Well, from what i can see, only when i started to look today, the other major one is ventura, which i promptly bought some shares in as everyone telling me interferon widely available worldwide so i am presuming someone else might fathom how to stick it into the alternate nebuliser - not that ventura looks as if it is going anywhere on this but just decided to gamble on off chance. If anyone else knows anything, that might be helpful to all of us.

I still cant see how philips can go from 20000 units to eg 1bn units overnight however big the company. But i reckon Philips must also be worth a punt / gamble

If you go to investing.com (which has great free technical data incidentally) then you can see circa 5pm they say they sold 500,000...? I am just trying to ascertain if that should be queried but i cant see why they would report it wrong - so i am assuming it will start lower. Thats not to be a troll or deramp - just a statement of trying to work out whats going on given i have a lot of them. Any helpful comments - like confirmation or not - its a publically available website - Then would be helpful. Thanks

Actually i said they owned 6.4% last wed. Correct. Someone then posted helpfully, that they had sold a further 4 % on friday and probably the rest on monday. Please try and be helpful rather than just critical as whats the point in being critical? I dont need to trade to trade today - i have held for 5 years ave 17p. Well into 6 figs. I only perked up when it started to move thats all - i ignored it in my isa for years along with a load of other woodford pharma companies. So no need to be critical. We are all trying to work out what to do.

I dont see how long it takes as an issue or at least not a very big one. Having run a business and knowing how hard it is to scale up i do see going from being able to produce 20,000 to a bn nebuliser things a massive issue. Presumably this needs new production line, staff, machinery bla bla bla and that it seems to me at least will take longer to accomplish than a phase 3 trial, which on coronavirus must be able to be quite quick given that the average time to death is 4 weeks.... its not like we have to wait years to see if more survived than died is it?

Hi, can anyone confirm to me what i am seeing on investing.com which is a 500,000 sale going through after the mkt closed at 5pm... can anyone confirm? Thank you

why did the board of GRL sell so much couple of months ago? CAnt get head round it.

newbie jolly lucky, like the rest of us... i keep reminding myself that i'm pretty useless - easy to start to think you know what you are doing... well done you, go celebrate):

precisely... sorry... lateral logic... if they rush through a phase 3 trial of a vaccine which takes longer to find out if it works or not, then why not a nebuliser as within 28 days youd know who survived or died... kind of lateral logic... sorry!

brilliant thank you...

sorry..another ?... how ,any doses are there per patient? Is it like asthma drugs and you quirt like 5 times a day or something? IS a few hundred 000 = to 50,000 patients or ??? Any ideas?

i kind of understood that the gov are conducting phase 3 trial in india and brazil on vaccine so why not this? Am i wrong? It doesnt take very long to see if it works on those critically ill as they die otherwise? So its not like you have to wait 20 years for breast cancer or something is it?

Philips share price very interesting and even more so compared to their results... which were published 20 july...
next stupid question: anyone know how much Synairgen can supply? eg 100,000 doses per month? Does this then need eg 25000 masks? Anyone know ratio of mask to puffs?? thanks.

thank you

hi...stupid question...but does anyone know who supplies the thing it comes in? ie i am presuming the mask thing (!! - sorry forgot what to call it) - where does that come from? Is it in or out of UK? Who is making it? Is it another drug co?

thanks for this...

i dont wish this... for the profit, tax and benefit to go to USA, to the sad detriment of our NHS and those suffering here...i dont need the dosh that much.

i am not at all knowledgeable about this company but i ran a major data analytics company for many years which i sold a while back so during lock down have got a bit bored and started building models, and analysing the covid data to send to a pal who is a cancer surgeon at Imperial and been lobbying gov actively since feb. So i know more about covid than Synairgen. Just happen to have bought a load back in 2015/17 on a punt. So i am just piecing together as i would when i sold the data company to the plc, what the numbers might look like as an investment case vs expenditure required. I'll share if i get anywhere. But at the moment i think this will drift without better data which i am sure they must be working on round the clock to get, as sample size small, too small for anything other than lets put some more dosh in and scale up as might be something in this. Trying to piece who this would be given to - the COPD patients, whole population etc. to work out the population versus the ability to produce at the moment. If anyone got anything to help, that would be great. I'll look at it. However, having background in analytics helps you not panic to a certain degree as one std dev from the mean price on this (you can draw a bollinger band on any chart), will show you that the fluctuation around the norm is high and the price has not been outside that yet since monday. On Monday it broke 3 std devs - i dont like that and normally sell when things go too far above its bollinger bands but now its back within them and i prefer that. Bit like Man U getting a champions league spot really... 2 steps forward, 1 back, could score 5 or 1 depending if greenwood playing his play station or not but actually anything between 2 and 5 would be normal and not too much to worry about. 5 is an outlier - not so keen on them and 1 is bottom of normal and dont like them either. Synairgen averages are just like that. Wide spread between 170 and 195 - either would be 'normal' in simple maths terms.

years ago i was a nut trader... we were always told to watch the first 30 minutes of trading. If the second 15 was lower than the first 15, the day would end down; if higher the day would end up. Works about the same % as the drug - around 75% of the time... dont know if this helps anyone other than me but i guess it might. Means you can get on and do other stuff...

So if you'd invested 20k and were up 500 then you;'d still stay in? Clearly the gamble is now different IMHO.
