The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
There is always risk vs reward, POLY EVR currently being the top picks. I question how likely it is for any company that with multi billion turnover to simple vanish in value. Yes this could be delisted, privatised, split, there are many scenarios but I see value left in all of them over time. If anyone’s put their lifesavings into this, I think that’s crazy too, even so it may pay off, but I prefer a cautions approach to invest an amount I am prepared to lose, but hope to at the very least quadruple. *No pun intended”
Just bought a small stake 1.2p - allowing for a placement. Can’t see this one going down, maybe a t/o maybe a loan, some directors bought in the 30s so here is hoping for a few bags.
Got a bag - sold not being too greedy but wish holders the best here. Looks like CA did us all proud.
Hi Robbie, I am also down heavily on Alba, but agree with you. For me it’s balancing risk vs potential, when less is known. I think part of the reason Alba has dropped back is down to them having really great presence on media BBC etc., this pulled a lot of attention and now impatience stagnation and worry has come into play. We have more information now than when I’d invested, but Alba is still a risk. Thing is when ‘good’ news comes, this could rocket and we’ve got to be in to win and I don’t know anyone who can rightly claim perfect timing for buys/sells.
Each to their own, but I could never be comfortable with being all in on one stock, SNG is one of my larger holdings even after I’d de-risked this some. I believe it has a bright future but anything can happen with stocks.
Hmmm - yes there was an open offer, open all all on Primary Bid and outside of SIPP / ISA - A corporate action would have covered this, and at least shown some consideration to existing shareholders.
Not sure which - sold at 158, 30% down - want this in my SIPP so placed a 150 or less limit to buy.
If they did this via corporate action - I’d have simply opted in, but open via primary bid isn’t showing any loyalty to existing holders.
Was there any talk yesterday about claimants honesty or lack of this when applying for loans, or their guarantors? FCA are supposed to have a balanced view! Agree with most comments here about Shareholders already paying the price from former highs too.
