Thanks Hikikomori. Yes that’s the sort of advice people should be given. I did well with Barclays and R-R and few others at the beginnings and then through inexperience lost loads with NCYT. I’m older and a bit wiser now but it’s a risky business!

I’ve got misgivings on the Government’s encouragement for people to invest in stocks and shares. Whilst there are many success stories there are many disastrous ones. They will say shares can go up and down and we say yeah, yeah we know that. If you invest in speculative shares they can bite you in the bottom. I’m way down on my investments but hope HEMO will make it all come good again. Cash ISA’s would have been a better option. That’s based on my current circumstances. I remain very hopeful but 5 years spent looking at LSE. I’ve wasted a lot of time with that. Am I investing with my ISA’s or gambling and if the latter, is that something ISA’s should facilitate. Any thought?

I would be surprised if we heard anything about recruitment until they’ve been treated and the results are known to them. Seems to be a news black-out. I’m sure things are happening but investors don’t get a ring side seat. I guess they think the patient’s condition and whether the treatment works is more important than my need to make a few quid profit.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the new patients are already being treated. With it being a higher dose (for the adult) and the first lower dose a child there will be more testing and waiting and more testing before they announce anything. If you’re not needing to sell, the share price is just a label they stick on LSE. We will hear some news when they are good and ready to tell us. That’s how I view it. I may be wrong.

When Vlad mentions that the transfer to Cellin is imminent, my mind relays one of my wife’s sayings. When I ask when is such and such going to happen she often says “Now, in a minute” which always leaves me wondering if it is now or a minute. It can’t be both. I think the intention is now but a few things have to happen first. I think Vlad means that too.

It may be my imagination but when I see Vlad's comments on Linkedin, he seems pretty chilled out. I know some on here think he's killed his three patients and maybe has a sideline business with a funeral cart (funeral Car-T), but I just don't get that impression at all. He wrote last week "Fantastic! Lilly finally is in cell therapy mode. CAR-T field is heating up". He sounds like a man who knows things are going well. It is taking too long for even the most patient of us, including me, but I'm happy to stay the course. The annual accounts report is due this week. I'm looking forward to reading some news. Even if it does take longer, I will continue to look to the horizon and wait for good news to appear and make it's way towards me.

Hi Pumpky. I'm sure there is a lot going on behind the scenes. They announced on a RNS that treatment had started for the first patient in February 2025, and then for patients 2 and 3, the first we heard was when they had been successfully treated, followed a month later when the safety tests have been passed. So treatment could be ongoing at the moment. I agree that it would be nice to know. The annual accounts are usually announced in the last week of April so hopefully they might tell us what is happening. I guess selecting the right patients and looking after them takes time.

This is slightly off-topic but I hold my HEMO shares in a Hargreaves Lansdown Stocks and Shares ISA. I have to keep some cash in the ISA because they charge me £3.75 a month (£45 pa) to run the account. This month the monthly charge has risen to £12.50 (£150pa).

I vaguely remembered seeing an email from them on January 26th that their charges were changing and the headline was that they were reducing their charges from 0.45% to 0.35% so I thought that was to my benefit. Further down the email it did say that nobody would pay more than £150pa but I had stopped reading by that point and was rejoicing in this apparent reduction in their costs. Silly me for not digesting it properly. I always liked HL but I like them a little less now.

HL have an Active Savings product when you can invest in all sorts of building societies etc through them and I have a cash ISA with one of these societies, via HL. I thought I’d investigate transferring some of my cash ISA across to my HL Stocks and Shares. Yes you can do a transfer. When checking this with Co-Pilot AI it warned me that taking the money out of the cash ISA would lose its ISA status and the money put into the Stocks & Shares would be treated as this years £20,000 allowance. Nothing on HL was shouting a warning to me. Co-Pilot was on a separate part of my computer screen but was reading my HL page which was scary, but I think it gave me some good advice.

I know some of our investors on HEMO say they have a high IQ. When it comes to these sorts of things I obviously have a very low IQ!! Just thought I would share my experiences in case others were in the same boat.

Hargreaves Lansdown app and website are working now.

How much do you think the HEMO share price is down, is due to the Iran situation that has spooked the markets generally? I know we are always waiting for news from Vlad, but people might just be withdrawing from their share investments because they deem them to be risky. From what I see, there seem to be more buys than sells at the moment. Let's hope the price starts travelling up again.

Sorry to read your post Bowtie. I would have bailed out much earlier than I did, but couldn’t bring myself to accept taking a loss. I thought something positive must happen eventually, but everyone is still waiting. I invested £42k and left with £6k about 18 months ago. I put that into HEMO (Hemogenyx) and it went down even further (!) but they picked up and my £6k is currently worth £19k. They hope their shares will get a major boost once Big Pharma get involved. Please don’t take that as a ramp or recommendation. I’m just sharing what I did.

In fact I wish I had never got involved in shares in the first place. I was just getting away from low interest rate building society accounts at the time. I wish all the NCYT holders all the best. You deserve some good news.

Lostapound. I wouldn’t keep worrying about whether people agree or disagree with you. If anybody’s prediction on HEMO timescales comes true, I reckon they are just lucky. And there are no prizes for being right. It’s interesting trying to predict what will happen with HEMO, but only in the same way as predicting the football results. Chill out and just sit and wait for it all to happen as I do. I’ve been hearing promises of good things for the last five years but there seems to be a genuine sense of excitement in the air for positive news. Once our investment has reached dizzying heights we can forget all about the disagreements.

At the end of April they always publish their "Final Results" - financials up to the end of last December. They should be bringing us all up to date then. It is one of the main communication channels they have to observe. I wouldn't mind something meaty in an RNS before then though!

Am I the only one getting rather tired of these warrants discussions. In fact they are not even discussions.

HereforHemo posts some useful and encouraging information which I greatly appreciate. Much better than these childish rants that some are constantly churning out. Wait patiently for the news we are all looking for. If you have nothing useful to say, then please don't say it.

I'm not expecting any good news for a few weeks. I hope I'm wrong, of course. The last RNS suggested MADE are in the final stages of the production transfer. These things take time, and final stages could still take weeks. I am convinced good news is coming, and every morning I look to see if it has arrived. I'm not disappointed when it doesn't come. I just wait for tomorrow and repeat the process.

Pumpky gets a lot of criticism. He wants the share to do well. He's just always having a go at people who promise amazing news will happen this afternoon. That's how I interpret it.

I never understand why people complain when Vlad raises money. The last time I looked at their P&L a/c they had no income. The money has to come from somewhere. Each share raise dilutes the capital base, but the more they continue to develop their product line, the more it is worth. It just takes patience on our part.

Waiting for news requires great patience. It’s 330 days until Christmas Day. That’s a definite. But who knows when the important HEMO RNS’s will appear? All we can safely say is, as each day passes we are one day closer. Worrying about timing doesn’t make it happen any quicker so we just chill out and wait for the answer to the question – are we nearly there yet?

I understand that the news we are waiting for is market sensitive. Are they waiting until everything is sorted out i.e. transfer to MADE, Estonia, Big Pharma involvement etc. before communicating with us? It would be nice to have the odd snippet of news when certain aspects are firmly in place.

People often say, “It will be ready when it’s ready.” That never helps but it’s all we’ve got. It’s good to see the share price heading in the right direction recently. It should start to recognise the huge impact any good news will have for the company.

That was meant to say JPM Week, not PM Week.

Vlad has just posted the following on Linkedin.

I am eager to participate in the SanFranciscoCEO conference at the start of PMweek. It is a great opportunity to reconnect with old friends and form new connections with people who share the same goal: improving healthcare and saving lives.

Let's hope it's productive for him (and us).

Hi Drutor. I don’t think there is much to worry about in the short term. We may keep bumbling along like this for a while yet. The share price is really low and doesn’t reflect the value of what the company has achieved and will achieve. I sense Vlad is relaxed about life, judging by his comments on other subjects on Linkedin. I just think it’s a waiting game. Keep your chin up.

We are all waiting for news, but what if you’re in line to be that fourth patient or the first young patient. How must they be feeling? More anxioius than us I should think.

That JP Morgan conference sounds really exciting but even if discussions with Big Pharma start in earnest, it can still take ages before we learn of the outcome. Having waited so long I’ve got used to waiting, so I’m quite relaxed about it. I’m sure good news is coming. I look for positive signals, watch and wait but try to get on with the rest of my life in the meantime!
