Not sure how you're seeing "all buys", there were loads of sells, in particular a large delayed sell of 463k just before the close at below the bid. Not looking good here, I've long said this is heading for sub 7p and I reckon it'll happen this week.

The Lord

Increased 7 fold? 7 x nak all = nak all. Just saying.

The Lord

I remember the fund raise a few years back when the directors proudly stated they were participating with chunky purchases. On reviewing the year end accounts released a few months later, they had paid themselves bonuses which almost exactly equalled the share purchase. Maybe one day you guys will twig this is a classic AIM gravy train which pays the directors very handsomely whilst returning zilch to shareholders. Maybe one day ............

The Lord

Well, you FUM-sters might not be able to afford any beer after Tuesday! But on a more serious note, guys, it's pretty bad that they've given less than a week's notice regarding the release of the results as it's likely some analysts and shareholders may struggle to attend the presentation where they could ask potentially awkward questions. Just saying.

The Lord

It makes me laugh that some posters on here hate how the company is run and don't trust the management, but continue to hold or even buy more shares. It's like buying a pint of beer at your local, complaining that it tastes awful, but then continuing to buy more pints whilst moaning about the taste. Very funny.

The Lord

To say people only post negative reviews because they like to complain and don't bother with positive ones is complete nonsense. There are many many many products with excellent reviews which blows that argument well and truly out of the water. Update on feedback on Boots .......... (last 3 reviews):

"Do not use this product, it does absolutely nothing, a definite waste of money"

"Seen a couple of bad reviews, Said i would try it anyway. Absolutely uselss i think it nearly had a negative effect. If you are viewing this please dont waste your money like i done. I tried two from the pack absolute waste of time. I would give zero stars if possible. Shocking that this is even being sold."

"Bought this to try, and it was a waste of money as it didn’t work."

The Lord

The reviews look genuine imo as they are tagged "verified purchase" and are backed up by falling sales (7k down to 300 sales per month on Amazon UK and down to single figure daily purchases on Boots website) . So your claim that the reviews are fake is in itself fake, but I understand your desperation to try and pump this dog up if you're up to your neck with heavy losses. We'll all have a better idea on how things are going when the results are released, with all eyes being on the outlook and going concern note.

The Lord

Just checked Boots website and it stated just 6 items purchased in the last 24 hours. Yes ...... SIX !!!! The results will make very interesting reading, lol.

The Lord

Why would Haleon want to take over a very overpriced and failing FUM? The reviews on Amazon USA and Boots are appalling, repeat sales are falling (for example, the sales for the past month on Amazon UK were 300 compared to monthly sales of 7k a few months ago ............ and that is not an opinion, it's a fact) so a takeover is just wishful thinking. I've heard it all before when rampers were touting SSE and Reckitts as possible bidders a few years ago. This lot are supposed to be releasing their results this month but they haven't even set a date and therefore a time for analysts and shareholders to put in their diary . Probably they're waiting until the last minute hoping nobody is able to attend!

The Lord

There seems to be a strange misconception here that directors can "control" the share price. If that was so, listed companies would have sky high market caps. And Harmesh is a non executive director so won't be involved in the day to day management anyway. As such, his appointment in my opinion is not necessarily good news, it looks more like a concerned major shareholder wanting to keep a closer eye on what might be going on (but unable to do much about it). All in my humble opinion of course.

The Lord

"Harmesh Suniara was a Director at Actual Experience Plc, which entered administration on 14 November 2023."

Maybe Lombard want one of their own guys on the FUM BOD who has experience of companies going into administration so he can assist as clean an exit as possible for Lombard if FUM do wind up following the disappointing uptake of Eroxon?

The Lord

Lol, the Italian, whatever you say. Good luck :)

On the contrary, the Italian, having just the one major shareholder makes a delisting more likely as they could hoover up all the exodus of shares thereby taking total control (a subsidiary with over 50%) .... then they could charge an intercompany management fee , even putting their own directors on the subsidiarys BOD, so the minority PIs who remain will most likely be stuck with non dividend paying shares and unable to sell them. You can safely assume that the 100 delisted AIM companies I mentioned had their fair share of significant corporate shareholders ........ no AIM company is safe from a delisting. AIM is often referred to as the wild west of the market for a reason, as is the phrase "AIM gravy train"!

Nice that we can have a grown up exchange of views without any name calling. Interesting point you bring up, Monty, about a possible de-listing. There have been nearly 100 de-listings in the past year from AIM resulting in the lowest number of AIM companies for over 20 years. It costs hundreds of thousands in regulation fees and time to be listed, so understandable why some companies may "opt out" if they can spend that money on other things (eg directors salaries) when there is no longer a need to raise (or unable to raise) money from investors. So, as I've previously said, the year end accounts will make interesting reading. Are Coopers playing ball and doing the necessary advertising and launching in further regions, or will they consider it's a case of throwing good money after bad if repeat sales have disappointed in current launches? Ditto Haleon. There was much hype about initial TV advertising .... indeed there were many posters on here who seemed very excited by it all. But all that advertising now seems to have .............. disappeared. Alarm bells? Is the declining SP telling you something? All food for thought! Have a nice weekend.

The Lord

Even the most blinkered FUM-ster must be getting slightly worried about how this is going. Eroxon no longer appears to be the number 1 best seller on Amazon USA, you can't even find it on Amazon UK, and just checking the Boots website only 5 have been purchased within the past 24 hours. Reminds me of FUM's earlier products - Reckett and then Church & Dwight ditched CSD500, GSK ditched TPR and now no idea how Thornton & Ross are progressing it (if at all), Ansell ditched PET after launching on Amazon. Will Eroxon also end up in the waste bin? Thoughts welcome.

The Lord

The SP had dropped sub 10p, exactly as I predicted. Reviews on Amazon continue to be really bad so I'm guessing repeat sales are minimal. The results in April will make interesting reading, with all eyes on the going concern note. In the meantime I think you ain't seen nothing yet re the SP. The chart and level 2 seem to be getting worse, therefore I now estimate a further drop to 7p before the end of March.

The Lord

IMO the SP is still way too high! FUM is valued at £34 million when in reality it should be much lower, selling a failing placebo. I warned you all when this was over 30p and again at 16p that it had much further to crash and the chart and Level 2 continue to look horrendous with sub 10p fast approaching. If you would have listened to me rather than abusing me and treating me as your enemy when I'm only trying to help, then you would have saved lots of money.

The Lord

I mentioned a few weeks ago that this was heading sub 10p and I stick with that prediction. In fact it is very likely to fall even further ...... the chart and Level 2 look dreadful. The best of luck to all FUM shareholders (you'll need it!).

The Lord

I said 2 weeks ago this would be below 10p by today. I may be out with the timing, but the chart and Level 2 look dreadful so sub 10p is still very much on the cards. As for an answer to the thread header, it's because the product is junk, just a placebo which is getting minimal repeat sales. They say love is blind, and those on here who are in love with FUM certainly are blind!

Oh dear, a tough week in store for Futura Medical shareholders. DYOR (Do your own research)
