"Oh well we have tried. Topped up my SRB THX EDV and bought new positions in PTAL, FRES and HOC. its a shame but theres many more out there. Good luck all its been a pleasure"
I have a reasonable holding in SRB too, but held off diversifying further until the result of this fiasco was confirmed. I quite liked the look of HOC at around £1, but it's less attractive now. Have you researched quite thoroughly, and if so, who's the favourite? Would appreciate your considered opinion :)
Monty9 - I should add, I suspected the manufacturing was China-centric, and since my g/f is Chinese, we hold a healthy scepticism when it comes to quality control etc. Suffice it to say, she avoids any cosmetic products that are clearly made in China and frequently sends European produced items back to her family and friends. As you may recall with baby formula etc., there's often cases of adulteration which eventually get exposed and cause a scandal. I'm a former commodity trader and that was my experience too. If you enjoy honey - never buy blended, uncertified own label brands. Almost all is Chinese and adulterated with sugar syrup...
Monty9 - Thanks for the assistance! I think I'll bite :)
Finger getting twitchy...
Oh and if I do decide to bale, I'm thinking M&G looks attractive again..
I was just going to let it play out, but having read the II perspective (linked in another thread) and given it deeper thought, my finger's hovering over the sell button. I'm still inclined to think I can hear pencil sharpeners in the background, but ultimately is the potential upside worth the hassle?
Dare2tri - Reminds me a bit of reading Viz in my teens..
I've looked at the company website (still mentioning Wilko as an outlet btw..) and tried a bit of 'Google-foo', but can't seem to establish where the company's products are formulated and manufactured. Can anyone enlighten me in this respect please? I'm considering adding to my p/f, but would like to understand the business a bit more comprehensively on the supply-side before doing so.
Many thanks to anyone who can assist.

HaryBr190 - Interesting that you trimmed yesterday and are now sitting pretty!
Beo1 - Thanks for the insight. Sounds like a reasonable formula when considering the risk and reward ratio.
Beo1 - Agree with LWHL, booking some profits is frequently shrewd, but personally, I'm a very poor judge when it comes to the 'Can I be bothered?' factor. May I ask, what sort of lump sum, rather than a percentage, do you feel it's worth the legwork?
