jimmywalkden, couldn't have put it better.

Does clarification over some of these allegations give this blog credence or give shareholders confidence in the company. Put it this way I would not have purchased stock last week at about current levels if I had seen this. It might be concocted nonsense with intense bias however it is better quality than many of these bash blogs and although I haven't had time to investigate the validity of the supporting documents it raises enough questions to be a red light without a rebuttal. I am sitting tight but hoping the company , primarily the independent directors are working hard in the background to ascertain the full facts and respond..by saying nothing is the company in a position where they cannot dispute things raised? Knowing Dr Marom I would imagine he is furious and will be trying to track down the author and look at legal action...but he will need to substantiate a response to the independent board and advisors first I reckon and then the shareholders before going down that route imho.

The best statement the company can make will be a trading update and results, both of which I believe are imminent. There have been posters who have questioned Zvi's ability to run this company on this board which I have always felt were grossly unfair. Over the years I have watched with great interest as he and the board have taken this company through very troubled times to where it is now, very well positioned in key future marketplaces with products in demand that will be highly cash generative while also investing in future product lines in these fields to maintain a pipeline of future developments. While it may not have been as quick as some would like I think this reflects the determination to build a company that is both secure currently and sustainable in the future both of which appear to have been achieved admirably.

In the interests of full disclosure I have no links to the company other than being a long term private investor in their shares.

At these prices I will look to buy a few more. I also don't expect to see any public comment from bvc on some blog written by ratty the rat.

[kooba] 07/2/2022 08:28

I purchased a small amount last week before seeing this piece. I have been invested before and was involved in the initial IPO. So followed for quite a while now! Hoping for some company response as don't feel I can buy any more without some clarity.

[nellyb] 07/2/2022 08:07

koomba, are you a bvc shareholder?

[kooba] 07/2/2022 08:00

Well it is a bear raid and I doubt they gave Dr Marom notice as non of this was passed over the company before publication! However it has been around and I am sure that shareholders have contacted the company and whilst not recognising this as research a comment relating to market rumours or misleading information on social media could be made. The accusations are fairly widespread and implicate improper dealings by the CEO himself..so i would expect them to be doing an internal assessment by the independent NEDs ..but they cannot allow this to be out there unchallenged for long as it is doing reputational damage as it spreads. Unfortunately if this is just a hit piece with highly inaccurate content by time they rebuke it permanent damage may be done I guess.

If it is a bear raid, BATM could and should have said "we see no reason for the fall in the share price"

MAR(47) The manipulation or attempted manipulation of financial instruments may also consist in disseminating false or misleading information. The spreading of false or misleading information can have a significant impact on the prices of financial instruments in a relatively short period of time. It may consist in the invention of manifestly false information, but also the wilful omission of material facts, as well as the knowingly inaccurate reporting of information. That form of market manipulation is particularly harmful to investors, because it causes them to base their investment decisions on incorrect or distorted information. It is also harmful to issuers, because it reduces the trust in the available information related to them. A lack of market trust can in turn jeopardise an issuer's ability to issue new financial instruments or to secure credit from other market participants in order to finance its oper­ ations. Information spreads through the market place very quickly. As a result, the harm to investors and issuers may persist for a relatively long time until the information is found to be false or misleading, and can be corrected by the issuer or those responsible for its dissemination. It is therefore necessary to qualify the spreading of false or misleading information, including rumours and false or misleading news, as being an infringement of this Regulation. It is therefore appropriate not to allow those active in the financial markets to freely express information contrary to their own opinion or better judgement, which they know or should know to be false or misleading, to the detriment of investors and issuers.(48) Given the rise in the use of websites, blogs and social media, it is important to clarify that disseminating false or misleading information via the internet, including through social media sites or unattributable blogs, should be considered, for the purposes of this Regulation, to be equivalent to doing so via more traditional communication channels.

I think we need to forget about shifty the rats blog and move on. It is an obvious attempt to short, is it a surprise that the report is slanted because the blogger has taken a short stance on the company? The attempt to sway novice investors like some of those on here is quite amusing. It is either that or they hold short positions themselves and are putting in a last laughable attempt at slandering BATM's reputation with false information and misrepresentation.

[nellyb] 06/2/2022 15:46

shifty the rat, i'll pass on that one then.

[donald pond] 06/2/2022 14:19

Shifty the rat on twitter has written a piece. I think he was in a previous life Barney the Snail and was at that point focussed entirely on claiming BUR was a fraud, and that he "knew" it was. Then he disappeared for a couple of years but is back. I've always assumed he is in cahoots with some shorting outfit but who knows. That's also not a reason to totally dismiss his words, just what I think - without any evidence - is the backdrop.

[nellyb] 06/2/2022 13:36

can you provide a link?

[tradeterminator01] 06/2/2022 12:08

Cant believe the amount of misinformation in the recent blog that has been posted in a clear attempt to short this stock, is actually laughable. It is a clearly biased report to serve the purpose of short position. Is it being funded by German based Ennismore who have a short position on BATM and last year got burnt by taking a short position and lost millions. By the looks of things, the short has come to a close but we will have to see what happens tomorrow. In my opinion this is a great opportunity to ride the wave and buy the dip.

HOMEBOY Is a shorter I know him from other sites.

[ghaon] 05/2/2022 16:44

homeboy - looking at your posting history there is a whiff of you being a serial shorter....

[deeker] 04/2/2022 22:44

Did mention a week ago that this looked like it was heading back to pre pandemic 40/50 range. Didn't expect it to be this quick though but obviously recent index issues have introduced a bit of panic.

[steeplejack] 04/2/2022 19:17

I purchased around March 2020 and took profits on the way up .Then got tempted back in rather foolishly.Purchased Novacyt around the same time and did well to sell out and NOT return.I first bought this stock back in the late 1990s before the tech boom when everything went up.Its always been a chequered ride with this one.Frankly,these stocks are stressful compared with having a holding in Apple,Nividia or Thermo Scientific .You’re better off seeking opportunities in the NASDAQ.

[nellyb] 04/2/2022 18:58

latifs - you say "i got in at £1.45, how much cash and debt levels, thanks". can i suggest you have a peek on the batm website? ;)

[nellyb] 04/2/2022 18:54

stepplejack, you say "I've made good money here over the years..." How the heck did you do that? The share-price was preety much stagnate until about 6/7 months ago. Honest question.

[fse] 04/2/2022 16:55

>steeplejack.... That article you posted made the rounds a couple of days ago. Its incomplete and does not even mention Telco Systems. Designed to whip up the shorting fever which is in overdrive.

>latifs.... Company has an excellent cash position thats why they announced dividends and share buy backs. They develop everything in house and have no debt.

[fse] 04/2/2022 16:43

Well we are due any day now to get a trading update and announcement as to when year end results will be published. The company announcing a dividend and then a large share buy back hardly equates with weakness.
In previous years we were given a snapshot of how the company sees the year ahead.
Surprised ST on Investors Chronicle has not commented on this, probably wants to see year end guidance ...
