The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Guys, guys, I'm literally shaking as I type this, no not because Richar can't tell his ‘their’ from his ‘there’ and his ‘their’ from his ‘they're’ but because I’ve just this minute woken from every Avactarian’s worst nightmare. I….I dreamt that this morning some Johnny come lately came onto this fabulous board and said with absolute certainty that the SP would be £1.20 by close of play today. So I did what any sensible investor would, I sold my entire holding of 776 shares for a huge loss of £43 only to find (Oh God no! NOOOOOOOOO!) the SP had actually gone up! Oh the howls of regret! The gut wrenching humiliation!
Well, you can imagine my relief to find I simply dreamt the whole thing.
Tis the devil’s work I say!
So keep the faith ye mighty Avactarians! Let not some deramping scu-m separate ye from these life changing shares!

Guys, guys, I’m literally shaking as I type this, no not because on day release from HMP Leeds my lovely lady wife suffered mild concussion trying to evade Security at Trinity shopping centre (she tripped over her mobility scooter and of course she’s suing the manufacturers – you try leaping over a 4-wheel ESport Royale with a Greggs in one hand and stolen goods in the other – those things are killers!), I’m shaking because I’ve just read Energyshares masterpiece “Why?”
Guys, it’s not just post of the week but post of the year for me, in fact there’s only one other time I’ve had a similar thunderbolt of lightening moment… Jan, 2001, Gala Bingo, Dewsbury. The night I first set eyes on my lovely lady wife, her honey blonde hair extensions falling round her shins, her puffed-out cheeks flushed under shimmering lights as she successfully resisted 4 of West Yorkshire Police’s finest. It’s true what they say - you just know when you’ve met The one.
Guys, I think we’re all breathing a little easier after a torrid 2022 for long term holders, am I right? And like many of you I too have managed to bring my average down to a tasty £2.37 although I don’t know why my £14 Buy at 8:45am yesterday was showing as a Sell. Clearly someone is trying to manipulate something for… for… someone. Hmmm! Wonder why? Hmmm! And is anyone else struggling to Buy this morning?? I’ve been trying since 8am! Hmmm! Pesky market makers !!
Guys, for some of us life is just a constant round of prison visits, Social Care conferences, school truancy board meetings and PS5 FIFA 21, it leaves little time to keep up with old friends here on this fabulous board. But I am always here in spirit. And one day – and that day is coming sooner than you think – the whole world will be going to bed fumbling under duvets and waking up clutching one our game changing phone chargers!
Can you feel it? Well can you??? I can feel it. It’s coming guys… it’s coming reeeeal soon! So puff out them big manly chests ye mighty Avactarians!! It's our time and we bow to no one with or without a pen-is!! Sing it!!!

Guys, guys, I’m literally shaking as I type this – no not because my lovely lady wife has just been caught attempting a prison breakout disguised as a Tina Turner tribute (the improvised wig was perfect…she just couldn’t quite conceal the tats and six o’clock shadow) - I’m shaking because my step daughter, Lacrisha Brianna, has just given birth to 13lb Sambuca Kalisha - which makes me a very proud step Grandfather! Lacrisha’s Social Worker says we might even get to see baby Sambuca before she’s put up for adoption which would be the best Christmas present ever because, face it guys, Christmas is for kids, right?
Guys, I know my recent absence from this fabulous board has led to wild speculation that I sold but it’s a lie. As a skint single step parent to 6 I just don’t get time to post anymore; too busy juggling School meetings, Youth Courts, and Social Care conferences on Zoom. Seriously guys, sitting around skimming TikTok videos during endless online meetings gets so draining I sometimes forget to buy scratch-cards. On Friday I even forgot to place the kids and Staffies nightly Just Eat orders. No they did NOT go hungry!! What kind of step Dad / dog owner do take me for?! I bought a dozen discounted chicken tikka wraps from the BP garage washed down with some quality export tins, and bless em the kids (and dogs) were all made up, especially tiny Treyvon, aged 7… “God help us, every one!” he yells. Lol!
So no, I have NOT sold! Unlike some I’m not giving up my babies til £25 per share and guys I’m getting a little tired of the bellyaching on this board. People need to remember why they invested. Do people really think the world’s not crying out for a game changing phone charger anymore?? Do people really still not get the benefits of a fully charged mobile phone??!! Cyril – sorry, Sir Al – didn’t just become a bad CEO overnight!! It took months. So let’s all get behind him and keep faith in our investment. In my case, 491 golden tickets averaging £1.79. Sweet
Finally, it’s time to vote for your ‘Avactarian of the Year’ and I’ve gone for TEMPLAR who surely wins for this gem alone: “To the person who stole my antidepressants, I hope you’re happy now” Hahaha! That’s the spirit!!
And to all my slightly depressed but brave and beautiful fellow Avactarians I simply say … chin up guys! 2022 is the nailed on transformational year 2021 should have been – and if it is, just remember who called it first. That’s right - Sujood (no need to thank him).
So Merry Christmas all, and to all a HUAppy New Year! Sing it…

Guys, guys, I’m literally shaking as I type this, no, not because my lovely lady wife has beaten off all competition to play ‘Hagrid’ in HMP Leeds Christmas panto ‘Harry Potter & the Stoned Philosopher’ – and I do mean ‘beaten’ all competition, adding another 6 months to her sentence. I’m shaking because I’ve just had a reply from HRH Prince William to my Earthshot idea to save the planet. It came to me in a flash during an adjournment to my step-daughter Nutella’s court case....
Recyclable condoms!! I mean… hello??… why’s no one thought of it before?!!
So I sent my concept to HRH together with other stuff I wanted to raise and this was his VERY encouraging reply …
“HRH Prince William has asked me to acknowledge your letter of the 22 Sept 2021 and responds as follows:
(1) He is not minded at this time to lend his support to the concept of ‘recyclable condoms’
(2) He is unable to ‘chase up’ with the relevant body a third party HUA application
(3) He is unable to ’have a word’ with the Home Secretary in relation to your wife’s sentencing
Notice the “at this time” bit?? Meaning he might support it in future! And how many of you can say you’re in touch with our future King?? Mom would be so proud
Turning to all things Avacta, this board’s been getting really fractious of late with new faces, old faces, and frankly multiple-faces appearing; rampers, derampers, cross-rampers, and, in keeping with the times, trans-rampers - which I fully support by the way (please don’t cancel me LSE!) Guys, being a single parent to 5 step kids, several Pitbulls and a pet python, all presenting challenging behaviours, I’ve often struggled falling asleep. Which is why Wyndrum is my favourite deramper. I find that by the time I’m 9 or 10 paragraphs into one of his posts I’m out like a light. So big thanks to him!
Now I know we’re all strapped in ready for the big £2.50 finish! But I for one don’t care if it’s today. I don’t care if it’s today, next week or next year, I know where this baby’s going, and though I’m often accused of putting all my ££ eggs in one basket I say this: it’s MY housing benefit, I’ll do what I want with it! So hold fast ye mighty Avactarians! The die is cast and our big, beautiful day is coming! Sing it….

Guys, guys, I'm literally shaking as I type this - no, not because having self-identified as a man my lovely lady wife has re-self-identified as a woman and having been released from Solitary she’s currently living the dream running the entire East Wing of HMP Leeds - a stunning achievement for a female con in an all male prison and a real life lesson for our eldest, Nutella, currently on remand for assaulting a Careers Officer, that you can be anything you wanna be if you put your mind to it - I’m shaking because while all the talk this week has been about the long awaited Bond release the real high-octane stuff was unfolding online in a spine-tingling webinar featuring our very own Mr Cool, Mr Calm, Mr Pre/CISION highly specific substrate for fibroblast activation protein-a(FAPa), yes, I’m talking Mr Transformative, Transformative, Transformative, Cyril – sorry, Sir Al – setting out his vision to take on the global Spectre (mwahahaha!) of Covid and Cancer.
What a guy! What a share! What a shumper!
And seriously guys, how lucky are we to be here?! No, I don’t mean Leeds; I mean HERE, in on the ground floor of a biotech start-up that could be worth $billions in 2-3 yrs transforming the lives and outcomes of Cancer patients everywhere! Myles McNulty has come in for some stick of late but long before some of you were born he's been calling this a 'once in a life time' opportunity, and I believe time will prove him absolutely right.
Aroused? Not so fast! I haven’t even begun to talk dirty about our game changing phone charger soon to be selling in the zillions as more and more of us discover the amazing benefits of charging our mobile phones.
Yeah, yeah, you’ve been banging this Avacta drum for years Indy, so what’s changed, you ask.
Duh!! Let me put it sooo simply that even I understand: Pre/CISION can be incorporated into a drug conjugate linker for release of the targeted warhead in the tumour microenvironment! So suck it up doubters!! Yeah, I’m looking at you Ndn71!! And at risk of stating the blindingly obvious: significant toxicities such as mylosupression and peripheral neuropathy limit the effectiveness of paclitaxel-based treatment regimens!! But I guess you already knew that.
So hold fast ye mighty Avactarians!! Be strong! Be fearless! Be in no doubt our Cyril – sorry, Sir Al – knows exactly what he’s doing with all that there Pre/CISION malarkey !! Sing it…

Apologies, beautiful Avactarians! Last post meant for GGP board - my other spectacularly underperforming share (I pick 'em)
For once I'm NOT literally shaking as I type this. Since hitting key milestones (1) first sale, and (2) first dose, I've never felt more serene in my Avacta investment with a final top up @ 113... another @ 109... and another this morning @ 102. And if it should go sub £1 the kids have agreed to forgo the remainder of their school hols wacky baccy allowance so I can top up again because.... because you'll be amazed how a single box of McCain Quick Chips and a tin of Lidl Minted Lamb Soup can more than satisfy a hungry family of six.
Yes, Cyril - sorry, Sir Al - will just miss out on this year's nominations for Most Communicative CEO, but whilst ever his laser focus remains on the quality of the products, that's good enough for me. And without putting a Sujood-style date on it I'm confident that sooner rather than later we'll all be thankful we rode out this SP fall.
Stay strong / hold fast ye mighty Avactarians!
Indy
Guys, guys, I'm literally shaking as I type this, no not because my lovely lady husband (formerly wife) is in solitary for assaulting three Lifers and a visiting Anger Management Therapist, I’m shaking because POD65 posted this yesterday: "… I’m staying in [Avacta] partly due to Poirot, Ophidian, Bella and other amateur research analysts..." But…...PL75 deserves a big shout out, surely? Okay, okay, we know he can be a little rough with dissenters and maybe his bedside manner doesn’t always work so well outside Leeds, but by golly he’s been consistently right these last 18 mths reigning in expectation when some of us (me for instance) got way ahead of ourselves banking Richken’s £25 by Christmas (to be fair he never said which Christmas) and always falling for Sujood’s good old ‘Annie’ routine: “Tomorrow, tomorrow, bet ya bottom dollar that tomorrow, we’ll be rich. It’s coming. Thank me later. Well done all. Annie.”
And talking of dissenters, Guys, are we snowflakes or grown men / women? Are we hard enough to tolerate disagreement without bawling like a baby trying to turn this fabulous board into a dull echo chamber? I’m a diehard Avactarian; I believe we’ll sell all the game changing Phone Chargers we can make, but I don’t want to see doomsters and dissenting voices cancelled. Why? Because I’m not in the Brownies. Because I’m relaxed about having my faith tested even by derampers. Because this board isn’t moderated by the Chinese Communist Party...yet
One incessant poster who only appeared a few weeks ago devotes half his/her posts trying to silence other posters who have the nerve to challenge Cyril – sorry – Sir Al's somewhat elasticated timescales
Guys, here’s a coping strategy I learnt as a kid watching grown ups deal with other grown ups they happen to disagree with….ignore em. That’s right. If certain posters stick in your craw, try this simple remedy… Don’t. Read. Their. ****. Posts. And if you filter them, don’t then ask the rest of us to copy/ paste what they’re saying (!)
Finally, I can’t have been the only one to get a little lump in my throat knowing we are now actively evaluating AVA6000 with a patient. I mean, how unbelievably exciting is that? We’ve all lost loved ones to Cancers - TonyFawcett is, I believe, still fighting it (best of British to him). So let us all unite with pride to be invested in a UK firm that may one day even help extend our own lives or our nearest and dearest.
Current SP stinks, I agree, but I'm sure our first clinical trial patient would gladly trade places with any one of us. So hold fast and keep faith ye mighty Avactarians!! Sing it…

Apologies Bamps, I promise to try harder. Mum's just bought me a brand new school set complete with tartan pencil case so that should help my comprehension (looking forward to jabbing Smiffy with my new extra sharp drawing compass!). Anyway, don't allow numbskulls like me deter you; I may not have the first idea what you mean but oooh I love it when you talk all technical.
Indy
Hydro... as your number one fan I continue to salute your peerlessly positive / cogent posts! But I worry you're losing some of your trademark flair and bravado. Although its only been a few days it feels like years since you were forecasting GGP "will be 25p next week". Spectacularly wrong though your predictions are always guaranteed to be, I am surely not alone in missing the sunshine and laughter they bring. So please, Maestro, don't be bashful ... tell us what the SP "will be" next week (anything less than 25p and you'll make a grown man cry).
Indy
Guys, guys I’m literally shaking as I type this – no, not because my lovely lady wife has finally received her – sorry, his - gender recognition certificate and can now transfer to an all-male prison (HMP Doncaster) and a reunion with son Blake, nephew Zayden, Uncle Jayden, Uncle Hayden, and Nutella’s biological father, Reese – I’m shaking because taking inspiration from so many of you I too contacted my local MP to raise Avacta’s profile and here’s the incredible response I’ve literally just received … like, literally just now, incredible:
“Dear Mr xxxxxx
In reply to your letter of 1 July:
(1). No, the restraining order preventing your wife from attending my surgery does not apply to you.
(2). No, I cannot “have a quiet word” with the Justice Secretary regarding your wife’s sentence for “a bit of furlough fraud along with 27 other offences”
(3). No, I will not raise with the PM, or the Chancellor, or the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs “the amazing Avacta game changing Avacta phone charger from Avacta”
(4). I am returning your enclosed £20 bank note”
Sorry guys, not the response I expected (Galloway’s getting my vote next time).
Guys, having averaged all the way up to £2.80 I’m now looking at an eye-watering paper loss that means I can no longer afford the strictly hush-hush Barnsley Northern Soul Weekender and may even need to cancel my Minecraft magazine subscription. Hard times. But I take comfort knowing the last time Alwaysweeing came on here spraying his doomy, gloomy, narcissistic wee … we shot up 19p!
So hold fast / keep faith ye mighty Avactarians!! Though it's been so long I cannot remember, never forget why you invested here. We are the army! The mighty, mighty Avacta army! Sing it…

Wow, JRDC... just....like... wow. I'm with Saxondale, I try not to read any of the made up 'hogwash' on this board. But your post was so good I read it again and again with one of my lovely lady wife's slim panatela's (at least I think that's what it was - it was down the back of the settee).
Peace hug
Indy
Seriously guys, the language on here tonight is so problematic – I haven’t felt so shocked / disgusted since my lovely lady wife came on to me like a foul-mouthed Leeds fan insisting it would spice things up. Fortunately concerned neighbours called the police and an ambulance (the fire service weren't needed in the end... apologies to them).
Avactarians are better than this. If we really must hate down on one another let’s try and use respectful and inclusive obscenities. Show em what we mean PL75
Peace out
Indy
Leaving aside all that dud "intel" and a record of forecasting surpassed only by Michael Fish, his positivity and panache make Hydro far and away my favourite poster on this board. I'd shake and scream like a star-struck teen if I ever bumped into him! My second favourite pin-up is Tiggerman... it would be a real disappointment to learn that he doesn't in fact spend the first hour of every day agonising over which fadora and cravat combination to wear; and although lacking a Masters in Mineralogy and therefore rarely able to follow a word he says, my third favourite pin-up is Bamps. Zoros and other equally fabulous pin-ups rise and fall and rise and fall on this thrilling board.
And soaring above them all is Paddygal – hence St Paddy. I've followed his selfless and serene musings for well over 18 months now to a point where I sometimes tick-up even without bothering to read what he says; for all I know he could be advocating the slaughter of the firstborn…lovely… fine ... tick-up....such is my faith in his faith in Greatland Gold.
Although encouraged by his most recent interview I’m still to be completely won over by our CEO; still to be convinced our dispiriting SP fall has now finally bottomed. But with earnings from washing neighbours' cars and taking Auntie Joyce to B&M I’ve added a little to my holding.
I'm now away for the summer and shall look in again when the leaves are falling and see where our SP is then. Meantime wishing all holders a bumper summertime special !!
