How weird! The Xenetic Bio board has reappeared today.

Is this posted on the right board? Doesn't apply here since all bargains are matched. Quite a different problem!

How ironic! I have received a letter from Brewin Dolphin saying they are selling Stocktrade to Alliance Trust. I only opened a Stocktrade account since Alliance would not hold my Xenetic shares, and had to get a certificate to stop them selling XEN. I do hope the NASDAQ business will be sorted out before Alliance refuse to play ball again. (No problem with NASDAQ listed shares though.)

Were you at Lords yesterday? You had a mention on the sky commentary when the stewards was collecting up your (expensive) champagne corks from the pitch.

Over the last 2 or 3 years the 3 shares have performed in a broadly similar manner. The rights issue knocked the SP of PDG back considerably - but after recovering from that, PDG has done as well as the others. Being the largest UK dealer, I believe it is most unlikely that it would be a takeover target. 40p is a fair price at present, and offers similar value to INCH and LOOK, I believe. Not an absolute bargain. Thise days are well gone.

I think Clarkson would have fronted the BBC election special admirably. Mind you, it was a long time since the Pendragons ruled the west. Maybe a round table could be introduced for cabinet meetings.

Makes nice reading - all on track for a good year, and with no immediate political upheavals SP should soon return to 40p. Hold!

I see what you mean about NASDAQ page coming and going. On Otcmarkets.com, I can always see the level 2 quotes, but sometimes the details go missing (eg volume, range etc.). Strange.

Wow! Level 2 information at last. I requested this over a year ago to otcmarkets and we have it. Brilliant. No wonder the trading has started a bit now. I anticipate more volume, as we can all now see what is happening. doze - I suspect it will have no effect on our account.

Yes, Summit have shown the way it can be done with a lot less fuss than XBIO. They maybe have the best of both worlds - access to US money, plus retaining a listing on AIM. We'll see how long their SP takes to double!

I've had to buy one anyway, and the price has not even reached 40p. And incidentally, we have had a 19% rise so far this year, and it has now consolidated since the results were out, so its not surprising we're not yet heading for 45p.

Computer at home playing up. RNS a good read, and encouraging for the future. Doubled dividend should also encourage a bit of buying in due course. 40p should be the new base line for the year, I hope.

They have done their homework, and are intending to raise $40m of stock (ADS) in an IPO. This is in addtion to the current AIM listing. XBIO missed their chance to go down this route, or maybe they thought it was too costly, and they could achieve a cheap listing through the bacok door.

Good to have this unexpected update before final results next month, especially on top of general motor news item/comment yesterday. Initial market reaction seems positive.

Without a doubt! The quality of the humor and color of the language gives him away.

So its NASCAR now we're heading for, is it? Perhaps a NASCAR listing will be easier to achieve.

A happy new new to the faithful here. Make sure you buy your new car from Stratstone, please! Pity the SP hasn't really reflected the progress of the company in the past year.

Good to hear from your ever cheerful self. I'll let you know plan 4b(ii) next year if you have a new year's dip in the North Sea tomorrow. It's not much colder than Florida.

What a dreadful year - sharewise. Believe it or not XBIO has been my best performing share of 2014 - an increase of 7.25% on the pre US AIM exit price equivalent to $0.2331 The only other of my shares in profit in the year are investment trusts, and a corporate bond fund. Fancy the old maligned giant of Alliance trust being second best at almost 6% gain including reinvested dividends. Dividends???: What are they, you may ask. Well XBIO will eventually have dividends - provided we don't all wither away first. Happy new year to all the faithful holders - and let's look forward to NASDAQ and added and realisable value next year.

Obviously trying very hard to convince the US pundits of the value of XBIO. Who'll bite, and at what price?
