Having read today's Bernberg note, it seems the 'sell-side' analysts are appreciating the improved clarity of what the company plans to do to get growing again.

Management re-setting things and getting a gold star on the credibility front.

Mr Faes' tech skillset is well outside my own competences but maybe his transformation plan is the right one for this company at this time and it'll turn out that his early purchase of a million shares at 69.7p will be well rewarded...

I'm allowing myself to feel excited despite having had a few small cap investment disappointments of late.

I am surprised the sp is up this morning after an initial fall, on the announcement of these Results and the rebased (cut) divi. Clearly all priced in (for once!) and a "relief rally" underway....

Relief from me anyway.

All the things you said are why i invested in the 1st place. I'm not talking them down - and my comments have zero influence on the sp anyway - just noting the heavy decline and, as regards the 'moat', the fact that there's been talk of Chinese companies muscling in on Bioventix's territory of antibodies. Happy you're loading up - we all want the same thing here - but it seems no one else is.

I believe we have to go back to May 2017 to find the share price so low. Despite the yield, market seems to think Bioventix's long-term revenue generators are in slow decline, with no new products to replace them. Also starting to get the impression that the dozen or so personnel that make up the company are a group of old codgers that desperately need an injection of young blood.

...and, possibly, wind it up and get out of the industry!

Have to agree Silverblade, hopes and expectations but very little concrete to read. An exercise in stringing the market along for as long as possible...

A good Monday for BIG!

Is SAGA reporting next week then, does anybody know?

Anything to do with the adverse results released today by Baltic Classifieds Group?

But for newbies, it presents an opportunity.

Tough trading conditions of late for Hvivo, but the cycle will again change, not that I'm calling the low.

Anyway, taken a punt at 5.45p.

Cut the divi by two thirds, share price drops loads, and hey-presto the yield looks respectable again. That's how you do it!

It was always in my mind that it was a possibility, if not a probability, that some sort of 'windfall tax' would be levied to account for the hugely increased earnings of gold miners. In that context, an increase in the royalty rate from 5% to 10% is ok with me, particularly if they stick to their word and drop the levy should the gold price ever drop below $2500 /oz, admittedly unlikely but downside protection nonetheless. The spreading of capital allowances over the full length of a project feels reasonable to me too.

My tuppence worth is that the Zimbabwe govt. won't want to kill the goose that lays literally golden eggs and that this news will in no way derail CMCL from proceeding with the Bilboes project. Long-term hold for me and I'm still being paid to wait.

Gotta love Equity Development, who are paid for by the industry and always bullish.

They only get around to mentioning the (65%) reduction in the final divi on page 15 of their 'analysis". An inevitable cut, but still shocking - less a haircut, more of a butcher's knife...

Yes, another one. This time not even bothering to obtain shareholder approval. Poor corporate governance is what we've come to expect from Boohoo. Presume they're running scared of Mike Ashley.... but they can't even bring themselves to name him. Quite funny really.

Yes indeed, if you only read Equity Development 'analysis', you'd be completely unaware of any difficulties in the world of UK small cap companies over the past 4 years.

The supposedly 'stable' and 'impregnable' controls division has been a major disappointment for some time.

Best the CEO Bartlett falls on his sword. Not a distinguished tenure.

The development of Bilboes was a near certainty, which is why the sp reaction is muted. Good news nonetheless. Reckon we have the high gold price to thank for both project viability and the ability to finance it without a dilutive equity raise. Onwards.

Down 6% first thing this morning on no discernible news. Feel free to blame me and my spectacularly ill-timed purchase yesterday lol.

At 63p this has come down to where it was down here in March. I bought in March and subsequently enjoyed a rare win, making good money selling on the way up. Well, here we are again and I'm in again. 63.16p paid. One wouldn't want to bet the house on BIG while the legal matters are unresolved, but risk-reward, usefully uncorrelated to other stocks, looks reasonable at least for a smallish punt.

Still dipping though...

Thank you. I remain a holder.
