The Basher's recent posting shows clearly that it is FIVE years old! Do bear that in mind.

I certainly hope so. Am I correct that both this co and the other are situated on Oxford Science Park?

I wish her well. My lifelong love has lived with it for 55 years. It is awful and I do hope they get a move on with P140, but I fear that we may still be some way off from this providing some sort of remedy. At last you are able still to love and care for her. I live in UK and my love lives in Canada!

The capital is valued at less than £28M. Not zero, but with P140 potentially valued not in millions but BILLIONS, it is still cheap as chips. I have no reason to sell any until double figures are reached and even then the total cap will still be worth less than £60M.

....been a mainstay of the p/f. No reason at all to want to change that.

...divi tomorrow!

....next results RNS. Likely to get at least one more RNS in that time which could cover more diamond results, gold results or progress on extracting value from Tant Valley.

1msn - I have significantly increased my holding here and hope you are right that these are now 'in play'. Definitely too cheap and recommended as a 'Buy' today even in spite of this rather wobbly market.

...for next results now which should herald a major advance in this SP!

...one more bag from here and the next tranche gets sold! Third and last tranche will retain.

Bought back what I sold! Will now hold long

Buying today. Markets are awful. Just have to wait!

...massive leap when US markets open

....will cash out but LTHs like me will just look forward. My first sale here is still a long way away. Thinking I might lighten the load by a third when this moves past 5p, another third at perhaps 7.5p and hold the remainder for dividends/takeover.

...only just started its climb.

These have already been my saviour once and now I will wait for at least 12p and only sell another 150,000.

As an old,nay,'ancient', investor, I would first ensure you have enough other savings elsewhere you can call on in emergency.

Next, if you do not already have an ISA, get one for your entire £20,000. As things stand now, before the Budget, you can put the lot into a Cash ISA where it can only earn you tax-free interest; if you have done that too, then (and ONLY then) you are entitled to think about a Stocks and Shares ISA. You need to look at the charges various providers make because they do vary and their reputations! I would include Vanguard in that list because they are huge and risk averse. Finally, I would advise you at this stage not to be tempted by ANY companies listed on the smaller UK market, known as AIM. Far too much of a gamble.

Follow this advice and you will continue to sleep well and continue in robust health!

....our second largest holding has just won a $1M contract from a British company. Shame about our largest, Tesla, but at least Elon can now concentrate on improving its fortunes!

...the FCA being challenged in court as having permitted a fraud on all minority shareholders by effectively excluding any other companies from having any or adequate time to have access to full information in order to decide whether to counterbid.

....is covered 7.5 times by 2924/5 profits. They can afford to raise it significantly this year, especially if new defence work keeps rolling in, as I expect it will.
