sincerely hopes so.

of you commoners are clearly acquiring the excellent habit of late night imbibulation, a boon to those of us easily bored by ownership of stock that does not trade more than once a decade.

Depreciation? Or depredation? One is as concerned about our elevation to NASDAQ as you commoners; one had in mind a mausoleum in Carrara marble for Her Ladyship and oneself for when the time came, but a pauper's grave and a concrete headstone is looking more likely these days.

I sincerely urge you not to encourage him.

sacrilege from the Swizzler from Singapore!

P1 in the US; we have nothing formally in trials as yet in the US, though we do have Onco applying in H1 next year, and of course we have EPO in P2 in Oz, and likely to be licensed out next year. So not a direct equivalence, but certainly we are worth more than the ridiculous valuation attributed to us by one trade a day on OTC

$0.7298, up 43.04% (until the next cycle)

As is well-known in these pages, one's wife has long complained of the pawning aspect of investment. One posted a month or two back about how Her Ladyship was encouraging one to make the lengthy journey to Tiffany in New York, there to retrieve her tiara, entrusted at that august establishment against some ready Snooty cash. Why, just the other day, seeing that the gloom of impoverishment had lifted somewhat from the Snooty visage, she cried, "Snooty, it is time you donned your jodhpurs". How timely it is therefore that an article published in the Telegraph today contains some thoughts on tiaras, written years ago by the recently deceased Dowager Duchess of Devonshire, in particular about the unsupportable weight of such ladies evening wear. One will choose an opportune moment to apprise one's chatelaine of the article, as definitive proof that her tiara should remain firmly in the vaults of New York for the time being. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/prince-charles/11120104/Prince-Charles-mourns-Debo-last-of-the-Mitford-sisters.html

No, but my take was that we will get a placing/rights issue plus perhaps a debt instrument in Q4 intended to do two things - provide funds for pursuing encouraging Onco development mentioned in last Interims - add to the free float so that we get some volume and liquidity in order to qualify for NASDAQ. I therefore don't see us uplisting until at least Q1, possibly Q2 2015. The brighter aspect is possibly that, once new shares enter the free float, with further good trial results we may see a stronger SP. It seems pretty clear too that there will be an IPO as we enter NASDAQ.

I agree, once we are on NASDAQ our stock becomes trade-able at normal rates for US stocks with most of the usual online brokers - at least it does with iWeb, my broker.

Perhaps you are slightly missing the point: apart from raising funds in a timely manner, XBIO desperately need liquidity, in other words some consistent, day-to-day trading volume over a three-month period while still on OTC. This is a requirement in order for the shares to uplist to NASDAQ and it's the only hold up to our elevation to that market. If you listen to yesterday's CC, you will hear that clearly stated. I think the way the Board propose to achieve that liquidity, as well as to provide working capital in the short term, is to issue shares, either through placing or rights issue, that will become part of the free float and not simply be more shares that are bought and locked away. Any placing to the Russians would not, in my opinion, achieve that. On the contrary, I think the target for such a placing to achieve said liquidity has to be US investors who are willing and able to trade XBIO shares on OTC. At the moment, almost all the free float is locked away, either voluntarily or because of regulatory paperwork, with UK investors. Once any new shares enter the market, and with favourable clinical data concurrent, we should see a vast improvement not only in volume but in share price, from present, dismal levels. As you know, raising funds has historically not been a problem for Xenetic; indeed they have often found investors willing to pay a premium to the depressed share price.

yes indeed, neither the ticker nor the market correct. Sometimes one tears one's hair....

somebody say something? I was asleep.

I favour a traditional parade of the American Irish, our CEO clearly being of that ilk. Once arriving at the offices of Our Company (note the capitals), an almighty cacophony from the pipe band lasting several hours should send a message of urgency to our worthy Board. If not, then we can administer the coup-de-grace - a song in person from Sinead O'Connor. That will have them in submission within minutes.

Serfs at Hacienda Snooty, deep within the Paraguayan Chaco, are turning increasingly to Mennonism, as funds to cover their hitherto lavish benefits, for example corn husks with gruel twice a day, have dried up. Indeed, Her Ladyship, who retired here with her jewellery after the AIM debacle, is increasingly hectoring Snooty to pay a visit with her fabled tiara to Tiffany in New York, there to raise funds otherwise encumbered in the labs of Lexington, near Boston, Mass. However, one is loath to essay the journey, perilous in any case at one's advanced age and with gout to boot. Such a valuation would be fraught with hazard, since one is aware that the priceless diamonds previously encrusting my wife's spectacular head wear were covertly replaced several years ago by rhinestones. It happened during a previous period of Snooty family penuriousness engendered by dipsomania. though on whose part one hesitates to mention on a public forum.....

disgraceful crudity from the Singapore Swindler.

I'd say that's about right, but there's always the possibility of surprises - such as a further link up with Baxter or another major pharma - not that one is privy to any special info, but hints have been dropped along those lines for a long time.
