I have to wonder why you bought XEN when, at the first positive sign in months, your first thought is to sell. I am holding for US listing, OncoHist trial results and a revaluation. Please take the loss and sell your shares to me at 6.75p.

99.9%

there was one thinking that one could get through the whole weekend without another of Leeson's discombobulating jokes. Alas, no such luck.

we are heading: Overview "Following the normally sluggish August, biotech financing raced back into top gear in September as performance was up across all financing types, with $11.5B raised in the third quarter (57% debt, 14% follow-on, 12% IPO, 11% venture, 6% PIPEs and other equity. August also featured the return of the hot biotech IPO market. Six more U.S. IPOs hit the market in September, including Stern IR clients Acceleron Pharma and BIND Therapeutics, as both biotech-specific and generalist investors continued to embrace these hot deals. We’ll be staying tuned this month to see if the government shutdown and debt ceiling fight put a damper on what is a very inviting window for other companies currently in the IPO queue. M&A buzz following Amgen’s acquisition of Onyx also helped drive positive sentiment in the sector last month, and Cubist raised a whopping $800M in a convert deal to help fund their recent acquisitions of Trius and Optimer. Private rounds also saw an uptick with some additional crossover activity as public investors continue to see value in earlier-stage deals. The total money raised in 2013 kept surging ahead of last year’s numbers, with $18.3B raised at the end of September compared to $14.3B at the same point in 2012." http://sternir.com

You have to have had some success in order to recover.

We will shortly be migrating lock, stock and both barrels to sunnier shores where, it is said, baby pharmas are appreciated and nurtured at the teat of American capitalism. The pieces are nearly in place it seems, so expect a tsunami of excellent news in the coming months. The Puce Predictor is flashing cerise, it is at times like these that one should clench.

All systems go for the US: "Xenetic Biosciences, a biopharmaceutical company specializing in the development of differentiated biologics, vaccines and novel cancer drugs, also joins Stern IR from the UK. The Company has three patented technologies under development, including OncoHist™, which has been granted orphan drug status for acute myeloid leukemia (AML) by both the FDA and EMA and additional orphan drug status for acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) in Europe." http://sternir.com/?newsletter=september-2013-healthcare-wrap-up

for "scare" read "scarce", though scare might be a better word.

today in the form of shares - presumably because cash is scare - for present and former directors for a job, ahem, ahem - well done! Beggars belief.

what to make of it all? Tectonic plates beginning to shift?

of the inaugural Formula Snooty season is about to start. The cars are on the starting grid and the XEN engine, tweaked to peak performance with EPO and added OncoHist, is looking a world-beater. Stay tuned.

The former - you probably won't have to do anything. In any case if you are worried, it will all be explained in notices to shareholders and your broker will notify you of what is called the "corporate action" and what, if anything, you need to do.

Someone just gave away £13k worth, just when things are getting interesting.

From the Rule 2.4 Announcement, 16th July last: "The Xenetic Board has considered a number of options to achieve its goal (US listing), including seeking a quotation of Xenetic's shares directly on a US stock market and seeking a merger with an existing US quoted biotechnology company with complementary activities. Following careful consideration of the issues the Xenetic Board determined that the best way is to be acquired by a SEC reporting, unlisted company, which can achieve a quotation on a major US stock market within a reasonable period, and to effect such an acquisition by a Scheme. Xenetic's plan is for it to be acquired on a share-for-share basis by a US Counterparty, where the level of effective dilution to Xenetic's shareholders is modest and agreed in advance. This means that, other than for an acceptable level of dilution (which is deemed to be the "cost" of achieving Xenetic's aims) and the fees and costs of the Possible Offer, the entity formed by the completion of the Possible Offer will be as near as possible the same entity as Xenetic, with the same assets and liabilities, save that it would have a new US holding company." That's what we know so far, but further news is expected and no doubt we will get documentation laying out the whole deal. I've checked with IG - spread bets are transferable, you'd have to make certain with your broker about ISAs.

"The Pilot Plant identified the presence of several +100 carat stones, which unfortunately were all broken during the recovery process". One would have expected that, after several years and God knows how much money spent on modifications to the Pilot plant, they would have at least managed not to break ONE large stone. Apparently not.

Fear not, the gouty toe is throbbing like BILLY-O, an infallible sign that IMPORTANT NEWS is on the way. One has spies stationed on HAYMARKET and in MR MAGUIRE'S SHRUBBERY, to cover all contingencies. We are entering the END OF DAYS, when the RIGHTEOUS, led by Snooty, will make bundles, but the SAD UNWASHED, without a XEN to their name, will GNASH THEIR TEETH and RENT THEIR HAIR. Last orders draws close, then ye Xenites shall COME IN OUT OF THE WILDERNESS, be judged and FOUND NOT WANTING. Therefore, dear PEOPLE OF THE XEN, be of good cheer, for where Snooty leads, others seldom follow.

it was safe to visit this thread and glean some serious analysis and tips from Snooty, up pops the Singapore Swindler with another one of his dire "chuckles".

is nothing if not persistent. No sooner has one swatted away one ghastly golfing joke than another comes buzzing from his pen.

puts one in mind of Great Uncle Snootee-Putter, winner of the Belgian Open during the Occupation in 1940 and 41 . Of course his chief claim on posterity is the famous Snootee tee-off stance, with the posterior thrust well out at ninety degrees away from the angle of strike and the ankles turned inward. The prime exponent of this stance was Bob Hope, an excellent comedian.
