Problem with that scenario is that most scientists are really only interested in one thing. And that is science. Not the murky world of business.

Very, very few scientists ever become ever good businessmen.

And the very worst in my opinion are long-term academic scientists who try at some stage in their career to turn their hand to running a business. They can be fundamentally so used to receiving frequent free grants in their past academic research lives, that the real world of having to sell things to make profits is pretty much an alien world - and one they are not really interested in or well-suited to.

Furthermore some academics turned businessman may or may not think that frequently raising cash via Placements is a great way to substitute for those juicy grants they were so used to, with little concept, understanding or interest in the enormous impact on shareholders and the consequent resultant and egregious shareholder dilution.


Now, if you get a good scientist with a tough businessman controlling him and running the company, that can be a great combination and one only needs to think of the Jobs/Wozniak example.

But academic scientists running a company is , in my opinion, usually verging on being a business disaster zone.

You should all be praying to your spiritual leader Simon Thompson and begging him to write what you pray will be another upbeat promote piece on the co.
But just be careful of what you ask for.
When he drops a company he drops it like a stone.

A bit like you all should have done at 35p when I advised doing just that!!

Susie - I might buy some, got severely burnt when this came to market, KMK seem to be getting a little traction, and the cash situation not bad currently despite severe dilution over the years, just do not like the 40% fall in valuation over last few months. Market tells a story1

[susiebe] 20/11/2019 12:52

Businesmen with science backgrounds you mean.Just what you would expect.

[bookbroker] 20/11/2019 12:42

This is another company run by scientists, a little like IQE, way overvalued and will be raising more cash sooner rather than later!

[susiebe] 20/11/2019 12:27

Use the filter!Im very happy buying these cheap shares

[alangrifbang] 20/11/2019 11:44

And back to normal again.............

Does not justify such a rich market cap. This company is all about jam tomorrow.

[susiebe] 19/11/2019 15:21

Agree 100%, already in profit from this mornings buy.

[jdh1602] 19/11/2019 15:10

The MMs love to mess with a share price at a time like this. S&P potentially going into correction soon, GB election coming up, everyone nervous - great time to shake out holders at a low price just below support- witness the 6% drop, and reversal today. Bad time to sell.

[quepassa] 19/11/2019 14:57

It wouldn't surprise me if institutions don't start dumping soon and voluminously.

You see, it is so embarrassing for any fund manager at month/quarterly/year-end to have to show his bosses and his investors just how poorly any of his stock picks have been performing. And this one ......wow....

...better get the cash in, get the asset with the horrible loss out of sight, out of the way and out of the portfolio. Keep the boss happy. No questions. Just crystalize the position, run the loss through the P&L and it will just be lost and forgotten in the cash transaction history of the fund......isn't that the standard recognised M.O. for significantly negative positions, chaps?

And any fund manager who bought into the very recent 25p placing just this summer has already lost approx 25% of his investors' money. Now that is not very good, is it chaps! Nothing to write home about.

If institutions do start selling,this share stands the chance that it may fall significantly further in my view.




ALL IMO. DYOR.

ps .

...on the losing strategy of averaging down....hahaha....falling knives and fingers chopped clean off..... comes quickly to mind.

No panic here.Buy price creeping up.I've done well here,the deramper has made £0!

[jdh1602] 19/11/2019 10:23

Don't panick, holders, if your position is well down (like mine - 32%), there is a high chance this share bounces, considerably, even if it drops a bit further. Look at the weekly chart - this is a common pattern in down-trending shares. And there is enough good news to at least bounce this share higher in the coming months - see Simon T's Buy recommendation in IC - he can't be Totally wrong on its prospects. Yes, we blew this investment, this time. But get out on a much better week than this - at least wait for the bounce back to 20p support.

[susiebe] 19/11/2019 09:58

Great,thanks sellers!A chance to average down was what I wanted.
