The shares are doing the talking!

Something good is cooking!
No complaints from me.

Thanks Rusty,

I'd rather keep my eyes open if it's all the same to you.
If you don't enjoy the game of 'whack-a-mole' then by all means use a filter.

I meant to say:

stt1 what's wrong with stopping bothering people on both lse and advfn Tremor?
You are making an absolute laughing stock of yourself.
A ten year vendetta against tremor and nothing to show for a wasted chunk of your life.

Totally sp is falling and Tremor sp is rising.
You bang on about the challenges facing the ad-tech sector whilst praising the healthcare private sector firms but must be aware that greater scrutiny is planned for private sector firms working with the NHS.

stt1 what's wrong with stopping bothering people on lse Tremor?
Now you are alleging company fraud, and so the to-ing and fro-ing will continue.
What is the point of your vendetta?

stt1 what's wrong with stopping bothering people on here?
We certainly are not loading up on Totally - are you?

What is stt1 up to on LSE Tremor boards - just what you are complaining about people on here whom you choose to abuse.
What goes around...
I'd like to hear a good case for private healthcare that does not rely on using care homes as a short-term business proposition - loading massive debts and then leaving the tax-payer to pay the tab.
You must be aware of the picture.
Councils use private companies to supply a demand they cannot meet, using council (our) cash and they exploit it for profit.
Private healthcare has a good record of parasitism, not a symbiosis as claimed.

rising! rising!

Poor old C*n*u*t

It was pleasing to see the 550 and then the 550 levels smashed in quick succession.

stt1, why are you pretending the changes are great?

You can't beat a full stack

The full stack is great for Tremor - much more to come!

There is certainly a case for private healthcare involving the NHS as long as it benefits the NHS.
Let's say that I have a medical condition, in old age, that the NHS does not have the latest treatments for, that are available under licence privately from a U.S. pharmaceutical company, via private healthcare.
How many older people have their wits about them enough to find this out?
NICE may not yet have approved the treatment for a variety of reasons, cost being an obvious one.
The NHS medics do not even always let patients know about alternative, paid-for, treatments.
That seems a failure.
If I am still 'compos mentis' and I can search online for specialists in the field and pay for a private consultation, then I may, after consultation, be referred to a treatment centre, most probably the NHS, where a fairly large part of the private fee is to pay for the costs of renting the theatre facilities, where the operation will take place.
The consultant working privately is paid for NHS-acquired skills, probably working at the weekend, his fees are relatively small.
The treatment costs are not particularly great, but beyond the strict approval of NICE to supply on the NHS it is the only option as NICE will have looked into the cost of supplying a drug or procedure to the potential customer-base which may be huge.
The operation may be a success and many thanks to private healthcare in bringing the service to the public, via the NHS.

The fact that poor people who do not have the savvy to find out about the latest treatments, cannot pay the fees for consultation, let alone the procedure itself, and are left out, is a great shame.
That would be an obvious NHS failing, where more work needs to be done, either in funding alternative treatments, however costly, or in just (as is the case now) involving private healthcare for the lucky ones who have the money and the brains to think on their feet.

In-long,
If you come from a medical family then you should know better.
Doctors often tend to work for both NHS and private providers.
If a specialist works in private part of the time, but in the NHS full-time, this alone will lead to increased waiting lists.
If staff hours are taken away,from the NHS into private care, this will lead to staffing shortages.
The public may rightly question the motives of private companies – that have been positioning themselves to profit from the NHS for years. Outsourcing in the NHS has delivered a catalogue of failures and examples of companies gaming the system and providing poor value.
There has always been a state of competition between the NHS and the private healthcare industry, but that competition does not take place on a level playing field. The great majority of clinical staff that work in private healthcare have been trained by the NHS, largely at the expense of the taxpayer.
Private companies only take on the profitable parts of the NHS and won't touch 24/7 care or A&E services that the NHS has to provide. Should a medical emergency occur in a private hospital, it is likely that the patient will need to be transferred to an NHS hospital for proper care and access to the necessary equipment.

Okay, so we have private dentistry and opticians and G.P. practices are largely private partnerships.
Dentists and G.P.'s (most but not all) are quick to spot a commercial opportunity, people like extra money after all.
There have been numerous failures by previous governments to tackle the issues in the NHS, costs are astronomical and there is not sufficient money to pay for it, hence the PPP's of Tony Blair which left the tax-payer to pick up the tab (for years) after some 'creative accounting' practices.
Private care is useful no doubt, but it carries a stigma - public animosity towards the NHS being privatized by so many companies just looking to get at the money.

Is it a good idea to make money out of the NHS?
Private health care companies have a legal obligation to make profits for their shareholders, and this has priority over the standard of care provided to patients. They pay dividends and staff bonuses, so more public NHS funding is funneled into private pockets.
The White Paper news was expected but is not great news for TLY.

Excellent post Pasio, I hope you prosper.

Personal motives may cloud our judgement at times but but a broken clock, being right twice a day, is of no value here.
You will have to do better stt1.

stt1 is seemingly very worried about debt.
We all have debt at some time, most commonly to finance a house purchase via mortgage.
Utility companies hold high levels of debt to service infrastructure costs.
As long as debt can be serviced it is a useful tool.
Freeing up cash for specific purposes.
Nothing wrong at all with debt if it is managed carefully.
Does stt1 suggest that the Israeli company called Tremor is being managed badly?
I rather think not, the Israeli's are very good with money and enjoy making it.
Lots of it.
Does he know why debt exists and the terms and conditions?
No! He just wants to scare people who think debt means something bad.

So, stt1 could have a team of people compiling bovine waste?

That's your problem, stt1.
Please read the links you have posted.
It's all there in black and white.
Feel free to read.

stt1,

If you actually bothered to read the links in full, rather than pick out items which you declare as bad news, you would see a different picture about the overall health of the company.
Facts outside context makes as little sense as comparing share-prices in the past to the present.

And we don't want more bla bla about CEO selling or Trump Election, it makes you look desperate.
