Looks rather good value at moment...in for a few more methinks

[geoffmanana] 04/4/2007 14:05

I am soooooooooo tempted to add.

[bruce meinhoff] 04/4/2007 12:42

Any tax sellers willing to let go of 20,000 at 73.25p would be most welcome right now. TVM.- Filled Thanks very much.

Looking at biotechs of the past,Cantab and the like,major pharmas taking stakes in the minnows is a fairly well established practice and doesn't preclude takeover.As geoffmanana comments,it's a way of keeping a finger on the pulse and costs chicken feed as far as the big players are concerned.

By the by,AIM stocks tend to suffer top slicing at the end of the tax year if they've been good performers without enjoying the offsetting inflows of ISA money.Of course ,once everyones been tucked in with their ISA the market often seems to retreat.Last 2 years the market has fallen some 10% over the summer months.

In my opinion Mike has made a good point.
#However as long as we all make loads of dosh,no opinion ventured is wasted.
Very good luck all.

[texicon] 04/4/2007 08:20

Geoff-I think you're right on both counts.Good luck.:-)

[geoffmanana] 04/4/2007 00:49

Not sure what you mean Mike.
If the directors were discusing takeover details at the moment that were at an advanced stage there is no way they could accept options at 75p or any other price.
However if the discusions were at a very early stage that may be different,I don't know.
Somehow I feel big pharmas just want a stake in the action for the time being.Just my opinion for what it is worth.I hope I am right because that would mean there is more mileage in the share price as we move forward.

[mike111d] 03/4/2007 20:58

Not in my book, it would mean that the options would vest immediately were an offer made and the company taken over. In my experience, that is a fairly standard term for executive stock options.

[texicon] 03/4/2007 20:55

Director buys-Doesn't that mean no takeovers for the next few months?

[mike111d] 03/4/2007 20:17

The issue of options and purchase of shares could well be a precursor to further news IMHO. Should be an interesting few weeks.

[digger27] 03/4/2007 19:56

phil - lets hope it stays like that tomorrow...not the spread that is but the offer!!!

[philipsaxon] 03/4/2007 17:23

any reason why there's a spread of 20p for SPA on hoodless brennan at the moment? to buy its 99p!

[digger27] 03/4/2007 15:23

That's a lot of dosh so he must be confident and can't be accused of preferential treatment.
Yep roll on next tax year as the mm's seem to marking everything down for the sheer hell of it....most of mine are showing buys outweighing sells but what do I know?

[geoffmanana] 03/4/2007 15:08

The option price of 75p is excellent......normally would have been set much lower than the current price.As you say c c this surely must be good news.
Roll on next week and into the new tax year.

[chicken charlie] 03/4/2007 12:35

We are on the MOVE.

[3frog] 03/4/2007 10:56

Must be a positive sign.

[chicken charlie] 03/4/2007 10:44

RNS
Ian Ross has bought 100000 shares and five directors have been awarded 200000 options at 75p this surely must be good news.i'm surprised this has'nt altered the share price but it wii do when everybody wakes up.

[geoffmanana] 03/4/2007 09:46

I think we need to move into the next tax year before we see another jump imho.
Too much profit taking from 16p.

[digger27] 03/4/2007 00:26

Have you been lonely 3frog? Been too depressed to post so went out into the garden for a spot of weeding and left my portfolio to fall on its own without me watching it do so. Lots of mine down today for no reason I can see apart that AIM stocks seem to be so easy to manipulate, not that any skullduggery ever goes on -lol.
Probably more of the same tomorrow as mm's use tax year end for an excuse to scare a few more into selling. Not to worry coz I really have faith in SPA to do the business especially as they are talking to 10 companies so wont be long between RNS's I reckon.
Rant over and weeding almost done so I shall be out tomorrow if the weather holds.

[3frog] 02/4/2007 21:47

yes geoff, just read it on the tinternet, thx aglenn.

[geoffmanana] 02/4/2007 19:23

Thanks Aglenn.....Is that the London Evening Standard?
If so I used to buy that on my way home from work before I retired up here to Norfolk.
That should help tomorrow.

[aglenn] 02/4/2007 18:22

Artice in Evening Standard tonight about SR talking to 10 companies. Alo mentions bigger pharmas being nterested.

Buzzzzzzz I do agree with you....glad I'm in

[buzzzzzzzz] 02/4/2007 18:03

Aglenn

Not ramping.

Posting facts the were for some reason not put in the RNS.

People have sold out at 75p or less and will struggle to buy in at less than that. So they won't be making much profit.

Won't be long before we have another assault at 80p!

[aglenn] 02/4/2007 15:58

Very true 3frog...still I was hoping for a move towards 80 today...patience not being one of my strong points. Shame I don't day trade because profits could have been taken last week..I got in late at 70p
