I was invested in Boohoo when it was 28p i had about 70,000 shares but sold way too early then forgot all about it only to check back recently and see what i missed out on. One thing i recall a couple of years back when Boohoo was crawling along the bottom for months on end in the 20p to 30p range was all the rumours going round that the BoD were no good, that the company was likely to either run out of money or they'd need to raise funds and that'd result in huge shareholder dilution etc plus Tom winnifrith had his boot in and was publishing damning articles on shareprofits mostly unfounded scaremongering hoping to spark a sell off no doubt and cause the share price to collapse. His campaign against Boohoo didn't work of course largely because he was talking utter bullocks as usual. I don't know much about Koovs but the share price is at a similar level to where Boohoo was two years ago and the negative chatter is much the same too. In my own experience listening to all that negative chatter and selling out early proved to be a terrible and very costly mistake on my part and the lesson learnt is to never again be influenced by negative gossip and unfounded **** that you read on a bulletin board. Koovs has far less shares in issue than Boohoo (175m for koovs versus 1.123 Billion for Boohoo) and even with further dilution that's still likely to be the case. If mcap gets anywhere near that of Boohoo in the coming months and years, with a much smaller number of shares in issue than Boohoo the share price could easily top £5 to £10+ making the current share price look very attractive provided you're patient and are prepared to hold for the long term and keep your fingers well away from that sell button.

pickledonion, with regard WRN, there are currently multiple legal cases underway due to the tortious inference/corporate sabotage of the company. A tortious interference report "TIR" has been produced in which bulletin board trolls, the worst offenders, are to be pursued as part of the interferents. Whether or not all of this will involve alfista I've no idea, that's for the company to decide. Clearly, with active legal cases underway, it's probably wise to stay out of it and not comment.

Well I think I've said all i had to say here, so I shall leave you guys to it. I've laid out the reasons why I'm bearish on this stock - over valued, etc - but despite what some may think, I actually wish pxs well with fruitflow. There is a big difference between posting bear comment and downright trolling. I believe i have posted bear comment - the fact I am not willing to persist posting my own negative views from hereon should tell you that I am not a troll. It's worth saying that alfista, on the other hand, has been posting pretty much non stop on the WRN board for nearly three years, despite not being a WRN shareholder himself - all of it negative, much of it false and misleading, much of it highly provocative to shareholders and some of it bordering on outright defamation. And that is what you call trolling. Anyway, good luck to pxs shareholders, here's hoping you guys get to make some good returns from this one day.

"non specific generalities"? Do you mean articles written by health experts by any chance? Are you claiming these articles are somehow false? Are you claiming those experts behind the information in the articles don't know what they're talking about? Are you claiming universally known FACTS that foods such as garlic and red wine do not infact help with heart health? As I say, you are utterly in denial.

Alfista, from what I can tell, the main difference between fruitflow and the myriad of heart healthy foods that are out there - is that fruitflow is super concentrated ; ie, it packs more punch than, say, a garlic bulb, a pomegranate or a half dozen tomatoes. But is that really so revolutionary that it's going to take over the world and change the planet's shopping habits? Personally, i very much doubt it. And it certainly doesn't justify a loss making company, with negligible revenue having a market capitalisation that's a colossal 40 x it's net asset value.

Alfista, I think you are in denial. The articles i have posted clearly state there are many common, cheap, widely available food and beverage items, many of which have been medically and scientifically proven to have positive health benefits on platelet aggregation and blood flow. For the vast majority of ordinary people of average health, switching to a low fat, healthy diet which includes regular heart-healthy foods such as oily fish, garlic, berries, oats, spices and the odd glass of red wine - is sufficient to maintain a healthy heart into old age, as generations before us have done. And there's nothing to suggest you have to eat "half a bucket of tomatoes" to get the benefits - that is pure exaggeration. I suspect fruitflow has benefits that are more concentrated - but is a daily, high concentration dosage of heart healthy benefits actually necessary for a regular person of average health? My guess is, no it isn't - i suspect that for most people sufficient benefit can be obtained from eating a small daily selection of heart healthy foods as part of a healthy low fat diet. To me, it's comparable to high doseage vitamin tablets - not necessary if you eat a healthy diet containing fresh fruit and vegetables, plus the body can only handle so much vitamin intake before it overloads and the excess can actually be detrimental to health. My conclusion is, if the individual is of such poor heart health that he/she feels the need to intake a daily high doseage of heart healthy compounds, he or she should instead be discussing their condition with their doctor who will no doubt prescribe prescription drugs. Possibly, if the patient is diagnosed with a heart condition, the doctor may perhaps advise the patient to include something like fruitflow to aid and support recovery. So I do think there's a market for fruitflow, albeit small and niche. But with so many cheap, widely available heart healthy foods out there which have also been shown to have positive effects on platelet aggregation and blood flow, i can't see fruitflow ever making it as a global, mass produced product. Fruitflow is never going to change the shopping habits of billions of people around the world or replace garlic bulbs, berries, fresh tomatoes, oats, red wine etc as the cheap foods of choice for heart health.

pickledonion, of course fruitflow works! you sound almost surprised! Fruitflow has been scientifically proven. But then again, so has oily fish, berries, oats, spices, chillies, red grapes, red wine, garlic bulbs and a myriad of other cheap, widely available food and drink items!

wheelds, can you show me where it states, in any of those articles, that you have to drink "bottles of red wine every night" and risk becoming an alcoholic in order to get the health benefits? I believe you may have exaggerated that claim somewhat? My understanding is that it refers to an occasional glass of red wine. You then go on to say that "fruitflow.. is the only way via your diet to ensure you stay healthy, alive and kicking". That's quite some claim and it's not true at all is it - as these articles point out, there are numerous food and drink items that also have proven health benefits that can help with platelet aggregation and blood flow. You say "fruitflow products is the way" - but why is it? when it appears there are no end of healthy, natural alternatives that can also help with heart health, platelet aggregation and blood flow. Surely, all we need to do is exercise, eat a healthy diet and include a regular number of heart healthy foods - oily fish, garlic, spices, oats, pomegranates and other fresh fruit and vegetables plus the occasional glass of red wine. It's been good enough for generations up until now so why all of a sudden are we claiming it's no longer good enough or sufficient? we haven't all been dropping dead in the street from heart attacks because we haven't been taking our fruitflow all these years have we?! The other thing to say is, why fruitflow? Why tomatoes? It appears there are numerous other food items that have proven heart health properties so what's stopping a rival company doing the same thing with, say, pomegranates? Or red grape skin? And since nobody can claim IP ownership of a tomato, just how safe are the patents? if fruitflow ever did become popular, you can bet other companies, especially so in China i would say, will be looking at it and finding ways to produce their own versions - business can be brutal, patents need to be watertight or rival companies will try to find a way around them that doesn't infringe. My conclusion is that for the vast majority of ordinary people, switching to a healthy diet and exercise programme is sufficient. Include plenty of heart healthy foods and you'll be just fine, as generations have done before us. I see no reason why anyone would need to resort to adding super-strength supplements to their diet ; if you have a heart condition then you need to seek medical advice and possibly receive prescription drugs. If the doctor prescribes supplements to support recovery, then great. But we shouldn't be self diagnosing and choosing supplements over going to see the doctor. Supplements will never replace prescription drugs and for most, a normal healthy diet and exercise programme will suffice ; so it's hard to see where supplements fit in?

Common, cheap, widely available food and drink items, many of which have been proven to have positive effects on platelet aggregation and blood flow... How to decrease platelets in 12 steps https://www.google.co.uk/amp/m.wikihow.com/Decrease-Platelets%3Famp%3D1 Foods to decrease platelet aggregation http://www.livestrong.com/article/303008-foods-to-decrease-platelet-aggregation/ Clot Busters http://www.betternutrition.com/blood-clot-busters/ As a consumer looking for heart healthy food and drink items that can help with platelet aggregation and blood flow, it appears I'm rather spoilt for choice? It appears there is a multitude of low cost, readily available options open to me which I can buy from any corner shop or supermarket? So why does the world need fruitflow? My assumption is that a packaged product containing fruitflow would also cost more than, say, a pomegranate or a garlic bulb - so I just can't see why anyone would buy fruitflow products when there are so many cheap, readily available natural alternatives - the list appears to be endless - pomegranates, oily fish, garlic, spices, etc, etc, etc...

Pxs : "In human trials consumption of fruitflow has been proven to maintain healthy platelet aggregation and improve blood flow... positive effects were observed in 97% of individuals tested. This compares favourably with single drug therapies such as aspirin which can be ineffective in up to 30% of individuals ; further, there are no recorded side effects from fruitflow" From an article entitled, "Spices prevent platelet aggregation" ; "New research has found that the active ingredients in several common spices prevent platelet aggregation and blood clot formation up to 29 times better than aspirin, and without side effects" https://www.ashleyfoodcompany.com/spices-prevent-platelet-aggregation/ So what does fruitflow have, or do, that "common spices" don't? Both, it appears, have been proven to have positive effects on platelet aggregation, both are far more effective than aspirin and both have zero side effects. So what's the difference? As a consumer, why would i bother paying extra (presumably) for packaged products that contain fruitflow - when I could just nip down my local supermarket or any grocery corner shop and buy a few fresh chillies for 50p or less instead? It appears both do pretty much the same thing?

"the more substantial product news is all in front of us" Don't forget to factor in any placings RNSs that may be on the way! further shareholder dilution to add to the already sizeable 1,750,818,000 shares in issue!

My assumption, alfy, is that you are most probably up to your eye balls in this stock and about six feet under water? It's clear from your posting that you're desperate for this to work out and will post whatever it takes to sucker new investors in. But you can't hide the fact Mcap is a ludicrous 40 x NAV making pxs one of the most grossly over valued stocks on all of AIM - a great shorting opportunity if ever there was one!

Forget the science, it's not the scientists who'll be buying the stuff. The only thing that matters is - will billions of people flock to their stores to buy it? Yes or no? Despite years of trying in the UK, fruitflow remains small scale and mostly unheard of amongst the general population - hardly a good start to pxs's plans for world domination is it! The thing is, people have been living long, happy, healthy lives for hundreds of years by eating healthy fresh tomatoes and other fresh produce. What most people will be saying is - we've managed perfectly well without fruitflow all this time, we didn't drop dead from heart problems in our 50's and 60's so why, all of a sudden, are fresh tomatoes no longer good enough? Why all of a sudden do we need fruitflow? The answer is - generations have managed perfectly well without fruitflow up until now and generations to come will also manage perfectly well without fruitflow. It's a niche product at best, it'll never make it as a mass produced product on a global scale. You guys are living in cloud cuckoo land if you think it will, you're up there with the fairies!

Surely, at the end of the day, it doesn't matter what regulatory bodies and scientists have to say about fruitflow - it's what the punters think that matters, ie, will people actually buy the stuff. The answer, I suspect, is no they won't. They will continue to choose cheap, fresh, healthy produce that's available in every supermarket instead. Nobody is going to stop buying fresh tomatoes which can be bought for pennies - in favour of packaged products with added fruitflow. There will exist a small niche market, as in health food stores but I can't see fruitflow ever being a mass product on a global scale. They've been trying to make it big in the UK for years and the fact they don't appear to have got very far with that is an indicator as to what people think of it, ie, many probably haven't even heard of fruitflow and many would rather not bother with it, they'll continue to buy their tomatoes fresh from the supermarket, or buy even cheaper tomato puree etc. If fruitflow makes it big one day then fantastic, but I can't see it. In fact I think you guys are living in cloud cuckoo land. Meanwhile pxs remains a grossly over valued stock (mcap currently 40 x net asset value) which, in my view, makes pxs a shorters dream. Mcap should be much closer to NAV around £1m to £2m so I suspect the share price may have a lot of potential downside from the current price and that, for me, makes this a very high risk investment right now.

Alfista, firstly I have never claimed fruitflow hasn't been scientifically proven to have certain health benefits and I don't appreciate being labelled a liar. Don't do it again. The point I have made, is that ultimately what matters is what the consumers think since they're the ones who'll be buying the stuff. And, in my opinion, the vast majority of ordinary people will continue to buy fresh and canned tomatoes, puree and passatta over packaged products with added fruitflow. I just can't see it ever growing into anything substantial, other than just a small scale niche product, the kind you might find in a few health food stores.

The skeptic might argue pxs are bound to say that otherwise nobody would buy their products! Now ask any tomato grower the same question, as well as many nutritionists and dieticians and see if they too favour supplements over the natural products! See if they give you the same answer!

If it's made from tomatoes then of course it has health benefits, as do many health supplements. However, the big question is will consumers ever flock to the stores to buy it? If the UK is anything to go by, the response from retailers and consumers appears to have been only luke warm. China is obviously a huge market and with the popularity of Chinese medicines which, let's face it, includes all kinds of weird and wonderful "health foods" it would appear that China is the ideal market for any company hoping to make it big with any kind of new or revolutionary food supplement. Obviously the skeptic might point out that after trying for years to make it big in the UK and perhaps not succeeding as hoped, the obvious next step was to take the product to China. Skeptics might also point out that there's no substitute for a healthy diet and exercise and that pills, potions and food supplements should not be seen as the way forward, nor encouraged - and I tend to agree with that. For example, if you want to get the health benefits of tomatoes - eat fresh tomatoes and/or tomato puree/passatta all of which is cheap and readily available in supermarkets everywhere. Don't try to reinvent the wheel.

Indeed, China is more receptive to "health supplements" than here in the UK ; tiger bones, shark fin soup, bird's nest soup - apart from being deeply controversial, have all been proven to have no health benefits whatsoever. After years of trying (and seemingly failing) to make it big here in the UK, perhaps what was needed was a populace that'll believe in the health benefits of absolutely anything, even fruitflow!

Cont'd from main post.. current price and a strong sell. IMHO.

Revenue £0.04m Loss making £(0.49m) Total assets £360k NAV £142k (as pointed out by Gary newman/share profits) Mcap £9.621m (a ludicrous 40 x NAV) Number of shares in issue : 1,750,818,000 Despite asking numerous times, it appears nobody has been able to explain how it is that a loss making company with negligible revenue and miniscule asset value can possibly have a market capitalisation that is 40 times greater than it's net asset value. It appears the current market valuation is entirely unjustified, grossly over inflated, massively over valued. To hammer the point home, the net asset value of pxs is actually LESS than a tatty, bargain basement, leasehold, one bedroom flat in Catford, London, which is currently on the market at around £200,000. And you wouldn't put such a flat on the market for £10 million when it's only worth £200,000 but that's exactly the situation with pxs: "look at me, I'm making a loss and my net assets are only worth £142k but I'm on the market for £10 million"! And what's truly incredible is that there are shareholders here who actually believe the current valuation is looking CHEAP and are putting yet more money in! It's truly jaw dropping how foolish some people are and how little research they do into company fundamentals! The net asset value of pxs is absolutely miniscule - it's the value of a tatty flat in Catford, it's the value of two second-hand rolex watches, it's the value of a second hand houseboat. Just for the record, the net asset value of pxs is considerably LESS than the world's most expensive BARBIE DOLL, it's considerably LESS than any of the top ten VIOLINS in the world, it's considerably LESS than most supercars. It appears the current market valuation for pxs is entirely unjustified and I think there is a very real risk that sooner or later Mcap could plummet to somewhere much closer to asset value. And if that were to happen, Mcap could fall by as much as £8 million or more. And with the threat of further placings and dilution, that would decimate the current share price and leave shareholders sat on a huge paper loss. Fruitflow may make it big one day, but personally i doubt it. Forget China, the big retailers here in the UK would have sensed if this was ever going to be big. They'd have been all over it. Fruitflow should be huge in the UK by now. And yet the reality is after all these years fruitflow appears to have utterly failed to make it big here in the UK hence they're having to turn to China instead. For any investor, that apparent lack of progress, that apparent lack of success, after all these years that fruitflow has been around, should surely have sounded the alarm bells? It appears the big retailers, as well as the consumers, just aren't that excited about it. Compared to asset value, the current market valuation of pxs remains absolutely ludicrous and that, for me, makes this a very high risk investment at the
