A bit of Friday night fun. IMO (!) a golden cross is on it's way.

What is a 'Golden Cross'

The golden cross is a bullish breakout pattern formed from a crossover involving a security's short-term moving average breaking above its long-term moving average or resistance level. As long-term indicators carry more weight, the golden cross indicates a bull market on the horizon and is reinforced by high trading volumes.

Here's OPTI's six month chart inc. 50 and 200 day SMA.



I remember marnewton once saying you need a RISING 200 day SMA for a 'true' golden cross and it looks like we have one forming. With a rising price you can can see what's going to happen.



BREAKING DOWN 'GOLDEN CROSS'

There are three stages to a golden cross. The first stage requires that a downtrend eventually bottoms out as selling is depleted. In the second stage, the shorter moving average forms a crossover up through the larger moving average to trigger a breakout and confirmation of trend reversal. The last stage is the continuing uptrend for the follow through to higher prices.

Applications of the Golden Cross

The most commonly used moving averages are the 50-period and the 200-period moving average. The period represents a specific time increment. Generally, larger time periods tend to form stronger lasting breakouts.

As mar said:

'As for averages, yes, you are right, we could see a golden cross in the not too distant future. Again, nice to have, but as a buy signal it's rather late.'

Better to get in early then.

Hello 1bloke,
Here's the article. I thought it was very pertinent to what Opti is about.
All the best,

Feeding bacteria to babies `cuts risk of sepsis by 40%'
Kate Wright
Feeding newborn babies probiotic bacteria reduces their chances of getting sepsis by 40 per cent, a study has found. The treatment could be a simple, in expensive way to prevent infant deaths
from or blood poisoning in response to an infection. About 600,000 babies worldwide, and up to 1,500 in the UK, die of sepsis each year. Most at risk in this country are premature babies and those with other significant health conditions.
Scientists administered more than 4,000 Indian newborns with a strain of Lactobacillus plantarum bacterium, for seven days, and then monitored them for two months. Not only was their risk of sepsis dramatically reduced but the babies were also less likely to develop respiratory infections.
The results were so promising that the trial was stopped early, as it was considered no longer ethical to withhold the probiotic from babies in the control group. "Next I would like to test
[the probiotic] in preterm and low birth weight babies," said Pinaki Panigrahi, a professor at University of Nebraska Medical Centre College of Public Health and lead author on the study,
published in Nature. "They are at much higher risk than full-term babies in the developed world."
Sepsis can result when harmful gut bacteria grow out of control and break through the intestinal wall and into the bloodstream. The body's response can damage organs and tissues.
"This is a preventative therapy," said Dr Panigrahi. "If we can get good bugs into the gut early enough, they will stop the bad ones from overpopulating and going through into the bloodstream."
The probiotic also boosts the baby's immune system, which could explain how it prevented infection in the lungs, so far from the gut. Lactobacillus plantarum is widely available in probiotic supplements. However, Ron Daniels, chief executive of the UK Sepsis Trust, stressed that
doctors shouldn't start feeding it to newborns yet. "It's a relatively small study in a country not necessarily similar in its bacterial characteristics," he said. "We need more work done on this
before we can recommend any change in practice."

Elrico
Could you please re-post the link as I am sure many others would like to listen as well as me.
Hope its possible now and many thanks for keeing us informed.

[spike_1] 01/9/2017 18:06

Talking of re-posting I can't find the SOH audio link, can anyone help?
Best wishes and have a good week-end one and all - Mike

[1bokke] 01/9/2017 16:50

John,I didn't see it, any chance you could repost?Thanks

[2350220] 01/9/2017 16:42

Regards the Times article about the Indian doctors using Lactobacillus I scanned and uploaded here a few days ago, I sent it to Anna Dunphy at Walbrook.
She's replied to thank me and says that she'll pass it on to Stephen o'H.
She said that he might well be aware of it already.

Nice finish today. I'm almost at B/E.
John

What has happen to the 'free' shares that Opti shareholders were supposed to receive.

An update will be appreciated.

Best,

[f3rdinand] 01/9/2017 16:21

OPTI has a very similar feeling about it as to when Helium (remember them) finished offloading in 2015! As the price increases the mm's still will accept large sells (not happened for a long time) suggesting they need the stock as their supplier is no longer there!A brief glance at the 3 year chart shows you what happened when some heavy buying ensued under these circumstances!

[parob] 01/9/2017 16:12

Let's hope they can do at least the same in the cognitive space!

[elrico] 01/9/2017 16:11

I wouldn't be surprised if we had a similar pressure cooker effect we witnessed leading up to the Vitafoods expo, but this time we have even more products and in the US market and a renewed confidence in SACCO, which all build new excitement.

I watch too much LA law and I hate Vegas ;)

[riskybusiness1] 01/9/2017 16:10

Or even name a company that has bought ip for around £660k turning it into an £11m company within 12 months.

[imnotlong] 01/9/2017 16:02

Las Vegas expo not LA expo.
Listened again to the interview elrico, next few weeks and months should be exciting

[elrico] 01/9/2017 15:56

Parob - we are singing from the same hymesheet. It was the point I was making yesterday. SACCO signatories were shut down for the jollies for 4 weeks and now back, hence I why expect a pickup in the pace of RNS's over the next 4 months. Of course by October we will almost certainly have new expectations post the LAS VEGAS Expo. SACCO are intent of cracking the huge US markets.

It's also worth noting, the deal with SACCO increases the already high margins by 33%. Of course we don't know the margins. SOH did say they can mass produce the raw ingredients very cheaply. It's clear SACCO are eager to impress, hence why they are paying for the joint venture and funding new product developments. Can anyone name another company that is only just entering the commercial sphere, has companie falling over themselves to join the venture, pay for research and development, thus further derisking and shaving what small capex there is off. I am struggling to find a comparison. OPTI will be throwing off cash within the next 12 months and TLTers can wag a finger and say we told you so.

[parob] 01/9/2017 14:40

In Elrico's interview SOH said they'd pretty much agreed the global Sacco deal 4 weeks before the announcement but had to wait for the signatory to return from holidays.How many other deals were agreed in principal before the summer holiday period...Bid continues to rise and now 74.3p to buy. Could see another tick up by the EOP.

[lukead] 01/9/2017 14:19

Hey Ray mate, you bear all the signs of a TW BASHER, just like the OPNow you have not heard of TCM, you do surprise me, old bean . Let me tell you , it's one for TRADERS and you could have bought it for little over 100 just a few wee days ago , now as I speak it is 170 odd and you could have made a killing , as if you did not know Now away with you and your scummy type,

[westmoreland lad] 01/9/2017 13:48

Hey up Ray, what you doing here ? Far too safe for you / no need for nail biting.

Been invested here since 34p and expect their patented IP to take us over a quid
early next year. One thing for sure -- there'll be no plug + abandoned RNS - lol

[rayrac] 01/9/2017 13:27

Tcm? Not a clue what you are talking about. But take care with this one, there's not phase 1/2/3 testing here...the same at meldex!

[fredd] 01/9/2017 12:37

Also with Barclays. I have been spending more time with my 'phone!

[xippy] 01/9/2017 12:27

With sharecentre always been reliable online. History of all ones trades etc. Works for me in nms. They will deal above that but you leave it to their dealers to work it or call them to do it live.

[belgrano2] 01/9/2017 11:59

Also with barclays, total shambles.

[someuwin] 01/9/2017 11:53

...Only just seen it westy. Reply sent.

[westmoreland lad] 01/9/2017 11:44

someuwin -- sent you a message via ADVFN yesterday. Did you receive it ?

[someuwin] 01/9/2017 11:23

Tried almost all online brokers over the years. Never found one yet that didn't have problems some of the time.

Best thing is to have multiple (ISA) accounts with differnt brokers then you have others to fall back on if one is offline.

Also useful as sometimes one broker can supply more stock than another one.

[onedayrodders] 01/9/2017 11:12

Been with TD for 17 years never had any problems ...although I can't compare as never used anyone else.
