Yay! Judge just ruled that court can have trumps tax records to proceed with criminal trial against Trump org.

you need to wash it down with a pomegranate.

c'mon zwartkops: we are all now dying of curiosity...??

can we get off this 'for sparkle' stuff now... lets get onto something else...pleeeeaaasssseee!

Tiptop - i think its truly irrelevent. When i sold my company to a plc, i had a short list of a couple i could sell to and one in particular so i waited till the ceo went on holiday, phoned the chairman that day, met the following day on a thursday, met again friday, was told he was watching rugby all weekend and not to interrupt him or the deal was off, did the deal in early hours of following wed. Took about a week i think for them to publish. European cup final this weekend so not being funny but if they are trying to get the german pharma company making the interferon on board they might be die hard Bayern supporters so might do as my former chairman did. Know this sounds daft but i think they'll do the rns whenever they've done the deal(s) / licensing agreements and that depends on the individuals they are dealing with. who knows? One might be sick; another might be on holiday; another might have to fly round the world to off-set the potential debt. So on a bilion quid deal with some degree of risk, you might do that deal with one or two banks but they might then sell on to more banks the following day round the world, to off-set risk and make a mark up. So depends if it goes private when this latter is more likely or public or licensing. Who knows? But i think day is irrelevent tbh.

if it helps anyone, when i invested in Synairgen, it was when Woodford published his portfolio in 2015. There was another stem cell lot - Reneuron - which i have also been in for 5 years. Dead as a dodo. and will remain dead until results of trial out 2021. They are into stem cells. Half of woodford come good for me. other half still looks terminal but i havent sold any and have averaged down... in the hope they come good like Synairgen... a few have so one lives in hope! I ran an analytic company before i sold it so i'm a Stats / AI geek. So when a couple of london teaching hospitals and a couple of others got rushed off their feet with covid, then i started to analyse / check their Phd results and papers statistically so they could crack on with virus work, so i am probably in quite a good place to pick up things. Ive written a load of algorithms that scour Scholar and various medical facilities round the world inc china, to filter what is the latest for them as they no longer have time and they ditch or keep as appropriate. Have to say, in my experience none of the docs i know have any time for the way it has been handled at all. I like reading all this stuff; that Octupus stuff earlier was interesting though just to see their portfolio split and what was included and not. The Swiss thing - well they have less infrastructure than Synairgen; do have good VC backer, no revenue; basing it on something discovered in 1970 (may be good or bad), and have next to no staff but currently valued now at 4x Synairgen and even the dodgy paper's conclusion was to go to a phase 2 / 3 trial which they hope to finalise by end Aug... so im a-wondering why the difference in valuation - clearly this now has more upside in comparison given the disparity in valuation and the 'niche-ness' of their product.

thanks Manifesto, much appreciated.
and Richthenewbie. Thanks.

Good find on Phlexglobal ... but we already knew they were going for regulatory approval....
I was quite interested though as Phlexglobal is owned by PE who invest throughout Europe so brings Synairgen onto their radar

You think this one is all there in his brain???!?

I was thinking time for Goodyear to move their HO to London
The really shocking thing is that millions are going to vote for this dreadful man

God, the white house sounds as hopeless as our lot... how can he not know about the plasma when we on this board knew about it a few hours ago. Hes meant to be on top of the virus - how can us lot here know about the plasma and no-one has briefed him. whats wrong with these people?!?

id get it checked out properly... we had this issue and it has taken 4 years to sort out and £000's... but our bricks were 150 years old and builder had used wrong mortar so bricks didnt breathe so we had to take out all the mortar and repoint the thing. right pain in neck. it was because the mortar was harder than the bricks so the bricks collected water and in the corners it was damp - and the effervesced bricks continued to effervesce until problem sorted. Then specialist steam cleaned the whole thing - had a fabulous bloke to do the latter if you are interested. Eventually got a heritage brickie in and he sorted it out in 6 weeks but cost a fortune - get a surveyor on case? But ours was 150 years old not new... so might be totally different but ours looked like yours to start with and got worse until some of the bricks started to blow. Might be OK if new but i'd get a decent surveyor on it.

Toptop... we are all novices as as soon as we think we have it cracked, something else goes wrong or right! It is very unusual to be good at buying and selling IMO... its like footie... you can kick with your left or your right foot normally - the lucky ones who dont know which foot is better tend to be superstars... most of the people on here get it wrong as many times as they get it right but we all think we are lucky on this one... take care, good luck, chill out and relax. If your blood pressure is rising to dangerous levels, its not worth it, go for a walk - me i just watch the footie every night - love this new format European stuff; hope they keep it.... we've been in for 6 months due to kidney transplant so football has kept me sane... keep meaning to write to Ole to thank him and all his players for turfing out to keep us entertained when some of them must be worried... fab back heel from Neymar last night - did you see it?? Well in stock market terms, thats just as rare so dont worry about being a novice...

has just bounced off its very long term resistance line (thank goodness)... in the last couple of hours... it has been dropping pretty dramatically - in fact so much that an american company buying in USD would have had the price of Synairgen rise by 5% since the data. So just gone in Synairgen favour if you are american.

TipTop: I will try and answer for you as i dont think you will get a sensible answer on this board otherwise as we re all die hard converts pretty much... and you might be worried judging from the question..
The very worst case is that the Covid trial results were found to be incorrect and the COPD trial fails. In that scenario we lose the lot and we collectively sue the directors for misrepresentation.
Given that this is unlikely, then you are left with what bounce do you put on covid - this is easy to see from the magic monday share price rise and what do you put on a COPD good trial result which they are expecting and which everyone on this board is waiting for in great expectation and which is probably why the institutions have started to buy. If one is bad and the other is good, then they probably balance out to what it is now. But no-one is expecting this at all.
So assuming all is ok which is what we all think, but that it all drags out for ages and people lose interest (as half the shares are owned by private individuals) then you are left to the downside being approx 163 IMHO so i hope this helps if you've bet the house on it. For those who can afford, just stay in as the probability is all in our favour here for the moment.

yeah, its a bummer the ri's only had 3% over the ii's... every time it goes up 10p, the ri's sell if it sticks for an hour and the ii's get what they want. Thats why i dont think it will get to multiple multiple unless they do licensing deals as the retail investors cant resist selling in enough numbers to keep the sp going up

just gone on trial in cambridge... looks interesting to me to go alongside Synairgen. KNow not a lot about it. Anyone in it?

IMO, and 50:50 chance of being right... there are few shares in circulation. 2 weeks ago 53% were owned by private investors like you or me and when the data came out, institutional investors wanted in on the act but there is limited supply of shares. Only a 3% swing takes it in favour of ii's. They got fed up with waiting to build which they wanted to do pre-news (on expectation it would then go higher so would lower their risk to buy now) but found they couldnt buy in sufficient quantities so gave an indicative range to the MM to get on with it. Once the ii's are in control of more than 50% they can use to leverage the board to do something - like pop someone on the board etc etc. OR someone trying to get up to 30% to mount bid. just my opinion. Cant think of any other reason other than seems a darn good product.
