not sure if its the last but if not it must be close.

bignose let us hope it is the latter! best wishes.

up a bit today and yesterday .not suggesting it signifies anything as still very low but just commenting.

agree with that completely Skyesthe limit.as I've posted before there were imo a lot of very unrealistic expectations regarding the FSP timescale.i always expected it to take at least 6 months and now expect it to conclude with a recommended offer by the middle of febuary. i do not intend to try and predict the figure but it will be reflective of the lengthy and not doubt detailed and exacting negotiations which have been taking place .

which includes all of the 14/15 opening position declarants (with the exception of L&G who seem t o have been dancing to their own unique drumbeat) none of whom have sold any shares at all and some of whom will certainly have been contributing to the discussions regarding value etc as part of the FSP

agree with that cominhinnett. as a former investor just keeping an eye things out of interest i found todays RNS very interesting and encouraging.gla

exactly Jeppers.important to read the RNS in its entirety otherwise you get completely the wrong impression.

interesting that we have had an RNS today about historic events in may 2019.probably just an oversight,but i suppose it could just be a tidying up of records getting house in order prior to something else happening.probably not but just speculating.

my guess is that they are not required to report the second sale (if indeed it was theirs) as the first sale took them below 1%.just a guess but absence of 2nd TR1 might suggest this.

yes.more good news!

dougie having recovered from my shock of seeing the words "Bod" and " vastly experienced" in the same sentence I can give you and others some new information,although not in relation to the FDA progress.,as to which i agree with bignose that that will probably have to wait for the interims.

however as regards the Rx to OTC EMA application i undertand the EMA have provided recordati with a list of questions,to which they have a month to respond (apparently this can be extended).regent believe it should be possible to address the concerns (sic) raised.apparently if recordati respond by the 23rd jan the process restarts and will conclude by the 27th march either with additional questions or approval.apparently in most cases the EMA approval is all that is required to commence OTC,though there may be additional requirements in some regions.
it should be borne in mind the although the above describes the procedural timetable it will i imagine be up to recordati to decide whether or not to carry our its own market research once it knows that approval is a possibility to see if the OTC route is likely to be more financially attractive than Rx before it actually decides what to do.i understand it wished to wait and see if approval was likely to be possible in principle before committing to the expense of market research etc.so i suspect it my be some considerable time before we have an outcome here even if approval is given in principle.please note the last observations are my own and are not based on any recent comments by regent which has only given me the timescale information set out in the post up to the words "in some regions" whilst the FDA developments are clearly critical in the long term i personally think the Rx/OTC application is critical in the sense of determining whether recordati is going to take any serious further interest in promoting fortacin in its regions as the progress in the Rx format seems distinctly underwhelming so far as we are aware.

interesting to see the two large trades on Friday. £215000 of shares traded in 10 seconds.late reported trades, but indicated as sells, which i suspect they were.late reported trades are ,i believe,normally an hour late but not certain and i expect lots of ways available to bend the rules,but even so i don't really see how they could be buys when looking at the prices during the day etc.it will be interesting to see what TR1s we get on monday (trades requiring reporting are supposed to be reported by 3.30 the next trading day and this principle does appear to be being observed so should hear something tomorrow).very interested to see if we get news of II increasing. im assuming its L&G reducing so expect TR1 from them.we must be close to the point where they will no longer have to disclose sales(below 1%) but they will have a few more days to go at this rate.im expecting to hear the outcome of the FSP during the second week in febuary, based upon the 6 weeks plus final stage process referred to in the last statement.just my opinion of course,but i am expecting a formal recommended offer although at what price i can only guess.

absolutely!

touche RBBe!

very interesting Markbruce.you can see the direction of travel very clearly.dont know how old you are but i can remember the first mobile phones, the size of a small house brick with a barely transparent thick plastic cover on the giant buttons.as vr popularity grows i expect the efforts to make the headsets more user friendly to redouble which has to be good for us.

ok thanks.agree with that and even if an actual dividend is still some way off, the talk of its reinstatement even as a possibility is very encouraging.personally i think they will be taken over before we get to that point but it's good to see in effect them being forward looking and demonstrating business as usual whilst the FSP continues.

yes possibly. i opened the RNS expecting to see L&G and was pleasantly surprised.

donbroco apologies if i am being a little dense but in what way does it make the current s/p look a little odd? genuine question as I'm not sure I'm catching your drift.

on a serious note bothwell thank you for posting that.what is frustrating is that the fact that another serious effort is being made to address the condition in a different way adds weight to the view that it is a condition, a treatment for which should create a real demand , but that just doesn't seem t o be happening so far as we know.

well at least it doesn't involve being wired up to a machine!picture the image,or rather please don't.
