Dr Kolyda will take up her position on the Board of OptiBiotix with immediate effect.

This work has led to agreements with a number of global corporates including Tata for microbiome modulation (LPGOS), and two SweetBiotix® agreements, the first with one of the world's largest suppliers of nutritional products and the second with one of the world's largest providers of dairy products.

Given the high level of interest in SweetBiotix® and the potential for further partnerships, Dr Kolyda will take on responsibility for leading development programmes with current and future corporate partners.

How many times have we heard we will fly?

But then again, how many times have we won a World Cup penalty shoot out?

Opti long term holders Expect.

So do 8 month holders who are currently loss making!

Plus the incredibly long consolidation period means any upward move is likely to be pretty spectacular.

Parob

I'm with trotters there's still big orders being filled and once they are filled we will fly.

Well Brucie5 knows his charts and did say the share price can double quite quickly once the key threshold level of £1 is breached - so that timeframe might be achievable shrewdie.

There is so much good news banked up plus heaps more on the way. The pressure cooker can’t keep the lid on for that much longer.

Rathean

I will hire a whole bar at £2.
Free bar for anyone with an Opti share certificate.

Best book now as Christmas is a busy time.

Rathean, I'll hold you to that 😀

England just when you thought it was safe 😣

[rathean] 03/7/2018 20:04

Agreed but here I am in a share I want to be, just wish I was in it lower hence the nihilistic wish to see the share price drop. Gl as well, I'll buy you a pint when this reaches £1.20.

[scotty1] 03/7/2018 18:35

Yep I know all about them thar things Rathean,buy the dips not the chasms.Have you also heard I'd rather be out of a share wishing I was in rather than in a share wishing I was out,and if this dropped by 20p it'd be the latter for me,or it'd be a fool and his money are soon parted.Still whatever strategy suits you but I prefer to try and hang on to mine,gl with it.

[rathean] 03/7/2018 18:02

So Scotty you are aware you don't "lose" money if you haven't sold yet, it's known as a paper loss right? You know what average down means? I didn't know you needed it this simplistic.

[paulhoodwinked] 03/7/2018 18:01

Is anyone going to the agm tomorrow?

[paulhoodwinked] 03/7/2018 18:01

lol makes a change from the other numpty.

[elrico] 03/7/2018 17:55

Scotty can you email me the PDF format...:)

[scotty1] 03/7/2018 17:38

Rathean so let me get this right let's say you own 30k of opti shares you would like em to drop 20p from here down to 50p thus loosing you £6000 which would enable you to top up,yep better send me that pop up book on trading strategies because I've only been at it for 20 odd years,look forward to reading it.

[elrico] 03/7/2018 17:12

Parob - We have links to 4 Pharma company's now, all of which service the BIG boys, which is what I suspect you mean. This will be OPTI route to market IMHO. If I were a big pharma, it would be my chosen route to stay under the radar of my competitors.

SOH is MUCH smarter that we give him credit for. ;)

[rathean] 03/7/2018 17:04

Scotty1, why would I sell out completely? I have no idea where the share price is going but as I don't expect a strong move north for a few months at least I'm hoping to top up at the lowest possible price before then.I'll sort out a pop-up book explaining trading strategies for you.

[parob] 03/7/2018 17:00

Lets face it there are SO MANY potential catalysts.

[parob] 03/7/2018 16:54

Or a tie up with a pharma company. That should also do the trick.

[nobbygnome] 03/7/2018 16:11

I think one more deal with even some hint of revenue levels will light the blue touch paper here.....

[diamond fibre] 03/7/2018 16:08

Wait and see what the AGM holds, I am sure we will be plesently surprised.

[brucie5] 03/7/2018 15:05

Thanks Trotters. Please keep us updated. I've been in and out of this before, but never made any money, so curious as to timing. With shares like this, it can be all about timing. By which I mean, years of disappointment, and then...

[primal123] 03/7/2018 14:46

Exactly Scotty, he is probably not invested and wants to get back in at that price as he's a trader and probably lost trading!

[primal123] 03/7/2018 14:15

All you want Rathean is people to sell so you can top up in the 50s. I hope it never goes back there!
