Optibiotix Health Share Discussion Threads

I've just checked the margin requirement on IG and they have increased dramatically on OPTI. This may have caused a CFD SB positions to close.

Has Talking Trades bailed out?

Guys my point wasn't that I bought!!

It was the mm's response and behind the scenes orders that appear to be being worked that I thought may shed some light on the underlying strength we are currently experiencing.

everybody seems to want to comment on whether I should or shouldn't post if or when I sell yet nobody has mentioned that the mm's unanimously stated they are buyers of Opti shares and asked if I would sell any?!

I'd say that's a real change in sentiment and MM stance.

I went to Bluewater today , and walking around was given ten diet cakes ( 90 calories each ) as samples ,would it not be a good idea to give go figure bars the same treatment?

[suzyred] 14/1/2017 17:39

Opinion: No Opinion
Price: 70.50
Go figureToday 16:08Started go figure shakes and bars 3 days ago. Too soon to see weight progress yet but re products. I think I would say there are small improvements that could be made but I'd give them 3.5/5. I'm certainly not hungry in fact struggling sometimes to force down both shakes in a day.

[adamb68] 14/1/2017 17:25

I often found people that infuriate you are best ignored.Opinions matter either way and can be used to the best of your knowledge. Playground talk well that always happens. Once saw a big poster on a forum knock down every bad comment for over five years and he still posts now ignoring everyone else. So why stop posting!!!

[f3rdinand] 14/1/2017 17:25

I agree with Scotty...if you're happy to post that you're buying then be happy to share that your dumping stock too! Otherwise it looks a little manipulative in my eyes! Many will disagree with us and that's great too as it's an open board where all views are allowed to be aired...(except for Michaelmouse)

[scotty1] 14/1/2017 17:09

shrewdmole i said my piece on the matter,you are quite willing to post all your top ups but not your selling until now that is.Take it on the chin and don't act childish re the "I shall refrain from sharing info in future." you know all your followers will post for you not to stop posting etc etc.As said above we are all here to make money it's just some are more open about it than others.gl

[bobdown2] 14/1/2017 17:05

Shrew.mole. Thanks for yesterday's post. I use a big stockbroker so your post was very important. Please do not let individuals destroy what these boards were intended for.

[rafboy] 14/1/2017 16:44

Shrewdmole, we are all here for the same end, to make money. I value your input and hope you will continue to post.

[shrewdmole] 14/1/2017 16:34

Scotty

I only posted yesterday to give others the feedback from the mm's.

I sold my leveraged holding last year as I didn't want the exposure in leveraged shares when it was in a downtrend.

I have held a majority of my paid up stock.

I shall refrain from sharing info in future.

Lol JH just edited my post above naming you,and yes i would expect to hit 80p+ over the coming weeks,with news a fair bit more.

[john henry] 14/1/2017 15:04

Scotty if have said for many months that we may have had a large non institutional seller. Whether that was Shrewd or not is irrelevant, however it has been a brake on the price. Together with institutional selling over the past 12 months, Opti stock has had its fair share to contend with. With the potential for pretty explosive news and no substantial overhang, the share price Could rise to new highs very quickly. I'm expecting 80p over the next few weeks, without news.

[scotty1] 14/1/2017 15:01

belgrano i had already said "not that it matters" of course there is nothing wrong with taking a profit that is the name of the game,but when someone like shrewdmole who
with his "top ups" holds 100s of thousands and could swing the share price in a stock like OPTI for a short time anyways.I just believe that while they are adding all these top ups and posting all the positive stuff (then go completely quite)that they are more than likely selling and that just isn't the done thing in my books.

Anyways that's my last post on the subject and gl to him and all other holders,good things await hopefully.

edit
Much prefer a poster such as John Henry who also holds a good few and he had no qualms about posting when he sold a good few if my memory serves me correct,and i don't believe people on the thread pulled him down for doing so.

[belgrano2] 14/1/2017 13:54

cant really blame investors for not posting that they are selling, sometimes they do get verbally picked on, so tend not to shout about it. Nothing wrong with taking profits in my book, or exiting when you think the stock will slide. in hindsight he probably dis well, but has clearly been watching closely for a optimum time for re entry.
However he's clearly completed "due diligence", if hes been talking to our CEO about the company, and judges now a great re entry time.

[scotty1] 14/1/2017 11:52

JH looks like shrewdmole to me as he posts on the same stocks on LSE as shrewdmole on these boards,i said last year that i thought shrewdy was selling when he went quite,not that it matters as it is his prerogative whether to sell or buy, but he always posts top ups but never posts when he sells(not on this thread anyway),he just posts now and then that he as nothing to add at the moment or like he posted above the bb as got like a playground.Trust no one on the bbs.

Of course i could have it all wrong and they could be completely different people and i will be the first to apologize if i'm wrong.

As far as OPTI looks like it's onwards and upwards with loads of deals and news that should be on it's way gl all

[f3rdinand] 14/1/2017 11:08

I'm presuming the LSE poster was Shrewdmole? Exactly the same content (apart from the selling last year part)

[john henry] 14/1/2017 11:03

Parob there's a guy on LSE, posted yesterday that he had purchased 100k after being a seller through last year.

[neftanikoff] 14/1/2017 10:05

Still has the brass neck cheek to continue to ask questions but so above yourself so as to NOT answer questions yourself, as far as i know you are not Royalty, you and your tiny friends can huddle up together and plan your next 'illuminating' anti TW post,what a sad life you have.

[michaelmouse] 14/1/2017 09:57

It's great to have shrewdie back on the main thread isn't it? shrewdie's a big hitter.

Post 10609 on the main thread he owned 600,000 shares.

Topped up limitless times since. Posts 11255, 11435, 12040, 12784, 13361, 14650, 14746 (119,000) 15284 and yesterday post 18678 (100,000).

He/she must own 1,000,000+ shares now I'd imagine. About £700,000 worth or 1.3% or thereabouts of the issued share capital.

Is this correct shrewdmole?

[parob] 14/1/2017 09:37

Indeed it's great to have you back Shrewdie! Was that your 100K at 70.75 or was it filled in smaller chunks? Just trying to work out if that's a new II buying...

Looking forward to seeing finnCap's research note and target price when it's released.

The very last research note was by Hybridan back in July:



The target price at the time was 106p; since then there have been a number of developments, with the most significant IMO being the scientific 'breakthrough' where OPTI discovered microbiome modulators, novel oligosaccharides which increase the growth rate of bacteria already in the gut AND enhance a biological effect, for e.g growth of lp-ldl:

"1. Demonstration in human gut models of the ability of its microbiome modulators to increase the growth rate of specific microbial species in the human microbiome. This has now been demonstrated in multiple species, including OptiBiotix's cholesterol reducing strain (LP-LDL (TM) )

2. Demonstration in human gut models of the ability of its microbiome modulators to enhance a biological effect, such as cholesterol reduction. In the presence of microbiome modulators, OptiBiotix's cholesterol reducing strain (LP-LDL (TM) ) showed a threefold increase in cholesterol reduction

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 (cholesterol reduction)."

"OptiBiotix has demonstrated the ability of its novel oligosaccharides (carbohydrates that consist of a small number of sugars) to reduce cholesterol in human gut models by >20%."

When they state 'more than 20%', is that an average figure across different groups?

From the cholesterol results last April (before the breakthrough):

-- 7.2% reduction in LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) averaged across the whole test group

So does the 'more than 20%' relate to this group?

What about this high cholesterol group (again these results are before the breakthrough):

-- 36.7% reduction in volunteers' who had total cholesterol levels higher than 6mmol/L

Could we be looking at a much higher reduction for those in this group, for example a 40%, 50%, 60%++ reduction? At this stage we've only been told it's more than 20%, but it could be much much higher - perhaps we'll find out once the scientific publications are published and/or when our cardiovascular products are launched.

Would welcome anyone's thoughts on this.

What kind of value will finnCap put on this breakthrough? It's a first!

IMO once people have cottoned on to the trend reversal/chart we'll have plenty of money still sat on the sidelines piling in next week. Let's remember you can still buy in under 75p, the price SOH's brother paid in the Dec 2015 placing.

Barchart is signalling a buy for the first time in months and months!



I think I know which way the way the share price will be heading next week!

[john henry] 14/1/2017 09:18

Thanks for the info Shrewd, I said yesterday that the dynamics of the market had changed this week we've seen some large EOD sell blocks appearing but the share price moving up on the day. 25k 20k 10k sells being easily absorbed by the market.The share price has been in a near 15 month downtrend, a new phase and uptrend is most likely just beginning. The news that has been delivered and news that is expected could move the share price to test old highs Quite sharply. Sentiment has certainly reversed.

[john henry] 14/1/2017 09:07

Hey Shrewd welcome back m8.

[joyjoy13] 14/1/2017 08:57

Shrewdmole
Thank you for sharing that info, truly appreciated.
Good luck with your investment
