Scancell founder says the company is ready to commercialise novel medicines to counteract cancer. Watch the video here.
I got out on the last rally in the hope of buying back lower, I think this will certainly go to test the recent low of around 500p and maybe make a new low. The market seems to be punishing stocks going through tough times, thing is the 2008 crash brought Rolls Royce down to around 250p so who knows where the bottom will be here, I sure as hell do not know!
I have sold out of a few of my positions the past two days, I am sitting in cash with a few stock holdings. I sold my rolls royce in the hope of buying back lower next year. Its not that I dont believe in the company it is that I see global growth being sluggish which will eventually lead to more dividend cuts and profit warnings amoungst many stocks, so I think 2016 could be good for bargain hunters but that is what makes the market, there is always a bull and always a bear. Eventually this company will turn around but my faith has been lost in the wider global economy, not rolls royce
I will be surprised if this is no cut, how can management justify getting rid of employees and not reducing the pot that dishes out cash to shareholders. This money could be used to save jobs in the company so I am expecting a cut, the question is how much
fair comment sir, lets hope for the long termers we see some positive news about the dividend Best wishes
Guys please do not listen to brokers, they all have their own agendas. They are probably short this stock and want you to sell it to make them money and then continue selling as they build their positions. I have a position here and have not sold a single share, I will not buy for a while either as I do not want to become to exposed. Building other positions in other stocks to help balance my portfolio. (Ignoring brokers in the process)
Hi guys, I hold this stock and pretty much was hoping for a nice steady dividend payer for the next few years but today has turned that on its head, after the crash in price today I thought about buying more but the issue for me is that the low of the 2008 crash this stock was £2.50 per share. Ive seen other stocks like Tesco smash their 2008 lows when profit warnings and dividends were cut. I really hope they don't completely cut the dividend or we could be heading way lower. This will have been dumped by a lot of hedge/pension funds today hence the huge price movement because of that dividend statement. This is three times now I have bought a ftse 100 stock (that paid a good divi and had it cut after I bought) which caused me to end up sitting on a whacking paper loss and no dividend yield to show for it. Who knows where this is heading but instead of buying more I may just diversify away from it and hope the sp eventually recovers. Years ago I would have jumped in today by buying more and averaging down but I have learned the hard way to be patient and diversify the portfolio and ignore price movements like this as it can leave you over exposed.

The super markets seem to be doing a little better recently, I have shares in tesco but wouldnt mind buying any weakness in sainsburys if given the chance, what would be a good entry here?
I never sold a single share today, I hope the selling continues so that I can buy more shares, then when the share price rallies Ill sell them back to you
As with most market pullbacks, the smaller companies such as shanks get hit quite hard. Maybe I will wait for the 80p's to see if I can buy then...
If the price of sugar was to rise would this be good or bad for this company? Im not sure if they buy their sugar or produce it their-self
I posted here when the SP was £9.52 saying I had noticed directors selling, and now we are falling in the £7.90's, funny that. I agree market may be reading into the profit warning a little more than justified but I think the share price had gotten ahead of itself and was trading near the highs - so this is nothing more than a correction, I will add if it drops a little more. I don't want to pay too much for these shares as I think advertising is becoming quite competitive and may curtail future growth.
So you predicted a 5p drop.... Anyway, I too see this needing to test 350p before it gains legs again, Im not too sure what catalyst there is for short term price movement being anything but drifting downwards.
Price has only just broken out of a large head and shoulders, projections of which are around 450p
Do you all agree that the dividend on this company is a bit poor?
Time to start buying shanks?
Good overview of the company: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a03OhDbF3bM
I noticed some director sales: http://www.investegate.co.uk/daily-mail---38--general--dmgt-/prn/director-pdmr-shareholding/20150623173839PFD6A/ Not a major amount but still enough to take notice of, I once was buying shares as directors was selling the odd million and around a year later the share price sank like a brick. Hence why I take note of what insiders are doing now
Well this hasnt got many buyers, i think solar is the future but does that mean you should buy a small solar producer, not too sure on that...
I was a shareholder of Shanks some time ago, sold all of my stock due to studying and working part time. Im now ready to start building a portfolio again. Im a long term investor so I am finding it very hard to find stocks that are not over-valued which is difficult in current market conditions. Im thinking of buying shanks again, its higher than I originally held at which is a shame. Im wondering where the value is left when the only real sectors that maybe undervalued at this time is the energy sectors but I think this could fall much more before it justifies an investment. Also I insist on dividend paying stocks as I am old school. Any ideas Ladies and Gents?
