No problem, the divi is 6.4p per share. Not sure what you mean by 'the flying things' I assume you mean BAe, or is it something else. I don't get IC or any written media, I don't even read newspapers any more. Apart from the FT and Telegraph, they are only fit for lighting fires with !

Derrrr.. Of course that should have been 340p !

Oh you are a one ! As a matter of interest, do you know what the BAe interim divi is? I'll have to decide if they're worth keeping until next wednesday, assuming they get past 240p that is.

For the benefit of those not familiar with Ark and it's place in the world, have a look at their website. But for now here is a RNS put out recently. Ark Therapeutics Group plc ("Ark" or the "Company") today announces that further results from its Phase III study (ASPECT) of Cerepro , the Company's novel gene-based therapy for the treatment of malignant glioma, will be presented at the American Society of Neuro-Oncology Conference in New Orleans on 22 October 2009. The results update will be presented by Professor Zvi Ram, of the Tel Aviv Medical Centre, Israel, one of the principal investigators for the ASPECT Study, at the Top Scoring Abstracts Session of the Conference between 2.45pm and 3.00pm CDT. Ark will also sponsor a satellite symposium for healthcare professionals at the Conference later in the day entitled, "Future Treatment of High Grade Glioma (HGG)" chaired by Professor Manfred Westphal, of University Hospital, Hamburg. Professor Manfred Westphal will also present an update on the Cerepro clinical programme. Other scheduled speakers include Professor Martin van den Bent, of Erasmus MC, Rotterdam and Professor Zvi Ram who will review the current and future management of HGG.

...we need to shake the dust off this board, it could be needed quite soon !

I think you may need to wait until Thursday next week, but keep watching. Funny thing this morning, I couldnt buy more than 5,000 first thing, then it went up to 10,000 @ 47.6 and then eventually I had to deal direct with the markets and was offered 40,000 @ 49p. After a bit of 'negotiation' I managed to get them at 48p, but buys since, albeit smaller trades, have been @47 or even slightly less. I wonder why that is? Note though that there were no buys all week until today. I think the Proffessor's trip from Isreal to New Orleans would not be to give bad news and perhaps a bit of the news has leaked. Who knows. Glad you got in at a good price anyway. Nighthawk - I thought it was going to fly this week, but it seems to have settled back on the eggs, so you might have to wait a while. What is the gestation period for a Nighthawk? Not good news for MWA I see. I get no satisfaction from seeing a country torn apart, but if it gets the current regime out of the way, it has to be worth the struggle.

Might be an idea to get in today at AKT, I had to deal over the phone again and could only get 48p. The buying seems to have started early, maybe everyones learned the lesson with PYM and OXB and aren't waiting for the announcement. Please DYOR research, but the announcement will be made at the Neuro-Oncology Conference in New Orleans on the 22nd October by Proffessor Zvi Ram and will give an update on the Phase III trial of Cerepro, Ark's lead pipeline drug. It is a new and unique treatment for Malignant Glioma, (cancerous brain tumor) and from what I've read, it is should be good news - that is only my opinion based on the information available. DYOR and make your own decision. The SP was 150p in 2007 and 90p last year, so I think there is room for a good rise next week. Maybe not another PYM, but a good drink.

So, another one tracked us down! We use this board as a place to share views which may be regarded in other places as 'Ramping' or 'Deramping'. It is a safe haven from the more hysterical boards and a place to speak about strategies, thoughts and general views, without the frantic hassle of the main boards. A backwater which may be boring to some, but we like it. You are of course welcome to visit and contribute if you so wish. Take from here what you will, but don't spoil it, please. I did leave a message for Mark Lejman (for the third time) but as yet, no reply. I'll keep you posted.

No, I don't see CSLT going bump. It is a good business and has just added a large range of new safety clothing. available online. With the new contracts and the funding in place to expand its international business, it should be flying. So why is it doing nothing? I think a phone call might be in order. Gosh, you have got a varied portfolio. Mine used to be like that, but the clearout worked for me, hope it does for you. Think you did right selling Punch, it is a low price, but I can't see a good upside there for a while. Surprised that MWA has fallen, although miners are generally lower. Just realised that BAe go XD next Wednesday, so will get a bit back there. Don't forget to save some liquidity for AKT next week, if you so decide of course. I'm not sure of the content of the announcement on the 21st, but will try to find out over the next few days. Would be nice to get a 'Hat Trick' of small pharma's. It is 'under the radar' at the moment, so should stay affordable. Off to lunch.

Oh, forgotr to mention, keep AKT under your hat for now. I'm going to do a bit more digging over the weekend with a view to buying Monday or maybe Tuesday, so wouldn't want it to lift off too soon. I'll keep you posted.

Brief break from the day job. Nice in & out at OXB this morning. Couldn't watch it so set a limit sell at 20p and was 6k better off when I got home. Dropped back a bit since, so might have another bite later. I hadn't seen the RNS was due, so didn't spot it until this morning, sorry about that. I missed out a bit as they opened at 11p, but I couldn't buy and by the time I had a deal, over the phone, they were 14p, so the 5 minutes cost me 3k. But, I'm not being greedy, I'm more than happy with the last two days. Not happy with CSLT though. They are just going nowhere at the moment and it's costing me dearly. I think I might have to bite the bullet on that one, but I'll give it a bit longer. Punch Taverns, yeah, down again today to a 3 month low, but picked up a little. I think it may be a buy at this price, if I can free up funds from BAe or CSLT. I'm not using my liquid cash as I want to keep it free for more 'double baggers'. I'm still keen on AKT for next week. CNA - A good long termer I would say, not going to set the FTSE alight, but is low at the moment and if you judge the bottom correctly, should pay off. Winter's coming, which will boost revenues and, importantly to you I think, they have increased the dividend by 5%.

Anytime mate, I try to help. The good thing with OXB is the commercial tie ups they already have. Read the RNS and they are already talking about partnership (or TO). Got to be good for the PD sufferers.

May be too late whern you read this, but OXB are due to do a PYM today, same deal. Read the RNS. Speak later - I just got in @14p

PYM may have seen it's best but check out OXB - Same sort of share and similar RNS just out Try and get in quick!

Ha.. Don't like boats, but I've got my eye on a Cessna 182. Seriously, I did OK and got out at my target price. This will retrace now, but the company has been revalued as a result and will go on to bigger and better things. We should all say a big thank you to Sandy Morrison and the team at Phytopharma. I rang him earlier to say thanks personally, they have done a great job.

should have read: I'll keep you posted, but I don't expect another PYM. That's it for now,a good day all round, for you as well I trust.

Sadly, I was driving so couldn't celebrate properly, that'll happen Friday. Funny old world, £1000 for every 1p rise, wish I had one of those every week. But I'm happy with what I made and I do think a retrace is on the cards once the hysteria dies down. Still a good long termer though, remember it's going to be two years at least before the trials are completed. When you say punch, I take it you mean Punch Taverns ! I looked at them earlier but the massive debt, combined with the property losses put me off a bit. But Christmas is coming and they did pay off £1 Billion and of course the property loss is only on paper, so maybe you did the right thing. I can't honestly see a big profit in DSGI. If they have a good Christmas, there might be some gain, but they're on a par with HOME and KESA so don't see much out of the ordinary and the price isn't really low at the moment. Safe, but unexciting I think. CSLT are starting to annoy me a bit. They are just not fulfilling the potential at all and I've a lot of funds tied up doing nothing there. Might have to look again at the value in them. BAe were a let down today. With FTSE booming and reasonable news, I expected to be out of them by the close. Luckily my Russians weren't in my buying 'window' so I didn't need the proceeds. Another back burner job. AKT are looking interesting. They are announcing the results of their trials on the 22nd so I will look to get a feel on that one and maybe get in sub 45p. I'll keep yo

Have you ever played 'pass the parcel' ?

Wow, it's really hysterical on the PYM board now, I'm glad I'm out. Having a look at your suggestions then lunch. Possibly a long one...

is enough. Thanks all, I'll see you on a dip.
