Who do you take your advice from?

A –

William Fischer, M.D., University of North Carolina (UNC), a lead investigator of SNG001, "These results, including a decrease in hospitalisations and adverse events among participants who received SNG001, are promising and warrant further investigation in a larger Phase 3 clinical trial.”

Or B –

A man/ woman – who is in/ out (shake it all about) – who could be short/ long – posts in the middle of the night because of the predictable restless mind, purportedly living in another time zone.

IMO, one of only two remaining narcissists who are now mercifully only bit-part players on this board.

Your choice.

8 posts today, 6 revolving around Macosta and 2 relating to 'Professional'.

A long way down from the days of Matml74 – Schrow - Size82 – GGGG – Matterhorn – JoeyDiamond - WedMee et al.

I'll re-post this one liner from a couple of months ago and pose the question, 'If you looked at SNG for the first time today and have done your due diligence, would you invest a chunk of your hard earned folding tomorrow at 08.30?'

Xviolet:

‘If you hadn't invested previously….the risk/reward case right now is quite something.’

Thanks to Doc83, DocD, Ghia, Dudio, Fruits and TommyD for taking the time to offer your views regarding the differing timeline question I posed last evening - appreciate the healthy exchange of views and debate.

DocD - Before the shenanigans start again tomorrow, your recent heartfelt summary regarding the make up of this board was spot on and put into words what I suspect many think of the current situation.
Tense times - Hopefully the vacuum of silence will be filled with news sooner rather than later.

Aether:

Malevolent – Certainly not.

Using online bullying tactics in a vain attempt to gain the upper hand, shouting phrases you wouldn’t dare use face-to-face, insisting on the last word – Definitely.

I guess you missed the list of direct abuse I posted the other day that was quickly deleted.

Imagine what this board would look like if we all conducted ourselves in such a manner.

IMO, board members should stop turning a blind eye and take a more active role in reporting such posts, in order to curtail such unacceptable behaviour.
As you know, over the past week I have tried to raise awareness of the problem and listed the tell-tale signs, as I believe SNG are entering a crucial phase and we should be supportive and generally respectful of one another, despite having differing opinions. I would offer The Paladin's style of posting as an example.

Last week you have encapsulated all I have tried to explain in one sentence.

‘He doesn't care what attention you give him as long as it is attention.’

Once all posters realise this, they can take appropriate action i.e. NEVER engage in conversation and either report and/ or filter.

I’m putting my filters back on next week, last year I unfiltered everyone in order to give full access to one of my colleagues as part of her studies in human behaviour. Plenty of material on here and three other chosen pages!

Believe me, this board looks so much better with a sea of green boxes at the end of the day. You will also find a better standard of conversation, having filtered out the dross.

For your own mental wellbeing I politely suggest you now also make a start by using the filter option. You’ve put a good shift on here over the past year, but at some point you have to think about yourself and blank these people out of your daily life.

The Mon-Fri crew seem to work in tandem and trying to police the situation more or less alone will eventually take it’s toll. Hoping, but not expecting calmer waters on here next week.

My last piece on this subject. It will be deleted, of course.

During the last seven days I have highlighted the need to be aware of the flawed characters that frequent this board and listed the tell-tale signs to look out for, in order to involve the majority in maintaining the standard of discussion and debate.
Only by sidelining these individuals will your board return to a place where you can gain those valuable nuggets of information we all require, in order to make rational investment decisions.

A coincidence this week that long time poster Ghia told us he has now sold out of this share for now, as he expects the share price to fall further in the immediate future.
Whatever your views on this particular poster, his prediction over the summer that this was ‘a bottom drawer stock’ and that there would be no development or uptick in the share price proved to be 100% correct, a fact that has been conveniently ignored by one who took the wholly predictable opposing view.

Many will have witnessed the unsavoury abuse he endured over the summer, it was to his credit that he didn’t retaliate, but sadly made the mistake in engaging in regular conversation and paid the price.

I’m hoping after this week’s offerings and links, this won’t happen to any of you again.

My midweek post listing this abuse was very swiftly deleted, no one likes to see their dirty laundry hung out on the washing line for all to see. Interesting that the moderator didn’t see fit to delete the same list when requested, a clear case of double standards.

You may have noticed that ‘TommyD’ has finally seen through the mist and has now filtered the same individual, the penny having eventually dropped. He ended his last post to said individual with ‘filtered’, but predictably he was not allowed the last word, even though he couldn’t read it.

In my opinion, these individuals should be sidelined. This type of behaviour is not tolerated out in the real world, the same should apply here.

Finally, anyone who posts the same view in a repetitive, attritional style several times a day and confronts anyone with an opposing view using ridicule, belittlement or abuse should be totally ignored and filtered. All my filters will shortly return to ‘on’.

Again, courtesy of my colleague, above is a summary of individual posting history, in order to emphasise how one individual can distort the genuine sentiment surrounding a particular share by saturating a board on a daily basis over a prolonged period.

Fruits and Ghia -

Interesting that you both have differing timelines re the next announcement.

Would either of you care to expand on your reasoning behind when you think the next development might occur?
I would be good to hear your views on this and put some flesh on the bones so to speak.

I think the majority of the board would say, 'How long is a piece of string?'
Any extra insight from both would be most welcome.

ATVB T

Thanks to Brand and Wigster for this insight - much appreciated.

The plot thickens - Both frustrating and intriguing trying to read between the lines.
Trying to look though the frosted glass windows down in Southampton isn't easy, hopefully we'll get some answers sooner rather than later - 'All good things...'

‘Professional’ - 22 posts this week.

I would have thought a trader who claims to make £500 per day trading this stock wouldn’t have the time to post over 5 times per day.
I’m told most successful traders are generally glued to 3 or 4 screens most of the day, so wouldn’t have the time or inclination to ‘contribute’ to a UK pharma minnow chat room, especially when supposedly residing in The Netherlands.

Hopefully some of this week’s £2,500 profits could be spent on some spell check/ syntax software.

Ended a post today at 15.57 with, ‘I am all balanced’.

On the evidence provided this month, I’m not convinced.

Repetition of the same attritional mantra, attempting to goad and belittle those with an opposing view, no research or insight.
Desperately trying to stay front and centre of the board.

Is this regular pattern of behaviour sounding familiar?

To Aether:
‘and if you talk about me. Also not mentally ill.
But will give you your second cookie. Good boy’

To TommyD:
‘Lets go Tommy. Pump and dump.
Can not make this up. What a guy lol’

Is this how you talk to people in general conversation?
Would he or she speak in this tone face to face?
Of course not.
But online, behind the safety of the keyboard, it’s all good with the moderators.

Abuse, ridicule, belittlement, repetitive attritional comments –

Hundreds of posts all containing the above are routinely ignored by the moderater of this board, but as soon as this type of unacceptable behaviour is listed in isolation, it is reported and deleted.

The truth hurts, especially when it is exposed for all to see.

Without education and awareness this behaviour will continue on this and indeed other boards until we stop turning a blind eye. Simply shrugging our shoulders and doing nothing won’t do in 2023.

It takes less than a minute to report and flag up this type of behaviour, if enough do so your board may return to some sort of balanced debate and normality –It’s up the majority to make a difference.

Looking at this page since the start of 2022, it’s no wonder so many intelligent posters chose to leave and no longer contribute their wisdom and intellect.

A sad state of affairs.

T.

Further to the post by Doc83 @ 17.38:

The individual referred to displays typical NPD behavioural traits – High rotation of repetitive, antagonistic posts, lack of empathy, belittling, goading etc., all designed to keep them front and centre of the board and promote self-importance.

If anyone has any doubts, ask yourself if you think the following quote from a recent post can be classed as normal behaviour.
This was aimed directly at long term holder ‘Tommy D’ in relation to his heavy financial loss.

‘This is joyful to see….

How is your return going on the shares you bought for 24p?

It’s beautiful, thank you :-D The share price is 12.9p’

Recent posts from ‘Professional’:

The last part is art and how you can money so i will not tell more
i know nobody listens to good advice hear
I have NO believe in this management
i feel a lot better today as well as i have at last in to a 30k shares free holding
….I expect that from all companies i invest in. As sng are not i only trade
…and the parties hé talks to are as dumm as the pi investors so they would trick in that strategy.

Can’t hit the right keys to string a decent sentence together, but can apparently hit the ‘buy’ and ‘sell’ buttons at the right time to make £500 a day trading.

I think this poster belongs in the hall of shame along with:

Sanguelas – Shadowboxer – Ndn – Burstead – Scinv – Andybe4 – Manifesto – Macosta – Spacman – Eva etc.

Sorry if any these bring up any bad memories.

You may perceive yourself as an equal member of a greater number, but these individuals see this board as a stage and you as the audience.
Their opinion will be heard and you will listen. Any opposing views must be challenged (antagonistic), there is no debate, as this is a contest that must have a winner and a loser.
You must lose, you absolutely will not have the last word.

Once embedded, these individuals always paint a picture of success in all areas of life, knowing full well there is no means of confirmation: Loving family and friends, busy social life, successful executive career or business owner, world travel etc. The reality is the exact opposite, hence the sheer number of posts at varying times.

You will note that only the ‘intelligencia’ of the forum are targeted, as a means to maintaining a perceived high level of status, with the ‘riff raff’ left completely ignored.

It is important to realise that none of these individuals chose to be born with these behavioural traits, so should be treated with a degree of respect, but at the same time they have no place on a forum where genuine investors are trying to make financial decisions.

Whether an illness is in the mind, lungs, heart etc should be irrelevant, none of us have any control over the location, but illness of the mind has always wrongly carried a certain stigma, mainly due to lack of understanding and education.

Terms such as ‘nut job’, ‘fruit loop’, ‘screw loose’ (as seen on other boards) simply show a lack of understanding and simply add fuel to the fire. As we move into 2023 we should be better than this, hopefully these notes may go some way to making a start in the right direction.

Recommended Response:

If you don’t use the ‘filter’ option, you should NEVER enter into conversation or comment on their posts, even when deliberately provoked, belittled or goaded. The primary response these individuals cannot handle is being ignored or sidelined.
If you must reply, simply copy and paste the first (or both) links provided below without personal comment.
It takes less than five minutes to read these two links, allowing you to easily identify these individuals in future.

Reposting these links without comment by enough posters will eventually force these individuals elsewhere and your board will eventually return to normal, sooner rather than later.

Posting this on a quiet day for relevant background reading, as there have been several casual references to narcissism, mental illness etc on this board recently.

In order to gauge the sentiment around a share before making important investment decisions that may effect your financial future, you may first decide read a forum such as this. It’s crucial that you are not swayed by flawed characters that give a false impression of the chances of success/ failure.

Unfortunately, such individuals are finding their way onto chat rooms such as this in increasing numbers. With this in mind, it’s important you can identify these people as soon as possible, as only by education and understanding will you be able to eliminate them from your thoughts and calculations.

When I say flawed characters I am specifically referring to individuals whose behaviour matches the traits exhibited by those suffering from one or more clearly defined personality disorders. There are ten recognised personality disorders, the two we are concerned with are:

1 Narcissistic Personality Disorder (Sub Group – Antagonistic).
2 Histrionic Personality Disorder.

Clinical diagnosis is not permitted online, but opinions can be formed based on the evidence presented.
These are the common signs to look for:

Frequent posts the same repetitive viewpoint.
Overtly and constantly critical, frequently looking down on others.
Arrogance.
Lack of empathy.
Has difficulty managing emotions and behaviour.
Unreasonably high sense of self-importance.
Reacts with rage or contempt and attempts to belittle others, in order to make themselves superior.
Major problems interacting with peers and feel easily slighted.
Speaks excessively and dramatically with strong opinions, but with few accompanying facts.

Individuals who suffer from these personality disorders live on a spectrum, steadily moving from mild to severe over time. Many are never diagnosed and those who are live in denial, as in their eyes admission of illness would diminish their importance.

In the real world, constantly taking the opposite view in order to remain the centre of attention causes severe social upheaval, resulting in verbal abuse and in some cases, physical violence. As family and friends slowly drift away and unable to hold down employment, most of these individuals lead increasingly isolated lives, often in meagre surroundings, totally unable to correlate their behaviour with increasing austerity.

At this point, many naturally migrate onto forums such as this, where they can carry out their behaviour largely unfettered, as the average board member doesn’t realise they are conversing with a disordered mind.
Any arguments are welcomed and indeed prolonged as long as possible, as this keeps the individual front and centre of the debate.

The choice of share and positive/ negative viewpoint is totally irrelevant. They simply choose a well populated board as a platform to promote their own sel

Mr Costs/ Macosta-

Genuine question: Why are you still here?

On Tues 24th January you posted:
‘20 years they have been trying to approve this drug. It is never going to happen.’

I would have thought after this comment you would have sold up, took the huge loss on the chin and moved on.
Hundreds of fellow posters have done so and ‘taken the hit’, but here you still are.

Despite your change of name, several well meaning posters gave you the benefit of the doubt and classed you as one of many disgruntled investors, not a serial de-ramper.

After the above comment your position as a concerned shareholder is now untenable.
You now appear, like three other posters on this board, to have an agenda.

Several less charitable and less tolerant posters have always held this view, I suspect that number will now increase.

T.

Just dropped in from work to scan the day's activity -

47 out of 91 posts today (52%) all revolving around two posters, keeping them front and centre of the board as usual - exactly as planned.

Signing straight off again and closing the laptop, back into the real world.

16.44: 'Let them play with testtubes but nog lead a company.'

Not very professional. No surprise there.

I always enjoy your daily posts, they're so very entertaining, especially when you mention the £500 you make trading this share every day.

Have you thought about putting your daily thoughts into print?
They'd have more value on paper.
Can you guess what type of paper I'm talking about ?
Yes, that's right, the type you roll around that little tube of cardboard.

Keep on posting though, every court needs a jester.

Doc83 -
Thanks for the reply, POW are on my watchlist but a shade too speculative for me in this current environment, I may step in at a later date. They only need one or two of those explorations to come good and you will multi-bag, so good luck to you with that one.
Interesting that they are cutting the frequency of comms down, as you say those shareholders should try SNG for a year or two!
I think this board has largely come to the same conclusion now. LTHs are 'once bitten twice shy', so remain cautiously optimistic, but won't be too shocked if they get stiffed again.
All the signs show that won't happen, but don't count the profits until they're sat in your account!

ATVB T

Doc83 - Sorry, thanks for the correction.

I meant to reference the recently advertised post:
'The Associate Medical Affairs Director is responsible for managing Synairgen’s relationships with external medical stakeholders, to enable evaluation & preparation for the introduction of SNG001 into clinical practice, post Regulatory approval.'
The last three words being the most pertinent.

Hard to evaluate the risk/ reward here at present until we receive an update.
The analogy of the swan floating serenely above water, at the same time feverishly paddling below the surface springs to mind.
Will this turn out to be a swan or an ugly duckling?
We should find out sooner rather than later.

Many thanks for your excellent contributions.

ATVB T.

Having said all that, the ‘radio silence’ I often refer to is unsettling to the humble retail investor sat on the perimeter fence, hoping to catch a peek inside to see what’s happening.

I have regularly stated one of the primary functions of a CEO is to communicate with investors. In my opinion (I accept this is not worth much as an individual retail investor) Richard Marsden has chosen to keep communication down to the absolute regulatory bare minimum, which I find personally unacceptable.

I recently put forward the view that a quarterly or bi-monthly monthly general update should be given to outline where we are on the pathway towards commercialisation, obviously sidestepping sensitive commercial discussions. This would stop this ridiculous situation where shareholders spread rumours and bicker constantly with each other instead of having healthy, balanced debate and insight.

Paul Johnson CEO of Power Metal Resources (LSE:POW) (not invested, not a recommendation, simply an example) usually updates investors on the company’s activities/ progress/ setbacks/ plans etc roughly twice a week. He even went as far as giving out his personal mobile number on one presentation, allowing 1:1 dialogue for individual retail investors.
We need something in between POW and what we currently have at SNG.

What we 100% don’t need is an EGM.

The smart poster Gunto, as usual, called it right this afternoon:

‘Most of Manifesto’s ramping, which is 99% of their posts on this board, contained little substance.’
