More than happy to see the weak hands abandoning ship!

[coolhandfluke] 12/3/2018 09:38

YTI recon that will always be the case.

Coolhand

so MagC is more right than Stig.

[coolhandfluke] 12/3/2018 09:26

YTIf it takes as long to execute it as it does to decide on it we are all doomed.

[yuletea] 12/3/2018 09:18

without a new strategy, the business is worth 30p to 40p, so MagC is right, there is 20-40% downside potential.

with a strategy to exploit the IP, this could be a 10 to 20 bagger, so Stig is right too.

The questions are how much will it cost and how long will it take to execute the strategy?

It will take more than the current infrastructure and resources to create a £50m company so a fund raise must be a possibility.

correct as many have noted the tax losses (and the tax shield they would provide to any acquirers earnings) alone are worth more than the market cap

[semper vigilans] 12/3/2018 08:58

Those tax losses are worth a few quid to someone too.

Bones your point about the former CEO buying a chunk is a fair one.... my worry would be if it is part of a move to take AOR private by delisting... the market cap and income here is very low to justify listing costs... they need to turn the company around to stay listed IMO... hopefully they will!

[the stigologist] 11/3/2018 22:24

Well one thing we do know is that plenty of people are looking in at AorTech right now. Some people are so interested they have increased their posting rate by 100-400% !
I expect the share price interest to increase similarly.

[bones] 11/3/2018 21:24

Stig, I don't think yuletea was agreeing with MagC but he didn't use " " marks when quoting him so it's not clear which part of his post is his own...!At least that's how I read him.

[the stigologist] 11/3/2018 20:44

Funny now yuletea pops up from nowhere (only ever posts on AOR, only 4 posts ever) and amazingly by coincidence agrees with MagC.

Strange how these long term shareholders who only want the best for AOR did not see fit to speak at any other time as the stock moved from 10p to 70p in the last 12 months

[yuletea] 11/3/2018 16:49

Thanks Bones, sounds like Eddie McDaid knows what is going on and has more confidence than MagC.

[bones] 11/3/2018 16:10

Yuletea, the more recent ex-CEO, Eddie McDaid, increased his shareholding to > 10% recently (but before the Foldax/Maguire settlement was announced). McDaid is close to the company so for me I am assured by his confidence that there is substance to AOR post the settlement.

[yuletea] 11/3/2018 15:42

MagC
I also have serious doubts over quality of management and concern as to whether the agenda they are following is to make management rich at the expense of making shareholders poor..

That was the situation during the Maguire era...

Perhaps the strategy now is to make shareholders richer and management should be incentivised to do so.

[the stigologist] 11/3/2018 15:01

Look forward to seeing you at the next AGM MagC

[hibberts] 11/3/2018 14:01

Magc

If your so concerned about the management why invest here in the first place why risk losing money.
Your posting record tells me you have an axe to grind with the company and most probably
an agenda.

[magc] 11/3/2018 13:08

I am a journalist recently retired. I know Aortech from many years ago. No fiction written, I am long the company but do not have tinted glasses and have fears that shares may be over priced. Hoping any pull back is short term and not a sellor, at the moment as I can afford to ride any storm, others may not be so fortunate hence the be afraid comment - you are investing in a minnow company which has probably risen in price too high too quickly. There could be a dramatic pull back. I also have serious doubts over quality of management and concern as to whether the agenda they are following is to make management rich at the expense of making shareholders poor..

[the stigologist] 11/3/2018 12:46

If you are Maguire as some have suggested should you be posting on this BB ?
Did any legal settlement not preclude you from badmouthing the Company ?
The Courts may not have had an opportunity to judge Maguire but the 'Court of Public Opinion' has it's own rules.

[the stigologist] 11/3/2018 12:27

Member since 2014 only ever posted 9 times. All on this thread.
Of the 9 posts 4 of them have come on 1 day (9th March 2018)

[investordave] 09/3/2018 18:01

3%? I very much doubt it.
