The automatic selling of 1m blocks at 20c by Instinet probably spooked buyers yesterday.
Instinet back with another 1m sell order at 20c this morning.
Interesting times in the US which could well be a trigger to affect the market in the short term.
The next week will be most interesting.
The market update was very well timed chart wise ;-) these guys are smart operators..
Yesterdays close above the upper Bollinger band was a good indication of things to come.
Happy days!
Heimdal
Strong finish today @ 19.3c above the upper Bollinger band. Chart looking very bullish with the cross over of the Slow Stochastic. I think we are due for the next wave now.
Heimdal
We need to break the 18.8/19c key resistance level. Bollinger bands, stochastics etc indicate upward break out is imminent.
Bignose, WRT to the strong dividend history you mentioned, my view is that the 13c special dividend back in 2013 was a major mistake as it left the company with hardly any cash, as such we ended up with the massive dilution in order to get PLE in the bag. Nonetheless, that is all history now and I am very hopeful for the future prospects of Regent Pacific. There is a lot going on at the moment with OTC in EU, FDA, potential commercial partner in USA, China, HK/Macao, Taiwan, ROW, DLI... frequent market updates etc. Happy days!

Regent Pacific will receive US$ 5 million* (approximately HK$39 million) from Wanbang Pharmaceutical if the clinical study tentatively to be started in April/May 2021 meets its endpoints of determining the effects of Senstend™ on the Index of Premature Ejaculation (IPE) and the Intra-vaginal Ejaculation Latency Time (IELT) and to evaluate the safety and tolerability of Senstend™ in Premature Ejaculation subjects and their sexual partners, together with an import licence for Senstend™ granted by NMPA. Regent Pacific will also receive US$2 million* (approximately HK$15.6 million) upon the first commercial sale of Senstend™ in China from Wanbang Pharmaceutical with tiered percentage royalties on net sales, ranging from low to the high teens from first commercial sale.
In addition, Wanbang Pharmaceutical has ordered clinical supplies from Pharmaserve (North West) Limited ("PSNW"), the manufacturer of Senstend™/Fortacin™, with the aim of supplies being ready for the commencement of the clinical trial. Regent Pacific has also contracted PSNW to commence development on the commercial scale up to increase the current batch size per each manufacturing run to 50,000 units from 15,000 units. This is designed to meet Wanbang Pharmaceutical's requirements for China and Recordati's over-the-counter's requirements in the European Union and the United Kingdom.
Steady Progress in the United States
The Phase II validation study in the United States has been completed with 87 randomised subjects. The study is targeted to submit to the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") during the first half of 2021. It is expected that the pivotal Phase III study could commence in the latter half of 2021, assuming the trial is sufficient to convince the FDA that the Premature Ejaculation Bothersome Evaluation Questionnaire serves as an appropriate measure for support of a label claim; with New Drug Application ("NDA") submission possible in late 2022, giving a Prescription Drug User Fee Act date at the end of 2023.

This is indeed excellent news Dougie - 36c might not be far away.
I hope you have loaded up the truck with cheap shares.
Heimdal
Thank you Bignose and Italian. 2021 should be a great year for Regent Pacific holders.
Chart looking very bullish with FDA, EU roll out and China news expected in the short term.
We have clearly turned the corner with frequent market updates. Profit warning end of Feb should not be major worry given the amortization of Fortacin during the last couple of years.
Where do you expect the share price to be at the end of this year? My guess is 36c and a MCap
around US$115 is not unrealistic by year end, possibly much faster.
Onward and upward.

Happy New Year all. Intetesting Bloomberg article here from DEC 29: Mainland Cash Chasing Hong Kong Stocks After Record Year.
Mainland investors have bought a net HK$666 billion ($86 billion) of the city’s shares, easily the most since both of Hong Kong’s trading links with onshore exchanges began operating in 2016. China’s increasing role in Hong Kong’s market could provide key support in years to come.
Companies in Hong Kong with relatively high growth potential such as Regent Oacific might well benefit from increased interest from mainland investors.
Moreover, Credit Suisse Group AG expects the Hang Seng Index to reach 30,000 points next year, 11% above current levels and last seen in mid-2019.

Is this relevant to Regent Pacific? Are you running some kind of boiler room set up? Heimdal
Cheers, main thing is that FORTACIN is on the shelves in Germany now. Happy days!
I guess the options will be granted to Dr Wyllie as an early Christmas present for his FDA achievement?
Onwards and upwards!
Alquemie / Italian, thank you for sharing! Heimdal
Indeed, disappointing finish @ 18.7c and the constant selling pressure all day.
Bignose, do you think we will get an update on FDA progress this year?
Interesting times bignose. SP slowly drifting below 20c now with 55.5m shares traded during the 1st hour.
Hopefully DLI will add significant value over time. You mentioned RPG will have access to 3.79mill USD
from DLI, is that really correct? If so then short term funding will not be an issue.
My main concern is the overheating US market. How long will this last with average S&P 500 P/E of >30?
% change in operating EPS from last year is -23%, yet average P/E is up by 47.4%.

I am very pleased with the TAIWAN approval - well done!
".. the Directors are pleased to inform shareholders that Orient EuroPharma Co., Ltd. (“Orient EuroPharma”), the Group’s
commercial strategic partner for Taiwan, Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (“Hong Kong”), Macau Special Administrative Region (“Macau”) and certain other countries in South East Asia, has informed the Group on 11 December 2020 that it has received marketing authorisation approval for Taiwan from the Taiwan Food and Drug Administration (“TFDA”). This is the final regulatory approval process required for the marketing, distribution and sale of Fortacin
in Taiwan.
The regulatory approval from the TFDA has triggered a payment of US$300,000 (or approximately HK$2.34 million) to the Group. The Group understands that Orient EuroPharma expects to launch Fortacin in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau in 2021."

"Following the transaction, DLI will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. The
Board believes that the acquisition of DLI will add a high-quality growth asset to the Company,
which will serve as a key platform for its expansion into the health and wellness sector, namely
the emerging field of longevity (m e d i c i n e)." Looking forward to hear more on this. Heimdal

Just joking bignose, I understand you are a significant LT holder.
Somewhat surprised with only 3m votes cast at the EGM. For as moment I though maybe it was bignose voting against
with his mighty holding ;-)
A separate announcement will be issued by the company upon closing of the DLI acquisition, and that might well have some impact on the sp. For now we have support at the 18c level which is positive.
