At 7.30am on 23 January XEN shares will be suspended, so your last chance to trade will be 22 January.

the Perkins family, with their long, equine faces that speak of profound rural ignorance, sexual incontinence and a certain genetic mystery, have been retainers of the Snootys since the eighteenth century, when Sir Sacheveral Snootibald Snooty was first raised to the peerage by Mad George. Though somewhat idiosyncratic in his opinions, the current Perkins is entirely trustworthy in his intuitive understanding of one's investment wishes.

Duties at Schloss Snooty prevent one's attendance. However, I am sending Perkins, my trusted factotum, to vote on my behalf.

Yes, we'll never know for sure, each trade could be for one of a hundred reasons. We see this happen with so many stocks before they make a major move. I have every confidence in XEN's plans and the news on OncoHist, Big Pharma, other trials and our transfer to the US which I trust will be confirmed next Tuesday. Six weeks and counting.

crusty buy at the end today - 390k @ 4.73.

Thanks for that. I received a corporate action notice from my broker iWeb yesterday detailing the sequence of events leading up to and after US listing. It appears that for me there will be none of the problems you mention, but I agree, it is important that everyone checks with their broker themselves. I have also just voted on the two motions, using my broker as my proxy, and I urge everyone else to do so. A simple phone call will probably be enough, or even just a live chat session online. As stated several times in the Scheme document, it is important that PIs make their wishes known by voting.

If your UK broker will not trade on OTCBB, you may have the opportunity to trade your shares for a period after US listing through a temporary arrangement put in place by XEN - see the Scheme documents for details - although that is not certain as yet. If you want to hold your shares after consolidation at the end of January (175 gets 56, no fractions) for the longer term, but wish to have the option of trading, I know of two choices of broker in the UK to whom you can transfer your shares, though I'm sure there must be others. Check out schwab.co.uk or tddirectinvesting.co.uk.

to liberation from Leeson's dreadful jokes.

Just this minute received mine on my broker's platform.

received the Scheme Documents yet?

clearly you are one of these trolleys that the young people on the Internet talk about. Far from beating Her Ladyship, it is poor Snooty who is the injured party on almost every occasion. Why, to cite a typical recent example: one was going about one's normal, early morning business, rummaging about in the wine cellar at about 5am the other day when, of a sudden, the thunderous voice of doom filled the dank corridors from the oak door above. "Snooteeh?, it rumbled, "return to bed this minute". Now long practice in the arcane art of marriage has taught one to bow when circumstances point to the inevitable, so one crept, suitably contrite, back to the matrimonial. It is not appropriate on a family website such as this to relate in detail what happened next. Suffice to say that several visits to the chiropractor in Greater Snooty, the proximate village, have as yet failed to untangle the contortions to which one's body was subject in one's wife's pre-dawn carnal frenzy, a woman who is, incidentally, no longer the svelte nine stone of our nuptials. "Officium pro Maiestas" has long been the Snooty family motto.

an approach from another angle might help you to satisfy yourself whether Xenetic is a company in which you want to invest or not. At present you seem to be transfixed with short term share price movement based on very few trades and on what might happen between now and US listing on 27th January. As a start I recommend reading the Chairman's Statement in the Interims of 30th September, this clearly sets out the rationale of the move and the prospects for Xenetic in the US. Follow this with the Scheme documents recently published on the XEN website, in particular the Parcae Capital document. These two sources should give you ample guidance as to whether XEN shares are for you or not. I would remind you that the EGM vote on the Scheme will take place on 17th December. Whether that will prove a turning point I couldn't say. For myself, I have a good deal of confidence in this company and its business model.

Molecules was an abstemious sort of guy, but the pressures had recently been getting to him, and on the BA flight over from London he'd partaken of more than a few Martinis. These Limeys couldn't make a dry one to save their lives, he reflected, his head swimming somewhat as the plane began its final approach into Logan. He patted his pockets. "Now where did I put that phial", he muttered. Later, after the perfunctory questioning by the TSA functionary (she'd noted the Boston accent immediately), Molecules relaxed beside the infinity pool at XEN HQ, his mind drifting back to that final parting in London. It had been a wrench, but what could he do, such a liason was doomed from the start, and the name of the game now was to put distance between himself and the Ivans. In a refrigerated safe in his office opening onto the pool area, kept carefully at -14.3 degrees Centigrade, sat the fruit of two years' co-operation with them - it must not be jeopardised now. The phone on the poolside table shrilled that familiar American tone. He picked up the receiver. A husky voice, known all to well, tugged his heartstrings. "Vy did you leaf zo zuddenly?". Molecules had no answer, he was disarmed, He slid the receiver to the other ear and reached for another.... TO BE CONTINUED

do not encourage this Leeson rogue, he is up to no good.

that 250k sell certainly put paid to the festive spirit. Perhaps it is comrade Knyazev passing his shares to those of us who do have the right to vote at the EGM.

Announce Commencement of Two New Clinical Trials: http://www.lse.co.uk/share-regulatory-news.asp?shareprice=XEN&ArticleCode=g18gzbdg&ArticleHeadline=Commencement_of_Two_New_Clinical_Trials In my not very humble opinion it is about time serious biotech investors sat up and took notice of XEN.

is somewhat irrelevant at this stage since Firestone will not be mining any stones for at least two, possibly three, years.
