Great write up in S Times but doesn't seem to have helped the sp. quite the contrary looking at today's nosedive.
This b/b gone very quiet; don't see any comments elsewhere about whats going on and the BMS website
doesnt even mention share suspension or ongoing investigation. anyone any views about likely outcome?
Well into July now and don't see or hear any indication of whats to happen next. I just trawled the Braemar website and
could find no mention of the suspension, investigation, or replacement of CFO. I found that a bit astonishing.
Moving ahead nicely in recent weeks. Coronation and all the May bank holidays will have helped.
A pub close to me which they recently refurbished after short closure has been extremely busy since
reopening. After many years in decline there may be reason for cautious optimism?
One thing you can say about Pete and WSG - there have been no unexpected surprises over the past ten years.
The decline in the sp has been steady and consistent. I've traded them every year and not once in my account has
the sp been higher than the previous trade.
Yet more coverage in yesterdays Telegraph.
'BRITISH CHIPMAKERS HOLD TALKS WITH WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS AMID BIDEN CHARM OFFENSIVE'
- Discussions come amid fears of $53Bn US subsidies will trigger exodus from Britain.'
Report in Business section says delegation travelled to Washington this week as Biden administration
opened appications for billions of dollars in federal funding.
'Companies involved included IQE, Paragraf and Pragmatic - all vocal critics of Britain's failure to develop a credible
chip strategy. '
Report notes that this comes after ARM spurned advances from Sunak and instead chose a New York blockbuster float.
Tim Pullen, IQE CFO is quoted 'The UK is woefully in danger of being left behind if it doesn't move swiftly to put together
a meaningful strategy.'
Proposed British strategy has been repeatedly held up amid political turmoil and disagreement between individual
departments, according to the Telegraph.
Last paragraph says it all but IQE seems to be making a good fist of improving its public and media profile. lets
just hope it helps to improve the SP!
unfortunately I haven't captured it but our new CEO was quoted in an extensive article in yesterdays' Telegraph written
by their columnist Ambrose Edwards Pritchard.
It was an extensive piece bemoaning government lack of concern and support for advanced tech and science industries.
IQE was described as a world leader and CEO saying he would have to consider relocating if more support was
not forthcoming. sorry I can't quote accurately but it was certainly a good mention for IQE in a well informed piece.
PB1943- Odd isn't it. I've written to Oliver Shah the ST Business Editor a couple of times and he promised to look into it but
SMT still not included. I noted other omissions which have been corrected but they seem determined to keep SMT off
the list. Just shows you can never believe what your read in the papers!
This reminds me of Bio Progress - later changed its name to Meldex International - another bio/pharma which showed
great promise then evaporate to nought as its CEO vanished. Some poor mugs even coughed up £4000 for a bond which also went missing. Anyone else remember?
Panadol just advertised on SKY TV as a GSK product. whole things seems to be a dogs dinner.
This seems to be in unstoppable downward spiral. Others have commented about its poor performance, but that
was some months ago. looks as though everyone has given up! I only dipped my toe in last year thinking it was a
safe if boring company. now looks as though it has to go into my kennel.
Trenners - glad to note you remain optimistic. I will keep close eye and perhaps change my mind about adding on.
I do admire the entrepueurnship attitude of management and acknowledge they've had some rough waves to ride
in recent years - but maybe thats always how it is.
For many years MRO was one of the outstanding shares of my portfolio.
Sadly in recent times its attractions have lessened and I don't like to see such significant drops in
the sp for no apparent reason. I will not be adding.
interesting company but Oh Dear - I wonder how much attention the men with oily rags pay to their long suffering shareholders!
I note some recent optimistic comments here and that the sp ha broken £4. Sadly it has been underwater for
the last seven years at least. I paid £923 for an initial holding in 2015 and added a few more in at just in excess of £10.
Seems to m that with its history and heritage the Bod need to give the image an upward shove and bring in someone
with a bit of marketing nouce to attract some greater investor interest.
In the meantime its a moribund tiddler struggling in shallow waters.
I;ve had more AIM disasters than I care to remember but this must have been the longest descent from hope to
desperation. First purchase in 2014 and about a dozen or so trades since then; maybe a small profit in a couple of
them but tracking the sp from 34p when I first bought its been a gentle decline ever since. looking at my trades there
isn't a time when the sp has risen above my initial buy. I really don't see any reason to buy in again even at this historically low price and would strongly advise an AVOID.
I recall the market crash of 1972, shortly after I had become an investor and saw my modest portfolio crumble overnight.
Reckitt and Coleman as it then was became a penny stock with rumours of a liquidity crisis. A year or so later normality was
restored. I recall an article in the Economist which said 'People thought the 1972 crash was the end of the world. It was
only a severe market correction.'
held a small number of these for a while and seen a monumental loss - but thats the risk we take with AIM. What
I dont understand, and perhaps someone can help me, is how a PLC can operate from an publicly owned body ie Southampton General Hospital. I've searched the SNG website but cant find the answer there.
mine haven't turned up either. forgetting the vouchers though we have a good write up in the Sunday Times today-
2022 could be the year we've been waiting for since goodness knows when!
