I expect - fairly soon - a good upward spike in the Au price. So, some gold miners MAY enjoy the upward thrust. However, i think that bullion is a slightly better bet for now. Otherwise EFT's which trace, individual, or various baskets of precious metals, is a more fluid way to benefit from the surge towards the precious metals ATB ,

Re: gold price I expect a good, positive, climb above $1K per oz before too much longer ATB

“The group's shares have been on a downward trajectory since, after hitting year highs of 105p last June. However, observers are not as downbeat as you might expect. True, those at Investec, who revised their price target from 41p to 59p on the bad Renzapride news, say that given where the shares trade, the stock is theoretically a hold. However, the analysts advise clients to buy the stock. The reason is the group's other potential blockbuster, the anti-obesity and type 2 diabetes drug Celilistat, which is expected to win "a major licensing deal... in the near future. We therefore recommend buying on weakness", they say. Finn Capital points out that the group has raised £10m from institutional lenders to remain a going concern and, "this demonstrates institutional confidence in Alizyme's ability to deliver", they reckon. The truth is that buying into smaller biotech companies is always a punt. Those with a nervous disposition should avoid the sector that depends largely on companies with sound ideas transforming good science into a commercially viable treatment. The failure list is long. However, while analysts are all too happy to point out a basket case when they see one, none ascribes that moniker to Alizyme, which is also set to receive third phase results on another treatment, Colal-Pred, for ulcerative colitis, in July. Biotech valuations are largely driven by news flow. Alizyme is expecting lots in the next few months, and most of

Let's hope it's near to the btm!

Re: My last post. I note that the "May fly" is a somewhat ephemeral entity! So, perhaps, I should describe ASM as a "butterfly emerging from its chrysalis May it fly...................

Thanks for that! I've been around a long time. On balance, over the years, things have been good. However we are cursed by living in "interesting times" right now - it's really difficult either, to know when to hold, or when to jump! Also, in the background - as far as I read it - there is the potenital for the mother-of-all depressions [in fact, stagflation] - which will murder the stock-market. So I tend to get in and out, more quickly, than usual, if in profit. However, one always tends to hold on to losers for too long - you don't like to admit that you are wrong! Have a good weekend. The weather up here, just north of Edinburgh, is great this afternoon. Just opened a bottle of Chardonnay - so things are getting better by the glass :) ATB The Blue

Now down to 8.5p - glad I jumped ship! I think they will be filing for their own IVA before much longer. Sorry for those still - doesn't seem to be much hope here ATB

They seem secure cash-wise for the next couple of years, and I like the part from the recent release: 'We hadn't appreciated that it would be of this scale and with this quality of company. What they (Antisoma) have acquired is a very mature drug pipeline for not very much money. It is a very astute bit of business.' Let's hope for some action here, soon.

Finally sold this junk - taking a £19.5K hit. What a dog. I usually clear out my basement before the end of each tax year. But decided to hold this one for a while longer as I thought: debt - IVA's - slowdown etc... was the place to be - wrong!!! Never mind I still think that pawn-brokers are worth a look. I think that this lot may go down the tubes :( ATB for all of you still hanging on. I just couldn't stand looking at that loss every morning staring me in the face when I logged on! I've been released - I'm a new man. Well then again maybe not, but at least this particular account looks a bit better!

Has to be moving back to a reasonable buy-in level again. ATB

I would use the phrase "the only way is up" but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth after its use a decade or so ago. See some of my earlier posts - there is great potential here, at this lowly SP level.

A lot of pharmas are starting to scare me – high gearing & debt etc.. – lots of basket-cases in last few months, when they fail at later-stage trials. I’ve £30K sitting here on a couple of grand profit. Tempting to grab and run?

Hope this is the start of it :)

Upbeat preliminary results - good news today.

AZM would give one I.B.S. However this drop is way overdone - back in £30K @ 28.25p Too much potential here to miss the head northwards, soon hopefully!

Another one heading towards the recycle industry - character-building! At my age, I shuld have spotted such rip-offs. Hmmm........

We are now, moving into interesting times! Our intrepid government, has moved into the world of “double moral hazard,” massively - re: silly bank lending to sheeple! – encouraged and enjoyed by “New Liebour” over the last decade! Our money, as tax-payers, is now being used to prop up the scandalous spending, over the last decade, by Crash Gordon which has encouraged the mass of pee-ons to follow suit, - sad but true, - to fallaciously support his egotistical dream! Lord help us all – commodities [especially, oil, gas & gold] & Swiss franc [anything other than the $, £ & Euro which = toilet paper”] – makes sense, for now ATB.

Hey it’s great to have a split personality! I can speak sense to myself, disagree totally at times, enter into great esoteric discussions, sharpen my intellect - “iron of iron” [biblical] – but when I finally lie down at night [depending on the wife’s inclination – don’t get me started on the subject of "GLS"] – I’m totally at rest PS I’m still twitching – quite wildly at times – to get back in, big time, to both oil, and other, commodity shares Will be in touch!! :)

Take it easy mate! Please have an extended lie-down in a darkened room! Catch you later - no malice meant. We are all here, to make money, and then spend it, or spread it around, as we feel appropriate - hopefully, benevolently, altruistically, according to our various consciences!!?? Don't get me started on this recent "government's" massive mishandling of the economy, or anything else beginning with "E", or - for that case - any other letter of the alphabet. We are in for big-time depression, stagflation...etc... make sure your portfolio is balanced appropriately!! “I’d like to laugh, but I can’t - for now….”

On the sidelines, here also for now [also VOG] I note that there's a slight upward move today. It has a fairly small Market Cap. - so fluidity = a problem for me - however may well buy, smaller batches, on dips. ATB with your investment! :)
