RE: 1 year later and still on the shelf..13 Jan 2021 12:16
Clearly it's for the mob, bronxville, you weren't posting constant negatives until you sold. I can give you his email if you like then let's see if you continue to post here as a "way of speaking directly to Cathal"
I don't think you can state that as fact that he "begged them". they are not exactly going to make decisions based on morals or personal relationships/how much they like someone at the company. I guess he spelt out pretty convincingly his plan for 2020 and they bought into it. Question remains if they intend to hold on to their remaining amount or not.
He's known to be a good salesman and the belief for most here is very high so pretty much the ONLY thing that concerns me is why no other II is investing when they know at least as much as us, probably more. If i could see a TR1 for a new holder, I'd buy big.
What we need is an interview with CF to come out. It would be nice for him to address his statements about some institutions from the placing "only trimming" when we know for a fact they have nearly all sold everything whilst he has said a few times he looks at the share register often and knows exactly whos buying at selling!
It would be good to know his thoughts on why Invesco are selling (or have sold) and why it has been impossible to get any more long-term II onboard despite numerous outlets and people picking the share as one to watch for the year.
A lot of people have invested in him as much as the company itself, so we need to know that he is entirely trustworthy and he gets cut slack (and rightly so) on things like missed deadlines as his performance for much of last year was exceptional, but it starts to unravel if we feel he has lied about anything along the way or is at least withholding truths.
There is a lot of excitement for this month - wearables, new facility, Immutex, all hinted would land this month (or earlier in most cases) and I feel we really need to see at least one of them gaining serious traction especially as shares around us continue to rally.
Does anyone know when his next planned interview is? I'd like Doc Holiday to have another chat as he seems to askj slightly more probing questions than many.
Yes of course it can which carries a risk, which is what you want to avoid if you are an intra-day trader. The days when orph would drop every single morning and rise towards every close is very easy money for a trader as it is so predictable. If you start throwing intra-day RNS in the works then the risk outweighs the returns - if you are looking for 2% gains everyday on large sums of money you can wipe out (or miss out on) huge percentages with a single RNS.
Expected more of a fall today, even if only from panicked investors but its holding up well. How does level 2 look anyone - any MMs sitting on the ask?
Yes, that's an interesting point, RF. I thought they only had to report on BREACHING 5% (ie 4.xx% and below), but if hitting 5.xx% must be RNS'd, then perhaps you are right.
I dont think he's tried to woo them and to be fair if he has been trying, he's done a terrible job! So much for "not letting the share price get out of hand as otherwise IIs will leave".
He did a fundraise (which may very well have not been needed at all) and got onboard a load of II who subsequently sold out quickly for a risk free profit at our expense, failed to keep Invesco onboard at their full amount and failed to get any new long term II holders to take their place.
Does anyone else have the strong impression that ORPH is a bit leaky? The slow rises into every RNS followed by a small red day after each and every one of them. Seems far too contrived to just be coincidence
