“This is not the end, it is not even the beginning of the end. But it may be the end of the beginning.” Great quote Seeingtom.

Yes, a really great day Chab. Many thanks again for introducing me to it.
Hope NFX comes good for everyone.

I get where are you are coming from Moni. I’m invested in AGL and it’s potential is enormous, hence imo the valuation. They have been working for over six years to gain FDA approval and today is a major milestone. I have never doubted the company, even though I averaged up and was in the red most of the time so today has admittedly been a good day for me.

Great day for POLB as well.

Great news today and congratulations all holders and to Angle.
I have no particular desire for an argument, especially on a day like today, but there is no apology from me Ophidian and your insinuations of inside knowledge. I stand by my comments. An FDA decision has been imminent for a while and I am delighted it arrived today.

“This does not mean anyone should buy - now if they start buying - that would be different ….. “
You might have a point there Mulder. I have bought (and lost) a lot more than AB & AR bought collectively.
I wish all LTH holders the very best, but this share has cost me a lot of money and all attempts to lower my cost average has just resulted in bigger losses.
I crystallised a big loss when AB left but then thought we had turned a corner and bought again with the same results. Not my best move.

I have registered for the Webinar and it is a great opportunity to ask some of the questions we have been wanting asked.
I am sure the results will be good. A question though that even CF may not be able to answer - how on earth did he get his spin off timelines so wrong? Christmas 2020? I don’t think so.

It might as well be Cassandra from Only Fools & Horses.

I do believe the FDA decision is imminent, very feasibly in the next two weeks. I don’t believe in any “inside steering”. I don’t think we would be sub £1 if there was the hint of any substance to any rumours.

My thanks too Slimbo, very interesting notes.

No offence Ninja & Ophidian, but I am massively sceptical that anyone has an “inside track into what is going on inside the company” and agree with Scoutlie that no one knows when the FDA decision will be released.

Time for a broker change.

HL confirmed they now have the certificates which they have sent to the registrar to be converted into electronic form. Because they are a large broker with more holders it may be the reason why it is taking so long. It may be tomorrow they go live, but there again maybe not..

More importantly for me was the very weak explanation as to why HL did not pass on the corporate action. Basically their default was to receive the new distribution of stock. This is a direct quote from from the conversation “we were only able to chose the default. We didn’t have the option to give a secondary option in cases like this so we just went with the default option for our clients.” The fact that only 3% of stock was converted to cash suggested “perhaps we weren’t the only broker that was unable to facilitate the corporate action”. Well they bl**dy should have been able to facilitate it, Barclays, Halifax, HSBC, Interactive Investors, & Fidelity were all among the brokers that were able to.

The reason I have pursued it with HL is that I don’t want to be excluded from any future potential corporate actions in relation to ORPH and the spin outs. I have been with HL for a long time but time to review my situation.

I very much hope we don’t go down a similar route with the other spin offs, because regardless of HL’s inadequacies, it has been a very cumbersome process. Anyhow the sun is shining time for a large G&T!

Good point GB about Monkey Pox and SARS and haha Moni & DS :)

Trout, I agree my broker was **** in not passing on the corporate action, and I am considering moving.
You may be right - “ I can't see Croft not sending out all the certs at the same time, too many listening to the excuses of their Brokers.” Your comment has spurred me onto to have another go at HL, they are looking into it and will call me back.
Hopefully all parties will receive their shares soon and will be in a position to sell, hold, etc as they see fit. In the meantime it is not an ideal situation.

It seems really bad market practice for the POLB shares not to have been released uniformly all at the same time. Surely it gives some investors an advantage over others who are unable to trade their shares. It’s mired in incompetence.
If Croft are to blame they need a rocket up the ar*e from POLB.

Ticked all my boxes. As good an RNS as you could get under the CRL circumstance. I will add to my holding.

Good post DS.
Like you & others I have bought on the basis of CF’s guidance or should I say misguidance. There is much to admire, I don’t doubt his work ethic, and he deserves great credit in building OO up. It’s just a shame his mouth has turned him into a bit of liability at times.

With respect DS I don’t think Moni is trolling. I think a few LTHs have become disillusioned with CF and his massively misjudged timelines and over-promises, it’s just some express it more often than others :)
Totally agree that it is poor that OO have taken down the Webcast. I really hope that CF finally manages to complete the spin offs and in a way that rewards loyal share holders.

Hi Theta, I am also with HL and am not happy at being excluded from the 5.9p offer. At the time I probably wouldn’t have taken up the off but HL clients should have been given the opportunity.
Given that HL is the UK’s biggest stockbroker I wonder how many POLB holders were denied the right to participate.

Still not live in my SIPP on HL, but then HL has performed pretty abjectly with everything in relation to POLB.

Still not live in my SIPP with HL.
