still pretty poor, little sign of action/change. ho hum.

if you look at the 'news' tab for WPCT on hargreaves lansdown website, it lists the NAV announcements. http://www.hl.co.uk/shares/shares-search-results/w/woodford-patient-capital-trust-ord-gbp0.01/share-news

thanks

sure, no probs. any thoughts re 19:28?

glancing at MINI vs WPCT, it looks like a couple of the more significant differences relate to (1) underlying asset focus; WPCT explicitly states, trying to target underpriced intellectual property, haven't seen MINI say that? and (2) the size/stage of asset to be included. MINI seems to say, most of its stakes will be trading on AIM, and(nearly?) all stakes will be quoted/trading on London markets. ..... whereas WPCT intends that 25% of the holdings will be in 'early stage' companies -- most of those will probably *not* actually be quoted on any public market yet, vs majority [tho' not all] of wpct's 'early growth' companies probably will be quoted. so if i wanted, i could buy almost all the stuff mini has on my own account from the markets, but 25% of WPCT is stuff i couldn't easily get directly. mini seems to have a substantial premium too, trading circa 7% premium to NAV according to HL.

hi ghia, how does the incentivisation and charging structure for min compare with wpct?

i still holding plenty here, & happy enough, but gosh this is still trading at a hefty premium to NAV, isn't it .. how sustainable is that? http://monevator.com/why-do-investment-trusts-trade-at-a-discount-or-a-premium/ the article is a few years old, which makes the reference to bolton's china trust both instructive and amusing.

the bad news is, they've solve it by accepting large annual payments from north korea in exchange for allowing acropolis to be used as a forward platform for nukes.

good news and bad news. the good news is, greek debt crisis resolved

? possibly time to enter soon-ish? ... but on the other hand, so many other stocks around now discounted to offer very good l/term divi prospects, does hss look that special? - think i will keep waiting.

when should we expect to hear about dividend levels?

sorry, woodford, not woodhead.

1) i suspect that wpct is rather weirdly being seen as a bit of a safe-ish haven for pi money with a lot of other stocks getting tanked by grexit fears. ..... possible that if/when greek issues resolved, if done so without absolute mayhem, some money might flow back into main market dividend paying growth oriented european stocks? 2) if/when woodhead has a heart attack or falls under the clapham omnibus, there will be a pretty big wobble here. unless he's got some biotech start-up to clone him already.

i've bought a few more, so am biased same way i think. some tough markets out there tho' at present. roll on a greek resolution, (preferably not involving putin annexing athens).

£1.8 million trade disclosed after hours ... so what's the opinion, price held down to enable buy, or price supressed while sell working through the day?

think that counts as a rather good day. have a good weekend all.

it's a very perky, popular enough 3 month graph, against an anxious market backdrop. i've no complaints.

but alas, i am too old and tired, so unable to resist the sandman's song any longer. a domani.

? why do you think that jewish people under hitler's germany did have history, but the greeks having ceded some authority to philip had no history? seems inconsistent. ... my ovaltine beckons temptingly, but i'm intrigued by your logic.
