Why didn't you sell some in 2021 Alan, after it 10-bagged? Did you want more than 10x your investment? All long-term holders have had plenty of chances to cash out, or at least get their original investment back. It's all about choices, and you chose to roll the dice. Now you want the company to pay you back...

Yep, hopefully more!

Suspect someone had a stop loss set at 31p. It only takes a moment to flush them out if they're visible. The other big trade is probably a sell as you say. Nice to see pressure on the ask late in the day for a change though. Who knows, maybe even a little tick up before the close?

So imagine you're a director of SAR & you've been offered a big chunk of discounted shares in the company as part of your remuneration package.

Then imagine you didn't have to wait 5 years for the shares to vest.

Now imagine there's no limit to the amount of cheap shares you can buy.

Then imagine you had been offered the shares at 35p each.

Lucky barstewards. Why don't they do the same thing for all their shareholders - or anyone in fact??

10p? So market cap of c. £23m with the prospect of a best-in-class drug this time next year in a market worth c. $26Bn in 2022. Think I'll keep buying, I like those apples!

UBS upping the target to 2800 (similar to Barclay's 2810) with a buy rating maintained, enough to propel the SP to new highs again today. All looking good for now at least.

Don't wet yourselves, it's the usual pump & dump. You need to be finding funds for the next placing once this has consolidated...

It's not that I didn't think it would happen potnak, it's that I didn't see it affecting the SP to the level we now find ourselves. As it happens, this plays perfectly for my personal agenda. I still have funds available from top-slicing a big chunk of my holding at just over 6p in old money, so I'll continue buying down at 5p intervals and in larger amounts, as I have done today. I appreciate what a fortunate position I am in, and that for many LTH's the current situation is pretty desperate. Having been there many, many times myself in other shares (VOG, TRP, CTT, HAWK, there are others that don't come instantly to mind...) I was determined this time that it wasn't going to happen again. So I top sliced, not just to recover my initial outlay but to a point where I thought to myself, this will do as a decent return on my investment, whatever happens from here. And it's played right into my hands. I just hope that, next time the opportunity arises as it surely will, people will remember the pain of this day and do the sensible thing. Good luck potnak, and all our LTH's (LSH's might be more appropriate, as in Long Suffering Holders) hope whatever your strategies are they pay off for you at some point. Nobody can say you don't deserve it. K

we were warned it would be a **** show as soon as the deal was announced. i didn't think it could be this bad though. 15 years of painful company growth wiped out in a few weeks.

We could certainly do with some leadership from our leaders, & that's a fact!

The volume is still pretty tiny though Aber, this feels more like simple manipulation to me. MM's hoovering up shares from fearful PI's. And don't forget, sooner or later the price has to recover even for RF to make any real money...

Darkest days before the dawn.

NO - 30-35!! Just bought another 5000 @ 34.2p Didn't they tell us yesterday the trial is progressing well? Do people not believe it??

40p on the ask again, few buys triggered so will it bounce straight back...??

I plan to tender my dividend, all things being equal by then. I know it's a risk, but holding DEC is a risk. If it works this time & they continue to offer this option I'll probably do it in future too.

NAV gradually recovering and the SP is trying its best to follow suit, hope it will continue.

Everything aligned except the funding bratt, because they don't have a pot to p!ss in at TRP do they?

Hi StarBright - yes I'm in BSIF. My portfolio consists of speculative growth shares (SAR where I've been lucky enough to accumulate a significant holding free running & PXS where I haven't) and then income shares to supplement my pension. So in that context, BSIF is one of around 40 dividend payers I hold as part of a diversified portfolio. It's at the lower-risk end and, as mentioned below, the dividend is almost 2x covered and yielding almost 9%. I hold a number of other renewables, including NESF & FSFL, all of which have suffered with the sector being out of favour but all still paying decent dividends and trading at a big discount to NAV. I would top up if I could but I've got other targets just now so will have to wait until more funds become available or things improve on the growth shares front.

Have you got any specific concerns about BSIF or have you not had chance to run the rule over it yet?

Yielding over 11% on 7p dividend now sidi, it won't stay like that forever...

BSIF is another, confirmed dividend target of 8.8p which is approximately twice covered and still near year-low sp @ just over £1...

Sorry coolbeans, I had that completely wrong. Don't know what the hell I was reading, must have been half asleep this morning. Thanks for the correction.
