Chris, thats not an unreasonable forecast and therefore the action you propose is logical and sensible.
I am not a perma bear, by the way, but this stock has yet to convince the market that the "good" trial data to date is reliable enough to do any sort of deal with AVCT that we are aware of.
I personally see no evidence of your assumption in the first line about the DX sale Say it isn't? Now we are down to £17m. Typically companies raise cash 12-9 months prior to needing to.
I am all for looking for short term anomalies between a SP and its potential but this down trend has coincided with the trial data. The obvious (and could be wrong) correlation is that the data is not impressing the market.
My experience says that on a trend this long it most likely means something is "wrong"
That could be the trial itself, or it could be the cash position.
And this is important because they are 2 completely separate issues.
The tech can be as good as we hope but if they run out of cash or dilute so much that the investment case collapses then whats the diff?
There is an easy scenario where the next raise is at 20p and an offer comes in at 30p just before, to take away the pain and further risk for investors. Tech still going strong but we all lose.
The Loan was done at around 120-130p I think? Could you imagine the furore if somebody said right then, the next raise will be at 50p? Yet here we are in the mid 30's
It doesn't strike me as the risk reward case is anywhere near as strong as it was.
Finally has P1b dosing started yet? I don't know, do you? we would both be guessing? But why should we?
My argument would be if AVCT said no, they would have to explain why and that might be a problem. Say, yes, all that happens is the SP goes up. The silence tells me most likely it has not started.
I am desperate to be bullish about this stock but years in, they have not done anything to promote that emotion in me, and in fact quite the reverse.
And for the record I will have no problem turning on a dime if unequivocal good news is released and cannot stop gushing about how good the prospects are. Right now, I am still waiting.
