Of course it's been disastrous for someone like myself that bought in early. But, as an investor, I didn't get annoyed and make regular negative posts when the sp started improving recently, nor when the news we investors have been waiting for did I chose to come on a public forum and accuse my company of lying. We are where we are, and when past losses are the equivalent of sunk costs investment decisions are based on what happens from this point in time. If I felt as negatively as you about the company I would as a a genuine investor sell up, move on and not haunt a share chat forum.
agenda and for some time now
to see all the new posters' 'positivity ;-)
Fwiw TW's take on this is that it is massive and other retailers will now follow. "Make no mistake this deal is massive, get on board at 5.5p or less while you can." And his target is 10p+ "before very long indeed". And, for once, he may well be right on this one.
If it's insider trading it must be the cleaner given the size of the trades ;-) There was one substantial purchase recently but then only PI sized and uneven figure and value. We know this can go down with small volume and the same applies to it going up. It's only up to what it was a short time ago and to half what it was a year ago. It was over 7p a year back, so certainly doable, and fwiw TW currently has it as a buy up to 8p and a target of 15p. I think for many people you wouldn't need to be an insider to buy in at these levels (if only my average was this low) not least given the initial reactions to the product. GLA
I am hoping for news of the first retail deal soon. That should make a huge difference.
Totally agree with the potential in all markets and the business model means multiple layers of revenue with low overheads and minimised risk. When this becomes more transparent, mc will rise again and when the mc threshold is passed ii's will move in and while they would obviously try to do transfer deals with the earlier investors it must also have an accelerator impact on the general market and sp. Given the cautious and conservative stance adopted by SOH, his estimate of about £3.80 in 2 years gives one indication of what multiples might be in store from here. All imo, not ramping, not recommending, everyone should make their own, informed, judgement.
Some decent buys today, encouraging to see.
They were over 4 a couple of months ago and only small sellers have brought it down. FWIW TW has it as a buy up to 7 and a (reduced) sell target of 15. News of retail deals would certainly provide a confidence boost for investors old and new and hopefully speed up recovery to that target price - remember even taking dilution into account we were there before any real commercialisation began or CE mark.
Lol spindok, yes tiny sells, how can they make any sense? If you want something more encouraging check reviews - all very good, nothing like it on the market etc. Hopefully they're using the initial reactions to negotiate a retail deal, it's taking time but it is a high value item and I think that makes a difference. Hoping for news soon, fingers crossed.
I am also realistic. His 'points' are not intended to be anything like rational arguments but siiply used to get people to buy when he wants to sell and to get people to sell when he wants to buy i.e the opposite of what he thinks is rational or right for the person at the time, irrespective of the damage to that person's and their family's finances. Totally lacking in any dignity or self-respect.
Embarrassing. The company has low overheads and even the very first of early revenues were enough to cover costs in the last quarter. The substantial revenue build from here will soon fall to the bottom line which is of course why some are ready to buy. But not content to pay today's price they will try to encourage you to sell to your disadvantage in order to gain advantage for themselves. Just so you appreciate the sort of people you're dealing with.
The "exceptional feedback" from early users is the key because it is social media that will make this a, potentially huge, success. Couples in this situation will be typically looking to advice blogs and discussion forums for support and so word will quickly spread especially now that Concepta have replaced their old and notoriously useless PR company. That and retail partners could quickly make a big difference. And from such a low valuation any early signs of growing success could lead to a rapid recovery in the sp.
Of course, one step at a time, but I still think that if they can successfully commercialise this application then they could be well placed in the wider growing market for mobile self testing, health management that the struggling NHS and other national health systems will increasingly demand in the future. But first they have to get financially sound through commercialisation of MyLotus.
As I said last Friday this partial divestment was probably arranged with another II and arguably other IIs will want to get Opti into their portfolios before long once the size threshold is reached (again).
"YSF policy is to invest to get promising companies going and then withdraw after a set period; it's their policy which they must follow even if there is much more growth to come. This is likely to be an arranged (aided by SOH) transfer to an II given the size"

This could turn out to be significant and the recent replacement of their dire PR company is also a major step forward; it may also help with a retail partner that some think is on its way; fingers crossed.
Yes, it was clearly useful to get a mention in a wide circulation paper and this would be welcomed by any investor; thanks for posting it curiouser and thanks Fairview for checking the app situation; all very helpful.
The price is nothing for something so important to so many couples; just think what people pay for some tat gadgets that never get used after a short time.
BTW and FWIW TW reiterates his up to 7p buy and 15p sell target today and expects a retailer deal soon which will really drive the sp in that direction. Let's see.
FWIW TW admits this has been a bad tip (no kidding) but thinks it's now ready for a major rerate, and expects a B2B deal soon in addition to their own retail channel. He has a 'buy up to 7p ' and a sell target of 15p.
