and recruiting for the stage 3 clinical trial by the time I get back from my holiday in a couple of weeks ;)

bp82- thanks very much for finding and sharing this news. Looks like Val's making progress!

September 11th.

Thanks for letting me know Fredd1eboy. Strangest thing- I read the article then posted it. Then went back to retrieve it when you said the link wasn't working and it's disappeared! I've reported it to the Guardian and they say I haven't been hacked- the article was there and then it's been pulled! They're checking it out- we'll probably read it tomorrow is my guess. Sorry everyone.

hacking are as bad as ever. Microsoft has called out Russian sites for infiltrating US right wing sites associated with those organisations that have called Trump out and challenged Russian interference in elections. However, their site closures are described as like 'playing whack a mole'. As fast as one site is closed another pops up. Meanwhile at home Hunt has called for greater European oversight to enforce tech regulations aimed at preventing hacking. All good for us. I will buy in again before the end of the month.

as soon as we get some funding. This coverage today is for a phase 1 trial which like VAL has demonstrated some remission in tumour growth and extends longevity for seriously ill patients. The potential for earlier interventions will be very exciting.

What happened in July was exactly what George Morris said would happen. That is, that VAL filed the results of the phase two trials for VAL 401 with the relevant authorities in Georgia, USA. This means that peer reviews can be carried out and that we can progress to phase 3 trials- which we know is dependant on attracting additional external funding. So no bull****. They are doing what they said they would do.

Well for anyone who believes tweeters (?) AKW has shared a record purporting to be from the Georgia regulatory body to acknowledge receipt of VAL 401 trial data. I will try to verify this today with a few direct searches.

It's not him as you well know AdamH90. You're probably shorting this share now alongside Russel Cox and you've come up with this naff storyline on your WhatsApp group. Anyone can give themselves any twitter handle they want.

Hi Geecee3,
Yes I noticed that tweet from AKW Anthony too. I guess it could be true. Some of those twitter guys are heavy duty rampers so who knows. He has shared an email reply purporting to be from VAL saying that they won't RNS the submission to Georgia for trial data but they have started responses in line with the regulatory requirements so that the data is available for peer review. So we may have a long wait.

the formal confirmation of the trial data registration rather than the submission?

sells than buys. Don't know why LSE can't keep the data live. Nowt new there. But interesting that the sp is holding when we have more sells than buys today. I have totally given up trying to work out any method to the brokers decisions!

Not about conspiracy theories. Just a word of caution about how people behave when there's money to be made. I know we all know this but sometimes it can get hard out there hey! ;)

My mistake then- some-one else has the exactly the same user name as you! Riddler is on Twitter for sure and you both changed your mind at the same time. Of course you can change your mind mate. There's nothing wrong with the BOD. This is a very small R&D company. You act as if it's a multi-national. Of course it's odd when people who've been invested for a while blow hot and cold- as your twitter name sake does! Feel dizzy trying to keep up with his constantly changing views on the same shares! I sometimes sell up- usually when I've made my targets but sometimes before. I just don't feel the need to run down the company I'm invested in- guess why?! LOL!

again. I expect we'll see them tonight after close of play when the sp will suddenly rise a bit. I just wanted to explore the behaviour of shorters a bit. We obviously haven't got any big companies shorting us. But with penny shares it occurs to me that you can have quite and impact with just £30-40K.
I've just had a look at IQE's shares. Sadly this brilliant British company based in Wales and bringing a lot of high quality employment to a previously poor part of Wales, is being shorted to bits. Goldman Sachs have now bought in and loaned out shares to join the likes of Marshall Wallace. Today's good news for Apple, who IQE supply has again failed to translate into an sp boost as shorters sell into the rise. What frustrates me with these hedge funds is that the company don't even get to see any money- the shorters are just buying a proportion of the face value of their shares though their exposure is much bigger and of course they are vulnerable should things go awry.

I noticed that Riddler and AdamH90 who have been bigging up this share on Twitter for many months (to people who would never have even heard of it otherwise) are now suddenly dissing it every day. All investors have to deal with the twin drivers of 'fear and greed'. Kind of crude and it doesn't say everything about why we're here but I guess you know what I mean? It's noticeable that every now and again we get some big investments when the sp is as low as it's going to get. The sp climbs because we know that we're getting closer to something big and then exactly some big investments get sold. Then we hear a lot of negative stuff endlessly. Maybe we start to lose faith? Maybe we decide to sell at a loss. Don't forget that big news is still just round the corner but now the sp is down and anyone who has the courage will go in, most people who've sold at a loss will give up.

I don't want to say for one minute that everyone shouldn't be thinking carefully about their investments. I do think it's interesting that when a small company starts to move towards a critical growth lever- eg. with VAL this is more their time than ever before- all of a sudden a few previous serious rampers suddenly get cold feet. All of a sudden every day is D day- so what happens to your emotions when it isn't? But who was it that started putting this really serious deadline on things that are complex (submitting the trial data to the authorities in Georgia) and ****ging off the company because they haven't met the deadline that wasn't ever a serious deadline anyway- just expressed as an aspiration?

There are groups of people on Twitter who latch onto particular shares and encourage a lot of investment. I suspect they are quire organised. They have different roles. You can see them doing it on different shares- they all invest in the same shares. I think they are acting together- not necessarily to short- more likely to drive up sps and push them down in between news. So- that's it from detective Tric

We'll see an improvement as we get closer to results I expect- that's the usual pattern.

at £30K and £14.69K are now down as sells (27th and 26th July respectively)? Is that LSE getting it wrong or is some-one sad enough to be shorting this share?!

Re- can they release the data to prospective partners before they release it to the market? The rules are there to prevent market manipulation (!!!). If you were a prospective partner and you bought a lot of shares based on the data and /or knowing you were going to do a deal you would get into trouble. Though it doesn't look like that's what's happening right now anyway! Not too impressed that we haven't had an RNS after George's comment that 401 results would be ready within about the next '7 days.' Being generous about it- 7 working days would be today and 'about' isn't specific. So, I'm sticking with a generous interpretation and expecting something in the next few days for now.

I haven't got £130K in Val. I'm doing fine mate.
