J.kemp & OSD (aka DOG) - I hope you’re not questioning the wisdom of VikR, our resident medical expert, renowned visiting Professor & Homes Under The Hammer regular?

Licker - not sure tax increases would necessarily push up inflation?

Depends who they're directed at I guess.

Businesses - yes that might well be inflationary.

Individuals - more likely the opposite, as they'd then have less disposable income, so reducing demand.

BarnsleyB - ever occurred to you you’re being just as childish as Bagzzz’s pupils by interacting with him still?

Just filter him as I did ages ago. Posters like that thrive off the oxygen of publicity, which is exactly what you’re giving him currently.

Rebarm - humourless algorithms have taken over the world, don’t you know.

Rebarm - in its infinite wisdom, LSE redacts what it considers to be naughty words and relegates any “offending” post to lower case letters only.

The latter making perfect sense, huh?!

Alesia - I’d ignore J.kemp if I were you.

Not sure what they’re up to, but it certainly has little to do with giving a factual balanced opinion.

I’d also steer well clear of Professor1’s words of wisdom. Anyone who WRITES ALL IN CAPS half the time & relies on AI rather than occasionally engaging their own brain ain’t much of a professor in my book.

VikR - I'm neither pond life, nor in the least bit jealous. But thanks for your concern.

Just utterly bemused at your propensity to total self-delusion.

VikR - you DO realise with every new post you're making more of a laughing stock of yourself?

OSD / DOG - "PPL SAYING THEY HAVE BEEN GIVEN SENSITIVE COMPANY INFORMATION DIRECTLY BY THE COMPANY & THEN DIVULGING IT ON HERE IS WAY BEYOND BELIEF."

Yes, laughable.

Except that VikR is a world-renowned academic, multi-billionaire & dispensing clinician who also appears regularly in Homes under the Hammer auction rooms. So I believe their EVERY word.

Hattie64 - anyone know a PI with the relevant qualifications who could do a dummy application for the role?

An interview would be a great way to get a feel for where the company's REALLY at (since they hardly ever bother updating investors).

You know, something along the lines of: "I AM very interested in the job, but am a bit concerned about the company's stability having seen what's recently been announced about your current cash position and a potential part or full sale of the business".

Skippy - yes, 'reliable sources' sounds the sort of thing the Daily Mail writes when someone invents a story during their boozy lunch break.

Sorry oscar2, but I simply can't be doing with wading through your thesis.

Short & snappy's the way forward.

Martinu - as an Amazon seller, I can tell you they won’t normally show monthly sales for any given product.

They may badge a few, but that doesn’t mean others are slower sellers. Also, you can’t tell much from review numbers, as the vast majority of customers won’t leave one unless incentivised (which is generally outlawed anyway).

Opti was formed in 2012 but it only listed on AIM in 2014.

OSD - not very Christian language for a vicar.

I shall be escalating this matter to the Archbishop of CanterMcCarthy forthwith.

Don't think this morning's RNS moves the dial either way. Though it has - if anything - had a negative impact on the SP so far.

As for VikR saying "The news in build up to the deal RNS is landing frequently now as they are gearing up the momentum, because a decent baseline MC will only help the proposed offer on the table."

AFAIC. there hasn't been ANY significant news since their 1 September RNS. And whilst that 1 September RNS triggered a major re-rate (from a close of 2.23p on 29 Aug to a peak close of 17.6p on 15 Sept), momentum hasn't been sustained since then. Quite the opposite in fact.

Bazzao - progress has certainly been very slow. But Opti floated on AIM 5th August 2014, which ain't 17-18 years ago - least not as far as PIs are concerned.

Personally, I suspect all the gloomsters on here are descending into another doom loop, just as Opti starts showing tentative progress towards profitability.

Even assuming nothing comes of Sweetbiotix, which I'm hopeful it will. Eventually.

3LB - bit rich of you to say: "There appears to be lots of nerves here which is strange. Chill guys." when you've been the one whipping up most of the nervousness in recent weeks.

FS - most fledgling companies require additional funding rounds to stay afloat.

Had Opti done this through placings, we’d probably have been diluted to oblivion by now.

At least SBTX sales prevents that from happening. And SOH invested very little to form SBTX.

DOG - “Let it be known: this is not capitulation. This is choreography.””

Does that mean tutus are the order of the day again?
