At least MERC are honest about not always being right about the businesses they support. At this level there will always be a few 'dogs'. Just so long as the winners win big MERC can and will go places.

....I would not be surprised if Nano finishes first day worth nearer £7 Billion. Other IPO investments also worth more than the £240m now in the SP. I reckon this is a MM treeshake so they can tuck them away in private funds until the float of Nano.

Not looking this in the mouth! Just upped my holding.

...makes it clear and quotes Hanno on the record. Yet no RNS and SP falling from present level!!!
With an EPC signed we should be derisked and therefore considerably higher than the SP before it was signed. Does no-one believe anything?
Whyat the **** is going on?

positive....sorta. Would be interesting to know if Roger took the lot. The least it proves is that there must be a plan to keep this going for some purpose likely to be an important patented use for chitin. Sell? Not me!

CF73, 'the word is' - are we allowed to know WHOSE word that is? It might give us LTHs a crumb of comfort. We all know what further silence is going to do for our appalling SP.

Interesting. Would have been useful to know who took these new shares, presumably just for working capital. No obligation on the co to tell us that , but certainly something is brewing here.

Do these idiots cashing in now not do sums? 15% of £7 Billion (expected Nano opening value) is £1Billion !!! And that is valuing all our other interests at zero. And they are selling!

Where's our RNS? SP will not reflect huge news without it. See for yourself and ACT NOW.

I won't argue with you,garykc! But the response on today's lousy market is pretty anaemic. If I had spare cash, I would buy more, but, sadly, I don't.

...see I have missed some important news. At last and not before time, maybe the SP will start moving northward.

holding now for the buyout, possibly at 10p.

...Russian Roulette - but in this case Chinese. Should I feel comforted?

We need someone on here who knows the industry like you. Unfortunately this is now a 'tiddlywink' share to be playrd around with by the day-traders and us LTHs would do well to just wait and see, if we can bear the potential losses.

BOUK - This is the advantage to small investors of a co like ours. Some of their invs do not work out but many do and they are exciting start-ups we would not otherwise have the opportunity to participate. I only have a tiny % of my portfolio here but it makes sense. I have a bit more in IPO and look what is happening there!

I am not the only one who believes MERC's disclosed NAV is rather historical and conservative. Pleased I backed my hunch.

...would be daft enough to sell these NOW?!

..this now goes to a 1 for 100 consolidation ( a la UJO), and then more dilution, I think I will be out. That would seal it for me that our two heroes are really just as villainous as most of the other heads of exploration minnows. Steve & Sachin, please prove me wrong!!

when all there is on this Board are the paid rampers and dr-s.

Hi Squiffy. There has been some highlighting in recent days of how many takeovers are happening and this is a moneymaker for merchant banks who are expected to announce large increases in profits in due course. Yolu just have to check this co's RNS's to notice the business. I am a LTH.
