Article on 22nd June - Fair value potential 250p

My only concern is if the insiders (Directors, employees) who know the company best are "calling the top" here? Perhaps due to inflationary pressures on discretionary spending...

Actually my timing hasn't been perfect as I held my 8p shares for too long (trying to run my winners) - should have sold in 30's rather than 20/22p.
However I did sell and take a profit, then re-entered and have been buying this year. However my average is around 14.8p, so should have waited for longer......
Will probably add a load more if this dips below 10p, but I expect Cathal will release news to push the share price back up from the current 11p doldrums.

Looks like you are talking to yourself on here - I'm a holder and am happy to hold. Significant contract wins and I'm expecting more to come plus Director buys.
I originally bought at 8p, sold at 20/22p and also picked up some free POLB shares which I sold, along with a few more POLB that I traded for a good profit. I've got 100% faith in Cathal and he's made me plenty of cash over the last 2+ years.
We all know the reality of AIM shares - long periods with no news and share prices drift on low volume and the market makers opening up the spread and causing fear as their bids drop. Also general malaise due to inflation etc.
Ironically ORPH is in the strongest position ever in terms of visible earnings, but the herd have stampeded away (probably taking big losses), when now is actually the best time to buy at daft low prices.
Presumably you are hanging around here giving off negative vibes as you see the opportunity and want to buy shares below 10p..

I'm hoping the Board have put together a whole series of RNS "good progress made" announcements (of which we have had 2 already this week) which will keep flowing.... This would help lift the share price back into the 20p's where it should be IMO
Currently the traders keep selling into each rise - hopefully they will realise this is pointless and self defeating..

The SCLP RNS is showing on my ADVFN level 2 screen, so majority of investors / traders will see the news

I guess they were just picking one of the small number of shares that actually rose yesterday, in the battered global markets...
Of course we know the reason for the "small" rise is that some people will use any good news to offload their shares at the moment, either because they need the cash for everyday expenses or because they are traders hoping to buy in again at a lower price.

SCLP got a brief paragraph in today's DM financial news (hard copy) - basically explaining reason for the small share price rise yesterday i.e. 1st patient in Modi 1 phase 1 trial.
Hopefully its on their radar to keep mentioning other RNS's and share price rises as they come along.

That's the most fun I've had in an afternoon since I had 6 pints of lager followed by chips & onion gravy and then jumped on the Pepsi max big one...

Hope next week is a calmer ride on this roller coaster, back upwards..

Its just the level 2 programme guessing if its a buy or sell ..
Over the mid way point (eg ask 13.0/ bid 12.5, mid point 12.75 ) it shows as blue, below as red; however we know that often you can buy closer to the ask price..

Someone keeps dumping 100k blocks, every time the bid is lifted slightly. This is followed almost instantaneously by another sizeable chunk. Hopefully they will be done soon....
Nothings changed here and people seem to have short memories bearing in mind the recent sizeable contract wins.
Just sentiment and general market sell off woes due to inflationary pressures.
I've bought on the way down and will add further, as price gets to daft levels.
I'm expecting Mo to buy very shortly, to put some support here.

The share price is being held down to shake out PIs shares at low prices. Low volume (800k so far) says that the funds are happy to sit on their stock at this level and wait to see how this plays out. Far more upside than downside at this level..

Investors Chronicle has a series on Cyber Security. The 2nd part was out on 7th June and states that they will cover smaller UK specialist Cyber security firms in the 3rd part. I'm expecting SWG to get at least a mention....

Interesting RNS just out - Cannacord Genuity (Vancouver) who previously held approx 10% stake in SOM, have now started to add again. Taking holding up from 4.98% to 5.74%.

Note they off loaded their 5% stake around 18 weeks ago when price was pushing 600p.
Must now be able to see value again at less than 400p...!!

Agree with you - Some must be daft dumping 100k blocks below 14p...
I'm expecting Director buys to be reported over the next 2 days - this should support price at or above current level.

Actually its not tanking - since the Belerion bid, the share price has been down as low as 130p and as high as 160p.
ATs are bouncing the price round each day so Funds can pick up cheap shares, sell them higher - then rinse and repeat each day....
You can see that in the many Fund RNSs, where they show the shares bought / sold each day in addition to any significant amounts they hold.
Its just a game, until a higher bidder comes in...

Hi Crafty - that's my point - sales of fashion, beauty products etc are actually up against the trend of retail sales being down....

Its not true according to the BBC today - see below taken from today's website:
"Total retail sales in May declined by 1.1% compared to May 2021.

That was a sharper slowdown than in April, when BRC figures showed a fall of 0.3% compared to April 2021.

Sales of clothing, footwear and accessories, including in fashion and beauty, rose, as people prepared for holidays and summer social occasions, including the Jubilee.

But consumers were not buying bigger ticket items, such as furniture and electronics, the BRC said, as it published its latest monthly data, which it collects from the UK's medium and larger retailers.

Does anyone understand why a fund would hold 1.20% interests in long derivatives and 1.20% in short derivatives??
How can they gain if a bid comes in OR if a bid doesn't materialise and share price slips back to 120p?
I really don't understand ...

Loads of these funds speak with forked tongues! When they say buy gold, they are selling and vice versa,
They are not on your side - their job is to liberate as much private investor cash as possible, and fill their own boots..
Ask the question, who benefits from any fund FUD advice????
