If there is a sudden rise in the sp, I hope that the MMs keep a decent spread to avoid massive profit taking, otherwise we could be below 1p again. I'm hoping that any RNS rise is being built in now and that the steady rise continues.

Thanks for your reply. I'm knocking on a bit myself, but enjoying early retirement. It was very uncomfortable selling three grands worth of shares for a couple of hundred quid, but I bit the bullet and did it and I have to confess to buying a load more AVCT. However OCG is my main target for diverting funds to after further clearouts. what fun! GL.

Strangely enough I will not be selling any more AVCT shares because I now have a reasonable number of them without having too much money tied up. I have however decided to get away from this type of minnow because having experienced NRRP de-listing today I feel that micro cap companies with penny shares are no longer worth the bother. I am not denying that the occasional boomer does happen, but they are few and far between and the sad thing is when you look at the LSE boards for the micro caps, some shares like EDL and HER have had endless posts day after day but have gone absolutely nowhere and yet OCG, in which I am building a good holding, has maybe 2 posts per week but is going great guns. I am confident that Avacta will produce the goods, but holding 2.5mil shares for a year or so is not the way to make money. It's also worth noting that some companies that carry out reports on micro caps, especially miners and oilers have been known to overestimate their potential, which makes a mockery of one's careful research. So having gone through the worst financial calamity I have ever known and watched as my paper losses sneaked up on me, I feel that I am wise enough now to do some serious investing which will not include micro caps but maybe a few promising small caps and definitely shares for the ISAs. So stick with Avacta, I think it is on the way up now and will continue to do so. It's also nice to be in profit with them just for a change. GL.

I have been trading shares for just under 4 years and made a reasonable amount of money at it. One thing has, at last. become painfully obvious. unless you are very lucky, these tiny penny shares are a complete waste of time, money and effort. I have no doubt that a number of posters on LSE are extremely clued up on their respective subjects and go to a great deal of trouble to keep their fellow posters up to date with progress, but to what end? Luckily I got out of HER at the right time, but where has it gone since? and yet corbine is still posting great stuff in the hope of some sort of recovery. To me, it just doesn't make sense any more, so it's time to sell off the remainder of my cash absorbent minnows and put the money into larger more established companies with graphs that go up and not inexorably down. If NRRP does ever sort itself out I will sell immediately whatever the price. I do however wish you all the very best and a happy Christmas.

After months of nothing, I decided to sell off some AVCT shares and now the sp goes up. It never fails! Luckily I still hold quite a few hundred thousand of them. Why the rise? will it break 1p?

Some time ago I sold Dialight @ £3.96 thinking that I had made a smart move. They are now worth £11.20. I am not making the same mistake with OCG. ASOS are now worth circa £22. Wouldn't that be nice!

The great thing about AVCT is that the equipment sales are important and will create revenue, but it's the consumables that will really secure long term profitability. It would be interesting to know the price of the sample cartridges for both Optim and AX-1, because I bet they are not cheap.

Very solid, that's why I'm staying in. 2013 should see a steady rise in the SP, but AVCT showing a profit is when things will look more interesting.

so it's more of the same.The tiny rise will be wiped out by profit takers so back to square one. Think I'll still hold though.

Perhaps the SP needs to be raised before the end of the month, T/O or perhaps placing to fund AX-1 stock or maybe an acquistion.

Fair comment.

That surprises me because even though the Company has been short on news of late, which prompted me to review my situation, I have been encouraged by the recent update and would now not sell under any circumstances until after Oct 30th. Avacta will be a worthwhile share at some point, but those of us that have been in for a number of years will probably be wondering when. Maybe Oct 30th will be lift off time.

I emailed the company a few weeks ago and as per usual did not recieve a reply. I am tempted to sell AVCT, but I know that as soon as I do, the sp will go up so I'll hold for the rest of this year, but if there's no movement at Christmas I will have to look elsewhere.

Decided to reduce my holding in AVCT today because although I still believe there is a bright future for this company, I cannot justify leaving that amount of money lying around doing nothing when there are some very interesting shares making good progress. Still holding a few mil though.

but no fireworks today.

Avacta seems to have taken forever to get to commercialisation, which is hardly surprising if you take into consideration the way that this company has been laying its foundations for a long and successful future. I cannot blame investors for pulling out of Avacta shares and making their money work harder else where, but I firmly believe that here is an oportunity to double or triple your money almost overnight. It's interesting to note that Avacta now describes itself as a "consumables" company which is where you would want it to be and not just relying on equipment sales. April the 29th should be the turning point for this share, but if it isn't, I can wait.

From my very limited experience of takeovers, the shares in the target company usually rise to somewhere near the bid price as negotiations go on so it's no bad thing. As for the split and valuation of the shares....way over my head I'm afraid. I can only assume that the NAV of each division would come into play, but would the loss off the Human side devalue the rest of the group? I just don't know. That's my last on the LSE board. GLA.

This is purely a guess, but the wording suggests that a third party may well facilitate the divide so I'm thinking that Pall may well make a takeover offer for Human Health, as their relationship with avacta is a developement partnership rather than just straightforward distributorship, so I can only think that the shares would be divided into Human and Animal and your human ones would become Pall shares or the equivalent if the takeover was successful. What are your thoughts on this one enegyface?

Thank you, I stand corrected.

Well spotted Weslon, very interesting reading and some very encouraging financial info.
