Interesting to see that J&J have made further investments in microbiome companies! I wonder how long before they want a piece of OPTI? Skinbiotix?? http://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/j-j-invests-caelus-pens-pacts-to-grow-microbiome-r-d

You and me both JJ :)

I'll take a few more if we go sub 70p to buy
Goes without saying that I hope I don't get the chance!

So AG Barr and britvic accept serious headwinds to the business.

One factor in the times today is the sugar levy.

Now Barr are saying most of their drinks will be below the levy trigger by sugar content by the time it kicks in.

But at what cost to flavour?

If hazard a guess there are some serious drinks companies globally keeping a progress report on Optis healthy sugars.

The AG Barr comment was in the times today.

I just nibbled a few more as low volume days are usually red but with soh presenting I can see some serious interest early next week.

Wouldn't rule out an Rns but either way the current presentations will make people take note.

Max is keeping quiet on this. The last I heard was he loved the flavour data I sent him (corporate poll via our email - over 400 replies) which identified the top 10 ten flavours. The priority is commercial deals and stock control, flavours later, when I don't know, but Max did say he will keep me in the loop as its not price sensitive.

New branding will probably be ahead of new flavours (just an assumption on my part). Max did ask where I got the flavoured syrups I often use as a substitute for new flavours and slightly smoother shake with minimal increase in calories. He like this idea too.

Luminoso, yes and I would hope that any spike will create a new base level if it is on good news.

[someuwin] 02/2/2017 10:50

elrico - any idea when the new GoFigure flavour(s) launch?

[elrico] 02/2/2017 10:48

Thank you Frank.

Apparently, the Canadian link I posted last night has nothing to do with GoFigure themselves, FB posts say's they will investigate it.

[frankwhite] 02/2/2017 09:40

Thanks Elrico you are very knowledgeable on OPTI good to have you here on this board.

[luminoso] 02/2/2017 09:29

True, rafboy but I am struck with the similarity of the chart to a point in the autumn of 2015. Just before the spike to £1 ( intraday ).

[rafboy] 02/2/2017 08:59

Looks like we are all waiting for the direction, up or down. Doesn't matter if you are holding for the real returns to come.

[joyjoy13] 02/2/2017 07:44

Frank,
With respect, your article is from 2013 !
Did you read the comments why folk stop using it?

Quote
“The fake flavoring and sugar are not part of healthy living in the 21st century.”

I think you'll find that's where Go Figure has the unique edge....
Just my thoughts...

Good luck with your investment.

[elrico] 02/2/2017 00:01

Frank - with respect, you seem to be missing the point and value of GoFigure, or more importantly, Slimbiome. GoFigure is a vehicle for OPTI's first commercial IP. To quote SOH, "SlimBiome more of a means of establishing early market presence and revenues rather than a substantive shareholder value enhancer." This quote goes back to September 2016, before GoFigure, since then GoFigure has gained traction beyond everyone's expectations and proven a super conduit that has attracted household MN to OPTI, where there is huge scope migrate to other IP within the family, like cholesterol and hypertension and of course combine both.

Personally I don't care about Gofigure it's just 1 of many meal replacement plans out there in a crowded market. Eat granola bars instead and you'll get the same result, who cares anyway these types of diet are dying out with healthy meals and exercise being the better choice. Slim fast revenues are tumbling as you can see in the link so I don't care about Gofigure the real opportunities lie ahead but have yet to materialise, still holding and waiting.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2013-01-24/how-slim-fast-lost-out-to-weight-loss-rivals

Isn't Canada in the States...they sound the same ;-)

[parob] 01/2/2017 21:20

That's Amazon Canada Elrico - didn't realise we were there already! Don't think they're on the USA website yet, although if they're listed in Canada, hopefully it won't be far off!

[elrico] 01/2/2017 21:07

Parob - I've seen GoFigure on Czech and German sites, Italian must be a relatively new listing.

Amazon stateside First available Jan 17, 2017

[parob] 01/2/2017 20:39

The beauty with Amazon is it offers a global platform to sell GoFigure products. I know we're also listed on Amazon France and Amazon Germany - there are probably other European countries if I bothered to check.

I'm sure Amazon USA is in their sights. That's the market we really need to crack.

[shrewdmole] 01/2/2017 20:17

Parob

I got in a tad too early today but still happy.

Will look for more as funds allow.

During the year long downtrend we had decent blue days which were quickly reversed and the downtrend continued.During this uptrend we will have red days which will quickly reverse and the uptrend will continue. Very happy with my 73.5p top up today.

[elrico] 01/2/2017 20:00

Thanks Shrewdie. I avoid IG after being stung by them a few years ago.I'm sure OPTI will surprise a few of the big boys and they will be wondering how a small cap on the AIM casino has got so far ahead of the big MN pharmas and I dare venture to say be surprise at the IP covering such a wide range on consumer sectors all of which as we know are in multi $b global markets.

[shrewdmole] 01/2/2017 19:50

Elrico

I added a few today via ig so stock was available.

Instantly laid off on the market at what was reported as a sell.

The Berlin presentation will generate serious interest so these drops will be bought into.

It is a shame the pi gets panicked into selling for the big boys to mop up.

Tr1 in the next few days wouldn't be a surprise.

I guess the wolf has to live up to his name and talk up his book. Easy done and best ignored.
