As Dave444 keeps pointing out on the corporate finance side they are woeful to say the least.

Indeed I asked the question at the last shareholder call if they should be getting outside help!

I think the Investment Director has been brought in because the board overpaid for its original FVR stake. Evidenced by the dilution down from c34.75% to 21.52% or 26.85% (after conversion of Loan Notes).

If the BoD want the respect of VCs - it is one thing knowing which tech companies to buy, it is another buying your stake at the right price. Realising that they needed in-house expertise is welcome.

I would have thought Bruce was doing all the searching and DD on new investees...

Anyone remember what his job was... "finding 4 new investees each quarter"! LOL

jp, no but if they expected to be able to invest in a few months time you would need to have the prospects lined up which would take months to line up and do dd on etc ..

SW, I note that you were immediately ticked down but the prior two posts suggesting either forward selling of a placing or 'borrowed stock' clattering the price were left untouched.

It's almost as if someone likes any conspiracy theory posts :)

Personally I think the selling is just that. Perfectly legitimate market operations by people who want/need the cash or want to take a punt on something else or are just plain bored.

No conspiracy necessary.

SW are you suggesting Al is sitting on material news DA already sold.

Would be nice but i doubt it.

[johnb5] 20/1/2020 11:26

SW hopefully that's the case. Don't understand the continued selling at these levels.

john, maybe he knows cash will be available in X months time ? so he goes and gets a shopping list prepared ?

FFS see 46455.

More borrowed stock, if all sellers could just add a odd number to all their trades it would help. The fact that the bid is hardly moving despite three fairly decent sells tells its own story

[johnb5] 20/1/2020 11:08

Fairly obvious whats going on with the selling. New guy needs cash to spend.

The surgical training aid is delivered by FundamentalVR, whose platform Fundamental Surgery enables rehearsal of medical and surgical procedures, providing data insight into competency and skills development. The platform is, with partners including The Mayo Clinic, UCLH and UCLA and is accredited by the Royal College of Surgeons of England and the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS).

Five back-to-back demonstrations will be delivered live on the ABHI UK Pavilion from 10:30am – 11:45am on the 27th January 2019. The demonstrations, delivered by consultant surgeon Omar Sabri, will explain how, why and what is beneficial about the platform when used for surgical training.

Speaking about the technology, Mr Sabri said: “The Fundamental Surgery platform is an incontrovertible leader in the field, providing me with deep data insight into my cohort, whilst monitoring key trends and insights. Throughout each simulation a user's skills and knowledge are assessed and measured within the system, providing feedback on instrument use, procedural accuracy, knowledge, decision making and patient impact.”

Managing director, international, ABHI, Paul Benton added: “Virtual Reality takes users into a virtual world, where they can move around a virtual patient, whilst having the ability to make complex surgical decisions in a safe environment. To have innovative companies like FundamentalVR showcase the latest capabilities of this technology is really exciting, and I very much look forward to seeing this displayed at Arab Health.”

Arab Health takes place 27 January – 30 January 2020 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

nCipher Security, an Entrust Datacard company and provider of trust, integrity and control for business-critical information and applications, declares 2020 the “Year of Encryption.” nCipher surveyed over 1,000 American adults to understand more about their thoughts on personal and digital security practices, as well as their plans into the new year. The data supports defining 2020 as the “Year of Encryption,” stemming from greater interest in – and awareness of – digital security.

Against a backdrop of national and international dialogue around security, nearly a quarter of respondents (24.3%) say that they already update their passwords once a month or more, while some 72.1% say that they plan to update their passwords and practice better personal security habits in 2020. However as one in four (25%) Americans say they plan to use the current year as part of their password update, there’s still more education required as this is a tactic that can easily be guessed by hackers

I can't believe people are still ramping an advertorial cartoon.

[jonc] 20/1/2020 10:54

What does borrowed stock look like?Muppet.

[duxy786] 20/1/2020 10:53

Sweepie worried about the selling.


He should worry when the selling stops. That is when the bucket shops have loaded up IMO ready for the staged climb and placing news to hit.....see it waaaaaay too many times here.

[sweepie2] 20/1/2020 10:50

Have to say that latest sell doesn't look like borrowed stock and fairly big at 185k
