Member Info for The.Italian

yes apologies to you bignose and dougie.i have indeed finally cracked under the pressure of waiting for news here.actually it was the shock this morning of discovering i have an investment which is actually going to make a profit(not regent obviously).it is such a novel phenomenon that all power of reason and perception deserted me.is this what has happened to jamie and the reason why we never hear any thing?more likely than the company being sold but if it has been they probably wouldn't announce that either! fed up italian.sorry again I'm off.

morning bignose. nothing specific I'm afraid. there has not been a consistent pattern of issue so i don't think it's significant if we don't get one,as I'm sure the amortisation process will continue as before.i suppose subconciously i was commenting on the continued absence of any news which is becoming extreme.just a smidgeon of positive news would be welcome.heres hoping!

well agree with that.i felt this was a particlarly serious instance with potential to impact very seriously on the s/p.i had been looking on the patent search site earlier and although i found various patent entries which looked relevant i don't have any scientific knowledge so was not completely certain.if no one had rebutted the claims i was going to contact fum's pr dept to inform them of the claims but thankfully you and others have saved me the trouble.we all accept the usual incidences of ramping/deramping as an inevitable hazard of these boards but this was a particularly insidious and damaging one. glad its been called out.

thanks to those posting sensible factual posts to counter what seems to be a pernicious and concerted attempt to sow doubt in holders minds by alledging that fum are claiming a patent which does not exist. the frequency and openess with which fum refer to the patent etc makes this suggestion fairly risible but its good to have it thoroughly quashed by certain posters. thanks again.

very pleased to see the TU getting such a positive reaction from the market today.i think this,coupled with the express wording of the RNS makes it very difficult to envisage a situation where we do not emerge with a recommended bid. i think the wording of the RNS makes it pretty clear that they intend to sell and not go it alone.the statement that the expect to be able to move forward promptly now following the update does i think make this pretty clear.,as does the reference to further inbound interest which they apparently intend to disregard in favour of reaching a prompt conclusion with one of the current parties engaged in the FSP.one would imagine however the such further interest will at least increase the competitiveness of the final stage so that we may find we are very pleasantly surprised at the end of the day.gla

agree bignose.no profit warning yet though.

i think bignose puts his finger on what is one of the two main issues here the first issue is that as he says everything the bod promises or indicates is likely to happen doesn't.most egregious example recently for me was the suggestion that an exciting cbd opportunity had been revealed during the yooya breakdown fiasco.on a charitable level this could be described perhaps as naively optomistic.on a more cynical level as disingenuous face saving.what compounds the offence is the complete lack of any update or statement that nothing has materialised after 8 or so months.i could go on but won't.the second problem is that recordati are having to explore a change in ema designation from RX to OCT. one can only assume that this is because they simply cannot sell fortacin in sufficient quantities as presently designated. whether they can get the change and whether it would help is open to conjecture. there are some potential positives,e.g. china and particularly FDA approval progress. the latter is some way off but i think it would have a possibly significant effect on the s/p if there is positive news. its always been talked of as the holy grail and even if that is naively optimistic conjecture it should be borne in mind that quite a modest level of interest by buyers can have a disproportionately positive effect on the s/p.updates due in march so we should hear something on several fronts but who knows.would i buy in now definitely not.would i sell now equally definitely not .not intended as advice as this is based entirely on my personal position and history here.good luck whatever you decide to do.

excellent keith.thank you.

no it hasn't.just go on to london stock exchange site for phd and they are there.

yes i think they have moved away from the idea of producing their own glasses.i think events moved on with O2 and gore so that that proposal is no longer deemed appropriate. tbh I'm quite glad about that ,as although it seemed an encouraging and perhaps exciting prospect i was always a bit uneasy as to how well it gelled with other producers (and after all EVRH is really a very small company (at the moment),so it might have been stretching itself too far and losing focus on its core offering.just my opinion of course.

not really much going on here.some small holders selling up before TU or for any one of a multiplicity of possible reasons.nothing to suggest imo that anything has gone wrong and i expect full confidentiality for the data room etc is still being maintained.

obviously we are not looking a full nasdaq listing here.its OTC trading but some very large entities also trade OTC in US(tencent,nestle) so i think the excitement is based on the view that its possibly indicative of the desire to stimulate or perhaps respond to expected interest in the US which might in time lead to full listing. you can take steps to get over the share value requirement by bundling shares into much larger individual shares (i cannot remember what they are usually called, something like ADRs) to produce a figure to meet the requirements.not suggesting thats currently possible here but it may be something for the future

do we know who is the market maker(or perhaps makers) for the US OTC trading? just wondered whether they might have a link to john gore's us interests.

they have picked up on the nasdaq link now over on ADVFN.

good question. there are instances where a nasdaq listing,if badly managed,can be quite negative as creating additional listing/admin expense.here i think the reason to see this as a potential strong positive move is that it would tie in very well with any link up to a US telco and also john gore's Us interests by creating interest in evr on the us market.i expect others can put this better though.

interesting trading into close.someone with DMA put 1m shares on the bid at 5.05p. at the close. not reading anything into it as these things happen all the time but tomorrow could be interesting

thank you petebo,much obliged.that is what i thought it meant, but didn't want to jump to conclusions.very interesting. US telco next?

apologies GEUK but I'm not clear as to the import of your post.perhaps you could kindly clarify thanks

agreed.lombard just increased again
