I bought this share because I find that the potential of that which they are trying to achieve to be so incredibly exciting.

If it truly and utterly works out, then maybe, just maybe, it will be possible to endow a Junior Research Fellowship at Oxford.

There is only another £1.4M to go.

Good luck all.

earlstone,
The first thing that you need to do is put, 'How to find a stockbroker in London' into Google and read that particular London Stock Exchange site.
Various London brokers have offices scattered around residential areas, why not just walk into one and say you need a broker and tell them what services you need.
If you are outside London then just widen your area of search, some say that there are some very good brokers in Birmingham and Manchester and Liverpool.
The whole point is building up a personal relationship with someone working in a decent-sized traditional stockbroking firm, preferably a partner who you can relate to as a person and that you feel is on your side.
It is actually simpler than you imagine, and since it is your own money you are dealing with, then relationship broking seems to me, at least, the way to go, that is if you can find the right person. All best wishes.

PS. interestingly every time I deal I automatically get an online contract note within seconds of the deal being done. I find it hard to understand why your guys are not showing trades. Why are these people short-staffed? Have they cut back too far?

There are so many complaints on London and South-East from people who are suddenly not allowed to deal following a Company announcement of some sort
People who use cut-price trading platforms get the service they pay for.
Since years I have been using proper bricks-and-mortar traditional brokers, they are quick, efficient and the prices they achieve typically are fractionally inside the declared market price, often with six figures after the point. The other upside is that I use the same broker or if he is on the phone, or away, then his fully qualified assistant. We meet every so often, thus there is a strong relationship. Further, the heads up on market chat and trends is totally invaluable particularly for someone like me with a lot of international stocks.
Taking into account all the unbelievably efficient back-office services with named direct contacts, I am sure that overall I am paying less thus I have a slight edge over the 'cheap' trading platforms.
Each to their own!

This evening has been a time to look through the contract notes for the last 20 years in order and see where I should have held on for longer and also to perhaps reinvest.
Bowleven was a surprise.
I sold my last 2500 BLVN @£2.26 in February 2007, having previously sold the other 2500 six days before @ £1.9525
It is hard to understand how the guys running this business have managed to get the share price down to just 5.75p per share. Amazing!

Lancebombadier,
Yes, I have been in this particular currie since the first week of January.
The upshot is that I am somewhat adrift.
If this trend continues for months and months then perhaps we need to be considering our relationship with our managers.
Temple Bar has recently brought in new managers in an attempt to revive matters, so far it has worked a charm.

At the moment they seem to be underweight in most things.
Maybe we need new managers.

Not very satisfactory.

aj242,
My average is also at 9p.
Good luck to us all!

Hi, flapabouttown,
Are you suggesting that I am Blackwell?
If you are, please do say how you arrived at this amusing revelation.
Many thanks,
Kind wishes,
storm.

DansTheMan,
Once we are all able to get over our fury, perhaps we can accept that our business is pretty much on the edge.
Perhaps you are a rich man and a £9500 potential loss is petty cash to you whose present interest appears to be somewhat remote from the idea that NFX really has a possibility of coming good.
We can all stand on the sidelines and call foul, but is this really the moment to do so?
Sorry, Sir, I need the money, thank goodness for Avacta and Stemcell.

A very good post, thank you.
One small point. Following all the turbulence that we have had to go through over the last 12 to 18 months, do we now wish to stir up a whole lot more by getting the FCA involved? I just think that the distraction this would cause could easily tip the business over the edge. The main thing is that we now have some new funding to try to advance the business and this is what we should be concentrating on, that is if we want to have any hope whatsoever in getting our money back. Once the business is secured then the matter can, if necessary, be revisited.

Could not sleep, awoke at 3.40, and finally got up an hour later. Now yawning, it is a matter of staying awake until the opening, more coffee might do it. Good luck all.

It is 26 days since your posting, it is as if we are living in a different world, that is vis-a-vis with today's share price!
Good luck all.

Thank you crumbs.

Thank you moonparty.

Taverham,
Thanks.
Really I am not a defeatist, after all, I am a shareholder.
All I am trying to convey is that there is a pretty long road ahead of us and that others who are also looking for the same solution have been at it somewhat longer than us.
I am just trying to be a little bit realistic and suggesting that perhaps the s.p. maybe a little too overdone for where we are at.

Thanks for posting this article.
The 'take' from this is that there are others who appear to be far ahead of us in development terms.
Also, it is going to be quite a long wait before we find out whether or not our candidate vaccine is going to be good enough for a manufacturer to want to put it into production.
Quite a lot of unknowns here.
Even so, Scancell will learn a lot from this and the knowledge gained will surely be of great use in the development of other medications.

snakebite08,
Thanks.
You ask a good question, I have been wondering the same.
There is a lot to be said for not ruining a good position, there again I think that we have the finals on March 1st and they should be good.
Now that they have raised over $1Billion much depends upon just where the business goes from here.
Surely there must be something out there that Zoom would like to buy, or is it more the case that someone will try to buy Zoom?
Whatever happens, Zoom will not stand still.

The lesson of today is to read the 'Sundays' and the 'Saturdays', also make sure you are up and running early on a Monday morning.
I managed to sell enough to reduce my overall share buying price to just over 4p, having paid over 17p last month.
Hopefully, they will fall back to 17 again.

Having read the 'in-depth' link that came with this interview, I am now expecting a cash call.
The difficulty is that I am not sure that it is the moment to plough new funds into this business, even though the shares are as cheap as chips.
If they do a near-term general fundraising it will probably be at tuppence.
There is no doubt that Dr. Anne interviews well.

Are there no longer any other ZOOM stockholders on this site or has everyone cashed in their chips?
