puce alert, news imminent.

whopper from the Criminal from Changi. Fellow Xenopeople, have nothing to do with this Leeson cove, he will lead you from the True Path pointed out by Snooty. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lighthouse_and_naval_vessel_urban_legend

and Snooty was wandering "....lonely as a cloud. That floats on high o'er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host of golden daffodils...." Spring flowers are in full bloom at Snooty Hectares. The serfs are busy from before dawn until well after dusk, selecting only the most beautiful specimens for display in one's massive Rococco drawing room. Such is their devotion to the Snooty lineage that often, after presenting a bouquet of particularly lovely examples to Her Ladyship, the poor creatures will back away from the Presence whilst simultaneously raising the middle finger to one's wife - a noted sign of respect in the locality. The esteem is a thing to behold.

what we need most urgently is some trial results that prove the technology is still working. It's been two and a half years since PSA-EPO Ph IIa SC in India. I expect news imminently - the pump is primed, just need a little drop of oil.

boosted as American billionaire takes stake in Russian partner By Ian Lyall Xenetic Biosciences (LON:XEN) will see US$60mln invested in two drug candidates it discovered under terms of an exciting tie-up between the AIM-listed group’s Russian partner and billionaire Dr Phil Frost. The American entrepreneur, who made his US$2.6bn fortune selling his firm Ivax to generic drug maker Teva in 2005, is acquiring a 10% stake in Pharmsynthez. As part of that deal he has agreed to plough the cash into two Pharmsynthez candidates licensed from Xenetic under its co-development agreement completed in late 2009. Scott Maguire, chief executive of Xenetic, said: "Phil Frost is one of the world's leading bio-entrepreneurs has a long history of creating significant shareholder value. “I have no doubt that Dr Frost and his team can assist Pharmsynthez in navigating the complex path to a drug's market launch. “His company's investment in one of our most important partners can only serve to benefit Xenetic shareholders."

"....I still don’t see resources stocks flying because there are so many other issues (excessive boardroom pay, the inability to raise finance, lack of delivery generally, an across the board disenchantment with the AIM cesspit)....

absence makes the heart grow fonder. This would certainly be true in the case of Leeson.

is the filter button on this contraption?

"The small Pi share holders have mostly fled whilst the institutions and large investors have picked your pockets". Well, yes, and for very good reason as I have explained before - because they can recognise a slow motion train crash when they see one. However, the foolhardy will no doubt go their own way.

that Snooty is not infallible, despite appearances to the contrary. However, one has been tinkering all week with the Puce Predictor, with extraordinary results, such that one is now in a position to confidently predict some significant news next week. So gird your loins, Xenopeople, and remember, "cometh the hour, cometh the man"!

the "FDI website and RNS's" (sic) are good places to find information on the Company's operations then I'm afraid you deserve the share price as it is today - those are the very last places to look for a true picture how the company has managed, throughout its history, to burn other people's cash (on fat salaries for directors, inter alia), while consistently under-delivering, over-promising and obfuscating. Ask anyone who believed in their spiel when the sp was £2.

from another board, courtesy of "Andy", a long-tome investor: Avontuur Mine - Screwed up, according to the rumours! Oena mine - Closure never RNS'd to my knowledge, just an entry in the results. Groen River - FDI NEVER FOUND ONE DIAMOND! Groen River 2 - £10 million raised - Project never started, where was the money used? Trans Hex Marine diamonds What happened to that one? USA exploration - Likewise! Bonte Koe - Poor grades, a bit of toll milling for De Beers, then abandoned, equipment moved to BK11. Which brings us to now: BK11 - On "care and maintenance" :-) Debswana tailings project - "suspended" LOL! Tsabong kimberlites - Too expensive for FDI to explore, still no jv partner after several years. Lesotho - Where will the funding come from? Where will the electricity come from? Where will any hope come from???

it was not for nothing that back in the 60s Snooty was known as the "Count of Kool". On any Sunday during that heady summer of '69, near the Chelsea Drug Store on King's Road, Snooty could be seen grooving "hipster style" in his Mr Fish finery, together with the Fab Four, turning on, tuning in and dropping out, and sporting some gear dolly bird dressed in Biba on his arm. This was, of course, well before one encountered the Distaff, at which point youth ended, abruptly. Naturally, this was also well before Mrs Leeson had a twinkle in her eye, denoting the imminent arrival of "Rosemary's Baby", who would eventually arrive to plague these pages!

being International Labour Day, and as a gesture of solidarity with workers worldwide, one has decided to give the serfs at Snooty Global Sweatshops Inc an extra two minutes' tea break. However, that is not the full extent of Snooty magnanimity: in addition, each and every one of them will receive an extra Garibaldi, in recognition of the great unifier of Italy and of their ongoing contribution to Snooty coffers. One cannot say fairer than that.

Leading Biotech entrepreneur acquires interest in Pharmsynthez http://www.investegate.co.uk/xenetic-biosciences--xen-/rns/entrepreneur-acquires-10--of-pharmsynthez/201304300700465321D/

into Her Ladyship's dregs yesterday morning, as one is wont to do in search of solace, one was astonished to discern, clearly spelled out by the Darjeeling leaves, the words "news soon". Now, one is well-known as a Sceptic of Sophistic persuasions, in the Greek tradition. In addition, when not urging the serfs on to greater effort, one has been much exercised with the Puce Predictor problem in recent months. However, it is fair to say that this is an omen of Delphic proportions, and that therefore one expects some reality-bending news in the near future. You heard it first from Snooty.

has to be asked, after almost two days without a single trade: "Is one suspended?".

indeed they did, but in that case you would expect February's sight results to have been issued by now.

As stated in the Interims, and which can also be inferred from the successive poor-sized and mixed bag offerings at auction, there are continuing issues on the downstream side of Plant 1. In the absence of news to the contrary, it looks as if these problems continue to plague the plant two years after first being identified. Clearly there is a cost both in monetary and in production terms. It might be speculated that the lack of carats, in stark contrast to the rosy projections put out by the Company, was a factor in the recent police investigation, though personally I would put it down more to the problems mentioned above. I scarcely need add that it is now almost two-and-a-half months since a mere 30k of carats were offered in February's sight, yet there has been no announcement of results. In addition, no prior notice of quantity or quality was given for the sight just finished in April. One may draw one's own conclusions.

call me an old aristocrat, but I can't find anything in that link remotely connected to our beloved XEN. Unless we are moving to the Yemen???
