Perhaps it's not a problem with Harpin, but simply a reflection of relatively high global grain stocks. Farmers may not see the point of boosting yields when grain prices are relatively low.

This really quashes the CEO's 2009 report and our take on things. In 2009 he said amongs other things about Harpin: (from memory Monsanto had taken enough for 10 Mill acres)

The 2009 Harpin purchases by Monsanto are to support their roll-out of Roundup Ready 2 Yield soybeans for 2010 planting in North America. Soybeans were planted on 76 million acres in North America this year, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, and consequently there is significant growth potential for use on this crop in North America alone. We are also working closely with Monsanto towards rolling-out Harpin in other markets and on the other crops covered by their contract over the next few years.

Sounds like the market does not like Harpin then. Monsanto have 50% over stock for 2010. To boot clearly other channels never opened up.

We could be looking at sub £1, this may join the ranks of the penny shares of other like AIM listed plant care manufacturers. However clearly one of the only ones thats actualy made significant progress......but that said is this a product thing, maybe farmers simply dont like the product???

Explains the excessive fall recently, how foolish of me to have thought there was a prefectly reasonable explanation for it. Clearly there were people closer to the company privy to the information who were able to dump weeks ago.

luckily i got out near the peak at 270p. At the time i thought these would be bid for.. Had a few futergene at the end which did well... pin are weak again... Strange sector ... imho

[envirovision] 16/6/2010 11:28

Yes thats taken away a bag full of confidence for sure, certainly wont justify a premium now, you could be right, i'm out.

[targatarga] 16/6/2010 11:24

not good.... will probably fall further ....

[envirovision] 14/6/2010 14:53

moving on, buying back ip rights for Myconate leaves the company free to pursue other deals for Myconate. Seemed a very positive step imo.

[envirovision] 14/6/2010 13:38

Stale bulls. Was hoping it would fall sub 1.80 for a bit, but does not look like it so have taken plunge back in with a 2500 buy this afternoon.

[cnx] 14/6/2010 13:23

any ideas on last weeks drop in sp?

[envirovision] 03/6/2010 10:57

amazed to see this hit 2.40 after that IC tip, looking for a re-entry point soon. Wondre if 1.80 will get breached again.

[cnx] 20/5/2010 08:16

two interesting announcements re funding and collaberation agreements on the PHC thread. we could be in the right industry

[mdrans1] 10/5/2010 10:44

Myconate is in the news again. Could it be that the IP agreement with Bayer (RNS 26 April) has unlocked some initiatives? Maybe there are more in the pipeline.

[koolio] 03/3/2010 17:01

A tip from IC is just about as good of a sell signal as you can get.

[investinggarden] 02/3/2010 11:57

Speculative Buy rating from Growth Company Investor

[envirovision] 01/3/2010 09:48

[koolio] 25/2/2010 17:46

Bloody glad I didn't take that bite of PIM.
It would have chocked me, with what they have done today.

[envirovision] 25/2/2010 12:07

Last post, cause i fink im going mad erm talking to merself.
RNS Number : 2043H Plant Health Care PLC 16 February 2010

Health Care plc ("the Company")
Dual Listing on Channel Islands Stock Exchange.................

Albert Fischer, Chairman, commented: "Importantly, it will also bring the Company within the governance of the UK Takeover Panel."



Now my take on this is that its good long term protection as it will stop a couple of fund managers and a couple of sharks getting together and taking out the company for something stupid like 2.50 or 3.00. I wouldn't like to put a value on things but im sure its well north of 100% current shareprice.

So todays news is a good safe guard for the future for us IMO.

[envirovision] 16/2/2010 16:32

So apart from small army of savvy fund managers and institutions holding Plant Health, am I the only retail investors about?

[envirovision] 15/2/2010 10:20

Only one wat this is heading now. £3 short term would be ok imo.

[envirovision] 15/2/2010 07:56

RNS Results out
