Chris, every company in the world will tell you funding is not a problem. You do get that? (What else can they ever say). Therefore it becomes a relatively meaningless statement unless the market has reason to believe it might actually be true. RH would seem to be the catalyst in AVCT's case. However, RH was also involved with AVCT when the LFT came and went, so its not completely done.
The rise from the lows came AFTER the RNS about refinancing plans. So when you say my "whole narrative is based around the funding being more important than the science", well thats been pretty accurate would you not agree?
The science "works" (we can argue how well based on what has been reported but the latest poster did not tell us much we did already know), so why did the SP continue to fall all through the trial while funding was an issue and only started to rise in the last 3 months when the issue of short term borrowing was positively addressed?
(And not for nothing I did not "talk up" 10p as a placing but could easily see a scenario when the SP which was still falling and was in the mid high 20's that to get it away it could be at that very low point depending on how much money was required. That given the conditions at the time was still I believe a not outlandish outcome, but hey ho.)
as for H2 being the catalyst as sign posted that is absolutely true and is probably the first time a deadline has been kept since any AVCT trial started so again, its not unreasonable, based on the previous history to take a sceptical view on whatever AVCT says, and instead judge it more by results.
It turns out I was one of the "savy" ones getting in prior to the RNS but only through a chart interpretation.
Its still about the money but less so because the market has had proof that the old loan and the readjustment of future payments has been addressed.
The next bit is how the £13m plus will be raised. To see what good/great news the RNS today says regarding the science and the negliable effect on the SP gives me reassurance that it is still about the money.
It will depend on the next round of funding as to what the SP does next. How much will it be for? will AVCT go it alone or will it be short term (12-18 months), will it be a license deal or a RI, or a mixture or a ND?
There are various computations, all of them will have a bearing on how the market reacts.
Once the market knows and it buys sufficient time for avct, then the focus will go back to the science. The SP went to 185p when the market believed that P1a was about to finish. The subsequent delay caused a lack of funds to then complete it, and it has been downhill right up until July, whereby the very short term funding issue was addressed.
So yes, imo funding is more important than the science and I have said it for a long time and it is only now that the majority here seem to have grasped that. Perhaps if they had figured it out earlier they would have more funds to take
