Pardon me JJ, but this morning you said that 75p+ "Is a 'will be" (17148)
Personally, i think it foolish for anyone to predict price movements. By doing so such people can often have egg on their face, bit like you really lol
My source must have got it wrong about you attending the conference today, apologies.
But no need to resort to gutter language, take it on the cheek, she who can dish it out must expect to receive. Anyone think there will be an after hours rns on the website position?

[neftanikoff] 04/11/2016 15:43

'I think there's a lot more to come' .So says SOH. Well, he should know there is, surely? Funny if he didn't think there was more to come. Still, GoFigure's profitable.
Well done : well done indeed.
I'd rather see SOH didn't think he needed to network with like-minded individuals still. Surely we've got beyond that preliminary stage? Why not keep his mouth shut for a bit on telling the world everything OPTI's developing? Keep it for the serious customers. We're not in academia, comparing eggheads.
Having said that, maybe we'll get the news we've awaited all year soon.

very good Spike_1

[spike_1] 04/11/2016 08:34

JJ you seem not to be downbeat this morning, probably best that you go lie down in a darkned room 'till you recover.

Had to pay 74.3p for 4000 shares. Still every little helps!

[judijudi] 04/11/2016 07:53

I have a feeling that mid-low 60's are a "has been" and that 75p+ Is a "will be"

This is so significant in my opinion:"OptiBiotix believes that this is the first time that anyone has demonstrated a targeted change in the microbiome leading to an enhanced biological activity and improved health benefit"And I assume is the scientific breakthrough SOH referred to in June:"Lots going on behind scenes with substantive progress on the science including one major breakthrough which if confirmed has the potential for a substantial value uplift."SOH will be speaking about this breakthrough today in front of "leading companies in the industry and well connected investment groups"All the clues are there right in front of our very eyes. I've certainly been taking advantage of the recent weakness.Once we've moved up a couple more pence, and the downward trend really is broken, I can see the momentum/technical traders piling in adding to the buying pressure.By the way, thanks for those in support of my comments earlier in the week (Sienna & Primal123) - much appreciated! And don't worry, someone who posts pointless drivel day in, day out, won't put me off posting - I just ignore them. I'm very grateful to others who post thoughts, opinions, charts and research onto this board. I think we're on to a winner here, so much so that I've never been so heavily invested in a company. As SOH says "I think there's a lot more to come".

Glucomannan a key ingredient in GoFigure shake.MENUWritten byMARK HYMAN, MDThe Super Fiber that Controls your Appetite and Blood Sugar?IMAGINE EATING 12 POUNDS of food a day - and still staying thin and healthy. That may sound crazy, but it's exactly what our hunter-gatherer ancestors ate for millennia! And they didn't have any obesity or chronic diseases like heart disease, diabetes, cancer, or dementia.Of course, I wouldn't advise anyone today to eat 12 pounds of food, because the food in our society lacks one major secret ingredient that our ancestors ate in nearly all their food - fiber!Fiber has so many health benefits that I want to focus on it in this blog. I'll explain some of its benefits and give you 9 tips you can begin using today to get more fiber in your diet. I'll also tell you about my favorite "super-fiber" that can help you increase your total fiber intake overnight.But before I tell you about what fiber can do for you, let's a look a little more at the history of fiber.Why Bushmen are Healthier than the Average WesternerDr. Dennis Burkitt, a famous English physician, studied the differences between indigenous African bushmen and their "civilized" western counterparts. The bushmen seemed to be free of the scourges of modern life - including heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity.Dr. Burkitt found that the average bushman had a stool weight of 2 pounds and the "civilized" men had a stool weight of only 4 ounces – that's 87.5% smaller! The difference was in the amount of fiber they ate.Today, the average American eats about 8 grams of fiber a day. But the average hunter and gatherer ate 100 grams from all manner of roots, berries, leaves and plant foods. And the fiber is what helped those ancestors of ours stay healthy. Just take a look at all the good things that fiber can do for your body.You need fiber to keep healthy from top to bottom, as well as to provide food for the healthy bacteria that work within you to promote health.Glucomannan is an ancient fiber source that can help you lose weight, lower your cholesterol, reduce your appetite, and lower your blood sugar more effectively than ANY other fiber.In fact, fiber can actually prevent obesity and all the chronic disease of aging. This is because fiber slows the rate at which food enters your bloodstream and increases the speed at which food exits your body through the digestive tract. That keeps your blood sugar and cholesterol in ideal balance - and quickly eliminates toxins from your gutand reduces your appetite.There's good science to back this up. Research shows that fiber can lower blood sugar as much as some diabetes medications, lower cholesterol, and promote weight loss. It's clear, fiber is a great ally in the battle of the bulge.But it's also a hero in more serious battles.For example, one recent study showed how butyrate made by gut bacteria from certain types of fiber acts as a switching molecule that turns on an anticancer gene - and turns OFF colon cancer. In fact, fiber has been shown to reduce the risk of colon cancer by as much as a third and breast cancer by almost 40 percent.It also lowers cholesterol and reduces the risk of heart disease by as much as 40 percent. And if you have diabetes, adding fiber to your diet may even help you use less insulin. Plus, it's a great natural cure for constipation and irregularity.Now that you know how beneficial it is, let's look at how you can begin taking advantage of fiber's health benefits.Getting Enough Daily FiberYou should shoot to get 30 to 50 grams of fiber into your diet every day. The type of fiber you choose is important, too.Most people think that bran is the best type of fiber to eat. But bran (wheat fiber) is mostly insoluble and doesn't get digested. Think of it as more of a scouring pad for your intestines. That's good for getting you regular, but it just can't help your health the way that soluble fiber can.You'll find soluble fiber in fruits, vegetables, beans, nuts, seeds, and most whole grains. The bacteria in your gut metabolizes the soluble fiber in these foods, and that's when the benefits start.Soluble fiber can help lower cholesterol, blood sugar, and insulin, prevent cancer, balance hormone levels, remove excess estrogen and reduce the risk of breast cancer, make vitamins and minerals, provide food for the colon cells, and more. So it's easy to see just how crucial soluble fiber is to good heath!In just a minute, I'm going to tell you how to increase your fiber intake. But first, I want to tell you about some recent discoveries regarding an ancient fiber source that can help you lose weight, lower your cholesterol, reduce your appetite and lower your blood sugar more effectively than ANY other fiber. It's called glucomannan, but I call it super fiber!Glucomannan: The Benefits of Super FiberGlucomannan (GM) is a soluble, fermentable, and highly viscous dietary fiber that comes from the root of the elephant yam, also known as konjac (Amorphophallus konjac or Amorphophallus rivieri), native to Asia. The konjac tuber has been used for centuries as an herbal remedy and to make traditional foods such as konjac jelly, tofu, and noodles. More recently, purified konjac flour, or GM, has been used as a food stabilizer, gelling agent, and supplement.What makes this fiber so super is the fact that it can absorb up to 50 times its weight in water - making it one of the most viscous dietary fibers known. That means that GM can help you shed pounds. In many studies, doses of 2 to 4 grams of GM per day were well-tolerated. This amount also resulted in significant weight loss in overweight and obese individuals.GM works by promoting a sense of fullness. Plus, it pushes more calories out through your colon, rather than letting them be absorbed. It also lowers the energy density of the food you eat. In other words, it bulks up food in your gut - creating a lower calorie content per weight of food you eat.And since fiber has almost no calories but a lot of weight, adding it to your diet lowers the energy-to-weight ratio of the food that you eat. Studies show that the weight of food controls your appetite, so the fiber increases the food's weight WITHOUT increasing calories - a critical factor in weight control.This powerful fiber may also control your appetite in other key ways. For example, it sends signals to your brain that there is a lot of food in your gut and tells it to slow down on stuffing food in there.GM also leaves your stomach and small bowel slowly because it is so viscous. By slowing the rate of food absorption from the gut to the bloodstream, GM reduces the amount of insulin produced after a meal, which also controls your appetite.It may also increase the level of hormones in the gut (such as cholecystokinin), which is another way to control your appetite. And finally, you lose more calories through stool because GM soaks up all those extra calories!GM can also help your health in other ways. In addition to weight reduction, GM has been studied for its effects on constipation, serum cholesterol, blood glucose, blood pressure, and insulin resistance syndrome.With all those benefits, there's no doubt you should eat more fiber. No, you probably won't be eating 12 pounds of food like your ancestors did! But you can increase your fiber intake, just by being smart about what you eat. Here are some simple suggestions for increasing fiber in your diet.9 Tips for Increasing the Fiber in Your Diet.Get the flax.Get a coffee grinder just for flax seeds, grind 1/2 cup at a time, and keep in a tightly sealed glass jar in the fridge or freezer. Eat 2 tablespoons of ground flax seeds a day. Sprinkle on salads, grains, or vegetable dishes or mix in a little unsweetened applesauce.Load up on legumes. Beans beat out everything else for fiber content!Bulk up on vegetables. With low levels of calories and high levels of antioxidants and protective phytochemicals, these excellent fiber sources should be heaped on your plate daily.Go with the grain. Whole grains like brown rice or quinoa are rich in fiber, too.Eat more fruit. Include a few servings of low-sugar fruits to your diet daily (berries are the highest in fiber and other protective phytochemicals).Go nuts. Include a few handfuls of almonds, walnuts, pecans, or hazelnuts to your diet every day.Start slowly. Switching abruptly to a high-fiber diet can cause gas and bloating. Increase your fiber intake slowly until you get up to 50 grams a day.Consider a good fiber supplement. If you're have trouble getting your fill of fiber, choose a supplement that contains both soluble and insoluble fiber and no sweeteners or additives.Choose GM. By now, you know that my favorite kind is glucomannan (GM), or konjac. Many companies sell it in capsule form. Although I don't normally recommend specific brands, I like the one produced by Natural Factors called WellBetX. You can take 2 to 4 capsules with a glass of water, 30 to 60 minutes before eating. Don't take any medications within 1 hour before or 2 hours after taking it because the fiber may absorb the medication.As you can see, fiber has big benefits for your health - from encouraging weight loss to preventing chronic diseases. I hope you'll start adding more of this important compound into your diet today!Now I'd like to hear from you ...Have you noticed any ill-health effects from having a low fiber intake?How much fiber do you think you currently eat every day?What high-fiber foods do you enjoy?What steps are you taking to get more fiber in your diet?Please leave your thoughts by adding a comment below-but remember, we can't offer personal medical advice online, so be sure to limit your comments to those about taking back our health!To your good health,Mark Hyman, MDReferencesHowarth NC, Saltzman E, Roberts SB.

Diamond - are you really going tomorrow?

[judijudi] 03/11/2016 17:32

Happy with today's share price
Tomorrow could be interesting

[owenmo] 03/11/2016 17:06

Thanks Primal; I had no sooner sent "what did he say?" post than realised as yet it's only Thursday. Ahead of myself; apologies all.

[mazzstar] 03/11/2016 16:48

diamond - are you an industry insider or did you pay the £1,299 entry fee?

[diamond fibre] 03/11/2016 16:40

I will be there.

[primal123] 03/11/2016 16:36

He's speaking tomorrow owenmo.

[owenmo] 03/11/2016 16:21

You don't say!

You don't say!

You don't say!

What did he say?

He didn't say!

Well, hopefully SOH said much to-day?

[elrico] 03/11/2016 15:02

I am happy to have been proven wrong on the cash-side of things. I previously estimated cash to be c£2.855m. Of course the guru was much more pessimistic. SOH states, "since we reported our interims, we still have £3.5 million in the bank."

[judijudi] 03/11/2016 14:46

I also look forward to marks charts. Can't wait in fact
As for Neft and bobdown
Funny

Martin - I for one won't hold it against you if we don't break up and develop a new positive trend. I aim to be here for the long haul no matter...unless the science fails :-)

Keep the TA coming. It is appreciated even from someone that has no intention of trading OPTI. I know I should as an edge...not a true edge of course, unless I shorted my long and I ain't doing that.
