The worst thing was that around 8 years ago (long before the consolidation) I recommended one of my cousins to buy VAL, he invested £20K with the average price of around 0.65p, after the consolidation it would be around close to 70p. Over the years he kept asking me how the share was doing and why it kept losing value, I kept trying to convince him it would come good, but slowly it got to the point he could not bother to ask me anymore and now he doesn't bother to look at the share. Since that experience I decided I would never recommend anyone to buy share or say "well done" or "congratulation"...to anyone who buy in a share. You would never see me ramp or deramp a share, I say how I see in honest way.

I still remember at the last consolidation I got roughly about 150000 shares which equated to around £45K and at that time I was already around 50% on paper loss. You can imagine how much this share has been diluted in just over few years time. I cannot help but think that if VAL was not in bio sector and clinical research company then it would have been disappeared on AIM by now.

I was not happy with one of the recent rns(s) which said that the bod was carefully managing their current financial position, I thought they should have done it years ago then someone kindly put me to the truth fact that Satu earned £250K last year including £30K bonus, so I thought it was enough and sold all my shares at the end of July and got £240 back, those shares costed me just over £12K for them not too long ago.

lunatic, I have never seen anyone so naive like you, I know you have been posting on this share for at least 7 years, don't you understand there is no point of buying lifeboat, just a wast of money, who are you trying to rescue?? All the long term holders sunk long time ago, it is useless now..

Since VAL announced a licensing deal with Mystic over 2 years ago (a deal which will expiry in around 2.5 years time) I had zero hope, not sure why so I never pay attention to this deal but it seems more comment about this deal recently from various people so I went to their website trying to understand a bit more about the company. I found none of the people on the board have any medical related exprience to their cv, the top 2 people, the founder and chairperson is currently running her real estate agent in London and the other one, managing director, used to be a chef and restaurant owner. The funny thing is they even listed the invoices on their website to prove that they do have clients...

Maybe it is time to track back who announced on here VAL would be presenting in Edinburgh, that person could be wrong in the first place. They did promise to be more active communication with share holders and was evidenced from the presentation in July. But for me it is pointless, maybe better not do any presentation so people would find it harder to predict when the next placing coming.

Nickel_Investor, only 5% is hardly sold too soon, there are still plenty of time to buy in, just think how much long term holders are currently deep in red since a year ago...

I think most people have been going through of losing your loved ones or friends through cancer including myself, I think it is not just us but people around the world are desperate for a cure. There have been countless of negative posts about VAL so I guess no need for to write more, the sp performance says everything.

dnd2136, let me give you a little taste of what the 4,200,000 shares would equate to at the last consolidation, that would be worth around £1.3 millions and at the high of 60p it would be around £2.6 millions and now it is worth around £8000. It is absolutely nightmare for some long term holders here.

When I saw the rns this morning and some positive share price movement I didn't want to comment because it was not nice for people who stuck in here, but to be honest this sort of rns right just before the presentation doesn't do any good anymore, people learnt the tricks now, somehow I feel these kinds of presentations is meaningless...

We need real data and my concerned is that I am not even sure if VAL201 has completed phase i/ii yet or still some more to do before they can wrap up, I hope it is not the latter otherwise I feel sorry for the long term holders as this trials has been going for almost 6 years...anyway, let hope the data from val201 would be good otherwise Satu and Gearge have been discussing with big boys and girls for at least 7-9 years before I heard this years ago from an interview with Satu, it is nothing new.

You cannot act like that when only 2 hours ago you prposed C Odey to run for CEO. You're better to run fast...they are chasing you...

You sold your shares and now you act like an expert, I made more than 200% profit in euz just few days ago and I didn't even say a word when I sold. Same on here, I did tell people over there when I bought in and at what price. Have good day.

Jm1973, of course you can be lucky to buy in at 249 and I do believe that. It happened to me once before with aim company which I cannot remember the company name, after a good news announced the sp kept rocketing and the next day it still went up and I decided to sell some for profit, my sell was put into negotiated trade, I was a bit disappointed because I thought they would give me a cheap price, about 5mins later the trade went through and it turned out I got the highest sell value before the price went down again. We get lucky sometime...

then oiltap is one of the best person to learn from.

It is best to ignore applegarth, this poster just wants people to buy in for his/her benefit and reckless...2 weeks ago this poster predicted this share would go up to 2p in 2 weeks time and now looks at the sp.

At the end of day it doesn't matter which broker you use, live price should be the same across the board at any point. If you want to know live price it is best to do a dummy trade of £100 or £1000.

zccax77, yoou keep responding to my post but you don't seem to read properly. I said that I bought in this share based on recommendation from one of my friends, he is very reliable but he is not correct all the time, he looks for oversold stocks. But if the stock keeps losing value then why would you want to sit tight and see your investment shrinking....

But you should not take what I said as negative, why would you want to see your investment losing 90% in value and do nothing, I did not have the gut to sell when my investments lost over 20-30% in value and the result was I lost almost £150K. Everyone always think their share is under valued otherwise what is the point of staying with the share for. But if it keeps losing value then we need to question why a ftse200 company allows it to lose billion of £££ or over 90% in one year, that is why I said I will pull out if I drop to 250 because I have a limit to lose and won't let free fall like before again...But we hope this share will recover as I have shares in here...

That is why I say I would pull out if the shorters keep playing with this share or the company keeps losing its value, if you know the share will continue to lose its value why would you want to be in or wait for, you would be better to stay out and wait for them to finish then buy back.

cuddothisnow , we all do what we feel right I just passed on my experienced of what I went through and will not make the same mistake again, but the same like yourself I hope the company would do better because I bought some more today. You can blame the shorters as much as you like but one thing you need to keep remind yourself is that you cannot sit there and watch the company slowly and constantly losing value, that was what I did over the years for doing nothing, you can always buy back and recoup your lost when the sentiment is better...

Hi everyone, I started to invest/trade since 2009 at the time when the financial market was crashing and I invested mostly in FTSE100 like barclays, lloyds, glaxowellcome...and made a bit of money. But since 2011 I concentrated on aim market only because I wanted multi-bags...and up to about 3 years ago I lost about £150K so I decided to stop trading/investing until now. The lesson I learnt over the years was that if I was not greedy like sell if I made 20-30% profit or sell if I lost 20-30% then I believed I would still in profit or would not have lost a lot of money, many times I was in 100% profit but did not sell because I wanted more then slowly all my profit disappeared and got in deep red .

To be honest, I do not expect a FTSE200 company to have lost 90% in value within one year but I bought in few days ago based on a recommendation from my friend. I have seen many posters on here in like 90% paper lost, it reminded me of the days I was in the same position like many of you here....

If I have an advice for anyone on here then I would say do not sit there and watch if you are deep in red, move on and look for better one. I mentioned on here few days ago that I bought in at 269 and today I bought some more at 258, but if this one drop to 250 then I will sell and move on, in one year this company has lost billions of £££, it cannot be right. I wish you all the best with your investment.

and I am happy with the price I got, 269, but I could not help to keep thinking that many people on here must be in deep red on paper, huge loss for the company within one year from 3000 to 270. I hope it will get better soon for long term holders...
