Acquisition and a good one boysGood news - unexpected

[ronwilkes123] 03/4/2019 09:51

Are you here for the long term buywell ?Or you here for your 55-60p

I like SDI very much .... and I also have a liking for another little UK small cap stock

Like SDI it has a track record of growing turnover, little debt, has cash , and expects to record another bumper year as it has just stated record orders in the AGM statement. The only difference is this one has been paying dividends for a few years now as the BOD and family members own circa 30% of the shares, currently 3%.

I expect SDI to pay dividends in about 3 years from now if it does not get acquired.

Likewise I think LPA Group(LPA) could be acquired also at the current cyclic chart low that their share price currently resides. A completely different sector BUT they are involved in good green things that help the common man.

Just for the hell of it I have done a 10 year comparison between the two as I like them both

And guess what ........................... it's currently a tie

thanks edwards9, I remember reading about AMBU and initially was a bit worried. I might revisit AMBU myself but from my receding memory I think they were the highly rated type of share i normally avoid.

[edwards9] 02/4/2019 08:29

Pyemckay,The company is AMBU, listed in Denmark.

disposable instruments is surely a threat to proreveal and i understand that the disposable market is growing in america. I read about this when SSON came to the market. Terry invested in such a company producing disposable instruments. Luckily SDI do not hold all their eggs in one basket.

[buywell2] 02/4/2019 08:06

You might think that ... buywell does not

Prion protein residue/contamination of surgical instruments in the USA and the RoW has a long long way to run yet.

In fact IMO it has only just begun

The incidence of other animal species acquiring TSE's is growing exponentially
Now marine life is being affected also

It's a ticking time bomb

Humans eat many of those species affected

Not really much selling when you're at near highs...!

Also lots of posts on ProReveal but wouldnt put too many eggs in that basket at the risk of disappointment. It's not the equity story here. A kicker if it works, but very much feet being dragged and surely a risk of tech leapfrogging as time passes from something diagnostic (which PR is), to something more remediative.

[ronwilkes123] 02/4/2019 07:45

Could be results news at end of month tooSelling should level off over next week or so imo

[buywell2] 02/4/2019 07:32

Very Good

One would imagine there is a queue for its use with 30 people plus wanting to use it.

Another example of the quality of staff/skills/know how that SDI has at its disposal

Which grows with every acquisition ... inter departmental/group knowledge and skills

bodes well

Syngene news:



"Top UK University is successfully using Syngene imaging system to rapidly study proteins, DNA and cells associated with breast cancer

April 1st, 2019

Syngene, a world-leading manufacturer of image analysis solutions, today announced its G:BOX Chemi XX6 multi-application imager is being utilised by scientists at a major London university to speed up analysis of proteins, DNA and cells associated with breast and a range of other cancer types.

Scientists at the university are using a G:BOX Chemi XX6 multi-application imager to rapidly detect changes in DNA and protein expressed in human breast and other cancer tissues utilising DNA gels and ECL-based chemiluminescent Western blots respectively. They are also using the system to record images of six-well plates containing cancer cells stained with crystal violet to estimate total viable cell counts. The data generated is providing information which scientists at the university are using to understand fundamental mechanisms of cancer cells and their microenvironment and could help to identify new therapeutic targets and patient stratification methods.

The Laboratory Manager at the university explained: “Originally, we were looking for two imaging systems because we need equipment that can image Westerns, DNA gels and even multi-well plates. We reviewed equipment from three suppliers and the feedback from all the researchers was that the Syngene G:BOX Chemi XX6 provided images of good quality in a broad range of applications and this meant we only had to have one system for everything.”

He continued: “Now 30 of our researchers regularly use the G:BOX Chemi XX6 system to image around 10 Western blots daily. This system is simple to use and allows us to have a higher throughput of results compared to using X-ray film. At full capacity, we think we could generate 20 blot images every day and we even use the G:BOX Chemi XX6 for producing images of cells stained with crystal violet. In future, some of our researchers want to do fluorescent Western blotting and we have had the right lighting fitted so that our system will allow us to do this too.”

“We’re delighted that this major UK University is using a Syngene imaging system to accelerate their cancer research,” comments Dr Martin Biggs, Sales Manager at Syngene. “The choice of a G:BOX Chemi XX6 for use by so many scientists for such a high throughput of Western blots shows how reliable this technology is for generating good quality imaging results with a range of diverse applications.”

A Dozen Dolphins Have Beached Themselves, Showing The Deadly Hallmark of Alzheimer's

31 MAR 2019

Over a dozen dolphins, stranded on the beaches of Florida and Massachusetts, have been found with brains full of amyloid plaques, a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease.

The scientists who made the discovery think it may be a warning to us all: alongside the Alzheimer's-like plaques, the team also found the environmental toxin BMAA.

buywell note:

It is not just Dolphins but also whales ... this is why they are beaching themselves

They have contracted the equivalent of a marine form of BSE

The amount of bad prions from both contaminated human and animal waste, and rotting bodies of infected carcasses flowing into the seas from rivers and streams has finally reached toxic levels for those in the sea that consume large quantities of other living marine life who likewise are also infected.

In other words predator marine species demonstrate the symptoms first because their chances of contaminated prion material is multiplied thousands of times by their intake of other fish ... one who might be infected ... and thus easy to catch.


NOT an april fool

Does not yet appear to be in the UK deer population yet but at risk



See also -

and

which confirms no CWD yet detected in the UK so probably still safe to consume road kill.

Aslo however the above Scot pulication states "Human health implications - There are no human health implications because the disease is not zoonotic."

In view of Buywell's above posts could this be wrong? Buywell - over to you to take on the Scottish gov!!

The US Government agency Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has this to say:


''An additional study begun in 2009 by Canadian and German scientists, which has not yet been published in the scientific literature, is evaluating whether CWD can be transmitted to macaques—a type of monkey that is genetically closer to people than any other animal that has been infected with CWD previously.

On July 10, 2017, the scientists presented a summary of the study’s progress (access the recorded presentation and slides Cdc-pdf[PDF 3.88MB]), in which they showed that CWD was transmitted to monkeys that were fed infected meat (muscle tissue) or brain tissue from CWD-infected deer and elk.

Some of the meat came from asymptomatic deer that had CWD (i.e., deer that appeared healthy and had not begun to show signs of the illness yet). Meat from these asymptomatic deer was also able to infect the monkeys with CWD. CWD was also able to spread to macaques that had the infectious material placed directly into their brains.

This study showed different results than a previous study published in the Journal of Virology in 2018, which had not shown successful transmission of CWD to macaques. The reasons for the different experimental results are unknown.

To date, there is no strong evidence for the occurrence of CWD in people, and it is not known if people can get infected with CWD prions. Nevertheless, these experimental studies raise the concern that CWD may pose a risk to people and suggest that it is important to prevent human exposures to CWD.

Additional studies are under way to identify if any prion diseases could be occurring at a higher rate in people who are at increased risk for contact with potentially CWD-infected deer or elk meat.

Because of the long time it takes before any symptoms of disease appear, scientists expect the study to take many years before they will determine what the risk, if any, of CWD is to people.''

Indeed, nothing wrong in leaving something for the next man!Medium to long term looking excellent.

[soundbuy] 26/3/2019 15:52

Had had a blistering run.....folks falling over themselves at 49/50/51 for a position......all healthy....

Onwards and upwards............

Liquidity works both ways.....

[xajorkith] 26/3/2019 15:01

Good value again below 45p, with an expected year end trading update in late April / early May.

Trading "comfortably in line" back in February, so every chance they'll come in ahead & we move back to 50p+

[ronwilkes123] 26/3/2019 13:30

Glasshalffull being one Think pieric was another

[ronwilkes123] 26/3/2019 13:28

I'm not sure it's all them A few regarded twitter posters announced sales on Friday - I think partly they are to blame as people blindly follow suit

[pshevlin] 26/3/2019 13:23

Looks like Miton at it again. That pile of idiots have cost me a lot of money recently.
