Furthermore, the question marks are not about the potential revenue generation of the product...it is about whether the ordinary shareholders are going to see any return on their support and investment that got this product to the revenue stage.

And the answer is almost certainly no, as far as I can reasonably conclude.

The real question for many is whether this state of affairs has come about through extraordinary commercial uselessness by the BOD, or something far worse.

But good luck to those of you who feel differently.

Yeah. I liked that RNS too. In for a trade...or an investment, depending on the time it takes to hopefully hit my TP :) GLA.

There is certainly some skill to the games they play, it seems.

But no amount of skill is going to give them an easy exit here if the update is within guidance (preferably at the upper end), with, more importantly, positive forward guidance. And some decent CEO purchases as well, which I would expect to see, as soon as he is able. GLA.

Good news. Vital news - of course - but surely already baked into the price?

The actual update is what I am waiting for now. GLA.

In that scenario, you will get bulls suggesting that a deal is imminent, because why would they extend it once again otherwise etc?

For me personally, the first (and I think likely, the only) extension was not something that I considered a positive thing.

Then we got that after hours RNS about those lending discussions after 'media speculation', and as I said at the time, that was the straw that broke the camels back for me.

But if your decision is to sit tight, come what may, then I would not bother following the daily stuff here. Just set an alert for any RNS the company releases, and sooner or later, you will get the verdict.

It is not a routine thing, in answer to your question, but it is not without precedent either.

I personally do not like the idea of that loan on the likely lending terms - if no bid and if a loan is even agreed in the first place. A CVA even less of course, but if you take management at their word, this is not on the table.

For me, it was all about a JD bid. That was the punt. I decided I did not fancy the odds anymore, which was compounded by my opinions of the management, among other things.

None of which means I am going to be right! Good luck to you and your fellow longs in the meantime.

Low volume day here, Bucketman.

IMO, the closing price here signifies neither good nor bad news. I would not read anything into it. Now, if you see a plus or minus 20% move on thin air, then you can probably expect an RNS soon after, as was seen a couple of times in the recent past here.

From a technical point of view (and only IMO of course), the chart looks weak now.

It would be better if you could recapture the 50 DMA tomorrow, but, going into the weekend, deadline fast approaching etc, normal TA probably less valuable than in 'normal' circumstances.

Ultimately, if you remain confident in your long position, then nothing today happened to challenge this thesis IMO.

Same if you are/were bearish. GLA.

I have been expecting a commodities super cycle (and a new high in silver) for years now.

In 30 years time, I will likely hear the voice of my grandchild asking me if the silver super cycle is about to start. 'Any day now, son' :)

Ah, the old right wing/left wing paradigm!

I live in hope that one day enough people will see the wood from the trees...but not that much hope.

The duty of a government is to protect its citizens. Not much else really. And I reject the idea that we have a right wing government. Do not fall for the MSM narrative.

Spiralling state spending, ever increasing social policy interference from cradle to grave (for the lawful people, not the criminal classes, who seem virtually untouchable now), de facto open door immigration and much else besides.

I would happily vote for any party that did the opposite of the above, but doubt any such party would get the chance. Hey ho.

Anyway, still hopeful that we get the funding on good terms, for reasons cited previously, but bored of the wait, it must be said and not adding further until this gets sorted, as I first said months ago now! GLA.

You are welcome! These chat boards are at their best when you get a range of thoughts and opinions, I believe.

Markets likely to be up today, so even without news, you should enjoy a rise in the SP IMO. GLA.

I cannot see how JD can remain in any position other than as a shareholder, in the event of him not tendering a (credible) bid.

Especially after the extension request. My views remain unchanged since my last post, but I have continued to follow this one with a degree of interest.

Instinctively hoping my conclusion/decision was right, while trying to make sure I feel happy for longs, in the event I am wrong :)

Well, it is an election year, Pokerchips. Be fair now :)

I really hope it does. This name needs the relief, as do her holders! :)

Buy some Paramount. Then the just announced deal on the table is sure to close, or finally get a proper bidding war underway in that one, midas Mary :)

Not actual advice to buy of course etc. Annoying to have to say that when it is an obvious joke, but for now, we live in constrained times.

Not to mention of course...ITV have some studios if memory serves correct :)

Yep. Have a look at the short interest in that one too. No certainties in life of course, but IMO a prime candidate for a short squeeze. But it rarely pays to look too far ahead, so I am just going to sit back and watch what happens. Full disclosure: I have a few of those ones. GLA.

The worry is when she sells! A midas touch that I lack :)

Agree Mary, had a couple of nice little recent day trades here. Set the buy and sell orders pre-market and forget about it.

Leaving a small core holding alone though, which makes it easier to play the above game, IMO.

Not going in big here with an update due so soon though. Will take a view after then. GLA.

Jerome Powell is speaking later. See what (if any) impact that has on the markets.

Could impact ITV in either direction quite easily in trading tomorrow. Or not much, of course :) GLA.

Jed and Tom: IMO, might be worth waiting to see if it holds the 200 DMA in the coming week or so, before considering buying more, if so inclined.

Naturally now I have suggested that, expect to see 80p before the week is out :)

Thanks, Trickymatters, but have not dumped the rump holding yet.

New tax year, unless some magic happens before then, lol.

We have seen some token inside buying, but really nowhere near enough IMO to make participation an attractive proposition. GLA.

Is that you, Huw? Lol.
