Agreed Aber - I would not be surprised if there was an"iceberg" trade in the background. All buys seem to be mopped up without the Bid being dropped. I posted a while back that it is 3% for a TR-1 for UK registered companies and 5% for overseas registered companies.

If I recall correctly, Gilead took a 15% stake in Sierra Oncology a few years back before GSK swooped in. I would not be shocked if something similar happened here. My comments are pure speculation as I have no actual knowledge of such a move, but it would make sense for any interested party to fly under the radar until reaching the TR-1 thresholds. Cheap shares acquired would probably go up substantially on any such announcement and commercial progress and - dare I say it - offset the cost of a license deal.

Are we all wasting our time then Gunner - we are just at the start of the commercial process and not the end of it as your post implies. Would you buy a house “off plan” or wait until built?

…..seems to be brewing up for Sareum at just the right time. Covid demonstrated what these viruses are capable of sadly. The world will definitely require effective treatments - Sareum about to enter the arena.

Errrr.... The Scientists are on the Board of Directors - just sayin'

Good news Colbalt - congrats. Opens up a completely new way of life and provides an opportunity to put right what you got wrong with your own kids. They Keep you young also. Wish you every success

it is very difficult to discuss the downside when you have made such a sweeping and negative comparison to other companies. fair enough if you demonstrate your point with an apples for apples comparison but you have yet to do that. you seem to have just looked for a reason to **** off the bod again without any evidence.

And it achieved absolutely sweet f a and the shareprice is still floundering. The results haven’t been speeded up because they cannot be. I appreciate that there are differences of opinion - what is your opinion on the outlook for Sareum?

…..Sell in May and go away, buy back in St. Legers Day. This year it is 14th Sept. Could turn out to be quite prophetic.

Hope it happens again Potnak. We are close to the beginning of a new opportunity after many years. I am not sure that Sareum will go it alone as funding requirements could be a lead weight. Not long until we all find out our fate. Have a good break.

Maybe you could post a link to a few examples so that we can see if you are comparing apples with apples.

You recently called for an email campaign against the BoD - where did that go? Your posts are always full of subtle negativity. So yes - you are “at it again” IMO

LseSar - you are at it again. Ask yourself who controls the shareprice and does the City try to get as many shares as possible on the cheap. Sareums development has now reached an important stage with the news due. The BoD cannot make things up to appease investors. It would be illegal. Maybe they could have done a few things better with hindsight but not much IMO.

I would agree with your observation if Sareum were still in this position in 6 months time with successful trials behind them. Just give it time to unfold. We are now at the Business end of Sareums development

Must be lovely to believe in the technology implicitly and to trust the market. I genuinely envy you as I am a fully paid up cynic who doesn’t trust MMs/Brokers or traders and their fake altruism.

I also wouldn’t trust the guy posting on Advfn about a deal with GSK as he/she is likely to have an ulterior motive.

Manipulation, spoofing, laddering, naked shorting and suppression are just a figment of the imagination when - in reality - what you see is what you get. I have been going wrong all these years.

MM's still applying pressure to the Ask in order to keep the sp down. Interesting period as a 7am RNS on Monday morning would set a few pulses racing here. Shorts beware!

Google knows everything Laura

To add to Abers comments - the short positions will also have to close out with buybacks. Should fuel a decent rise. It won’t be long now and they know it

You have read that incorrectly Fred - that section only applies to Brokers who naked short shares. Watch out when Surfie buys in and reduces his/her ridiculous stated average. We will certainly motor.

Brilliant for a further top up Surfie - get that atrocious average of yours right down. You could even make a big profit by buying at these levels. If the arithmetic is too difficult just ask. We can help.

This walk down is not too subtle is it. Shocking behaviour. The spivs and their lackeys are shameless

City spivs wanting cheap shares again. Not so subtle deramping either. Ignore the repetitive FUD and just wait for news. What these Fudsters can’t deal with are facts and rely on drift. Their narrative will be forced to change when news does eventually drop.

Funnyguy mentioned nobody’s assumptions had been proven to be right. Had they been proven to be right they wouldn’t be assumptions they would be facts. I don’t think his 10 year old lad will play for England either. Based purely on the fact that Funnyguy doesn’t understand potential let alone nurture and promote it.

Anyway Fudsters - you know what’s coming and maybe quite soon - time to buy back in and change your tune maybe…..just sayin’

Evening HBD - yes the BoD can rebuff a poor offer. My post was in response to Krustys low ball offer post. My point being that there is a safety process in place to protect shareholders and to let them have their say/vote.

We won’t be going for a song that’s for sure

I agreed with a recent poster who observed that Tim would not have had to move anywhere for a licensing deal to take place. The current leadership gap is being filled by Stephen Parker as Executive Chairman. Clearly, in such a small Company, there is little succession planning from within so an external candidate is the obvious route. Tim could have had to move across due to personal reasons (which I sincerely hope isn't the case) or it is a stipulation for an acquisition with a new CEO being parachuted in once agreement is reached and signed, or, he has just had enough, or, there is a conflict of interest with a 3rd Party that requires him to step away from negotiations. Nobody will know in the short term unless an announcement is forthcoming.

I cannot see Sareum BoD accepting a low ball offer when licensing could be more lucrative so I disagree with Krustys £108m valuation (albeit a throwaway valuation comment). Any offer that the BoD receives that is considered both reasonable and credible would have to be put to shareholders. So the share would be suspended pending the outcome of any vote held at an EGM. During that suspension period, other offers could be received and also voted on. So there is a decent safety net that would prevent low ball offers being recommended and/or accepted. Once any offer is accepted by the shareholders, the share is re-admitted to AIM at the offer price and trading continues.

A Company could try purchasing via shares on the open market. That would trigger a TR-1 for 3% ownership or 5% if overseas. There are other dark arts that can be employed but that is probably taking speculation too far.

In my opinion, all remains good here with developments likely to be going on behind the scenes and covered by NDA's. In the meantime, we just need to sit it out and follow the news.

Apologies to those of you that already knew the processes.
