It has quickly become the industry's leading resource - powered by trustworthy data, independent analysis and engaging events that attract a highly influential audience of policy makers, scientists and investors.

The nascent psychedelics' space is quickly being harnessed by a growing base of institutional investors seeking to establish and scale businesses in a landscape showing scientific and commercial promise.

· Psych's offering aims to capitalise on the following market dynamics:

· Numerous companies are currently creating training plans for psychedelic therapists, including the MIND Foundation and COMPASS Pathway;

· The United Nations (UN) Convention on Psychotropic Substances framework for the international control of psychotropic substances lists: Psilocybin, MDMA, DMT and LSD as Schedule I substances, the category indicating the least harm with medical application;

· Psilocybin therapy is expected to be a key driver in societal education and a contributor to wider reforms across America;

· MDMA-assisted therapy can take a strong market share from 2024;

· Capital invested in psychedelic companies is over US$2 billion; and

· The current value of medical businesses surpasses US$10 billion. For example, ATAI Life Sciences' initial public offering (IPO) last year made it the most valuable publicly-traded business in the sector, currently valued at US$595 million.

Placing

The Company has raised gross proceeds of £810k from the issue and allotment of 16,200,000 Placing Shares.

What are the main motivating factors of investors?

fear or greed?
in fact no...

- the answer is sociability.

fear and greed are around, but sociability is a constant driving characteristic of humanity. We want to be where our friends are or at least where others are who we can relate to on a daily basis. and it leads many to buy-sell what is popular, so that may rub off on us. It makes you feel good too.
Predators will also feed of the sociable of course.
That is balanced by positive posters who are more altruistic, helping witha dvice and maybe better skills than others.
Sociability creates the feel good factor. It is also a key to reassurance.
fear and greed, are real all right but are fleeting emotions. In fact once fear has been taken on board for some hours, the body and mind reject it and force alternative strategies . For example, selling shares even at a loss to get rid of the fear sensation.
Sociability drives us to favourite threads and to favourite shares.
Sociability kicks in from the moment we get up. Fear and greed, are not in the same league.
simple as that..

Thanks for your input.

We have looked at the other aspects you mention. I suppose I was looking for someone to say that the hearing panel was not qualified to put their interpretation on the incident and that it would not be normal behaviour to show aggression towards someone with your back towards them thus putting their decision in doubt.


Thanks for your time.

[mahamamsa] 28/10/2005 00:34

kanebill,

I suggest that this is a matter of Employment Law, a subject which I know very little about. And it would depend, I think, on your friend's circumstances, and the level of protection she has in her job. For example, has she been working in the job for long enough to give her protection against unfair dismissal? In terms of a court/tribunal, it's possible that a psychologist could be an expert witness - clearly screaming at computers is something that many of us do. Is your friend a member of a Trade Union? They would provide advice. What about the Citizen's Advice Bureau?

[joe moon] 27/10/2005 23:28

get your mate to tell her to drop the complaint or she will DIE in an accident...that usually works

[kanebill] 27/10/2005 23:11

Just to keep this live a little longer.

[kanebill] 27/10/2005 22:20

The real question, from the behavioural point of view, is "Is it normal behaviour to display aggression with your back to someone who is next to you?"

[kanebill] 27/10/2005 21:03

OK

I'll present the facts as known to me.


My friend was sitting at a computer trying to use an unfamiliar application/hardware setup and was having problems. She admits to swearing and making hand gestures but maintains that it was only a normal reaction to express her frustration. No threats or actions were directed towards the other person.

Th other person later made claims that the agressive gestures and inappropriate language were directed towards her. There was no other person present.

The hearing panel decided against my friend purely on the fact that she admitted making the gestures and the use of inappropriate language for which she has apologised.

I am trying to find out if their 'non expert' decision could be challenged.

[mahamamsa] 27/10/2005 20:50

In this case, given you've given no details, you don't need an expert's opinion. The answer is simple - YES, gestures that aren't seen CAN be 'legitimately construed as aggressive towards an individual'.

What if a person is blind? Does this mean that someone's gestures or language can't be construed as being aggressive, just because they can't be seen?

BTW I'm not a Chartered Psychologist, but I do have two degrees in psychology. Not that that's got any bearing on the validity of my answer, because as I've said, given the information you've divulged, the answer is clearly yes. Though if you are looking for an expert, maybe it's a lawyer that's needed, not a psychologist?

[kanebill] 27/10/2005 20:43

I can make my own judgements - I need an expert opinion. Someones job depends on it.

[mahamamsa] 27/10/2005 20:33

kanebill,

Put it another way:

'If you're on the telephone... can your gestures or language be legitimately construed as aggressive towards an individual?'

Even more so if you're in close physical proximity.

Of course it depends what has been said, and what the context was.

If the person said 'I'm going to to smash your head in', that would be definitely aggressive.

If the person said 'I'm going to the sports shop to buy a cricket bat' that would depend on the context.

[kanebill] 27/10/2005 20:16

Last resort. Advice required urgently as stated above. Is anybody out there qualified (or know of anyone) to help provide information to assist a friend in a disciplinary hearing. It is a one line question with a conditional follow-up.

If you have your back to someone, with no eye contact, can your gestures or language be legitimately construed as aggressive towards an individual?

If yes;

Could someone without expert opinion be considered an able person to make that judgement?.

[goatbreath] 14/6/2002 18:12

I'm not convinced about rule 3. Provided you haven't deviated from your system and provided that your system has a positive expectation then it would be unwise to ignore any trading signals generated by it. If you do, you are extending the amount of time it will take to recoup losses.

[nc] 10/6/2002 17:06

Read something recently - a piece of text that someone claimed to read before each day's trading. Can't remember exactly how it went, but it contained something along the lines of:

- ... remember you are biologically and socially programmed
to fail at this game ...

These two may relate more to my own trading difficulties:

- you are most vulnerable after you have had a series of winning trades
- stay away from the 1 minute chart

Losos

In the order form we have, there is an option to deliver to an address other than the registered c.c. address (usually home), but people may not appreciate why office delivery can be better - avoids couriers turning up at private addresses and leaving a card. Good idea of yours to remind them in the auto-email acknowledgement.

[bookshop] 20/4/2002 10:34

The courier/Royal Mail issue is a vexed one. The problem with Royal Mail is that they keep losing things. It's much worse now than it was a year ago. With low value items, we can take it on the chin, but once we get above £50 or the weight of the parcel is above 2kg, it is a lot cheaper and safer to send by courier.

As you've pointed out, couriers have their own problems, because if you're not home when they call, you get one of their wretched cards.

I think what we'll do is put something in our auto acknowledgment email which is sent out to customers saying "You package is going to be sent by courier. They need a signature. Is anyone going to be at home tomorrow. If not, please email us before 3pm today." That way, at least you've got a chance of avoiding the problem.

Anyway, I'm sorry it was such a hassle for you. If you ping me an email ([e-mail]) I'll send you back a £5 electronic voucher to use on another book (which will be sent by Royal Mail!)
