The latest Investing Matters Podcast with Jean Roche, Co-Manager of Schroder UK Mid Cap Investment Trust has just been released. Listen here.
So why is Opti's share pricestill moribund and refusing to rise? (Not your fault I know)
This jam tomorrow and wait until the end of the year is becoming a bit tiresome......I remember last year being full of hope and 'Opti...misim' ( think I have just coined new word there.....could describe Elrico).
All the talk then was wait until Christmas and we will see the expected big earnings figures roll in that will push the share price back up.
One year on and we are playing the same tune.....We wish you a merry Christmas!
David, you would need to be real optimist to think you could possibly purchase DVRG shares in June next year at a lower price than they are right now.
The chances of you buying at the bottom of the share price swing is virtually zero.
Today's purchase by GB should be viewed as a positive unless you are a conspiracy theorist who thinks he is try to con the market.
Maybe you should cost average your purchases over a period of time just case the share price goes against you, but I think we are pretty close to a support level which will hopefully bring in. A few more bottom feeders.
I can only hope that you are looking to invest a huge amount in DVRG as you are teasing us all with this massive decision. ;o)
David I wish you the very best of good fortune whatever you decide to do, and good luck to the rest of us who have already made our personal commitment and put our money where our mouths are......for me it is a pretty substantial amount especially as I had also owned Modern Water!
I have no regrets despite the recent shenanigans by TW (and now it seems Elrico......I do note that both Elrico and TW are cheerleaders for Optibiotix.....but I'm sure they don't work in concert...do they?)

According to my Barclays account......love it!
Why can't these big top of the tree companies get it right when it comes to consolidations. My whole portfolio is totally messed up this morning as in valuations thanks to my massive gains in BRSD.....what a pity it isn't for real.
This time next year Rodney we will both be millionaires!
;o)
Managed to navigate my way here and add Brandshield to my portfolio, hopefully onwards and upwards from here on in.

We have no visibility of our investment now, whether it be TSI or Brandshield as we are now supposed to be trading under.
I have the same issue with my Hargreaves Lansdown and my Barclays accounts, neither of them are showing a value and neither will show a Brandshield ticker!
It really is a bit of a mess!
I understand we are going to be trading under a new ticker of Brandshield from today. I am struggling to find it and also racking my brains trying to remember how to add a new name to my portfolio.
Why does that t**t need to stick his oar in here....he is like a virus causing trouble everywhere he decides to vent his caustic spleen.
He is also happy to ramp his own punts like Opti, even though anyone who invested on his advice are nursing hefty losses.
Super fantastic RNS!
I really hope Gerard and his team and partners get the sort of national or international coverage this story deserves. I hope they are doing the full press junket and getting the word out there.
My original investment in Integumen was based on the fantastic Labskin story and the difference it was going to make to reduce animal testing and the potential size of the the beauty industry.
This announcement blows the doors off and opens us up to pharmaceutical industry at time when the whole world is desperately looking for answers and a way forward to defeat this god awful virus.
This is a big step forward for everyone.

The price of MWG is irrelevant now as the important thing now is the price of Deepverge.
You are going to get one for ten....glad to see Deepverge ticking back in an upwards direction once again :o)
What do base this comment on.....do you have relevant some knowledge of this subject?
Are there any other stockbroker platforms that have the same issue?
I called Barclays to ask what was happening and I was told that existing clients who held TSI would be allowed to sell the stock but would not be able to purchase.
I asked why and the girl told me this sometimes happens with particular stocks for different reasons, but she couldn't tell me what the reason was in this instance.
I asked if there was any suggestion of anything improper happening within the company that made Barclays go down this route, she said no, but sometimes there may be reasons like late filling of accounts or other non specific things that trigger this scenario.
I'm afraid I am non the wiser after speaking to Barclays, that's why I am curious to know if any other shareholders are in same position who do not use Barclays.
There are many shareholders who will have paid well in excess of 30p but still have to stomach the losses, the board of directors cannot bring their average down. They will still be underwater when the share price gets back to 30p when the employees can trigger their options.
I have been a big supporter of all that DVRG have been doing to benefit the company, but looking after the people who already get first bite of the cherry at ring fenced prices not available to the rest of the investors who have already spent real money and are nursing real losses leaves a slightly sour taste in the mouth.
Anyway I do appreciate and marvel the fantastic work you and your team have been putting in in the last 18 months and more so during this awful pandemic. I hope we smash our through he 30p and upwards towards the 70p that some unfortunate people paid on that fateful day of the big announcements.
Once we get back up there everyone will be smiling and we will calling for a knighthood for the boss!
Good luck to everyone.
I'm fairly confident that we are only a whisker away from getting some lucrative deals with the cruise industry, just as soon as our phase 3 trials have been completed and validated.
This is assuming the trials are successful and do the job they have been designed to do, I have no reason to believe that the science we are using will not work.
We are uniquely placed to offer a complete solution for the cruise industry especially as we can test people and poo using our own completely integrated package.
We already have relationships with the industry thanks to our existing equipment that has been installed in some ships.( I'm pretty sure there has been reference made to this in the past).
I feel it is only a matter of time before we see a raft (scuse pun) of announcements and as soon as we secure one of the big players, the rest will be jumping on the life raft we have provided.

A lot of the posts today are heartfelt and understandably slightly downbeat....but still there is still an overriding optimism for the future success of DVRG.
This has been a real rollercoaster in the last 6 months and we are not out of the woods yet.
I for one am still holding and have no intention of selling anything just now.
I have my consolidated Modern Water shares and my DVRG shares that will in the fullness of time reward me and everyone else who has kept the faith.
I also applaud @GBrandon for his sterling efforts in building a super successful company.
This hasn't just happened, they have been having these issues for a long time and for whatever reason they do not seem to have the nous or experience to resolve tech issues.
I think I would be asking some difficult questions of my web design team long before now!
Hey Cipro, I explained last night why the LSE chat rooms are offline. It is because they are causing technical issues with the trading platform and level 2 access.
So the solution is.......the LSE technical team shut down ALL of the chat rooms during trading hours....a really elegant smart move.....NOT!
I think they need to get it sorted ASAP, if they do not want to trash what has been a pretty useful bulletin board.
Yet again another day's discussion board has been trashed due the ongoing issues with the tech.
I hope LSE get it sorted soon before we all start looking for alternative chat rooms.
The constant failing of the chat room is getting really frustrating, especially first thing in the morning when the markets are opening up and you want to get a feel for what is happening.
I have contacted the help desk twice in the last week to voice my concerns about the increasing frequency of the facility being taken down.
I sent another message today and highlighted the fact that people will end up voting with their feet if the chat room continues in the same vein. I also said it would be useful if the could give a reason on the announcement banner rather than just saying the chat room is unavailable.
I got a message back telling me that they had taken the chat room down as it was affecting level 2 access and trading systems.
Let's hope they get is sorted soon otherwise it will be time to move to another platform.
What a cr@p day this has turned out to be on the market......mind you if we have a working vaccine that can end the misery of coronavirus I will happily take the hit.
My investment here was based on what the artificial skin side of the company was going to do for humanity, everything that came after that was just a bonus.
GLA
Hi Gerard, thanks for your positive reply and offer to help.
I have just been back into my Barclays account and the new corporate action is already in there, so that's me now sorted and I have voted to accept the offer.
Congratulations on your success of merging both companies.....onwards and upwards :o)
GLA
Gerard, it appears I have made a bit of a screwup with my corporate action instruction on the Barclays website.
I had thought that I had elected to accept the offer on both my share dealing account and my ISA account. When I saw your tweet this morning reminding people to make sure they had voted before the closing date, I decided to double check that I had voted online.
But it turns out that my ISA holding of 1m shares I had voted to reject the offer. I have no idea why, other than fat fingers at my end of the keyboard! I telephoned Barclays this morning before the offer had been declared and asked if Barclays could reverse my decision for me....they came back and told me because it had been done using the Crest system, the 30th Oct was the cutoff date and my vote couldn't be changed.
In light of the 2 week extension you announced today, do you think I will be able to reverse my vote now and accept the offer? Does this give people a second chance?
