well said keith.my sentiments exactly.very glad you have found Rosie.please give her my regards.

on a serious note i actually found heimdals summary very helpful as a reminder of the various issues and hopefully opportunities which await over the next couple of years.whether any of them come to fruition in a way which positively impacts the s/p is anyone's guess but i'm trying to remain optimistic despite the dire s/p performance

well formulated response imo from you having a laugh

let us hope so!lol

do i detect a note of cynicism keith? and who is this Rosie and why are you looking for her?

agreed wayneb

agreed chrishutch.obviousl the tec has to be sorted but if they can show that the demand is there (which is very much what has seemed to be missing in the past) then i think we are on to a winner

agreed cureboy.the process will take some time and inevitably some will sell through impatience or a desire to invest elsewhere so not surprised by a pullback in s/p.for me the update was as good as could be expected and underpins the next stage which hopefully will be news in due course of a formal offer.

well i cannot argue with that but will be interesting to see what happens tomorrow.

don't want to get carried away but there is almost palpable momentum building!

yes it really does seem to be a tremendous marketing opportunity!imo

agreed shrewdeds!

on very quick scan looks very positive

agreed gazulster.the momentum is building and its progress looks inevitable.gla

just seen closing s/p which is lower than when posted earlier.agree its overdone.we didn't experience(so far as i can remember)any uplift on the yooya news which i assumed was because people were waiting to see if it went through and also because of the potential dilution.so whilst its not good news that we are not at this point getting any news investors we are not really any worse off than before the proposal and at least mellon has been prepared to put a bit more money not regent.

morning bignose.thanks for the posts today.its a nice change to read something positive after rather dispiriting news last week.very well done for finding this out.agree that as events start to pull together over next few months we should start to see improvement in s/p.todays fall is as usual on very low volume and against very negative global market background so plenty of scope for improvement on any good news

continuation from last post .apologies for poor spelling etc i pressed post by accident before id finshed.carrying on to say should be perfectly achievable if we can get decent marketing and decent professional recognition.the difficult questions are the time scale and the finance to get to FDA approval.this is where,imo,its key that we get another source of revenue and other investors in the interim.hence my disappointment at the yooya debacle so I'm hoping for positive news re the exciting chinese opportunity but mainly as a means of getting some revenue to keep fortacin going to FDA approval however long that takes.personally no intention of selling until we do get it.

bothwell my personal view is that is perfectly possible to get back to 0.60 HKD and indeed above.our current m/c is very low.if we can get FDA approval then imo even at 0.60HKD we would have a very small M?C for company with an EMA and FDA approved product (hopefully also indue course formal approval in china as well)whilst we may no longer be looking at a money fountain due to reluctance on the part of potential users to seek help ,which reluctance has been underestimated by regent,we need to focus on the potential from the totality of worldwide sales which we can generate once we have approval in use and china and hopefully other areas.we don't need huge volumes of sales to justify a significantly highervM?C than at present,just solid world wide sales which given the potential number of users worldwide (even if significantly discounted by reactance/embarrasment issues etc)

agree with the bignose.from what little research i did at the time i didn't get the impression that costanzo was a yes man either which was why i was quite optimistic about the proposal.oh well looks like its back to the drawing board for the time being!

i suspect there is a danger in holding on to the coat tails of serial entrepreneurs.as you say bignose i don't think mellons record in recent times is that impressive (whether Juvenescence will be different only time will tell) i was badly burned in a luke johnson enterprise many years ago(belgo, the mussels and frites restaurants which he took private) so normally avoid them, but like you i found the fortacin case compelling.let us hope that if the exciting chinese opportunity(lol) comes to fruition it brings with it fresh blood to the board.doesnt look like its going to be abony and associates though now.

i agree that the series of RNSs from L&G have not helped sentiment but the reductions are tiny,so I'm not personally worried by them.there is a suggested explanation on ADVFN but I've no idea whether it is correct.anyway as you suggest its next week now that matters so just got to wait for update.gla
