Our resident dormers don't give up do they? https://youtu.be/pHGXwQeUk7M

Looks like the RNS this morning has come as a huge disappointment to the regular few who were all lined up to make a meal of last night's one. Delighted to see the trial approved, and I suspect more news to come in relation to it soon.

Don't worry crumbs, he's actually aiming big.

Wait for team damp to let things settle and then watch them start a candlelight vigil for CH, telling us how he was the true messiah for the company, where the other week he was the devil incarnate. All a bit predictable really.

From announcing the trial will take place to approval has taken just 5 weeks. In trial terms that's almost instantaneous.

Dormers have a habit of becoming unhinged and are transparent.

It's like a comedy rerun at times - the perennial line was 'they're going to run out of money' (always a possibility, granted) then it was 'they'll never get a placing away' (not forgetting all the authoritative posters who had "the inside track on forward selling" which never actually occurred), then the placing was never enough, then the board (usually RG) was inept/incompetent/unqualified, then each new board member was allowed about 6 weeks of praise as the right choice before their head was demanded on a plate, then it all gets forgotten that this same incompetent board who don't know how to do business have actually secured 50 odd million in funds from a global bio investment fund (ignoring Vulpes as well, with a proven track record and their own due diligence of course).
Any implications of the formation of Zachary are now forgotten too, and any permissions sought that take more than a fortnight are seen as a failure. The other week we also saw a pathetic effort to start fear that Redmile might be looking to get out in frustration at not having seen sufficient return on their investment. 11 months isn't long for them, but an eternity to a level 2 trainspotter.
So what are we left with? A buyout? - remember the push to convince everyone that 21p would be a good buyout price? All gone quiet at that price, but as you say RP, it is now around 50p but same 'marketing' strategy.
So really quite funny to see how little wiggle room the concerted dormers have, while still 'holding strong' with so many monotonous insecurities. Strange people...

Hey ho, looks like the old 'RG is the weakest link theme is being revamped in different form, possibly in the absence of 'they'll have to do a placing soon.'

Interesting to see Oxford tech vct3 say their company 'has become transformed into a very concentrated life sciences AIM VCT with substantial cash resources.' Is this a direction where they feel they are likely to make the best returns? Presumably it is...

For 'without' read 'with' in my last.

The man who invented predictive spelling died last week. His funfair is on sundial.

TF - if the UK is as bad as you seem to imply, why have you come back from Thailand to suffer such ignominy? Just asking.

Vulpes Redmile and Co are investors, not traders. An unfamiliar concept to some on this board.

I think that a shut down of the labs (cardboard or otherwise) would probably result in an RNS.

interesting to see how the conversations move on the board. Some pessimistic speculation about how many shares DE may have owned or sold or not sold has been worked to its natural conclusion without gaining any real traction, and now it moves on to delays in the South African approval process and the futility of any covid vaccine that isn't already backed by a major player. Still, nice to see some intermittent faces pop up together. I love a bit of tradtition.

Falsedawn - something in the back of my mind tells me it was a million shares and definitely at 7p. Whichever way it is, he's on a healthy profit so is welcome to take it should he so wish.

Basically a company he was no longer anything to do with had done things how he wouldn't have done. The way it came over seemed a bit childish.

I remember talking to RG on those lines a few years ago, and he rightly pointed out that if you can get to a to a tumour to inject it, then you can get to it to cut it out, so you really need something that can find the tumours that are too small for resection. Injecting is limited by size and accessibility.

K - 'When you're in a hole, stop digging.'

Well there's a first.

It was an interesting example of the posting style to put a link to an article with the strongest possible comment insinuating (transparently incorrectly) it is 'game over' for any CEPI involvement with Scancell, yet none of the much-trumpeted 'balance' to mention that CEPI have repeatedly retweeted an article with Scancell to the fore. This is tempered with a 'strong buy' rating, allowing a perfect opportunity for posting with wisdom after the event - 'I highlighted the article saying it was doomed/I always rated the prospects very highly.' That's 'balance' then is it?
Add to that the usual 'C7 only posts positive' - a look back over a very short period produces comments from C7 including 'Could well be a 150k ish sell to come'
'a few sells there at 22.16/7'
'....and BID falls to 21.5'.
Some folk need to use the filter settings more, or do a little more research before they try to convince anyone about being the personification of 'balance.'
Jus my thoughts for a Thursday morning.
