It has also gone up by a factor of 125:1 on at least three occasions without any pumping from anyone.

PM - how do you know I'm not invested now? Have you considered that I may have bought in, finally convinced after your post in the summer when you said '....More likely we hit 2.2p with warrants executed.

Future secured and no big discounts. The only way is up.'

Ok so it's around 60 to 75 percent down from there, but looking pretty good isn't it. Now, what's the best way to get some newbies to throw their hard-earned in here to pump it up? I need a 3 bigger just to get back to my buy-in on your summer wisdom...

'On the horizon.'

Like a Fata Morgana, for example.

'Approx 1.5 million a year for a biotech with valuable products seems the best around' - That's true, assuming a) you've got an income of at least £1.5 million a year, and b) you have valuable products.

That's two holes in your argument then....

Even if you got Adrian and Adam back and even if they were exceptionally good, it would be like giving Verstappen a Morris Marina and asking him to be competitive in Formula one. The science is stagnant and unloved at best, and all fund-raising promises (Black Cat, ThereomRX etc) appear to have been little more than stalling exercises to get some puff into the next placing on a 'just around the corner' promise which never appears.

PM - I can't decide whether you have a deeply dishonest motive in posting what you do, the trail of abuse and hate directed at Porky and others as they predicted everything that has happened, or whether you are so naive that you actually believe the repetitive cycle of fiction that you come out with. You make Mystic Meg look like a high-end actuary.

'....although it carries some risk...' That's an understatement if ever there was!

Anyway, glad to see you back PM2022 - you have to admit though, Porky was right all along wasn't he? A simple 'yes' or 'no' will suffice.

You say 'I’m shocked they got this raise away and even more shocked ME invested another 90k knowing another raise at lower prices will be essential', but if the cheer leaders see his 90k as a vote if confidence it will help them to see 'confidence' in the company, 'skin in the game' and similar over used clichés, while unlike any other thrower of money (I hesitate to say 'investor') ME is getting 10 grand a month in return, or whatever his salary is. That's a much better return if it helps keep the life support system going. No company means no salary after all.

While a surge in the sp would be nice and the reaction is certainly muted, I'd still rather see the publication of solid and highly promising data with a dull sp for now, than have Scancell be like one of those companies where they put a vague and waffly RNS out which is then followed by an inexplicable surge in the sp driven by a bunch of new 'expert' posters, which then fizzles out after a couple of days. The RNS this morning is solid scientific progress which is streets ahead of the industry standard. That's an immutable fact, and will be presented where it matters over the weekend, and that's fine by me.

Looking back at the RNSs dealing with fundraising (all preceded by a plethora of optimistic 'deals' and 'agreements') they raised roughly 1,500,000 pounds in December 2024 and similar in December 2023. The 2023 raise was at 6p, the December 2024 raise was at 0.65p, and this latest is at 0.25 but only raised 57 percent of the previous two amounts so at historic rates of cash burn will last a few days over 6 months provided the Christmas bonuses are not excessive. This seems to point to another raise before May of next year at what price? 0.10? If less than that they will presumably have to do a consolidation in late winter or early spring. I am assuming that there is no income of any significance coming in from elsewhere, which seems to be the norm for the company. Perhaps they could save on costs by cancelling the lease on the loss-making laboratory or raise capital by selling 201 and the rest on 'Cash in the Attic', but that might not even generate enough for a return flight to California.

Perhaps some of the mysteriously absent supporters could give their opinion, just for balance...

I have mixed feelings about AI, but it's worth bearing in mind the 'facts' and agenda-pushing 'predictions' which have been peddles here over the years in an often very orchestrated fashion - they were way more dangerous than any fears of AI getting it wrong. As with any research, acknowledging the source is essential but often gets lost in repetition of half-remembered information.

I was thinking the same GF, and you may remember that a couple of years ago that same poster announced a sort of 'wobbly bottom lip' departure from here because nobody agreed with him that Scancell was entirely a lifestyle company of no worth at all. Funny how he now expresses optimism for the future, but that probably says more about him than Scancell.

Uncanny claimed only a couple of weeks ago to own over 6 percent of this outfit, yet apparently has nothing to say about today's events. Presumably he still owns 6 percent odd, but today it is worth less than half what it was when he last posted. And nothing to say about it. Not even - 'Porky9, you were right. Again.'

Many thanks as ever botski. Look forward to hearing the recording and also to maybe seeing you again at some future AGM all being well.

Uncanny seems conspicuously absent, but is no doubt watching and waiting for the dust to settle before starting another rampfest, but in the meanwhile perhaps he would like to comment on his post from 20th July which given my belief that a placing was coming I just had to preserve - after much rambling about imminent deals and few shares in free float (but obviously there are a few more as of today's announcement!) (s)he says "As regards the fearmongering regarding a summer placing - pure fantasy by a few posters who live in an alternative reality. Val had £1.55m going into January oplus Inaphaea and are being paid cash for ongoing 401 work. Any SPV announcement (or other good news) will put the SP into 'warrant' territory and top up the coffers with anything up to a further £3m+."

If you are new to the world of AIM, just look at that comment and then look at what has actually happened - don't get sucked in by people like PM2022 and uncanny who are at best dreamers and at worst deliberately deceptive. It's worth noting all the grief they gave Porky9 and a few others in the run up to every placing and seeing the volume of venom directed at what were simply fact-based reasonable predictions. The share price at the time of that post was 0.65p, so if you'd been taken in by it and sunk 5 grand into Val on the promise of imminent assured gains, your 5 grand would currently be worth about 2300.

If they consolidate at the habitual rate it will drop to about 20p. Read the RNSs, read between the lines, and work out who you can trust and whose voice goes muffled when they sit down.

On the other hand, mamaging to get a placing away at that price must qualify the bod for a nice fat bonus.

Stand by for the sales pitch from certain quarters - 'bargain of the century, about to lift off....'

Sub 0.20 looks unavoidable if it takes place at all.

We'll get a better idea when it opens tomorrow and we see what the sp does then, but an absence of malicious crowing and pompous 'somebody knows something' is always reassuring.

Very unfortunate and disappointing for the patients hoping for any treatment on the Evaxion trial. It makes the progressive and structured growth of Scancell's trials look very promising.

Can you imagine the comments here from certain quarters if Scancell had announced a 75 patient trial which then reduced to 16?

What's quite disturbing is to see entries by someone who is sufficiently obsessed as to dig up and repost entries by a different poster from some three and a half years ago. Do you have posts of your own from just before any or all of the previous placings in VAL telling everyone how a) they won't happen, b) how well the company is run, and c) how a massive rerate is imminent? Followed by post-placing posts telling everyone how the placing was actually a really good thing because it was fully subscribed and is necessary to put the company in a stronger position to stave off a low ball offer during the advanced negotiations which will result in a massive rerate any day now...

Have a look back - I'm sure you'll find plenty. Then lay them against a graph of the share price.....
