Bignose - I don't really share that view. Did all the investors post the UK launch study developments back in 2014 ? They were not waiting for income, so what rattled their cages?
Pharma investors typically invest years ahead of any income generation and indeed years ahead of even having an approved product. Typically there is just a crica 10% success rate from P1 to P3 and approval. Fortacin is ahead of this curve and the global market is siginificant and the comprtition limited.
It would also seem to be a pretty good bet that FDA approval will follow and whilst we are frustrated, the timeframe for a new investor to come on board is not really an issue.
So it seems to me that RP is either under the HK investor radar or the view on commercial prospects is very negative - indeed, it is pretty much currently priced to fail completely, if the listing valuation is correct.
I don't know about large sums of money waiting at the doorstep, that was presumably one of the reasons behind moving Ple to HK, the 4th largest market in the world. It certainly arrived post the UK launch, but was this trading frenzy driven by one large buyer that others traded around until they acquired their poistion and the bid dried up.
I continue to beleive from past events that a large stake post UK launch is the best fit., otherwise very difficult to make sense of the share price action / volumes over the last few months especially. Perhaps I am misunderstanding the dynamics of the HKSE.
