Member Info for LordSnooty

(if that is indeed you name): if you are addressing me rather than Butch, Her Ladyship's ****-ze, I have scant advice to dispense. On pain of excommunication for a further ten years, I am directed by the Powers that Be to not touch my newly US domiciled shares for the foreseeable future. This is of course a blessing in disguise, since summer approaches and the hidden delights of the potting shed will undoubtedly furnish sustenance enough to weather any summer storms. After which time, with the guidance of the safe pair of hands that belong to Mr M, I trust we will be listed on a major market in America, and thus tradeable through any Tom, Dick or Harry broker in the UK.

Listing on NASDAQ will also make XBIO tradeable through most UK brokers at a far better fee than some of the present rip-off rates.

On the whole these UK brokers haven't a clue how to deal with XBIO. Time and again I have had conflicting information - from Barclays, from Schwab, from IG. In part it's due to the novelty of the corporate action that XEN undertook, but I wish they'd make up their minds a) whether or not they will be able to trade XBIO, and b) when, if ever, they will be able to do so.

My most illustrious ancestor, Admiral of the Fleet Sir Snootivel Snooty, always asserted that, when faced with a problem one should always look at it from the other end of the telescope to gain perspective; thus, one may perhaps pity those poor unfortunates straining at the leash to buy a few hundred thousand of our priceless shares, but unable to do so. In due course, news will no doubt catapult us into the price range where a few more holders are tempted to put short term lucre ahead of long term wealth, and sell, the misguided fools. Sir Snootivel went down with his ship, HMS Indestructible, in 1804, having mistaken a sandbank off Dungeness for a French invasion force. His body washed ashore some days later at Leysdown-on-Sea, hands still clutching his telescope - the wrong way round.

There's been idle talk of a biotech bubble in the US for some months now. I couldn't say whether or not it will prove to be one, but so far the index is up near its highs. As regards XBIO, we have trial results and NASDAQ listing to look forward to, the latter I anticipate sooner rather than later since I think the Directors will want to ease the chronic illiquidity currently seen in the stock, prior to the signposted placing in the 3rd/4th quarter.

Who did you go with eventually, if not Barclays?

haha

with Leeson's jokes to contend with daily, life can barely be said to "go on".

is speechless. Speechless.

that is very good news. I am prepared to offer you a modest premium on the AIM de-listing price. Shall we say 8p?.

stems are not our bag, old boy - on the whole we are into low-risk delivery systems for high-reward orphan drugs.

some have been invited. It appears that only lesser holders of a few meagre shares will be gratefully quaffing Chateau Maguire 2015, while major holders such as myself must be content with capital appreciation.

stem cells are the way forward. Just last month I grew a new big toe from cells taken from my eldest daughter's bone marrow. Unfortunately, though mercifully gout-free, it has now ballooned to the size of a giant vol-au-vent, and has approximately the same consistency.

I suspect the sanctions that the West has in mind, if indeed they are applied, will refer more to major export and import industries. In my opinion the ownership structure of XBIO and the sharing of trial data will be totally unaffected. However, I am a simple old Peer and have only been to Mother Russia once, in support of General Deniken.

Yes, when we have our "Shire Moment" and the SP is at $165, I shall be ruing the loss of those shares.

They did it like this: 500k ÷ 175 = 2857.142857 recurring. Then discard the fraction, leaving 2857 x 56 = 159,992. I lost 48 shares, if that's any consolation.

It has become something of a tradition for Snooty to post his profound and insightful comments here of a Sunday, as a guide to those who do not share one's rare ability to discern the wheat from the chaff. Today, however, one wishes to impress upon those with ears to listen the importance of continuing to clutch the newly-minted XBIO certificates to our bosoms; as can be seen from the graph unfolding since we landed upon American shores, the indications are that, in both the medium and long term, Snooty's rightful and preordained family wealth will be restored in due course by this Instrument of Fate known in ticker form as XBIO. Remember the Boston Tea Party, I say, and do not push your certificates into the harbour!

Excellent find, thank you. We are currently at MCap (146m x $1.25) = $180m, so plenty of scope for improvement, and it's suggested in the article that XBIO could rise 5-7 times from current levels over the next 3-5 years.
