We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
sain@vision, you're very good at quoting the negative reviews on Trustpilot, and at talking PURP down at every given opportunity, ad nauseam. But the truth of the matter is that 87% of the reviews on Trustpilot give PURP a 5-star rating, something which you somehow neglect to mention. As recently as 21/12/22, we read this: "From start to finish I always had the support and weekly updates from my agent - Diane Armstrong. She was always on hand to provide me with advice and the next steps going forward. I would strongly recommend her and Purple Bricks. Thank you". There are many reviews like this, praising individual agents who are trying their best. I'm sure there have been many failings at PURP hitherto, as reflected in the current share price. But maybe, just maybe, the tide is turning and the good people at PURP (of which there are many, if you care to read ALL the reviews) are getting their act together. You seem to have some kind of bitter and twisted vendetta against the company - we get it, you bought high and sold low (always a flawed investment strategy if we're brutally honest) - but please give credit where credit is due and stop with the highly selective reviews which are clearly intended to mislead. Here's to happy and prosperous 2023!
5x5 looks like a sell to me, but I could be wrong...
Here we go again. The share price last Friday before the AGM touched 55p/57.5p. We now stand at 80p/82.5p. That's a near 40% increase in a matter of days, and you're bemoaning "further falls". Jeez, there's no pleasing some people...
A 30-bag from here? Stranger things have happened... Plenty of commentators in the PM space predicting triple digit silver (Peter Krauth is worth checking out, as he lays out the investment argument, along side the industrial use narrative). From $100 an ounce, $300 is not such a stretch, nor, too, $600. It will require "the herd" to reach such heights (as Krauth points out), but is anyone watching the current debt crisis and the devaluation of currencies? Central banks the world over have boxed themselves into a corner. It's either crash the economy (and all the political turmoil that that entails), or inflate to infinity. PMs are your only salvation, imo.
Lyndon, I think that's a little off 'Topic'!
Gunner is correct regarding "bids". The word used was "approaches", of which it seems there have been a fair few - "it's a case of form an orderly queue" (as Stephen Parker said). I think we can assume that there is a lot of interest in SRA737, once it has been returned, and once all the trial data gathered thus far have been poured over. As for timelines, I think Dr Parker said "a low number of weeks" to receive the data package, and "a low number of weeks" for the information to be assimilated. This might take us reasonably to the end of February, so share price volatility may continue for a while yet. For those capable of waiting, the current share price looks like an absolute steal to me, especially given the confidence we saw exuding from the Board last Friday. They were as exasperated as we are, but they didn't look at all worried. Just my take...
Warty, have you ever tried drinking diesel?
Many thx, PCS. Feedback most welcome, and thank you for attending (given the weather and current state of UK public transport).
Thx for the replies. They're all sounding quite bullish despite the delays, I have to say. Feeling a little more confident here.
Re: 737? Did I hear that right?
Problems with my connection, too. Keeps on cutting out...
Anyone care to hazard a guess as to where the pathway to CT approval might be "quicker and clearer"? I somehow doubt it would be any easier in the US, so perhaps looking east? Japan, China? I'm probably wrong, but I seem to remember we have patent protection in those countries... Sadly, though, this is looking more and more like a protracted delay, and therefore more SP slippage. Our one savior may yet be SRA737, but that also looks like a fairly distant hope (time wise). AGM will be interesting.
Gunner, I doubt TM and JR would ever indulge in such corrupt practices. But, the thought had crossed my mind with regard to MHRA. How many publicly listed companies have had their initial clinical trial applications denied? Someone mentioned a figure of 50% get pushed back, but how many of those companies would then see their share price tank as a result (because they are publicly traded)? Now that would be an interesting statistic, if anyone might know...
Yikes! Even for the long termers, this is becoming painful. Nearly all my profit from the 10p days (old money) has evaporated. But, it's days like today that help to reinforce why I still hold. Today, so far reported, we have roughly (let's be generous) 150,000 shares traded (not all sells, by the way). This is a company with 68 million shares in issue. Let that sink in... Yet, less than 0.25% of shares in issue have been exchanged, while we have been marked down 8.82%! This feels like a final attempt to squeeze any remaining shares out of the weak hands. I've fallen for it in the past, so I'm kind of familiar with the feeling. This time, however, I'm not fooled, but the big question is: Are you?
Thanks potnak and Gunner68. The AGILE angle I wish they had kept us updated about. It was such an opportunity, but nobody ran with it, sadly. The secret patent being about the capsule formulation I had forgotten about, so thanks for the reminder. All best everyone.
I was just trying to find when/where mention was made of the so-called "secret patent", but to no avail. I seem to remember JR saying something like, "the whole world will know soon enough about this". I can't remember when, or where, this was said. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm pretty sure it was last year... Another thought. If our SDC 1801 was better than, or equal to, baricitinib (in treating the symptoms of Covid-19, as per the RNS 1/7/2021) what on earth is going on?? There was talk of fast-tracking SDC 1801 via AGILE, yet we can't seem to get approval for a CTA?? Something just doesn't add up here, or am I completely barking? Anyone care to set me straight? Thx in advance.
...that the Board could defuse all the speculation would be to buy some shares on the open market, whilst awaiting news regarding the CTA. This would help to restore confidence, send the message that all is not lost, buoy the sp (kind of most importantly from a personal perspective!), and perhaps urinate on the conflagration that they themselves, if we're honest, have started. Unless, of course, they're privy to information which precludes them from buying? I know nothing about a closed period, nor whether they might buy or not (except I've seen it work in the past - witness SP's buy last year), but it would certainly help to alleviate the concerns that many have - at least, apparently, on this bulletin board. Again, I wish everyone all best, and urge patience. Let's respect each other's views, and refrain from the vitriol please.

This last year has clearly been a disaster for the SAR sp, but we're not alone (look at OXB). And, the tide may be turning... Here's hoping, and here's urging everyone to keep the faith! All best.
No apology required, shepster. I must have got my wires crossed! That dashed CTA RNS has certainly put the cat among the pigeons and left everyone scrambling for possible explanations. Quite unforgivable of the Board to leave everyone hanging like this, although I'm still hopeful for a positive outcome in due course. Good luck to one and all.
shepster, I wholeheartedly agree with you, and I, too, have asked the very same questions which hopefully someone will address at the agm. I know that my post was highly speculative, but surely the RNS pertaining to the CTA delay left so many questions unanswered that it invited the kind of speculation that I apparently am guilty of, and that you seem to shun?
