The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Also the big buyer(s) is still here, always seems to start around midday I think?
In other news, mid-july is tomorrow :)
Wow, unexpected news from a share I had basically written off. May be in some profit soon if this continues :)
roly, I understand your concerns about the profitability & marketing of the new tests. One thing which has put my mind at ease on this issue is the recent Mercia call (talked about further down) who own a significant amount of MHC. They said they had been having informal discussions with the board and were pleased with the 'sensible' approach to marketing the new products.
So it sounds like there is a plan there somewhere, beyond just hoping people fall onto the website or brief email campaign.
Little poll on twitter about guessing MyHealthchecked H1 22 revenue: https://twitter.com/CharlieUK98/status/1545764661064237059
On reflection, they have a 28% position in the company so my suggestion of upgrading is unrealistic. I think they will hold for significant returns though.
The key line for me is that they liked the "responsible" approach to marketing & sales of the new tests. Suggesting that MHC do have a plan to sell these tests which the asset management company think are sensible.
Absolutely. The more important thing is that come Monday we don't drop straight back down to 1.5 as we've seen happen far too often!
30 minutes, lets get this to 2p.
The trades have jumped up since pretty much bang on 12pm today. Lots of loading up for the trading update next week?
These numbers that you guys are sending are just getting better & better. I've been peeking at the reviews now and then and have noticed that there has been a couple of negative reviews lately saying that it has been difficult to get a hold of anyone at MHC.
To me, that just means that sales are booming & everybody at MHC is very busy right now. We know their customer service has been excellent up until now and nothing has changed apart from a renewed pressure on COVID test sales.
Good find, I saw their name pop up last week on the upcoming announcements email and did think I should check in on them but never got around to it.
It would be good & send very positive signals if Mercia upgraded their position here.
Ah, that would be it GWillerz79. I completely forgot about £ENT's update today and I even posted about it the other day! lol
No idea. Maybe uncertainty around the Gambling regulation now the Boris regime is over? Could new leader take the review and implement stricter regulation? Last week we had the good news that this Government weren't going to implement anything as strong as was expected, but that' could all be out of the window now.
But on the bright side, the unexpected leadership bets should be a nice little earner for the bookies
I didn't even know this thing could rise anymore! lol
But I see green on AIM (rarer than a blue cow) and so I bet on it
I don't disagree with you HotChip, but it does feel like we've all been saying that for 2 years now lol. Great company that is very good at testing patience. But patience should be rewarded :)
US markets were closed yesterday so may have helped it get there. But it is there none the less!
Yeah, I can see that TikTok trend very easily getting out of control and causing a few fights. Especially considering that is trending among mainly young lads and the film is a family film for kids. I'm sure 99% of it is good-natured but there's always the 1% that go too far. Hopefully, CINE staff are on the ball and ensuring their customer's safety & experience.
I imagine something like that kicking off could very easily put a number of families off coming back to the cinema ever again.
Hopefully, the clubs reject this, no idea why the Premier League want to do this.

Entain trading update on Thursday is one to watch just to get a vibe of how the sector is doing.
I think 888 is on its way to becoming a major player in this game now with the WH acquisition complete and the branching into new markets we've seen over the past year.
It's now about making the best use of the new assets they've obtained. Milking the WH brand, integrating their technology and learning from their most experienced staff.
A well-run company from what I've seen throughout my holding of about 1 year now.
Thanks for your thoughtful response. I agree that Cineworld has revenue growth potential, I've been looking at the numbers today. But the big issue is that their free-cash flow is extremely limited, made worse by the fines they have received.
I am still trying to understand the Israeli judgement, which is one of the major reasons for starting this thread. The press seems to suggest that Cineworld will be getting the fine and Cineworld has refused to comment until the October judgement. I could be wrong on that fact, but still, the Cineworld CEO receiving a suspended prison sentence and personal fine is not a good look for an already battered company.
Perhaps what this Company needs is an urgent shuffle in the boardroom.
I'm also of the opinion that the next set of results could be much better than expected. Top Gun blew up, I think Minions film will get a boost of unexpected box office revenue from the viral meme going around at the moment. Lightyear flopped but it's a fairly standard kids film that will bring in the families. The Elvis biopic should bring in some of the older generation. So the next set of figures should actually be pretty decent.
But it is hard to speak well of this company considering all of the legal & managerial BS that is occurring and very hard to ignore.
I agree with you giantsquid, I was probably been a bit kind. My opinion was that they would be able to squeeze funds from somewhere to pay it, it wouldn't have been good but it wouldn't have been the worst-case scenario.
But news around here just seems to get worse and worse. I can understand why bankruptcy is being floated here.
@Tegop the numbers "pulled out of my hole" are from their last published balance sheet. It also is not just "one person" being fined. A decision will be made in October by the court for both the individual AND the company. I imagine the company will be required to pay damages.
