The market doesn't care about the price that shareholders paid in the past, all that matters is the current price and future prospects. I appreciate that it is incredibly frustrating that privaste shareholders are often excluded and treated to their deteriment by institutions getting discounted stock. However, it strikes me that that was only realistic way that they could raise the cash.

The 'pudding' is that this is a good price for a stock with strong upside potential. Any short/mid-term weakness in such a company is usually a good time to buy in such a situation.

The agguement is really quite simply.

MLR still has a substantial private shareholder base, some still very loyal the the share price they bought in at, many up to two pounds a share.

There was always a risk of institutional dumping when the new MLR was floated at 10p.

I believe that substance could have been given to the floatation had the private investors been allowed a slice of the action.

Private shareholder being as they are, really quite a loyal old bunch.

You are now experiencing the proof of the pudding as the share price dirts no matter what the director do now.

Please explain your comments regarding 'screwed up'.

And in particular, if by the 'selling' you are referring to the trades by Liontrust, then perhaps you could expain to us what the management of Maelor have to do with the fact that many small shareholders have been making redemptions in the Liontrust funds,and therefore forcing Liontrust to trim equity positions?

Furthermore, could you please advise us as to how the management of a smallcap with a troubled history were supposed to raise funds for the Acorus acquisition?

I think it's unfair that you keep making these statements against the management without backing them up with cogent argument.

[waxman3] 18/2/2008 13:13

Not really as you can all p`lease yourselves. My estimate is it will fall below the offer price and rightly so as the board has screwed up leaving such a huge overhang of 10p and has not brought the profits it.

Thats why you have selling and the price falling all the time.

[shuisky] 18/2/2008 11:50

I think you are trying to say, that you would like everyone else to read and act upon your unsubstantiated remarks and sell out so you can buy back at 8p.

Am I right or wrong?

[waxman3] 15/2/2008 15:40

NOR TODAY EITHER CHAPS--THIS ONE HAS 80 STAMPED ALL OVER IT.

[waxman3] 14/2/2008 09:25

Does not look that inspiring today either.

[waxman3] 12/2/2008 12:36

Ohnits going places alright but its going to take a longtime to get there.

Meanwhile I am making money and not standing still. I bought these at just under 7p solc on avergae at just under 13.75p. Bough GDP at 9.75 and will by these back double previous holdings next year when the 10p floatation dust has settled.

They are right now a big dissapointment.

[gerri-c] 12/2/2008 12:25

Ah! I was previously unsure you were referring to yourself.

Obviously, I have a more optimistic view of the present position of MLR. Time will tell.

[waxman3] 12/2/2008 11:44

Many different BBs under my many diferent BB names,

Follow the share price its talking to you and 10p is on the cards.

[gerri-c] 12/2/2008 08:22

Many places?

[waxman3] 12/2/2008 08:21

It was in answer to--------------GERRI-C - 11 Feb'08 - 19:14 - 1593 of 1595


If we can push through a bit of resistance, the chart may indeed look all the sweeter ;-)

[gerri-c] 12/2/2008 08:17

waxman3,

Post 1594 - can't quite make out your meaning.

[waxman3] 11/2/2008 20:54

bEEN SAYING THAT FOR QUITE A WHILE NOW IN MANY PLACES.

[gerri-c] 11/2/2008 19:14

If we can push through a bit of resistance, the chart may indeed look all the sweeter ;-)

[waxman3] 11/2/2008 14:35

You need the corner sweet shop mentality for this one as in the sector its still a tiddler which is why the board should be doing more on PR.

But I guess they dont really care about the smaller share holder.

[shuisky] 11/2/2008 14:32

The truth is that unless you are Liontrust or connected to them than you can't have a strong opinion on what they are going to do with their stake. However, you can have a an opinion on the evaluation of the company, and the prospects going forward. You either find it value or you don't. Liontrust could stop selling and another buyer could come in at any moment. If this occurs than you will miss the upside. I just don't think you can second guess what x institution or y institution is going to do. Small cap investing isn't suited to this kind 'in-and-out' trading mentality.

I expect by the end of this year the share price will be able to absorb whatever the big seller has at their disposal. As it hints in the announcement the pipeline this year (with Aloxi being the first) includes Isoplex, Heamopressin, Dermogesic and Acoranil as far as I'm aware. Trouble is that I think they're all scheduled for launch towards year-end so I'm in no hurry to get back in either. I think that I'll be able to pick some up for sub-12p at some point. The fact that they're stressing "ahead of schedule" in the announcement when it's only a matter of weeks shows a touch of desperation.

I'm the first to admit that buying this stock 8 odd years ago was an obvious screw up but don't write off the benefits of the averaging down.Look at the chart of SLR.Silence Therapeutics fell off a cliff and hit the mid teens before recovering 10x in a year ,albeit it's back to mid 40s now.MLR is a very different from SLR of course.

The key is to look at a company with fresh eyes.MLR might well be down some 90% from its peak but actually its up over 100% over the last eighteen months.Arguably this stock could slowly but surely climb back to the 40p mark over the next couple of years which makes it attractive to new investors.Stale bulls plus profit taking by entrants at the 10p mark will compromise the share price rise but bear in mind that if technical factors overly depress a price,a competitor could cut to the chase and take the company over if the fundamentals and valuation are acceptable.

I'm not looking to sell.I'm looking to buy but agree there's no urgency in the current climate.

[waxman3] 11/2/2008 10:35

This is what I have been telling you all. The Accorus deal was a good deal but a bad deal for the small shareholder now faced with a massive overhang of cheap shares at 10p

The board of directors have behaved just like the old bord with no respect for their private holders.

Hense the share price will suffer for amy a long year still, thanks why I sold out, and I aam alñready quids ahead with GDP.

I WILL KEEP WATCHING MLR BUT JUST DID NOT WANT TO WAIT RIGHT NOW FOR A PROTRACT share price rise. If Tim's buying could not shift it then nothing well for a while, meanwhile its just like you local corner sweet shop a nice little business but going no where fast.

[gerri-c] 11/2/2008 08:35

Well, the launch ahead of schedule has met with little obvious enthusiasm this morning, but good news nontheless.

[shuisky] 31/1/2008 17:05

So your 550k is out now?

[shuisky] 31/1/2008 14:14

waxman3- If you are really this negative, why don't you just sell out and save yourself from the pain?

[waxman3] 31/1/2008 12:34

That overhang will keep MLR in the doldrums for many years to come I fear and sadly more will die waiting for a recovery.
