Mattyboy 1965 you've only done what most people do, your not a clairvoyant or misty meg .your human like the rest of us here,if fum crash to 14p you wouldn't be saying that, it's all swings and round abouts with investing. If you look at all the sellers over the last few weeks, they might be saying the same thing.don't be hard on yourself,,,,,,,I really do know the feeling,,,,what if ,,,,,what if,,,,,,it's the stock market anything can happen.....15 years ago I invested �5000 in a we company and 30 minutes later I had �2000 profit and 30 minutes later the same we company went into liquidation, loosing me the lot,,,,,that was a long drive to work that day, and with futura I'm nearing a 100% profit, but it's not a profit until I sell, and I'm not selling as there's much more to come in my opinion,,,,,,,,,,GOOD LUCK investing ,,,,,,,,, GLA

Goldust88 your total potential profit of �69 is I'm sure a good genuine proper estimate, I always look on these figures as just estimations but we all need somewhere to start, but I do tend to look at what a companies valued at right now, and ask myself how much profit would it take to justify todays valuation, and only roughly I would say � 6/7 million profit , and I'm sure futura could do this easily , and that justifies and stabilizes the company, and gives it a good foundation, and any thing over this in profit will obviously And substantially increase our valuation way beyond the current �57m.......so on the balance of probability We will meet our foundation level ,and be profitable, and should substantially increase this profit and towards your well thought out and futuras estimates,,,,,,,,,futura really is just starting to motor on here, But just as in any company or investments there could always be a downside . And they are many,,, but Surly that's the nature and risks of biotech investments,,,,,massive downsides and multibaging massive upside rewards, I reckon we're on a winner here with futura,,,and probably in my view one of the Less riskier biotech gambles, by virtue of using safe established medications transferred through the skin with our proven derma system ,,,,,,,,, and useing all the safety data generated by the very long and established medications we use........it genuinely looks exciting as JB says, and I have to agree with that observation ,,,, AIMHO,,,,,,,,,GLA

Thank you golddust 88 for all that,,,,,,, I was checking for a while and the MM wouldn't let me buy any more than 100 shares at one time .but would let me sell 20000 shares, they must want shares and are aggressively marking the price up in anticipation of more buys ??? Buy that could change anytime....

Futuras CEO JB.s knowledge of the company and its prospects is much greater than most of its shareholders, and yet even he doesn't know what our share price is going to do in the next few weeks,,,,,, most of the shareholders posting here and other boards have delved into every nook and crannie of futura and even they/ me. Don't know we're it's ultimately going,,,,,,,so it's quite possibly we could be over a �1. In the Next week or two ,or standing still or retreating , nobody knows , that's what makes it so speculative and very interesting, ,,,,,,,,,,,a massive rerating in either direction could happen, but on balance of probability it will go upwards, and even substantially upwards,,,,,,,,AIMHO,,,,,,,,,GLA

Some days posters come on here with positive post ,,,some days negative ,with negative aspects of the companies bussiness plan , and some days some where in the middle,,,,,,,and with all that it triggers some people to challenge any of these posters,,,, take on things,,,,,, it's what makes it interesting,,,,,,,,but everyone deserves for there view to be read and reflected upon,except we're bad language and expletives are expressed? But everyone can freely express themselves here and that's great and a free democracy. Thank heavens we're not in some other countries that pull you into a cell when expressing your natural view.. So good luck everyone invested here, and also to those who are not . AIMHO,,,,,,,,GLA

Comeonvog,,,,,,,,,,I whole heartedly and sadly but realistically agree with you. Where ever you find,,,, people and money,,,,,, you'll find that combination of greed corruption and dirty tricks. And finding good value stocks will nearly always have some of that combination in them,,,, unfortunately,,,,,,LOL GLA

Fulmar29. If you've any evidence at all to back up your claim from your post , then I would be very interested in seeing it posted here. But as you say you just might be thinking to much,,, just like myself... I guess we will really never know for sure what the truth was at that time ,as some of the dirty tricks employed by big pharmaceutical companies is widespread and not published ,as very expensive litigation will usually follow. ,,,,,these companies will even buy small companies and products and bury them to protect there own products And sales,

The share price was well over 50p when C&D dropped its bombshell and dirty corporate trick on futura, So another strategic big partners licence should at the very least take us well back over the 50p Mark, And beyond,,,,,,,,,it was C&D who destroyed investors confidence in futura,,,,,,and we're about to get it back and much much more,,,,,,,,,, a fair price is way beyond the current valuation. I'm expecting a large increase In futuras share price after our companies long awaited presentation to institutional and private investors Everything looks set for a upward trajectory in our share price and futuras fortunes.. AIMHO,,,,,,,,GLA

The MM were offering 44.70p for 50000 shares just a moment ago, it's looking very positive to get over 50p by tomorrow's close, ,,,,,,,,kiss of death LOL

IMHO. I would be surprised if they kept the MED GEL licencing deal news until the 14th of October as that's going against RNS protocols , they are meant to release that price sensitive news probably a soon as they sign that licence deal, and if they don't then maybe another corporate action is on the way.??? They must tell the market ASP unless there's much more to this, or maybe they have plans to sign on the dotted line on the 13th of October that would fulfil futuras statutory obligations about notifying the market With price sensitive RNS NEWS ? GLA

A BIG single 100000 buy just there. A notable buy and hopefully a good indicator for great news that's on the way. GLA

Also because futura medical is a small virtual biotech then any profit Will go directly to the bottom line, And that will make it a easy clean takeover target, with only a very small number of employees to deal with. Everything's looking great heading into all the product updates and formal licencing deals and possibly Corporate actions, and a hopefully great analysis presentation to get some extra share buying to strengthen our share price. AIMHO.......GLA.....

It is confidence building, observing a long line of blue buys , but nervous sellers will always appear .it shouldn't be to long before there's. Great news appearing on our screens ,,,,,,GLA

Just watch out for any unusual buying or selling patterns coming up to our big announcements, leaks are very common. In the buys and sells everything above 38.11p is a buy as of this moment

Derek walking because he was frustrated about there being no takeover,,,LOL Yes that would be understandable,,,,,,after 10 years in office, he's probably just sick of looking at JB,s face,,, The AIM guidence around releasing. Sensitive news around important SP moving deals is very clear, Any sensitive news should be released ASP to avoid any leaks or market manipulation, So to get a takeover offer and sit on that news goes against that guidence....... Unless the offer was contingent on the out come of the PK study, pain relief portfolio regulatory submissions, and also the csd condom out licencing deals. In which case no offer would have to be released to the market until it was a concrete offer, It is incredible for all this information and newsflow to be held back to coincide with the preliminary results On the 14 of March,,,,,,,,JB has always and has stated futura would release any material information ASP, So why is it so important to hold all this information back including that major multi million pound licencing deal to reveal it probably on the 14th of March??? Is it just a coincidence that futura signs the big deal on or around the 14th of March???,,,,,, I think not!!! Something big is coming ? There has to be a very important reason for James Barder to stretch all these very important and market sensitive results into just one day. IS it a takeover? Our Is it a major deal and a all encompassing deal that includes all our products and someone is making it worth our while to the tune of millions of Pounds of upfront payments, Something big is getting signed for, and I'm staying on futuras share registar to gain from this deal. AIMHO,,,,,,GLA

Daringinvestor/ rhodi,,,,,,,,,,,,,, if Derek martin FD. Left for health reasons quite often companies use that news To relay that news to investors were granted and calm investors nerves that everything's ok and that's completely understandable and nearly always accepted without a murmur,,,,,,,,,,,, but to replace him after 10 years of good service. !!!!!! / he resigns informally Nov/ Dec to pursue other interest. Aged 57? And at a critical time !!!!! And at exactly ?? the same time our eagerly awaited licensing deal for MED GEL was to be revealed,,,,,,,,is a massive coincidence ?? And bore out by Angela hildriths leaving her old job in early December,,,,,,,,her old employer might not have asked her to work any real notice,,, and quite often will let her go within days if they have a replacement,,,, ,to avoid any company secrets or information leaking out,,,,,,, that standard practice,,,,,,,,,,,,and pay them until the end of the month anyway,,,,,,,,,, She's younger and probably more enthusiasm than Derek and more credentials to go with that enthusiasm, So was she hired and Derek fired to accommodate a offer for futura and and its long suffering shareholders. I don't know !!! but don't let the truth stand in the way of a good story,,,,,,,,,,, I hope I'm not trying to make something fit when it just can't fit,,,,,,,but everything I've said is plausible now as opposed to the few days after Angela's appointment?.......... But the truth may just be more mundane or boring than I want to believe in,,,,like delays delays and out of the control of futura and JB? And simply held back back by the bureaucracy of a major healthcare company? I guess only time will tell or massive big buys in blue? leading up to that big announcement. Or announcements??? I made a hanson profit on imagination technologies takeover last year,,,,,so who knows what kind of profit I'm making from futura this year?? I'm well up on it right now! But it's the stock market I'm gambling in,,,,,,,,,,exciting times ahead,, fortunes to be made ? Bring it on.....AIMHO,,,,,,GLA

SO WAS DEREK MARTIN PUSHED OR STEPPING ASIDE FOR A MORE EXPERENCED FD ???

FD quits Timis mining group By Nikhil Kumar Wednesday 18 August 2010 23:00 BST0 comments 0 Click to follow The Independent Online Craig Smith is to step down as the chief financial officer of African Minerals, an Aim-listed miner which struck a $1.5bn investment deal with China last month. The company, which is led by the colourful businessman Frank Timis, said Mr Smith would depart at the beginning of next month after helping with the transition of his successor. Last month, Shandong Iron & Steel agreed to invest in African Minerals in a deal that will assist the development of the company's flagship Tonkolili iron ore project in Sierra Leone.

The farce engulfing the takeover of Mecca Bingo owner Rank Group took another twist on Tuesday when the company's two top executives both resigned suddenly. Ian Burke, chief executive of Rank since March 2006, and Paddy Gallagher, who has been finance director since June 2008, both quit the board with immediate effect prompting the company to admit: "The board is convening urgently to discuss these latest developments with its advisers and a further announcement will be made shortly." The dual resignation follows a bizarre takeover of the gambling group which began in May when Hong Kong investment group Guoco was forced under takeover rules to announce a �585m cash offer for the bingo and casino operator. After shareholders surprisingly accepted the bid this month, Rank advised investors to take no action. The company then issued a statement last Thursday saying that while the offer undervalued the company, shareholders should accept it anyway, before performing a swift U-turn on Monday when it withdrew its grudging support for Guoco's bid, largely because of uncertainties about the continued stock exchange listing of Rank's shares. Tuesday's statement added: "Following the announcement by the board yesterday in relation to the offer for the group by Guoco, Ian and Paddy have expressed to the board their view that, given the feedback received from institutional shareholders since the announcement, coupled with the advice from the group's brokers in light of this feedback as to the possible level of acceptances of the offer, it is now more than likely that the offer will result in a cancellation of the listing of Rank's shares � on the London Stock Exchange."

so what im saying is that,,, its also quite possible that to agree a takeover and to keep futura medicals small head quarters intact , the price might have been to put a more experenced FD in place, and for the small team there to carry on developing the company with outsiders money and expertise, and derek martin was a sacrifice request to that outside offer ???? question questions everythings possible and it might be fullish to rule out a takeover....GLA aimho
