The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Thanks Elllltel. So he’s not just merely interested like castle?
Talking about castle, he is a very interested guy indeed everybody. 500 posts in 30 days, averaging 17 posts a day, 7 days a week, morning until night and all just about SYME. That is some interest, isn’t it?! Lol.
Castle - you post about SYME more than any other person in the world, literally. Can you explain why? Whilst digesting your posts, it would be useful to understand your motives.
A sensible answer would be much appreciated.
Rosie - you have to admit, there does seem to be a bit of a conflict between the message that you posted on the MFTB board below and your hundreds of posts about SYME. How do you explain that? Do you not think you should be judged by your own standards? A sensible answer would be much appreciated.
Lex - I’m afraid your motives deserve to be questioned when you’ve made more than 1,700 posts all concentrated on one company in which you’re not invested.
You’re incapable of providing a logical explanation for this.
Hi No. 1.
No, I don’t believe that Lex caused the price to fall. As you say, the delays, lack of news, CLNs have done that. I also don’t believe for a second that Lex has posted over 1500 times (always negatively) about SYME because he’s merely interested. Do you?
Just remember everyone, Lex isn’t here because he is fascinated in the company, it’s because he’s wants to encourage negative sentiment and drive the stock price down. He has posted more than 1,500(!!!!) times about SYME even though he has no investment in it.
That’s because she appears to have been doing fixed term contract roles.
Hi all,
I’ve got loads and loads of time on my hands. Please can someone recommend a share for me to message about endlessly, day after day from morning until night? To be clear, it’s not one that I will ever invest in. This is just for the pure fascination of it.
Many thanks!
Apologies, I hadn’t read the link - I don’t think I’m a million miles off with my guess though. This would certainly be at the assistant co sec level as the company is still pretty small. GBP50-60k plus bonus is about right. The big numbers cited on your link will be for very large businesses indeed.
Separately, very often the co sec duties are incorporated into that of the general counsel. I hope they hire one of those soon too so that they can start to tackle some of the defamation that gets chucked in their direction.
Trevor - I’m beginning to think they’re being deliberately obtuse, what do you think?
One final time - co sec duties need to be done by someone. When a company is small these duties are usually outsourced because there isn’t enough work there for a permanent employee. When the company gets bigger, the co sec duties become larger and a time comes when it makes commercial and financial sense to bring someone in InHouse. It’s a necessary role but not particularly senior in the grand scheme of things. In terms on compensation, I’d have thought maybe £50-60k a year type job.
I’m sorry Holly, there is plenty of legitimate criticism to be thrown at the company but this is not it. They’re simply hiring a co sec. It’s not some kind of dramatic event taking place here. Your logic that they’re not doing well is the reason for hiring a co sec makes no sense.
Calling it a “change of secretary” is misleading. They’re simply hiring their own co sec rather than paying external fees. I’m guessing you don’t really understand what a co sec does which is fair enough but there is absolutely no negative in hiring one - in fact, there’s a positive as you have someone who is solely dedicated to the company, will gain greater institutional knowledge and will mean they don’t have to pay expensive external co sec costs. It really is as simple as that.
