yes, agree. It's an uneasy market. Unfortunately im fully invested in my portfolio. Currently still well up as i invested the bulk (including some redundancy) during the Covid crash in 2020. But have lost recently some of those "paper" profits.
so now just adding in my monthly amount in to vale shares and growth investment trusts. i agree re: the market. I think this variant will blow over. But inflation rising, interest rate rises. i can see a correction / crash in winter 2022/2023. I was temoted to sell all and take some profits/hold cash. But I like my shares as a long term hold and they have done well. And timing the sell and then buy back is tricky....
For example, i bought barclays 0.90p... i could sell if it gets to £2.20 by next autumn.... as crash likely.... but will it go back down to 90p? Unlikely. And meanwhile earning dividends... its tricky.....
I am thinking of doing a list of shares that i would keep in event of crash (i.e. long term growth like indian stock market) and shares at first sign of crash I would sell quickly (like barclays, investec etc) and then buy back after crash....
What are other contingency plans fro crash? Be good to share wisdom
GLA.... (ps i bought skinbiotix at 15p... but even im thinking, was had sold at 75p and then buy back at 40p :( ). hindsight ! ;)
hi all. "Solid RNS". Really? So SA thought " i know, we will launch and the share price will approach halving in value - that will be my plan for the board". or "i know, I'll do an RNS update and the SP will fall by nearly 20% after my announcement".
It's not a s solid RNS. its a "2022 will be good". But no substance there, hence the rapid decline. 43p..... how much lower will this go? It's been a very disappointing post-launch period. I keep thinking back to Feb/March 2021 before BRIGHT results.... i dont think people were saying we would be here.... so why should we now think "wow, that was a great RNS, 2022 sounds wonderful". Get real.
ok, this is a little worrying. Below 50p - and the market overall not down today due to new variant. The person who should we havent declined in SP since 75p must now accept this.... and now below 50p. How much further to go? Any reason why the market so disappointed and thinks the launch has been a failure? I have a feeling that the results tomorrow are going to be disappointing
The analyzer. For me, financial independence same as Jimmy's. Work without the pressure. And have a comfortable retirement. Aiming for as near to a million pounds in investments as possible by 2030 (and no mortgage).... when I'll be mind 50s and then do some consulting when i want or chill on beach/work from there....
such a bizarre share price movement. Next time it dips below 60p (if it does) will top up
:) it only takes a minute now (wasnt that a song in the '80s??) to check ;)
And im currently inbetween jobs (starting new one on Monday). So prefer to chat here a bit and cgeck SP rather than day time tv and before school pick up :)
This BB is one of the nicer/more constructive ones and nice people like Jimmy
And yes, wishing now i had topped up, but only very small amounts as ive invested all my spare cash apart from my rainy day cash fund of 3-6 months bills :(
yep, in 5 years my hope is over £2. and then may sell/top slice or just hold and see if the company gets bought. I have a portfolio (from a couple of well paid redundancies and then getting a new job straight away) and savings that I hope will allow me to be come financially independent by 2030.
Hmmmm. At what price do people think we should be worried? <55p? We are now 15% below the SP when the BRIGHT results came out..... (then was 67p). And nearly 20p down since height of soft launch.
And lots of sells today. The market is obviously not impressed and many short term holders selling.... How big is the danger that this becomes another low sales, stagnant optibiotix?
is that being a troll? or just disagreement after quite a long thread? You cant take that out of context of the entire thread which became quite heated.
Also, the company may well do a trial, with different strengths and then charge more for the higher strengths if passed/approved as a medical treatment for psoriasis..... so saying the company may do a trial is true... SA says that too in his presentation...??
fair points jimmy
Wall st investor (not sure i rate these guys) but thought would give a more positive view too. Saying +400% over a 5 year time frame. So over £2.00 a share. That would be good for us. And in line with my expectations as a probably LTH.

Farrris - No. I was done with the app because of COVID. It was done as a cosumer study as much cheaper and mucj quicker to market and a food supplement. Lower proce tp consumers too and less (way less) regulations to overcome. If it had done medical trials it would have taken years and cosst tens of millions of pounds, but then could charge more and do medical claims.
With the risk that it would have failed the trials (see sbtx presentation - the MD says as much).This was lower risk and quicker to market, with less regulation but lower price.
jimmy. i read the thread. The dictator is not a troll. Please be careful with language. He just disagreed with others and you. Also, there are people on there obviously investors giving equally "biased" views. he was simply saying that the BRIGHT study was not a controlled triala nd was a little weighted to people using it giving positive answers. That is true. Question: It was a consumer study, no real controls, unlike randomised trial design by pharma, why wouldnt a commercial company not give the trial design that would give the most positive results? Thats why they did consumer trial and not pharma.
So, quite rightly, he was saying the company has to be careful they are now not making unsupported medical claims. As they have do no clinical trials. All seem fair points and i can see why some investors dont like that. But it backs my thinking up (as a heavily invested investor) that the consumer trial should have been more positive given the free design the company could do.
lol minde. To say there has been no SP drop is stretching the truth a bit... its now 57p and was 75p just after launch..... True, it was actuially 5p just after the COVID crash.... so it depends on when you look at it.
However, now it has a product on sale, to go from 75p to 57p (neat reverse there) is not a success is it? Now, please, come on, just admit, this sint what you and some others who were saying this is going to go were expecting was it? Just admit that.}
I think it will be a slow burn and will need some advertising/campaigns as otherwise, like opti, the sp may stagnate and underwhelm holders.
erm... tesla/apple do now have that marketing budget. They didnt when they first started. They were disruptors. But I dont remember their share price going down by 25% in the early days after one of their big launches.
hi direcons. I'm happy as sbtx has gone up for me 400% since I bought. And now that they have launched a product, I think the SP will be bottom of 55p and I think there is a need in the market and sbtx is a "good" not "excellent" product. So should increase sales with good margins and so SP increase (but more slowly than I was hoping back in March before BRIGHT results)
i sort of agree with jimmy. I think the product is good and am in for the long haul. I bought quite early so have done really well. I just think the product is 6.5/7 out of 10 rather than 9. And i think it will take longer to get a foothold and subscriptions and sales. So looking at H2 2022 before real momentum starts. And I think the company will have to do some more aggressive advertising. The patient videos are good.... but you can always get patients who are happy.... we need to get the average joe being happy and that being believed by word of mouth
GLA
nearly a 25% decline in SP since soft launch is hardly a positive is it? Im no saying that long term wont get to £1-2 but will take much longer. I mean.... compare Tesla/Apple etc ... 25% decline after a product launch would be a disaster
lets look at some facts then. Rather than opinion. Soft launch: SP 75p. Just over 2 weeks later, 59p.
Quite a sharp decline .... back to where it was just after BRIGHT results. It's hardly a positive market response to the soft launch is it?
hi. Im sorry, the results were not exceptional. most patients had mild/moderate disease. And 72% felt it got better. "felt". so 7 out of 10. Normally in these consumer type polls/survey (the trial was little more than that - as no validated disease end points) it is normally 85% plus.... think Dove soap survey..... So.... in this positively selected poll, non-randomised, 3/10 would not buy the product. Then assuming another 4/10 thought it was ok but wouldnt pay the price every day... that leaves 3/10. Then assuming only half buy (very optimistic) thats 1.5. Then assume these dont buy every day/1 or 2 orders. All of a sudden low sales numbers.
The BRIGHT results will be less in a randomised controlled pharma trial... so the product is "good" not exceptional.... and the market has responded how it has.... the product will live or die now by word of mouth.... it doesnt appear to be taking off and its 3 or so weeks after soft launch and >20% down after the soft launch blip.
I dont think Stuart's wildest dreams have come true. Lets face facts. But could still be a good, decent slow burner... but SP will take a while to increase from here.... before BRIGHT results, people were talking £2 after results and then £5 when launch and momentum. No. Not happening
