Its the half year end, Q2 end, start of the summer holidays next week in the US... I think its a seasonal dip type thing.

Don't worry about MTFB, the next round of news on the Revive 2 trial will be along in under a fortnight, it'll see 40p again before the end of July (imo). What happens after that is slightly less clear, seems the market doesn't particularly like the idea of them going into full commercialisation on their own, one of the reasons the current price is being suppressed, and there is another set of trials which aren't as yet funded to fully open the door to world wide sales, but you can bet as soon as I get out (my target is 50p) it'll rocket, the science is good and incredibly valuable.
I have no skin in the game with this, but would suggest that this is a dangerous attitude to investment. Assuming that you know more about the news to come than the market does suggests hope rather than a rational approach.

Like I say, makes no difference to me either way, good luck with your investment etc and don't forget shares are there to be bought and sold and not to get married to!

MTFB looks really promising to be honest, I'll ask around at work if any of the scientists has an opinion on the new drug and the likelihood of ifs success.


What's the lowest you're expecting their stock to reach?

I'm a patient long game sort of a guy, isn't that the way to invest properly for real profits, buy into the right company and hold? That's what all the advice suggests for PIs like us.

Here is Motif's latest presentation from the Infectious Disease conference last week (that must be a right barrel of laughs!). I don't know more than the market, I do know what the company has set out to achieve and their record thus far on delivery, which is excellent.

Full FDA approval and full commercialisation won't be on the cards until 2019 and I don't think this share will reach full price until then, unless big pharma step in and buy it out sooner, that price will be well over £1 imo.

MTFB.L down 12% to £0.26 this morning so would need an almost 100% bump to get up to £0.50.

That's not to bag anything you're saying Fred (as I am invested, at a level above the current price) but it looks like it'll be a long road!

Any news that I've missed?

For those of you in MTFB - have any of you looked at the biotech Scancell "SCLP" working in Immuno Oncology?

There was a short write up in the Telegraph and Independent yesterday.

The IO space is very interesting but still in it's infancy - depending on which analyst you read/take seriously the IO market will grow to be very significant 35-50Bn per year.

There was an RNS earlier this week to disclose Aviva upping their stake from 7million share to 9million, I'm not sure if this was to maintain their position after the new placing at the start of the month, there was some talk on LSE that it was Aviva pulling back in shares they had out on loan - if that's true I'd have expected a short squeeze which hasn't happened as the price has continued to fall. Looks as if some of the shares taken on the placement have been flipped for quick profit - but I'd also expect those guys to be buying back in pretty soon.

Call it market shennanigans or manipulation - call it what you like, AIM shares do this I understand, the Revive2 trial data will be out within a few weeks and I don't think there is any doubt it'll be positive and inline with Revive1 - then it's just a waiting game for the business to get either geared for commercial launch or bought out.

Obviously I could be completely deluded, please people - do your own research.

Edit - This from Amphion - one of Motif's largest VC funders, they're not going through a good period themselves but sounding bullish on the future for Motif, they would say that wouldn't they, I accept that.

Bought into ukog on Mondays spike at 2.30p. Thought it was a mistake but just ticking over into a profit now. Been blue for 4-5 days and waiting news that could push it further.

Regards MTFB I'm also in that but news is not necessarily due in 'a few weeks' could be any time in the second half of the year. Wish I'd sold it on that one day spike to 40p last month as could have bought in far lower at any point since.

Hi chaps,

I'm after a bit of advice if thats ok?

I own a few grands worth of stock in Nintendo through the Halifax. I found out yesterday that Nintendo has now moved to the German floor market but Halifax does not deal on this market.

I can sell my shares via Halifax over the phone if I wish but thats it.

I would like to transfer my shares to a different broker as I would like to also purchase more.

I have not had to do this sort of thing before. Can anyone recommend rated a broker that trades on the German Floor Market that I can transfer my business to?

Thanks very much.

MTFB.L having a bit of a recovery today, though pulling back a bit from first thing.

SXX.L taken a bit of a hammering the last couple of days.

I trade foreign shares through TDDirect but I haven't looked at the German markets.

Anyone with Barclays Stockbrokers? Just had a lovely little pack through the post informing me that their charges are changing. Now instead of £18 every 6 months and £11.95 a trade, it's £16.99 a month and £6 a trade. How very good of them to half the cost of a trade... I barely trade on the account so I'm approaching £200 a year down in charges with the new deal. Not a lot in the scheme of it, but out of principle I'm not paying them more for doing nowt.

Not sure what to do about it, I'm guessing moving brokers will be a ball ache?

I set my buy order @28.75, might drop below that but should be a decent profit in the long run.

I don't think we'll see the buy price sub 30p again, this week has been weird, the Aviva thing (anyone who understands these things fully I'd love to know what that RNS was about), the warrants being exercised, the hangover from the fund raising... There has been lots of "market" stuff going on, whatever happened on tues and weds is now done and the daily swing has tightened right up (there was a couple of very big flash crashes earlier in the week) and the buys are vastly out weighing the sells again... That's just my untrained opinion, wishing you good luck anyway.

Been following Blue Jay for weeks to track it and look for an opportunity to buy in, that looks to have taken off too.

The market has closed for today already, I might order some tomorrow morning then before I miss the train.

Thank you for the detailed explanation, much appreciated.

SXX dipped under 30p this morning, I wonder if it'll get bought back up or not? It was my trigger to buy back in again but I'm not sure now.

Yeah, more heavy drops today... Talk of it dropping further but fundamentals still seem there and there was a positive AGM recently.

Thought being in the FTSE250 would bring more 'stability'. I guess people are wary that completion is a long way off.

I am exactly the same. Can you actually transfer shares or would we have to sell any we have with Barclays and buy them with the new one?

I have an unusual question for you lot who know what you are talking about.
A share I have quite a lot of was suspended yesterday due to a reverse-takeover approach.
I have two questions really
1) When these things happen, how long is it usually before they un-suspend?
2) Currently my share portal suggests I still can trade in them but with huge spreads i.e. it suggests I can sell at 63p and buy at 93p. I haven't actually tried to do it because I don't want to, but is it correct I can still buy and sell despite this 'suspension'?
Cheers

Those prices are probably just an IT glitch - if it's suspended, then it's suspended and not tradeable.

How long it takes is hard to gauge but it shouldn't be months, may be weeks. What's the company?

Same here. One trade per quarter used to get the fees waived. Now £200pa.

Also I'll need to carry the pin sentry card reader and debit card to do things it seems.

And they're removing dealing limits so it's all cash up front ...

I'm thinking about going back to certificates as most of my holdings are long long term
