From an update 28th Feb. we can gather that Optim 1000 is now the Optim 2 and has undergone some major modifications to reduce its bench footprint and make it easier to service plus there is a new software package for it. Commercialisation of Optim 2 is under way and one customer has placed an order for a second unit and others are about to. AX-1 "Sensipod" has undergone some modifications at the suggestion of the Vets that have been field trialling them and the new models are now being manufactured for stock. Also the test menu has been expanded. Sales are due to commence in the Spring 2013. Avacta has been presenting the Affimer Reagents technology at various seminars and will continue to do so, with revenue expected in 2014. So it's hardly surprising that there has been a decline in the SP and I don't expect it to rocket any time soon, however I think that it is more likely to sneak up from the summer onwards and accelerate once the Affirmers start producing revenue. You may yet achieve 1p mpg1 in which case I will be buying more as well. IMHO our patience will be handsomely rewarded here, but patience is essential. Of course, the more adventurous could use the money to grow profits elsewhere and come back here at a later date but I wouldn't leave it too long. Hope this helps. Wishey.

Ecoisland will be back. You can't tell me that Ecoisland will fill the IOW with fuel cell costing twice the price of an equivalent unit. Only the MOD procurement dept. would do a stupid thing like that. I'm pretty sure that when it comes to the point where the Islanders have to buy their own units, market forces will prevail. I'm interested to see if AFC Energy gets involved in this project.

That's strange Taylor_0, you seem to have placed exactly the same post on NTOG, BLVN, SOLO, SKR, VOG and ORE. Not ramping GWMO by any chance are you? and good luck with that one bye the way!

Totally agree, but you must feel a bit sorry for those whose stop losses were triggered today and you can't help wondering if the MMs knew the whole story but dumped the price anyway to gather up some cheap shares. Thanks for the info Barberscat.

being triggered left, right and centre so I can only think that it might be a bit of a tree shake. I must admit that I did take some profit here and buy into IOF as the prospects there look as good as OCG, but unless gas prices suddenly rise and oil fields stop flaring I can't see OCG's future being dented much. However, I haven't been keeping track of OCG recently so I could be totally wrong.

I wish it was, but no, however, it is a nagging thought to do so because of the tremendous rewards that could be reaped, but you would have to consider the difficulty in offloading so many shares in the event of another severe crash. I did consider the possibility that AX-1 may be exhibited at BSAVA, in which case it would have to have had successful trials and be fully commercialized . Have you seen the prices of entry to BSAVA? apart from the Sunday ticket (£16), you would need to be a vet to afford it! I think that I will email AVCT to see what can be done. I'd be happy to buy a few pints by the way.

something like that anyway! I played bass in a band for a number of years. I hope AVCT does better than my bass playing!!

is a bl@@dy good Idea. Thanks very much for that. Well done.

Sorry blueberry, I do not have the answer to your question. Sometimes the market makers just move the price about for no reason that we would understand. Perhaps someone else on this board can explain.

This was one of the resolutions passed at the AGM, so it has probably yet to happen. I have been invested in Avacta for as long as I have been in shares and up to now there has been nothing really to write home about, but I have built up a general picture of how the company is run and how it has got to where it is now and my firm belief is that this year we will see some building on the firm foundations that have been laid by this group of very intelligent people. I sit at my computer screen most days and view my holdings and wonder whether it would be worth selling off a whole load of them to buy into Avacta big time, but before doing that I would have to visit the company to gain a much greater understanding of its future and without that the gamble is just too great, however it could be a life changer.

Not quite. I bought 300k this morning at 10.58.15 and it is shown as a sell!! A company buying their own shares back can mean that it has cash and wishes to increase its controlling interest, it can also be that it is speculating that the share price is about to go up and wants to profit from selling at the higher price. There are other reasons but I am a bit too dim to understand them.

Not really sure why this happened bb but if you can understand its contents, you can view the proxy form on the Avacta website to see what they were voting on which includes AVCT buying back 315,684,491 of its own shares. I am not particularly bothered by these small ups and downs, I just keep buying at the right time and looking forward to the future when every penny rise will earn me £40k profit.

I remember saying that and I think that I added that if nothing happened by Christmas I would look elsewhere to place my funds. Believe me, you are not alone in flogging shares just before they head northwards. Take a step back for a moment. Why are you investing in shares? The simple answer is....to make money!! Your money could be in a crumby building society earning stuff all interest and loosing money due to inflation. So for a kick off, pat yourself on the back for being someone with the guts to give it a go on the stock market. Most people I know shudder with fear when I mention shares.. Take a look at the sp graph for AVCT, it's going up in steps and staying there and not retracing much, which is a good sign. Personally I would buy back in as I have done, in fact I bought another stack yesterday. Ok you won't buy as many as you had before, but when the sp goes up again, you will be making money. Look at it this way, when AVCT shares are 20p you'll just be glad you bought back in even at 2p. OCG has a huge future, but the price has gone from 80p when I bought my second lot, up to £1.85 and I'm still buying, so don't beat yourself up for missing a rise, make money where you can because it all adds up.GL

It might be worth just watching for a while because there has just been a rise on the news of Hendersons big buy, but on the other hand, if there is news on AX-1 or the licensing of the Affinity reagents I wouldn't want to be out of AVCT. It shouldn't retrace too far anyway. It's always worth doing some preliminary research into a share before joining a BB, because you may be answered by a poster with the wrong kind of agenda. Thanks for your honesty bye the way, I know I can be a bit direct and sometimes wrong.GL

I could be wrong here, but I am guessing that you have parachuted into this BB clicked on AVCT fundamentals, picked out the shares in issue figure and thrown that in to make it seem as though you know something about the company and then asked the board to do your research for you. My advice to you is to take a good long look at AVCT, research it properly and then you will discover what all the money raised from the share issues has been used for, what news is expected and how the finances looked at the last statement. Then you will realize what an excellent company this is and find all the reasons why it's a great company to invest in.

48.4% of the total shares issued are held by investment companies, the directors hold a shed load more and this concerns you somewhat?

It's a good sign that there are very few posts. There's no need to talk this one up because most holders know where it's going. It's actually quite sad to revisit some of the penny share BBs where I was once one of the gullible investors, and find the same old posters still trying to enthuse about a share that has been the same price or less for the last two years or so and with very little hope of it ever going anywhere in the meantime. Thank goodness that I woke up to that lark in time to move money into the likes of OCG and CAR. Having said that, I have always held faith in AVCT which is now moving northwards steadily. I manage about 4 mil of them but have decided to fill up, as this is one of those rare opportunities to get in at the very bottom of a very promising company.

Well hush ma mouth.

...because I would like to see this tick up steadily without news, then when news does come along..........

Sold ok this afternoon but haven't tried buying yet, I'll wait until 4pm. Thanks for your tips, take a look at IQE and OCG. OCG will be very big.
