Big Al’s Reputation
Over the last few weeks, there has been a lot of mud thrown at Avacta board and especially Big Al.
His House move, selling of shares,No news but this has all been by greedy Aim investors, with NO patience all wanting to bag x 10 as quick as possible,so they can move on to their next Aim share and help pay for their losses they have accrued through being greedy and trying to bet on shares they have not put no research into.
I’ve done my research,God if you can’t find time to do research this year when will you find time.
Many have lost money on Avacta in the past since their IPO. Even just 5 years ago Avacta share price was hovering around today’s price then it took a bit of a dive to all time low this year this caused again by impatient investors.
Major pharma companies take up to 15 to 20 years to get a drug to market and costs a fortune,that’s why the drugs cost so much when they are on patent.
Look back at all the RNS and you can follow what Big Al is trying to achieve but it takes time.
