like me to list them for you? What price are you talking about? H20? Not a scubby....OPTI listed at 8p not £34. OMG!!

Wolf - Sorry pal, but I am unsure of the point you attempting to make? Are you trying to educate me on the link with OPTI/SACCO by chance? Here, some light reading for you. Something I prepared earlier and you obviously missed. Pay particular attention to the SACCO segments and the date of publication...I should add, I AM THE AUTHOR. ;) https://goo.gl/eHQfRz

Wolf - Are making the assumption someone of 30+ years investing is so delusional....to wield such power one needs numbers similar to bloggers like TW or a well circulated tip publication, I don't have that luxury. You need to look closer to home pal. Unsure what you mean about irony old chap. Your quote is laughable...." it's the brokers that affect the SP not mortals." Really! I named two, I could rattle of a list alternatives in addition to your theory, but why bother. The difference to people like me and you is very important one, I share my thoughts within an investment community so that I learn along with others, it's about sharing ideas, information and questioning appropriately. I don't usually call anyone a deramper, but I do offer a counter to their bear case, you on the other hand offer no real analytical case. Was there anything in my post you could pull apart in an analytical way or is this the sum total of argument? I highlighted several key points you seems to miss in your research (if it can be call such) but you don't counter a single one, instead you chose to make some sort of ironic observation based on what only you know?

Then you have learned nothing in that time...apparently!

Wolf - I'm going to assume you have been at this investment malarkey more than 2.5 years - 33 for me. Without wishing to be patronising, you appear to make a few basic errors when evaluating OPTI's value and potential. First, you ignore the obvious transition period the company is currently in - namely moving from R&D to commercial phase on, no not one, two, three, but multiple fronts and all have multiple revenue streams. You ignore the value of OPTI IP. It has real value. I point you to Chr Hansen and ask you to look at what it paid for a single probiotic strain, which, though has already developed revenues, it is INFERIOR and nowhere near as diverse at OPTI's LP-LDL strain. Now I ask you how many strains OPTI has and what they do? By the way, the LDD strain cost more than the whole market cap of OPTI. More on this here https://goo.gl/LNuxbh Business strategy....do you understand it? It appears not. Here, let me point you to a very well written article on the subject. You'll love it ;) https://goo.gl/UGF3em Investors in OPTI have a unique chance to broaden their investment portfolio in the human biome, they already have free SBTX (yet to be distributed) and will in a few months have shares in SweetBiotix post IPO, expected next year. https://goo.gl/5PQohW It is very shortsighted of people to compare a company born just 3.5 years ago, open a world of new innovative science where expectations would have for failure in some capacity within its chosen fields of expertise would have been very high, but failed they never; skin, sugars, cholesterol and weight management, not to mention the scientific platforms, yet none of these failed - weight management is commercially viable through GoFigure brand, Tata/SlimBiome soon, LP-LDL/TATA, a bonus and probably SweetBiotix to follow and SweetBiotix, though no commercial products as yet, it will spin out soon. LP-LDL has c12 variants - LPGOS will be in full commercial production sometime in December 2017. LP-LDL has a raft of announcement post Vitafoods waiting to be signed-off now SACCO are back from their summer holidays. We also know several US based companies have, via SACCO shown and eagerness to adopt OPTI IP into their products. News of these could be any time around late September when OPTI share a stand with SACCO. The market looks forward, now we are preoccupied with a seller in an illiquid stock which has a dramatic effect on the SP. When revenues become clearer, this will be reversed in short order. OPTI's PLC costs a mere 95k pm. Once revenues feed into the company, they will go straight to the bottomline. Some peeps won't see any of the above, you are clearly one, but hey, that's what makes a market and spotting the OPTI's of this world are no easy, so I don't blame you. Good luck.
