Like most people I haven't got a clue whether the SP will go up or down tomorrow, but an 8% fall a day after a 300% rise seems like a pretty strong performance to me. Remember PYM is still valued at only £23 million, a quarter of OXB's value and appears to have had the more promising test results. I think I'll stick with this one for a while yet.

I don't normally touch this type of company, but having done a bit of research it does look worth a punt. They have no debt, enough cash to keep them going for a while and seem to get a fair bit of money from charitable organizations for research. Missed all the early gains and got in at just over 27p. However, with a company valuation of £25 million and the possibility - I know it's still early days - of producing a drug that is the world leader in the fight against Parkinson's, it looks very cheap.

Birthdays under offer from tescos? I would be interested where you get that from. Why would they bother when they could cherry pick the best stores from administration for next to nothing? That apart I think CC is a lot stronger without Birthdays and I've bought 50,000 shares, so I hope you are right about the share price. Myself I think it will be next year before we see any significant increase.

Sorry about the loss - hope you make it back soon. All the best.

I was disappointed that the disposal was for £70 million when there had been a rumour in the press of one for £247 million. I managed to get out this morning with a nice profit - bought at 29p - but it could have been more! PS if you are going to jinx my shares, stay off the Yell board, it's the only share I'm holding at the moment.

Out at 49p - not sure how positive or not the RNS was. It would be a shame to lose a good profit.

Yes - don't see any reason to get out yet.

You are like a good luck charm to me, everytime you say short about shares that I own they shoot up in price. Keep up the good work!

Brixton: The industrial property specialist is understood to be close to agreeing the sale of a 2.4 million sq ft property portfolio in West London for close to £250 million to AEW Europe. The deal should help to strengthen Brixton’s cash position.

57,000 at 29p - so I might be talking through my pocket!

At the moment the banks seem to be helping the companies with plenty of assets or good management - BDEV,TW and JJB are just a few examples of this. In my opinion Brixton are in a far stronger position than TW were 6-months ago. If the banks are helpful - which will most likely mean higher interest payments - this share could easily fly to the £1 mark. However, as with all recovery stocks it's a gamble, but even in recession they are still meeting their interest payments and making decent profits.

If you think they will recover to anything like their former heights, then 35p is very cheap.

Assets of £2.90 per share after a 30% write down of their property portfolio and underlying earnings of 15p per share. I know there is a lot of debt, but it looks an excellent recovery play to me. Bought just over 57,000 at 29p on friday, hopefully I'll get a decent return somewhere in the not to distant future.

I'm afraid I don't know how - sorry if that makes me look thick! However, if you go into the telegraph website, then into the business section, then into sectors, then retail it should be one of the main headlines. Hope that helps.

"DSG International, the owner of the Currys and PC World electrical goods retailers, has begun preparations for a rights issue to raise hundreds of millions of pounds."

RDW has been good to me in the past couple of months, but I think it's beginning to look a little expensive in todays climate. Others look better value at the moment, I've taken my profits and topped up my TW holding.

The banks have asked for their money back ! Looks like the end of the road.

You may as well ask my two border collies for investment advice than listen to people on BB'S - no disrespect to Buller or Moneyman. You have a right old mixture of those who invest for a living, some a hobby and others who seem to get their kicks from acting the bigshot on as many BB's - usually under different names - as they can. You may get decent advice from the first two groups, but the third group are just idiots who make a lot of silly claims. Always remember you decided to buy or sell - if you can't or are too lazy to do your own research - stay away from the stockmarket or pay a professional for advice.

In these difficult days you can forget about many of the reasons that you used to invest in a company. Previous figures and share prices, as well as prospective earnings are no use if the management lack quality and honesty. This board have mislead shareholders and not kept them informed. I find it amazing that a company this size spent over £3 million in restructuring costs. Sell before you lose all your money!

Four directors bought shares at a total cost of less than £4,500, hardly a positive action. My advice would be to leave this company alone. In my opinion and many of it's ex-shareholders the management are either totally useless or dishonest and I think it's the latter.
