The SFO can go hang. Dancing to a Yanqui tune. Far more scandal re the way the Yanquis treat BAE re security issues re our own developed technology. We hear these things in and around BAE 'ports' like Preston (Warton). I have mates who work at BAE here. Funny that we have similar issues re spare parts for AMERICAN made Mastiffs for our lads in Afghanistan. (Hear radio 4 'File on Four'.) Ally? No, we are a poodle. American ''Special relationship'' = joke! BAE's a good prospect but needs a long spoon to sup with the devil across the water. Especially need a government with balls (Not Ed Balls) to back it up. I hope soon.

'Ascending' to EuroNext is a good thing. With it comes 'respectability', it becomes 'Samurai' as it were, whereas on AIM it was merely 'Ronin'. AIM is a cheap listing along with thieves and vagabonds and shares that go bust in the night. Excuse my metaphors. As Crayz says it'll be selectable by institutional funds for their portfolios etc. Main reason I bought it was because it was listing on EuroNext. Only disadvantage really (to me) is it became slightly less liquid as before I could trade it online. Now I have to ring (H-L in my case) to trade it. Thats my pennysworth anyhow. Congratulations on choosing such a good share and you a newby too!

Oh I shan't complain, it seems to have the zeitgeist right now and that'll be good enough for me (Not being a Phd. or similarly gifted person).

its the hope... (that destroys you) as John Cleese says in 'Clockwise'. Boring is the new interesting. GSK and SL. the new growth shares. The economy has been crashed by the blind incompetent imbecile who put himself at the controls of this once smart efficient train. I would truly love to emulate the hedgehog who is hibernating in my woodpile out there right now, instead only to emerge in around 20 years. If only our poor children knew what our generation has lumbered them with. Perhaps better they do not. Lucozade aids recovery but will take a bit more than that I reckon. The current share FT/DOW indices are in denial right now, they will reflect reality some time or another, and the post AngloSaxon age will begin...

the 10% is beyond me right now. I see no 'revolutionary' news. Any have a clue?

You're welcome Sir. One never knows enough many claim otherwise! Although I would pick a sector you are happy with, or even select ed shares within a range of sectors. Moneyweek mostly recommends sectors and then suggests plays within those sectors. Some hairy some less so. Pharmaceuticals are being recommended by many as having been missed by the recent 'dash to trash'. This is also my thinking and why I am here. Pls beware AIM shares (often 'penny' shares) as you can really crash and burn with those especially in the credit crunch. People look down on dividends as 'boring' but in my book boring is good! Live long!

The 'extreme rise' of this share was due to conversion from AIM to EuroNext. It looked really good to casual visitors. I had 5000GBP worth in here and had I benefitted in the way reported (350% was it?) I'd be a very happy chap. In reality it is up around 2% from 4th to 6th Oct approx. I believe it to be a good share which is why I'm here. It does not pay a dividend yet. A lot of apparent 'multi-bagger' reports on here are not what they seem! So I would'nt feel bad about missing out you have'nt! Also I would'nt believe anyone recommending shares on any bulletin board especially here. www.iii.uk is better than LSE. LSE is mostly winge-ers. rampers, derampers and saddoes (nowhere else to go and refuse to get a life). Pls do not get sucked in and invest safely if you are a newbie. Biotech is especially dodgy, I believe this share is good as is BGC and RENE. But then I could just be a ramper! Read Moneyweek, its cheap, tends to bearishness and can be read by the general reader in around 2 hours.

Bought these on floatation and got freebies as had a With Profits fund (Don't buy one!) with them. Not exactly lit up my portfolio over the years, but it may benefit when the Tories come, as there may be more emphasis on investing for your own future. Take the shares and then forget about them for a few years. I'm not a ramper or a Quaker! P1lgrim: Are you sure you cannot still get your F+C shares?

Aye, got involved with this outfit with my purchase of Tony Blairs Stakeholder pension and got the shares free from the SL float. It's the only good thing Mr. BLiar ever did for me (nil for my country sadly). Generally quite pleased with the outfit over these past ten years. Returns have been good on the pension, the shares have been up and down but safe enough as is the divi. Generally recommend them to all who want a reasonably defensive outfit which seems to take sensible steps. No irrational rampers to be found on this board.

Heard from h-l UK the game is over boys.

Also learned from the Alizyme debacle never to pay good money for ''share tips'' like those generated by Fleet Street Publications. Often inserted as flyers into Moneyweek mag. In my house straight into the recycle bin. They tipped this one as ''a good heathcare play'' - SURE!!! Right down the toilet. You pay 300GBP per year for that advice. Moneyweeks quite good. Regards AIM share tipping as 'ones for the brave'. Generally recommends less stockpicking sharp shooting as it were, and more sector swapping. i.e. choose best of sector and stick. As 'rising tides tend to raise all boats'. Reasonable strategies for preserving your capital. You can't believe recommendations in the Biotech sector, its easier to back horses, as least the geegees are honest.

I've been an occasional reader of this board for over a year now. It seems to be populated by hopeless optimists in an endless self sustaining circle. Even the Fleet Street Letter baled out at 29p (Renzapride collapse). You guys appear to be obsessed by extracting every last ounce of pain from this terminally ill stock. Fear and greed? It's really all about hope and despair. It's the hope that's dangerous, clinging onto every last little straw, despair is fair enough and comes around eventually, one can handle that. Selling out now will not render much cash at this stage I know, but it will enable you to quit, move on and get a life! You have been and continue to be suckered by these fellas. The chances of success were never high. Obtaining info was like extracting teeth, it should have given us a clue. The company that cashes in on the drugs to ameliorate these diseases will be in the US. The Alizyme directors will have most of their nest egg elsewhere by now, I'll bet, and will remain well remunerated by last years hopeless optimism and the talking up of what would, if the drugs had been any good, a 12 to 18 GBP share by now. Move on guys, I will, (everyone else has). I recommend these movies to watch which explains the paradigm you have suffered through here: 'Springtime for Hitler' (Zero Mostel) - smelling a rat and quiting when you do, 'Clockwise' (John Cleese), expains hope and despair better than I can, and 'The Wickerman', what I'd like to do to the CEO! Adios
