I don't follow the logic of it being stock replenishment. Surely the costs of replenishing stock is met by the sale of the stock that is being replenished.

If anything, the need to replenish stock should mean we are on a very healthy financial state based on the profit derived from the sale of the old stock.

On further thought, I worry that we didn't shift that stock as anticipated, didn't get the subsequent revenue and therefore we're in need of extra cash

This dilution on its own isn’t catastrophic but it does signify a deterioration in outlook in my opinion.

Let’s be honest, Opti has been subsidised through the sale of stock for years because it has been unable to turn a profit. SOH would have been looking to the stock in SBTX to buy him time here. Now though, that well has run dry and the dilution begins.

Call it what you will, either the market simply doesn’t want our products or the manageMent is incompetent. It’s one or the other after this amount of time.

This remains a punt ion Sweet for me. If it wasn’t for that, I’d have ditched this years ago

Lots of selling into these recent small price rises. Huge volume yesterday and in the other recent rise and much smaller volumes on the small falls in between.

Looks like someone is getting rid of a sizable position in the mid 20s.

Good news for when they're done selling.

That's my very amateurish reading of it anyway

Every share he tips is a disaster.

Just a thought on price per ton. I think I remember an RNS in the past year that has spoken about trying to compete with sugar on price.

Given that sugar is circa $400 per metric ton, and in addition brings extra tax burdens at the point of sale to the consumer, perhaps that gives us some idea of the price of Sweet.

Of course whatever the price is, we are seeing a % of that and not the whole thing.

The above is complete speculation brought about by my excitement at the disclosure of the news that Sweet is goog into production. It could definitely be wrong

I wonder whether some big holder may have been determined to sell into the mid 20s to account for the volume that has been shifted without a massive swing I'm share price. Hopefully that seller is now done and the handbrake can come off.

I was thinking the same. The volume though tells a different story than the share price which is even wierder. Huge volume both days with very little share price movement today.

Very odd

Yes, the fact that we are about to go on the shelves with Sweet is huge. It means the final tests on taste and shelf life.

Plus I would love if anyone had some insight into what the tonnage of Sweet Firmenech are projecting is worth to hs.

Eh, I saw numbers. Both % rises, dollar amounts and tonnage

I'm a sucker for a SOH RNS. Caused much resentment on the way down to the single figures but I like the look of this one.

In terms of marketing, they really seemed to have sorted themselves out.

Those numbers for SWEET look huge but I await some of the much better informed posters to point out the detail in all this.

These stocks always attract a huge amount of trolls because they either lack a purpose in life so like to get a rose from people, or they are paid to try and drive sentiment in a particular direction. The only course of action is to ignore individuals who you think fit into this category. Don't even read their messages

I'm calling absolute bull on that.

Laughable in fact and one of the reasons why I haven't used that board for years

Sadly the volume is high. Much higher than the daily average

I asked it Martinu, it said you will have to email SOH to find out but that whatever you do, don't post the fact you learned it in an email on here. It will cause havoc

I asked chatgpt for the difference between Sweetbiotix and other sweeteners. I thought it provided a nice overview for new or potential investors.

SweetBiotix, developed by OptiBiotix, differs from traditional artificial sweeteners in several key ways, mainly in its approach to health benefits and its mechanism of action:

1. **Source and Composition**: SweetBiotix are designed based on fibers that are non-digestible. This means they can potentially act as prebiotics, fostering the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. In contrast, most artificial sweeteners like aspartame, sucralose, and saccharin are synthetic compounds that do not provide any prebiotic benefits.

2. **Caloric Content**: SweetBiotix are intended to be low or zero-calorie, similar to other artificial sweeteners. However, their caloric contribution is derived from their fiber content, which the body does not digest, rather than being inherently calorie-free.

3. **Impact on Gut Health**: Unlike traditional artificial sweeteners, which can sometimes negatively affect gut health and microbiota, SweetBiotix aims to positively influence gut health due to their prebiotic nature. This aligns with the growing consumer interest in functional foods that support overall health and well-being.

4. **Taste and Aftertaste**: One common criticism of artificial sweeteners is their aftertaste, often described as bitter or metallic. SweetBiotix aims to closely mimic the taste profile of sugar without such undesirable aftertastes, making them potentially more palatable to consumers.

5. **Health Implications**: While some artificial sweeteners have been subject to health concerns and debates over their safety and potential metabolic effects, SweetBiotix aims to offer health benefits, particularly related to gut health and the modulation of the microbiome, without the negative effects associated with sugar or some artificial sweeteners.

It's important to note that the effectiveness and acceptance of SweetBiotix will depend on ongoing research, consumer trials, regulatory approvals, and market adoption. As with any food ingredient, individual responses can vary, and what works well for one person may not for another.

Ha. I'm down 99% on this stock. Fortunately it was just a small punt. The market cap now is less than a corner shop on my road

Feels a bit early for this. Granted I've only been in a few months so have missed a lot of useful information. What makes you think that FDA approval is so imminent

We are due an update on Sweet but I agree that it could just be TWs impressionable followers. Ultimately you are looking at just over £150k traded which is PI money

This has historic support at 100p with the small exception of the last dip. Good place to add and definitely not to sell

I think that market boredom led to the big rise from the single digits to the 40s this year, not sure it provides sufficient explanation for a 3-fold rise from here or even a rise at all. What will be required is sales, growth and news on Sweet in my opinion.
