Looks like you were right nimrod, made a good recovery already. Previous director sells have dropped the price but seen a quick recovery.

If you haven't got confidence in the directors, I would question why you have invested in the company in the first place.

No one can tell where we are heading, but the trust has stood up very well relative to the market

Has fallen by more than 11% since the IPO. So relative performance of Wpct is actually rather good

As a starting point, you might like to check the portfolio of a fund manager you feel confident with.

May you should diversify your bio portfolio to an extent that makes you feel comfortable

You're saying he has a balanced portfolio........... And yours is not?

I don't agree with your theory that Woodford is relying on one big winner. From memory, I seem to recall him saying of his biotech stocks he has had many many successes and only one disaster.

As I said...... Good buying opportunity approaching

A buying opportunity approaching for the canny investor

Was relating to the inference that the share price was too low

Anyone's entitled to buy if they consider the price low. I bought myself recently near the low point.

Is a year or two, too long to wait? What's your normal time fame for a company to make good progress?

Am I correct to assume that you have now sold all you shares in this company?

Being shorted by a hedge fund who have made negative comments about the company. I think it likely that Neil Woodford will offer his opinion in the coming days.

Your opinion may well be valid, but it's also possible that the directors haven't got addition funds to buy more shares, or that they're content with the exposure they now have in this company.

Have made substantial purchases of shares this year, so they must still believe in this company!

Has a substantial holding in this company, much of it bought at a price far higher than the current level. That's good enough for me, I'm in this morning.

I agree, there would have been many short term holders buying in the hope of a quick profit. If it doesn't come they only have one solution, sell

Too many people treat this like a lottery ticket purchase, they want instant success. I always expected to have to wait some years for a potentially good result.
