The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Anyone know how easy it is to change a baby`s name since we called ours "Air Jen" (during the good old days of Synairgen). Of course got to cook up a good enough reason to convince the Mrs... as though I did not have enough to do !
Hope you are all keeping well.

Finally managed to get a few moments on my own to drop bye here. Hope you are all doing well
after the massive SP drop. Baby "Air Jen" doing fine except I wonder if I`ll regret secretly choosing the name. I was so hopeful about the prospects of SNG.. but I guess that`s life ands
much worst things can happen. Shames we never gots a chance to meet up for the party, but who knows.. maybe someday. Regards to all Jaffjoon
Just hear on radio 4 that business secretary Kwasi K is due to have discussions with North sea producers with a view to encouraging an increase in production. Don`t know if it was for gas or oil. Surely this would be excellent news for ENQ.
Can anyone confirm the Kwasi K story ?

Did anyone see the TV program (I think channel 171 or 172...PBS) last night about research labs conducting in-depth investigation on why Bats carry Covid but do not get sick / die from it ?? They mentioned that the reason was that Bats
dramatically increase their Interferon levels and hence block the paths to increase virus levels.... fascinating. I assume SNG are aware of this.
I have not posted here since the collapse for obvious reasons.

Although I`m invested in several energy shares, I am really surprized by todays energy strategy since there was no mention at all regarding the real problems with energy. Seems all concerned simply avoid "The elephant in the room".. which is the real problem.

Thebogis.. agree since I have had similar experiences with other share consolidations namely TESCO last year. My calculations showed that if the share was not held in an ISA or SIPP, depending on the amount of your investment,
you would end up paying tax on the "Special dividend" !! The only way round it seemed to be if the company called it
"Return of Capital" instead of dividend.

To all interested: I`m not going to be drawn into the arrival of Baby "Air, Jen" again since seems to be a bit of a sore point with some here and unnecessary distraction but thanks to all others for their support & wishes.
Suffice to say: How would you feel if you had a baby on Friday stuck with the name "Air , Jen" ???? can still change the name but with great difficulty. it hurts, man it hurts. (another mess I got myself into)
Regards: Jaffjen
Firstly ; Yes, we have had a bad few days but the good news is that "I`m still here" as most of us are.
I see an excellent future product for SNG as a preventive, protections (small hand held) nasal sparay or inhaler to offer a degree of protection against Covid , flue etc.... let me explain: Historically through-out Covid, when there was a possibility of catching anything, in addition to masks, hands and all the other precautions, I have used the "First Defence" anit -bacterial /virus nasal spray and continue to do so. In addition I have also purchased the SaNOtize (Nitric Oxide) nasal spray ( posted on this board on 10th Febs under subject "Glenmark Pharma "). The reason is that Covid / flue seem to first enter & incubate in back of throat / nasal passage (I stand to be corrected / educated on this) and any inhaler via mouth or nasal spray would seem a good product.
So; I see SNG as a similar future product that people can easily carry around with them and if they feel exposed, they can apply the product (mouth or nasal) very quickly, efficiently and without supervision. After all we are told we have to live with Covid in the same way as the Flu. SNG have now a vast amount of experience in inhalers and their product. There would be many advantages to this product including availability "over the counter" without prescription and the ease of application.
I would guess that SNG have considered this and as the urgency to save lives receeds via their existing inhaler product, they will be looking at new applications including COPD. So all is not lost by any means.
The thing to consider is, are others (Polygon etc.. ) possibly aware of a similar future for the SNG product via a nasal / inhaler spray. .. and continue to invest heavily ??
Your thoughts appreciated as always.
P.S: AXE & others: Could we please still proceed with the "Party" anyway, I know it may feel like a wake but so what, after all the purpose was to get together and exchange ideas and have a good laugh, and we can still laugh about it, it would be a relief to a lot of us, I`m sure.

Hi Porkerchips, seems a quite day on this board and I know this is a bit off topic but hopefully of use to some of you out there.
Subject: Capital gains set against Capital losses
Porkerchips; Please note that on the same document on the Gov. UK site under Capital Gains which you provided a link for, it states: "You can carry forward the remaining losses to a future year"
Since the sentence did not state how many years you can carry a Capital loss forward, I contacted HMRC directly on 29-03-21
and their response was: "If it was a limited number of years, they would have specified it and therefore it is indefinite"
I therefore only sold some PFC shares at a loss and more recently a second property (which I made a Capital gain on) based
on the information I had received from my telephone call with HMRC. I feel I have taken every precaution necessary to safeguard against supplying HMRC with incorrect information on my tax return.
Please do let me know if you have a different interpretation / understanding of these rules which I would be grateful for.
