Let down again....

Apologies. I thought you were contrasting the uselessness of anything government-run with the fizzy, energetic approach of private enterprise. I now realise you were doing something else although I am not sure what that night be.

That's odd - what happened to Mattvn's original post?

I'm not sure everyone's THAT convinced but it's probably a market they would like to be in, here's the entrance, nd a lot of the hard work has been done for them.

"..this is far too much like an old government research centre. .." Rather than an energetic, go getting, private enterprise like Carillion Freddy........... ;-)

.. buys impressive.

..seems to be the autos favourite number today!

.. but it appears the market is taking the consolidation news pretty well.

Agree.

start to play catch-up with the rising MTFB price soon.

Just three remarks in a complex issue. One, markets are only perfect if we all have perfect knowledge: no entity here has perfect knowledge, not even the CEO, but some certainly have a lot more knowledge than others. Two, markets don't work with monopolies and in stocks, while you shouldn't have monopolies, you certainly have players which, if they own 20% of a Co, can certainly try to make the price do what they want. Three, the strategies of an agent or middleman makes these things even more complex as they have their own agenda, usually that volume is all, so do anything to stimulate supply AND demand. I'm sure specialist micro-economists can add more, and plenty out there can add more curses!

Seems more a case of Illumina going begging to Thermo for superior technology?

...good.

Thanks for pointing that out. Nothing here is cut&dried is it!

Hasn't been AIM since 2001 I think.

Good post. Perhaps also the consolidation will also draw investors' attention to the fact that, at this market cap, the IP comes pretty well free of charge! I agree that exosomes are long-term prospect but it may be that other workers move the dial for us: it's getting to be a hot research topic worldwide, so it may be that a gradual accumulation of good news in the area lifts us with the rising swell. It just might be a good year...

..AND more sellers

If it stimulates more buyers are more sellers, it's more liquid.

... will do nicely for starters.

.. that the medium/long term effect of this will be positive, as do the Board obviously. As well as bringing in institutions that might not countenance penny shares, I have to wonder if, along with other developments, it might be related to a possible NASDAQ listing? Anyone out there see advantages if that's the intention??
