Now it's 10% discount to nav. Biog should now be buying their own shares back, let's see.....

[hutch_pod] 04/1/2017 15:40

Still a bit of a discount actually esp with the continuing US biotech rallies, for the moment anyway.

[philo124] 04/1/2017 10:27

IBT has narrowed as well to 10%.

Any ideas as to why the share is now trading around its NAV. For the last few years the share has been trading at a discount to its NAV of about 5% ?

So with Brexit and US Elections done and dusted, maybe a few months of mergers, acquisitions and cancer treatment successes can see this move quickly up to £8 especially now no government meddling in price structures. A great day!

I think we deserve today after enduring the last year or so...

Cracking timing. Esp as seemed most of the Clinton bad news was baked in already

[harry the haddock] 09/11/2016 16:01

once in a blue moon bit of good timing!

[philo124] 09/11/2016 15:44

Well done!

[harry the haddock] 09/11/2016 15:42

especially when i bought yesterday at 630!

[philo124] 09/11/2016 15:34

Happy day.

Great, thanks.

Interesting to note that Bio bought back 285k shares @7.10 on Friday. And today news of 2 mega deals in the sector with potential chinese buyers. Onwards and upwards...

[philo124] 03/7/2016 11:10

Holding up well.

[hutch_pod] 05/2/2016 10:56

Oh dear. Biotech going down the drain. Needs some stimulation from somewhere.

I count three on the chart I posted a link to:

1. 50 Day EMA breach of 100 day EMA: September 2015
2. 50 Day EMA breach of 200 day EMA: October 2015
3. 100 Day EMA breach of 200 day EMA: Late October 2015

Personally, (2) would have had me out of here at just shy of £7.50 per share if I'd held. Would recommend taking a look at death crosses on Gold in 2013. Personally I think these signals are a great trend change risk management tool that can get you out of the way of the worst of a long bear phase, but each to their own...

[robotface] 28/1/2016 16:05

Lowest point in 12 mo

[philo124] 21/1/2016 17:00

Agree, very good lth. But I have traded a few, usually reaches a high towards the end of july.

[earthmanian] 21/1/2016 13:51

No death crosses here Jimbo. When you come back in 6 months this is just as likely to be back to £8. It's a very volatile world though, Brexit, Democrats, and all that. If I had more to buy in at these prices, I would add to my 7000 without a doubt. Biotech offers the promise of cures for cancer, dementia, arthritis and much much more, and with ever ageing populations with money to spend, and its not dependant on Brent crude.

Money down the drain looking at this chart:

hxxp://www.stockopedia.com/charts/technical/?Code=LON:BIOG&Span=360&Size=L&Type=3&Percentage=0&Volume=1&OVER[]=&OVER[]=&Scale=1&COMP[]=&COMP[]=&COMP[]=&COMP[]=&COMP[]=&IND[]=Vol&IND[]=RSI&IND[]=MACD&IND[]=SStoch&MA[]=50&MA[]=100&MA[]=200&MAType[]=EMA&MAType[]=EMA&MAType[]=EMA&uniqueID=600&endDate=2016-01-20

RSI and stochastic are pointing towards a short term bounce, but EMAs have convincingly death crossed and this trust's shareprice is now in a downtrend. Placing this on a watchlist and will revisit in 6 months time for another look. Got no in-depth knowledge of this sector but am always interested in bargain hunting in bombed out sectors that everybody hates (such as Gold and Uranium mining). Biotech is not there yet, but it looks like the pain is beginning...
