Thanks Smithy, will go in hard on the short day trade.
I don't want you to give away your trade secrets of how you work these things out (and frankly it would go over my head anywhere as I'm no good with complex maths) but any idea how low it will go so I can set sell limit?
Also - did you see me question re Brexit? I appreciate you're really busy but I'd be really interested to get your thoughts.
Exactly Smithy. TIMBER!! SBTX totally bombing today. 5% off. Now up only just over 50% in a month. But will the BBMs heed your warning? No.. they will point to that 50% rise and think it's some kind of ramparoony reason to be positive.
Ramp on BBMs. I'll keep on listening to the analysis in real time that I'm getting from the Smithmeister. When the price goes down, he calls it like it is. There's a reason he's a lot of people's favourite poster on LSE.
SBTX is clearly a goner but what you thinking on OPTI Smithy? Im ready to invest but am keen to hear your thoughts on where the bottom of market will be. Hoping for 40p still? Im liking that call and can definitely see at least a 2 or 3p upside at that price. Did you sell your 55k shares or are you keeping those as a hedge just in case all the ramptastic BBMs drive the price up on no news apart from all the contracts?
And do we think Brexit is an issue? I'd love to get your take on the whole Brexit mess and how the UK gets out of it.

Finally some sense on this board. You told people, Smithy. And everyone was arrogantly talking about ‘yeah but it’s still higher than it was at the start of the week and these just seem like small fluctuations because nothing goes up in a straight line and overall I’m massively up and actually on a longer time line the trajectory of this share has been amazing ’. Whatever! Well. Well. Well. Maybe they’ll listen now.

Totally busted. You got me, James. I am Smithacus.
You can fool some of the people some of the time but you can’t fool one of the James one of the time. Need to get up pretty early in the morning to get one over on you, James. At least before midday.
Absolutely Smithy! Timber!! We've all been waiting for it Smithy. As you've quite reasonably said before, every collapse begins with the first 1.70% drop. People should remember, at one point, Lehman Brothers was 1.70% down. That really should give people pause. The journey to the floor begins here, only regularly interrupted by the days when the share price goes up.
What are we thinking for bottom of the market, Smithy? 40p? 38? Lower? I've got my own thoughts, but not many, so I'm locked and loaded and waiting for your call, as is anyone with any sense.

Exactly Smithy. But will the BBMs listen to you? They'll probably say -2.5% is not really a collapse, more a day-to-day fluctuation. But what if this is just the start? Each collapse starts with the first 2.5%. Each journey with a single step. That's what they're not getting but they don't see the big picture.
People need to know you write as a concerned shareholder with 55,000 shares and you just want this company to do well. That's why on the up days, like yesterday, you don't need to say anything. Because you're happy with how things are progressing. But when it's going down.. as a major shareholder, it's your job to bring sense, balance and some critical analysis to the discussion. And I really feel you did this with your last post, boiling down everything that gets written about OPTI into a sensible, reasoned argument encapsulated across three words.
Thanks Smithy. Keep up the good work and hopefully OPTI will get to exactly where you want it to be soon. I'll be waiting for your call on the bottom of the market to buy back in and following your analysis until the call comes.

Exactly Smithy. That’s why there are so many furious LTHs on this board and others expressing exactly your sentiments. I mean there aren’t and they don’t. But there could be then they would.
It makes me laugh that people always make fun of you and call you crazy and illogical and scream that you have way too much time on your hands. But that’s only because they are reading what you’ve written and making a judgement purely based on that. But you’ve told them you’re a big holder. You want this to go big. OPTI does well and you get rich(er). It’s that simple. You only post so regularly because you care deeply. And that really comes across clearly In what you write. When will the BBMs realise??

It makes me laugh when people dismiss Smithy as this know-nothing, semi-literate, amateur hour fantasist who wouldn't know a bed and ISA from a bed and breakfast. Why don't we look at the SUBSTANCE of what he's saying? Why don't we look at his TRACK RECORD for successful investing.
When Smithy talks, people should listen. No matter what he's saying.
Listen. To. Smithy!
Exactly Smithy. Too many people just buying and holding this share. That's why the price has crashed. That's the problem with Opti. That's shareprice 101. Read a stock market book people!

Exactly Smithy. People aren’t doing the maths. If you bought at 8p and it gets to 125p and you don’t sell you have lost money. By not calling exactly the top of the market these LTHs are are missing out on maximising their profits - all because they believe in the long term investment case. But that’s so short termist. Buy low, sell high. It’s easy. When the share is worth more than you paid for it, sell! What’s so difficult to see about that???

And another thing. I'm so SICK of people telling me this share has 10 bagged and so been an incredible investment. So what? That's just numbers and facts. You can make numbers and facts say anything.
SoH stop holding this share back and let someone in that knows how to make $$$!!! #SmithyforCEO
As always, Smithy, you're 100 percent on the money. So many projections for 60p. Why is no one else talking about all the other 60p projections floating around? Conspiracy? SOH media manipulation? Illuminati and New World Order interested in keeping the price artificially high? Just so many other projections of 60p, that the fact all these projections aren't being talked about makes me think those can be the only reason.. I mean... I haven't seen one such projection. But that's only because I haven't been looking.
Definitely something really suspicious going on. So many questions. Why is it taking time for a company selling something to build revenue? Why don't they just have massive revenue straight away? Why do they have to waste time closing all these deals to sell their product? When they say it is scientifically tested tech in peer reviewed journals, how do we know? I don't think it's proven. I know people that don't think it's proven. That's three people I know that don't think its proven. And yet they keep wheeling out 'published science' and 'scientists'. But they never mention me and my mates. Just the people that think its proven, ignore the people that think its not. Classic SoH move. He's the worst.
Does SoH even know what country the microbiome is in? I say fire SoH and get in someone that KNOWS how to build a multi-million pound business.

Absolutely, Smithy. Very concerning indeed. In fact, let me go further - and I don't want to alarm anyone here, that's definitely not my intention - but i'd say very, very concerning, with two verys. Or maybe even VERY concerning with just one very but in caps.
Keep fighting the good fight Smithy. You're a very good man doing very important work with your very precious time.
