Yes I read you TM loud and clear remember I am riding in the same boat,recession is coming to America due to foul plays by Trump,Chinese are waiting for revenge.

1645p ….. soo tempting to buy, I'd normally be IN by now, but the global bond markets are signalling a US recession. I think you could be right, abdullla.


I'm totally liquid (have been for nearly a month), had the feeling of over exposure!!

[abdullla] 15/8/2019 09:22

To buy wait for a massive crash which maybe inevitable,sit on your money keep it warm

Personally I have been a little bit overweight in GSK for some time, so thinking it may be a bit toppy at this level, I sold 10% of my holding first thing this morning and added the proceeds to my existing LGEN holding, just to bring a little bit more balance to my portfolio.

Unfortunately, LGEN down 2.8% on the day, but GSK only down 1.45%

Timing is everything eh?

Best wishes to all in these difficult market conditions.

Maybe tomorrow when there is more of the same

[tradermichael] 14/8/2019 16:21

Difficult not to buy today!

GSK.

Trump trade talks with UK will likely encompass healthcare and pharma.

Now wouldn't GSK just be a fine conduit for a mega US pharma company to gain real traction in the UK.

Who knows.....


Certainly the potential bride appears to be shedding a few pounds and getting herself in shape.......

Just speculating......


ALL IMO. DYOR.

-------- Another new test for Alzheimer's using SKIN ---------

2nd-Aug-2019

Scientist receives major grant for diagnosis of Alzheimer's, Parkinson's via new skin test


This fits in with the title for my thread header , that one can catch Alzheimer's from another person because it is a prion disease

AND

Those same prions are present on the skin of a person suffering from Alzheimer's , most likely IMO in an advanced state.

----- Dementia became the BIGGEST KILLER IN THE UK in 2016 -----


And it has got worse and been the biggest killer ever since - buywell is NOT in the least bit surprised - here is why:


Dementia becomes Britain’s biggest killer - The Telegraph


Dementia and Alzheimer’s are now the biggest cause of death in England and Wales after jumping by a fifth in a single year, official figures show.




Alzheimer's is the most common form of Dementia ( which is NOT a disease in itself).


Dementia is the name for a GROUP OF DISEASES


"Alzheimer's disease is a type of dementia and, together with vascular dementia, makes up the vast majority of cases."





ONCE you can accept the fact that


''Alzheimer's is the most common type of dementia. ''





THEN you can focus on the fact that ALZHEIMER's is now the BIGGEST killer in the UK and has been for the last 3 years

AND it is getting worse


PLUS at present Health Services around the world do NOT have a piece of valid test equipment that they can use to test a live patient to see if they have Alzheimer's.


Sure PET brain scans are used in many cases BUT this equipment is very costly and in use for a variety of different diseases and ailments .

A DEDICATED SIMPLE easy and quick piece of test equipment to test for Alzheimer's does NOT YET EXIST.



The present Alzheimer's diagnosis is IMO therefore the most part purely subjective as many patients do NOT have a PET scan



Things are now happening and soon a test will be able to be performed





In other words IF there was a piece of 99% accurate test equipment for Alzheimer's then IMO numbers of Alzheimer's cases will ROCKET EVEN HIGHER


Currently there is test equipment that claims to be able to detect Alzheimer's with pretty impressive accuracy



You will notice the test looks at Amyloid Beta protein as in my header plus
'That analysis could then be combined with two other major Alzheimer’s risk factors – age and the presence of the genetic variant APOE4 – to accurately identify the relevant changes in the brain.'


buywell has also posted on APOE4 see on his AZN thread



NOW COMES THE PROBLEM



IF Health Authorities go along with the presence of Amyloid Beta Protein , TAU protein and APOE4 being used as determinants of Alzheimer's --- Then it opens up a whole can of worms in the current arguments that these three protein determinants are in fact capable of becoming prion proteins when they get themselves misshapen .

Arguably from that point on:


Alzheimer's has to be classified as a prion disease

Which means it is transmissible , and always fatal with no cure.

Which is why no drug has ever been found to treat it despite around $ 100 Billions of monies being spent in the last 20 to 30 years by BIG PHARMA's trying to create one.


No cure exists for any forms of prion diseases --- animal or human.

Lets see who buys here first I dare you .

[xxxxxy] 09/8/2019 12:36

Unsure. As price hasn't moved upwards too much for years. And years.

[tradermichael] 09/8/2019 12:15

Impressive show of strength here - gained on xd day and now heading for 1700p+ again? I wish I was IN ……. ;o)

[helpaargh] 09/8/2019 09:22

Love the quarterly divis.

[abdullla] 08/8/2019 15:00

Looks as the days of trading GSK shares for quick profits have gone,no more cheap shares for a fast buck,I see no bad news in sight either,but there is always Vodafone to consider but that would be gambling :)

[tradermichael] 08/8/2019 12:39

£1 = USD 1.21

[mr woodentop] 08/8/2019 09:06

that'll be the trump effect, not the ex divi effect

[abdullla] 08/8/2019 08:51

I think the ex div effect will take place after the Dow opens.

[bilster1] 08/8/2019 08:37

Same here - could be worse, you could be Neil Woodford this morning!

[tradermichael] 08/8/2019 08:28

Wish I did, but I didn't! I'll have to wait till they drop to 1639p to justify that decision! ;0)

[bilster1] 08/8/2019 08:26

Did you manage to go in for the divi?
