I'm a big fan of co-op pork pies myself, although I'm more partial to their heated steak slices.

up - lol No I haven’t and I have no intention either! Small rise today which is encouraging and suggests (as has been said) that though we have a seller there is a buyer on the other side of the trade rather than a MM.

Dibs have you ever eaten one of them. I,m still recovering from the last one.

A Co Op pork pie seems a small price to pay....

[upomega] 22/1/2020 16:25

Norti From what I've seen of oryx they tend to not trade in this way unless it's for a reason. I ll eat a co,op pork pie if there isn't some sort of corporate action soon

[raskal] 22/1/2020 15:42

Norti Raskal says thus:- to the ORYX sell half never wrong to take profits. Hold 10mm bought at 10p total cost £1mm sell 5mm at 15p total return £750,000 remaining 5mm stand you at £250,000 of original stake at risk. Net result you own 5mm which effectively cost you 5p each. Ergo cogito a profit is booked and the holding de risked. The ORYX looks good knaves varlets and rapscallions confused. Thus saith the King of the Castle.

Barry. Another coincidence is one of our past directors previously held the same position at ekf

[barrywhit] 22/1/2020 14:31

upomega, Oryx own a large holding in EKF but I think that is just a coincidence as they invest in small cap companies...

[upomega] 22/1/2020 14:21

So why are they offloading dibs.take a look at ekf major shareholders together with renaltyx which was spun off from ekf.i may be going off on tangent here but maybe there is a regulatory rule in terms of holdings before a bid with connecting parties.

[dibs61] 22/1/2020 13:45

Oryx still offloading? But if it is them they are, at least, doing so in an orderly fashion which is not trashing the share price Far from it. And, as previously been stated those shares are being taken around the current level. But clearly its perhaps restraining the share price where otherwise I think we'd be north of where we are now. Question is, how much more are they going to offload. Perhaps that partially depends on the demand from the other side. All a bit academic I know because we all have our eyes on the longer term prize.

[rivaldo] 22/1/2020 12:19

You can currently buy a maximum 120,000 shares online at the 15.25p mid-price. I've just added a few more. You can also sell 160,000 online at 15p, so there's decent demand out there.

[upomega] 22/1/2020 12:09

More shares being dumped today probably by the same source. On a separate note does anyone have any a news as to where we are with cd4200 re the eprd validation.As it is beginning to look like like sales are not going to materialise from eprd validation alone. Maybe it was just used to help in Who qualification rather than attracting sales on its own

[dibs61] 22/1/2020 09:36

barry - thanks for your thoughts etc I'm also looking to increase my holding dependant (as ever) on cash and timing (ideally dips) ATB

[barrywhit] 22/1/2020 08:48

Dibs, Mills has sold down his holding before only to increase again. Not sure how many he is prepared to sell but at the moment we have a willing buyer at around 15p so I'm very happy with that and have increased my holding. I would be concerned if it was Sneller reducing....Oryx have at present sold down by 3.5million...a lot more than they purchased in the last placing...

[dibs61] 22/1/2020 08:16

barry - so you think Mills is selling his placement shares - taking a profit- but will keep his remaining holding?

[barrywhit] 22/1/2020 08:02

I can't see Mills reducing his holding knowing they are being bought by a predator. Because if there is a predator around they will have to pay multiples of 15p for the company. In my opinion just a New Investor getting on board at the right time and Mills taking a 40-50% profit on his investment...

[raskal] 22/1/2020 00:08

I the Norti Raskal King of the Castle have once again used the dark arts to separate fantasy from the missing actualite. Examing the entrails of a recently decreased prisoner I found a question there about something called an ORYX what manner of creature is this? It resideth in some fortification known as the guernsey doth this hath associations with the fallen wizard Neil of the Wood? Two one hundreths of the total now sold down are the rest still to come. Sell on the news and buy on the humour can this be verified.

[upomega] 21/1/2020 21:32

Dibs Quantan pharma is probably a better company to look at in terms of how investors can be entwined with each other. I hasten to add sold out before it finaly reached its peak.

[upomega] 21/1/2020 19:38

It could even be a predator buying. Perhaps ekf.

[barrywhit] 21/1/2020 15:52

Dibs, would have to be a New Investor/investors as Sneller would have declared an increase in his holding by now...imo

[leedslad001] 21/1/2020 15:47

If it's an institution buying most of them up they should be just under 3% by now so soon have to declare

[dibs61] 21/1/2020 15:47

Yes you were right barry- wonder who has taken their 2% RS adding again or as you say, a new investor?

[leedslad001] 21/1/2020 15:44

Once they have finished this should fly in the next couple of month's with so much positive news to come.

[barrywhit] 21/1/2020 15:29

Oryx still reducing as I thought. Good to see them being picked up by a New Investor......
