No Phil it's annoying, but thanks for trying to convince me otherwise!
I know it's a start up, but we are not talking profit we are talking revenue, that's sales isn't it.
10 years in business, is it still a startup and then to sell £42,000, and a several millions taken as investments.

The revenue at £42000 is just crazy! This company has had millions in financing and only managed revenue of a few hundred thousand in best part of 10 years. I have a £1000 tied up in tis and wish I didn't. I hang on in hope you all are right in your optimism, but I am not confident. In last 2 years £77,000 total revenues is that for real?
My wife's revenue is more, I have invested heavily in her shopping though!

Wow can't spell two, what is happening to me!

You know Takayama I don't know the answer to this. I got my £1000 worth of AGM largely becuase of Primary Bid. I had opened an account with them as I had missed the chance to take up some of a placement one of my fav holdings Ricardo did with them. I then thought I'll pick something out and try the system. That was AGM, maybe because it was Graphene and that rung a bell from the past, vaguely wonder material invented by some guys at Manchester uni (I haven't even checked that as a fact so it might be rubbish). Anyway I order my £1k dip in and got a couple of hundred quids worth. So I bought some more when it dipped a week or two back. I still hadn't done any research, I often don't but usually know something more that just a "magic material". Anyway my gut is telling me I have made a mistake here, I will hang in and see at least for a while and be happy to take a break even if I have to. I might average down but will need something more than I've seen so far to make me do that (but as I said I haven't been looking). I have to questions for myself and maybe anyone here. Graphene was a wonder breakthrough what 10 years or so back, is it still cutting edge, that it can make a successful company? The other question why 119 active engagemments is that not just an odd thing top sell to shareholders, where does it stem from, to me 119 is nearly 120 or well over 100 I would never bother with 119 and what is an active engagement? Sorry this is not an answer for you.

And you don't have to go through the hassle of having no real control of how many you purchase, and then waiting weeks for your reduced allocation to be tradeable. I like the idea of Primary Bid but am not sure it works all that well in the real world.

I meant to thank rumbled for his reply a few days ago but forgot in that last post, so thank you rumbled things did happen pretty much as you said, so good on you.

I got my shares on interactive investors Tuesday morning they were there. I have that account and run my wifes and daughters shares accounts on Equiniti and Hargreaves Lansdowne. ii are a bit off hand, but are always up to the minute with things and trading costs are super cheap. Eqi are more flash, but higher costs but are responsive and will even compensate when things are done badly. HL are expensive, not that comunicative, but do at least build up dividends to reinvest. The only one I chose was HL as they did a Junior ISA which I wanted for dqaughter originally. I arrived at ii through Motley Fool/Halifax and Eqi through Selftrade. My experience of HL is they are nothing special, Eqi have annoyed me but have been good at customer service, ii is the best but still have a couple of niggles. I probably will keep the family portfolio's split up, but may well move away from HL, possibly even Eqi but defo would keep ii. HL just seem rubbish at doing most things efficiently and this seems another case of that even though it did not involve my own AGM shares.

Hello, anyone got their Primary Bid shares in their trading account?
Still not got mine but had set it to my ISA not normal account, they will not pay to ISA so I had to change which would have delayed things maybe a day or 2.

Reason I was set up on Primary Bid was I had some RCDO shares and they had a placing there, I did not sort out in time for that but carried on anyway for future. The Ricardo shares more or less dropped to the offer price anyway so got them on normal trade anyway, maybe a few pence short!

Deadline seems to have been extended by an hour to 8pm? Not certain of this but was on PB and buying some shares with a 2minute to closing sign, but payment declined, still managed to do another payment after and the close was 59 mins off. 1st time I've used it so a little uncerain, but thats what it looks like so if you are keen you might still have time!

So same day as Frank Lampard gets the elbow from the russian gangster, poor old Dave Shemmans is pushed out of RCDO, or did he jump? Anyway not specially a fan of either move. Though don't know how old Mr Shemmans is maybe it is due. markets seems to have reacted in favour so does that make it a good move, good for greedy short termers maybe, will have to wait and see.

Hi Pete, is there a dividend it's not shown where I usually look?

Grezzza you may be right, it is fact many drug companies have been reckless with far more development and trial time in the past. We can also assume that BATM have gained knowledge of Covid whilst testing etc.. this might turn to good use at some point.
Though we have to hope we are wrong on first point we can still hope for the 2nd!

Pfizer are now saying vaccine 95% effective with no side effect! Looking to get FDA approval within a few days. It won't be long before BATM value is largely down to telecoms whereever that might be. For me maybe 60p or so?

Thanks for the background Theosus, appreciate it.
It was just frustrating, did register with primarybid so will now get notifications from them, too late for RCDO, but may throw up something.
First time I have come across them!

Whats not to like is the drop in value of my holding, and the dilution. That is without me being able to participate in the retail offer.
OK I could have bought at a similar price. OK the price will likely and hopefully recover, but does it really recover the value, it's arguable, the capital and the divi will be divided up into more lots.
Good side is the take up, the ability to invest extra capital etc. etc. but it would be nice to have had a better chance at buying in consideration of current holdings and consequential losses.
I have held RCDO shares for 10-12 years and seen some up and down, it's a bit annoying when the down is managed by the company (I know this is a kinda Freudian as obviously the company does in effect manage the up and down by how it runs it biz)

So retail offer was on primarybid.com, it looks like its already been taken up fully as offer closed today.
Seems a pretty crappy way to run things if you are a retail investor who cannot sit in front of a computer with portfolio open all day.
Will see how things are tomorrow and maybe top up some.

I read the link and it is all about digital twinning. Sounds interesting and promising.
However I thought these kind of computer/digital simulations were already possible for most things.
There must be more to this than I realise, if so good on Ricardo.

Though maybe not much point in explanation as we can buy at practically placement price anyway bar a couple of p.
