As we are hopefully on the cusp of great things, I wonder why Evans has been off loading?

[someuwin] 18/1/2017 08:23

"...she was responsible for key consumer accounts including Sainsbury’s, Waitrose, M&S and Tesco."

Nice appointment and good to see we can attract such talent.

[nashwan123] 18/1/2017 07:57

Christina looks to be an A1 candidate having built her own business. Also agree that full sales roll out is not far off now and hopefully the explosion in revenues too.

[parob] 18/1/2017 07:56

I'm sure these new appointments will be offered share options as part of their package too - everyone will be working towards the same goal.Just imagine the contacts Per and Christina must have between them!

[shrewdmole] 18/1/2017 07:52

Worth noting soh raves about the low cash burn so if he has decided now is the time to be appointing big hitting directors then we must be very close to commercial rollout of products.

[bernieboy] 18/1/2017 07:35

Excellent appointment. Another brick in the Great Wall of Opti.

[parob] 18/1/2017 07:31

Another fantastic appointment, which will no doubt free up some of SOH's precious time so he can continue to develop and expand the business. Great CV!

[fozdad] 18/1/2017 07:09

Her CV looks like it's been designed specifically for OPTI !

[f3rdinand] 18/1/2017 07:07

OPTI certainly appointing some big hitters! I wonder what is attracting all this talent?

Optibiotix - David Evans share sale, panic not
PUBLISHED: 18 Jan 2017 @ 05:49

After hours yesterday it was announced that former NED David Evans had reduced his holding in Optibiotix (LSE:OPTI) from 3,478,732 shares (4.5%) to 2,623,517 shares (3.4%). Are we panicked?

Evans is a bit of a guru in this sector but he is old and is believed to have one or two health issues. He is not a director so can sell these shares while he cannot sell shares he owns in, say, Collagen (LSE:COS) where he is still on board.

If I get to his age (TW writing) I shall not be hoarding shares for the benefit of my nearest and dearest but will also be selling enough to bring in an extra shift of blonde, short skirted, Swedish nurses to attend to my every need..

The market may not react with glee to this news but we do not regard it as material. we expect very big positive news shortly and the shares are a buy at up to 80p with a target to sell of 100

[john henry] 17/1/2017 21:33

Qs99 you don't normally declare until you have completed selling.

[qs99] 17/1/2017 21:11

Great that he has declared his hand IMO and maybe that spike the other day signalled the end of his selling, let's see.

[john henry] 17/1/2017 21:04

If the share price starts to move into positive territory I will be adding for defo.

[marnewton] 17/1/2017 20:18

Aye JH, lookin' good;¬)

Cheers,

Optibiotix 83p. _ skin division 70p at the end of the year?

The trades are telling a story and have been for a couple of weeks.

Buys seem bulkier balanced by smaller bored sellers.

[rafboy] 17/1/2017 18:32

So our seller is revealed and he still holds far far more than most of us on here. Without looking at this via the old "rose tints" this is good news. Seller done so no drag on the share price. An ex chairman who has retained over a 2 million share holding. Perhaps this explains why we are now moving forward without taking a few more steps back.

[parob] 17/1/2017 18:26

Thanks for confirming JH. Looks like we'll have nothing to hold us back on the next piece of good news.

[john henry] 17/1/2017 18:07

Technicals looking good Mar, I notice the 10 day has punched decisively through the 50 for the first time since falling through middle of June last year. Positive test day and EOD candle.starting to look very positive. Another higher weekly close and change in trend more or less confirmed. Close above 74p, yabba dabba do

[whl2] 17/1/2017 17:57

Great guy actually,he did a cracking job with Shields Diagnostics. Made a few bob with them over the years before their merger

[john henry] 17/1/2017 17:56

Parob, any major holder reducing their position will declare once they have completed. We now know where the overhang has come from and that it has been cleared.

[owenmo] 17/1/2017 17:47

Evans above! beat that for a cv.
Now tell me he was a single-figure handicap golfer.
