It's a breakout of recent highs

£560k trade at top prices earlier may have pushed it up

Yes, seems to be taking fewer buys to raise the ask at present...

Ted maybe make your attempts at deramping OPTI and ramping SBTX a little less obvious eh? It's embarrassing.

"I would argue SOH in particular give too much of his time to retail investors." I would content that this is very far from reality.

So far I have yet to make any contact with the company through Walbrook. And whilst a select few retail investors have SOH's ear, this isn't a luxury either I nor the majority of his shareholders have.

If SOH were to make himself more available to shareholders maybe they would be better informed and more likely to retain their position in the company.

It is very much the CEO's responsibility to educate the market on his company and how he is delivering for shareholders.

The company communications shouldn't just be about issuing an RNS then hoping that shareholders and investors pick up the trail of breadcrumbs to sufficiently understand the company. Other CEOs are far more adept at communicating with the market and ensuring that the messages are received... and understood correctly.

The company is poor at engaging with investors - the contact link on the website leads to a PR company from whom I've never had a response, the twitter account doesn't engage with shareholders either. SOH needs to up his comms game if he thinks that he's going to list in the US market.

Nasdaq listings don't come cheap...

Yes Robbie and what's more this company in the US are doing this *at cost to themselves* - that seems to have been totally overlooked.

Indeed there is a difference, you just have to look at for example FFWD who specialise in unlisted investments and publish a NAV every few months, look at the permanent state of apathy they have with investors. Then look at (eg) GCL who invest in listed assets and publish a NAV daily. GCL tends to trade above NAV by anything up to 10%.

There's no one size fits all but the market ultimately decides how much these things are worth on the balance sheet

At some point they'll find out where the RNS machine is

Knowing how ultra cautions Stephen is, he wouldn't have issued that statement at half year if he had any inclination of the full extent of covid impact in H2. I don't think anyone was expecting such a strong resurgence beyond the first wave given how low levels were when the H1 report was issued. Clearly with hindsight, expectations were raised but it is what it is. Onwards.

Woolworth, those small trades of 5 shares and others like them, as we discussed recently are not trades made by retail punters.

Maybe if you spent less time sniping at other members of this board and blocking users with whom you don't agree you might learn something about the company.

'Someone' removing posts is the London South East admins, and if they're removing your posts maybe have a think why?

Very much doubt that any changes to personal taxation would take effect whilst many people are still struggling to get through lockdown

I've not seen any of those six-figure sells yesterday. Maybe our seller has relented.

Yes we have two world-class (even maybe world-beating) products already in production and we have a third ready to go. Yet nobody knows about them.

Indeed - Slimbiome is not exactly a poor product either :-/

Opti has four platforms similar to the Sbtx one, so the value is here for those who have the patience to invest. Rightly or wrongly Opti's profits increase as Sbtx rises so it's underpinned the company nicely.

I see that Mr Pick-n-mix has had another batch of posts removed. He doesn't seem to understand why which is not surprising.

A salutary reminder of how fickle the markets can be especially in times of nervousness. Nevertheless, OPTI still has potentially its busiest year ahead of it.

In other news, nice to see that our resident village idiot has stepped up to keep us all entertained as usual.
