I am expecting the entire BOD to wade in at these giveaway prices.

"Opportunities of OSI's quality do not grow on trees."

Unfortunately this one has Dutch Elm disease.

[hedgehog 100] 18/1/2022 18:35

2LB,

OSI's turnover isn't declining, it's increased in 2021, a year in which many companies have seen their turnover fall.

If you can't even get the basics like that right, that why should anyone take you remotely seriously?

And here is the record of OSI's annual revenues reported since floating in April 2016:

2015: £290,150

2016: £477,577

2017: £647,580

2018: £957,461

2019: £1,171,586

2020: £1,434,875

I.e. a circa five-fold increase in annual revenue in five years.


After the interruption of the pandemic, that trend should resume this year, and another five-fold increase would see annual revenues at c. £7.5M., would should yield millions of profit.


Losses of OSI's size are comparatively small for the tech sector, and experienced tech sector investors will know that.

They're comparable to those of CCS (Crossword Cybersecurity), which has a market cap. of more than six time's OSI's, with similar revenues.


In addition, the CEO's salary isn't out of the ordinary for someone of his ability and experience.

If he was being paid £100Ks., as with some other small companies, I would agree with you.


Finally, the cliched 'better investments elsewhere' line is a cop-out.

What are they?!

I agree that there are other good investments out there, and I hold OSI as part of a diversified portfolio, but as it is I have a lot of cash on my account with no good enough home for, while sticking to my diversification rules (i.e. a limit into each share).

Opportunities of OSI's quality do not grow on trees.

[2lb] 18/1/2022 18:08

When the cost of your CEO is >15% of your annual turnover, you are declining, and you make thumping losses then one might suggest there are better investment opportunities elsewhere.....

David,

I was responding to the suggestion that someone could buy a large placing-sized stake in OSI on the market.

I used the Nigel Wray OTAQ example because it was just a week ago, and in a company with a market cap. of just a few-several million pounds, like OSI.

For the uninitiated, Nigel Wray is worth about £100M.

I've no reason to think he's involved here, though I don't see why he wouldn't invest here if he had the opportunity.

He seems to be a very good judge of investments, and I invested into a couple of companies he was invested in last year - both loss-making incidentally.

[novandi] 18/1/2022 17:01

This one is funny. But maybe you and hog both need to stop throwing your toys out the pram.

[novandi] 18/1/2022 17:00

That one must have kept hog up all night. Still a lame put down.

[david gruen] 18/1/2022 16:59

Can you provide a couple of lines around the Nigel Wray connection for potential new investors please(and me) :-)

Much appreciated.

[hedgehog 100] 18/1/2022 16:56

"License to Spill more like"


Well Nigel Wray, 'The English Buffett', doesn't seem to think so, does he.

But I suppose that you, a thick, trolling, pumping-dumping little crook, know better?!

[hedgehog 100] 18/1/2022 16:51

You're also, Megasonic, a prime example of the usernames types rule of thumb:

The more egotistical-conceited the username, the thicker the poster.
While the more self-depreciating the username, the more intelligent the poster.

Check it out, & you'll see what I mean!

[megasonic] 18/1/2022 16:48

Double O Sh!t - License to Spill more like

[hedgehog 100] 18/1/2022 16:47

Am I missing something?

Has the concept of time suddenly disappeared?

To say LAST SUMMER that an OSI placing wasn't imminent is in no way inconsistent with saying something different NOW.

And to say LAST YEAR, when OSI was rising, that the share price wasn't in freefall, is equally in no way inconsistent with saying something different NOW.

You are clearly a brain-dead moron Megasonic.

[hedgehog 100] 18/1/2022 16:38

Unrelated?!

OTAQ, along with OSI, is one of my 'double O' shares, which should appeal to James Bond fans.

Their bullish prospects should provide a real 'licence to thrill' ... or should I say a 'licence to krill' in OTAQ's case!

[megasonic] 18/1/2022 16:38

Gotta love it. The guy who said there was no sign of a Placing now says he always knew a Placing was coming. Then he denied OSI share price was in free fall but is now suggesting the share price was in free fall. You could not make this up. BS Artist.

[hedgehog 100] 18/1/2022 16:30

And the OTAQ share price was in freefall recently, but look how it's now rebounding, on fairly modest volumes, and with no news.

Illiquidity is a double-edged sword, and it cuts both ways.

Anyone selling OSI at the current price is selling at a loss, and beyond a few retail punters who bought in about a week ago for a few p higher, there will be very few shares available at this level.

Once they're hoovered up, watch this move upwards strongly.

[kemche] 18/1/2022 16:28

7k bought - Nigel Wray?

[kemche] 18/1/2022 16:27

Very apposite. As always.

[megasonic] 18/1/2022 16:27

TL;DRMore unrelated nonsense from Rampenstein's monster so that must be:BS;DR - Bull Sh!t; Didn't Read

[hedgehog 100] 18/1/2022 16:21

This is an example of a buying decent quantity of shares -

Nigel Wray has just increased his holding in OTAQ, from 4,576,232 shares to 5,964,868 shares.
So it looks like he has bought 1,388,636 shares in the recent placing, at 22p each, = £305,499.92.

So far today, just under 29,000 OSI shares have been traded, for a value of just under £3.3K.

I.e. barely 1% of the value of Nigel Wray's recent OTAQ top-up.

It doesn't really compare, does it?

[megasonic] 18/1/2022 16:13

Quote from hog:-"It's hard to buy decent quantities [of OSI shares] on the market"-===OSI's share price is in free fall. This is not because buyers are snapping up shares. It is because holders are offloading at a time when there is a lack of buyers. Hence yet another deep red day today. And a few more red days should come as no surprise.

Classic MM treeshake as they collect cheap shares for the raise at a premium of £1.
