Vernalis Share Discussion Threads

All the bad news from the delay, or cancellation of Frova for pre-menstrual migraine is now in the share price

Frova is still an effective drug for migraine and is still growing market share - albeit slowly.Apokyn is a small but useful drug for Parkinsons Disease.
The rest of the portfolio is pretty long term and I guess the smart thing to do would be to wait until after the next market announcement - 12th March last year.

YEP maybe a lot more pain as has been mentioned before on here resently,surely VER has more than one egg in the basket, fully listed ,Directors buying etc.Bombed out stock, but lots of buys of late.If it goes back to where it was we will all do well, have nt been in this stock for years, worth a tipple.

New partner on board - wonder what their motives will be - must have some kind of plan to take on the full amount in the market

That'll keep the management and directors champagne cupboard stocked for another couple of years then

Mystery solved, it was a placing of 30 million shares at 6.5p, raising approx £3million for the company.All taken up though!

'shot up'!?

[wikroberts] 15/1/2008 09:12

yes, the price just shot up. Guess they sorted out the funding...

[fhmktg] 15/1/2008 08:28

27 million bought - by whom, I wonder?
Lots of interest in bios at the moment.

[fhmktg] 02/1/2008 10:18

Has there been a positive stock pick recommendation for Vernalis, seems to have been some sustained buying this morning?

[tachycardia] 25/12/2007 11:30

Happy christmas all I bought 15000 share on T20 basis at 7.76 after waiting for three months. Shall I add another another 14000 share at 6 P to make the total £2000 prescription. Any suggestion from experts in Vernalis ?

[nailhead] 24/12/2007 12:56

cant have much further to go, well about another 6 and a bit p at most innit

[nailhead] 24/12/2007 10:52

one wonders when this is goin to stop

[nightcrawler] 21/12/2007 22:51

I hope they turn it around - thats all I can say - good product ideas - just need some good project manangement!

[aim gambler] 21/12/2007 12:13

maybe near the bottom considering the new shares issued at 18.67p,although i do realise they still dilute the existing shares,also director buying recently and somebody buying 1768004 shares(£123500 in value)this morning. i bought 30000 myself with TDW, which has,nt shown. not ramping just a personal opinion. anybody with their views?

[boivnink] 21/12/2007 11:18

Close this dog down. Put it out of its misery

[adgd2] 21/12/2007 09:03

If you think its over I suggest you listen to Sturge at the recent Piper Jaffray conference. Lots of pain still to come.

[vow] 21/12/2007 08:42

Well thats the issue of fund raising out in the open and not very painful at all and didn't warrant the HUGE fall in share price.

Question is whether that is it or if they will carry out a few couple more smaller placings to raise money over the next year while they wait for the appeal to the FDA.

Watching closely.

[latifs100] 20/12/2007 14:15

i sudda have too

[pugg1ey] 19/12/2007 11:50

Peter should have waited. Would have got twice as many shares for his money :-)

[vaio07] 16/12/2007 17:57

why is the share price at 8p?

[jweekes] 13/12/2007 14:54

Anyone holding these should be aware that next year GSK's Trexima (combination triptan/Naproxen) and generic sumatriptan will enter the market. Frovatriptan may be worth significantly less than it is now.

[latifs100] 07/12/2007 00:33

do wot antisome does ..pay directors in shares... holding from 80p, @ 40p,

[gordonbrown] 02/12/2007 11:42

The question needs to be asked, do the directors earn the massive salaries?

I'm not a happy shareholder now!!!
