The Tribe fundraise dilutes our holding but is possibly a good sign for that business and their technology. Very much trivia compared to CDT though. The situation is DIRE. The board needs a plan and a partner and funding quickly. They also need to BUY IN . No excuse not to at this price. Very very concerning.

Thank you for sharing quality information. This will be good for all concerned and relatively soon.

@joebloggs

TSP is at the same price it was yesterday PM. The price dropped yesterday at about noon. Your broker probably still has yesterday’s info up as it is a v low volume share. Please save your hyperbole for the pub. I was trying to have a sensible conversation on here. Your regular posting of noise, hyperbole and carping or swearing about various boards is annoying. You do the same on Ciz where people are supporting a cancer care business and are fed up of daily effluent.

@Bouncersdream: Thanks for the kind words. I do think you are correct. Maybe it is time to begin a count of holdings and see if there are a number of medium to large holders with similar views. Like others I’m sure, I cannot wait forever to take some value out of this share.

@hullabuloo: Which of our investees do they have holdings in? I’ve never done that research myself? ( then I will answer your question).

Replying to Bouncers Dream:

My suggestion to the board would be simple:

1) buy in now

2) freeze fees and salaries, reward directors only in shares or options

3) freeze all sales of assets

4) obtain a credit line to cover basic running costs

5) broaden the board with an indie or a major holder

6) signal the intent to seek out a buyer

7) change our advisors

Main hope here is the the $28b or so in Russell 3000 tracker funds are, ahead of their crazy big reshuffle day next Friday, pressuring a very weak shares price to the absolute min for them to buy cheap in a weeks time. Beyond that slim hope it can only be sudden boredom or unhelpful rumour. A share more than halving in 4 weeks is incredible but it does seem correlated to the index news. Clutching at straws I know.

Like the share price the quality of post on here has reached a new low.

There will be more to follow at this bargain price.

Do they know something we don’t?..

50m just bought. Nice round number, clearly a knowledgeable investor not your bog standard retail PI

Nelson the dog: Well said. Change comes eventually.

Be careful what you wish for. You’d lose your instant access to whatever investment you’ve made. Any ultimate share out of funds would be after all deductions to a myriad of advisors, brokers, lawyers and the like whose fees would make the boards salary or fees seem like pennies. With the SP at a low that is unlikely to be sustainable ( I.e. it will go up in time) staying listed is the best way for people to get money back. If you want out, just sell. Then at least you’d have your cash now ( rather than in 18 months after n deductions). DYOR.

Looks like ( early and may be tempting fate) the CDT selling rush has abated a little for now. There can’t be many early holders left now and presumably sone new will come out about changed holdings eventually.

Is a buy not a sale. LSE’s usual error.

Whilst some of what you write ( when in a rational mood) is fair enough, I’d suggest to you that pay is a red herring. No one cares about their pay/fees except you.

Should they buy shares.? Yes of course. Well overdue.

Joe: Give it a rest. You can’t have a company without people to run it. You may be perennially hacked off about your performance as an investor and their performance as a board, but to expect them to work for nothing is unrealistic.

Ltd Axis : indeed.

Jace : Absolutely

Aidan 31, you are right of course but looking at the sales recently you do wonder why people work on trivial margins but I guess if they do enough of it….

Good luck with your journey to break even. Anything is possible in life sciences.

In the current climate I’m seeing as a huge positive. A newspaper BU write up an a Dowgate investment in one week is unusually good news. As you say this is one of our top 3 investments and we should all enjoy the mornings good news as you never know what the afternoon will bring!
