Optibiotix Health Share Discussion Threads

Neft, agree on the questions front but I hope things will kick off before then. The demerger of skinbiotix could come sometime soon and we know that we launch our cholesterol products in the spring.

i see that raft boy, looks like someone got 10,000 for 67.75 as actual sells are going for 67.02.
i got my ticket for the TW investor show this week. But i am not sure that i will be attending. No doubt soh will be talking about opti, details i think next week.
He can talk as much as he likes and he most certainly will on the merits of holding opti shares and what exciting times lie ahead but i hope he will be asked at the end of his presentation (if he does one) some pertinent questions about the share price performance for the last 18 months. Furthermore i will hope that TW is asked about his repeated messages of "big news" coming buy at 80 or below and sell at well 100. I have no doubt if these 2 people are asked awkward questions, that they will provide good answers. soh will most likely shrug his shoulders and intimate that the market has got it wrong and opti should be valid at something like £200m comparing it to its peers and the huge potential that is there .
PS, of course, there is still a month to go before the show and there is the possibility of news before then that will be good fr the share price and so make it an easier ride for the 2 aforementioned fellows.

Topped up 3656 shares at 68.21p just now. Went through on ISDX.

House broker finnCap have put out a note on OPTI today with a 'Corporate' rating. Still no price target given.

(They've also given eleven other companies 'Corporate' ratings today, all WITH price targets given.)

1. What's the point of a 'Corporate' rating?

2. They're supposed to be analysts, why not analyse and come up with a price taget - it can't be that hard, peeps do it on this board every day!

So Optibiotix are exhibiting at Vitafoods in May - search Optibiotix at this link:



They're on stand H64 which is a pretty central location at the event:



Listed as:

- Ingredients & Raw Materials
- Branded Finished Products
- Looking For Distributors

If we're 'on track' for the launch of the LP-LDL® product at this expo on the 9th May, I would expect partnerships (for 'Branded Finished Products') to be announced in April at the very latest. Bearing in mind we're into March next week we shouldn't have to wait too long for news on that front. And that's just our cardiovascular product.

The stock is oversold and IMO the price has dropped way too much considering where we are in the journey. I agree with Scotty and think we'll start to climb back out of this dip very soon, possibly as early as today. I'm in for a few more anyway.

IMHO I think the FCA should impose a min period of demo account trade accounts for new retail clients for CFD-SB to demonstrate risk management to protect people.

[elrico] 23/2/2017 21:51

Colin - my aim is to close the SB above 90p then add to my OPTI ISA for 2017 with the hope I'm covered for the skinbiotixthereputics plc IPO.OPTI is a min 5 year (from now) investment plan for my retirement.

[colinzeal] 23/2/2017 21:46

What's your take profit target Elrico?

[john henry] 23/2/2017 21:43

good risk management is the key.

i first started using SB about 25 years, when i look back and realised some of the crazy positions i held, probably a little like newbies now.

At one point i had 4 Million pounds at risk. In one day i lost 80k. Lesson learnt.i run very strict RM. My Opti SB are covered to 15p.
Stocks like Opti i am more concerned about the tax element rather than the Margins required.

Unfortunately these days, the CFD companies have removed the availability of the Guaranteed Stop loss on many instruments.

[elrico] 23/2/2017 21:29

JH - my exposure via SB is £17k by way of £200pp. My margin is covered to a low of 50p. I make sure I am not stopped out by traders.

[john henry] 23/2/2017 21:15

wow core spreads have allowed a large position at 25% margin. 17k x4 divided by price.

68k divided by ??p im guessing around 2000 p/p

Thats quite a risk, unless youve got it well covered.

[john henry] 23/2/2017 21:06

As far as i am aware Elrico, there are only a limited number of stocks where you can get 50:1 ( 2% )margin. Apple Google etc
To be honest, the new restriction want make a great deal of difference to small (over 25M mkt cap, med cap companies.

CFD SB companies have raised their margins requirements quite substantially over the past 12 months.

well at least your 20 p/p will be tax free when you sell it Elrico, one advantage you get from holding via a SB.

[elrico] 23/2/2017 20:38

JH - aside from core isa holdings, I took out a £17k SB @ 25% margin with Core spreads. I expected ETX to be 75% margin on OPTI for a mere £1333, NOT @ 100%. I did click on the info option, but it appears I clicked on another stock in my watchlist above OPTI, that was 75%. I use ETX sparingly because they have a higher margin requirement that Core for the same stocks.You would think after 33 years I would have got all the schoolboy error's out of my system by now ;-)

[john henry] 23/2/2017 20:13

Elrico if you look at the margin requirements on SB and CFD positions amongst smaller companies they are already high. Take Opti, from memory first 12k is 25% 4:1 staggered up to 38k at 75% margin. Forex market is where the margins will most affected.

[kipper1960] 23/2/2017 19:51

[elrico] 23/2/2017 19:37

schoolboy error!!

Guess who neglected to check the margin requirement for his SB trade on OPTI today!!
Yup. I made a stupid assumption it was 75% as per 4 other open small cap, tightly held stocks. ETX stiffed me on a 100% (£1333)! As stupid as I am I am stiff shocked as it the trade makes no sense over buying physical stock. Corespreads is £255 for the same trade....if you can get it.

I'm confident I am the minority here, but I hold myself up for ridicule in the hope nobody makes the same schoolboy error :-)

In reality this share rose from 8p - £1 within two years of listing in August 2014. Currently consolidating and at the helm of traders in the 60-80p region and waits for the commercial traction to begin the next leg. Not one but two top new recruits signals this years commercial intent from the company. Slimbiome, lpldl, sweetbiotix all de risked and on the verge of revenues in a multi billion £ market with next generation products. Rather wait it out, but cheers.

Judi, that's my time working in CID, LOL

[john henry] 23/2/2017 16:31

Not sure why elrico you can buy online quote easily through IG. Added a trade today.Downside looks limited to 66p on oversold technicals, due a bounce if only to around 70-72p.

[judijudi] 23/2/2017 15:19
