MEDICAL MARKETING, A Speculative Punt That Might Reap Rich Rewards (MMG)     

goldfinger - 01 Sep 2004 15:33

This ones a heck of a specualive investment but it seems that the institutions are willing to stomp up the cash to back it in the long term.

Heres the latest news from Killik stocbrokers on the company..........

MEDICAL MARKETING Joint Venture

We recently highlighted Medical Marketing (MMG) as worthy of attention. The company, in which I have a personal share holding, has this morning announced the formation of a joint venture, Genvax, to develop a novel DNA vaccine platform technology.

Human trials have been underway since 2001 in areas such as Lymphoma and Myeloma but the technology has broad applications in cancer, viral and bacterial infections (hence the term platform). The technology works on boosting the immune system by teaching it to identify hard to recognise cancer proteins as foreign and destroy them. Early results from the 25 patient trial in lymphoma are encouraging and evaluation of the result is expected by March 2005. Successful results should mean big pharmaceutical groups will start to take financial and commercial interests around that time.

This looks to be the first of a series of announcements due from Medical Marketing as it has a range of predominantly cancer trials moving into the clinical stage. (news flow could push the price higher)

The stock has made good progress in recent sessions up to the mid-80p level where the company is valued at just under 40 million. ENDS.

Please DYOR

cheers GF.

Thanks for that DB66. Of course he's an expert in his field, I just wish he didn't short mine. As for sheds, I've got two of them both with holes in the roof. Whenever I have one over the top the guv' threatens to lock me in one of them for the night.

I`ve never met the bloke but he must have something against me because he does seems to follow my shares around .I am currently in Cobra and thinking of selling because EK is in them as well but that is exactly what he wants isn`t it.I think i might have one or even two over the top tonight and then i don`t care where i sleep.I`m sure EK will put us up in his pad with all that dosh he is making out of MMG

how come? I am just a small potato in this stock... :_(

doughboy66 - 01 Apr 2005 14:06 - 1017 of 2444

A small potato? Plant that potato and you get a plant with loads of potatoes,keep on planting and you end up with a field of potatoes.Size isn`t important, its what you do with it that is,so my wife says .lol

o sorry ...make a mistake...

moneyplus - 01 Apr 2005 15:13 - 1019 of 2444

EK actually owns a large stake in GMC and I believe maybe a director?--he's not likely to short his own stock!! I hope^^

Chad in the next couple of weeks...

moneyplus - 01 Apr 2005 16:09 - 1021 of 2444

I have just bought in again having missed out on last weeks fantastic gains but sold at a modest profit so I hope this time to ride them right up!! Mitzy do you mean news in the next couple of weeks?? I hope so. cheers MP

chad - 01 Apr 2005 19:05 - 1022 of 2444

Good to av u on board MP.

chad - 01 Apr 2005 19:05 - 1023 of 2444

Mitzy, cheers for the reply.

andysmith - 02 Apr 2005 10:08 - 1024 of 2444

Mitzy, now that this board is full of investors who have paid a good sp can you confirm what you mean by "a couple of weeks" and how you know?
I have and do value your input here but in September you said news in a couple of weeks and it ended up being March 2005 and the sp drifted from 80p to 60p.
If we have to wait months for this news I can see sp easily hitting 200p and maybe even down to 180p? Timing is going to be the essence with this one now.
For info, I'm not shorting, just using my knowledge of MMG sp movements after holding for over a year. Those who have bought based upon MMG portfolio of products coming through should Hold or ADD. These are fantastic breakthroughs and the big pharmas need them. I am just taking a view at the moment of where the sp will hold, I'd rather pay 230p next week with it holding up well than see it fall to 180p and think scollops!! The lower it falls the more time I have to get back in. I sold some because a profit is only a profit when taken, I also held when down most of last year and you should do the same now if you are holding a paper loss, it will eventually be a good profit.
MMG will be huge but between news it will fall until there is THE major breakthrough.

mitzy - 02 Apr 2005 15:28 - 1025 of 2444

Nothings for certain Andy and personally speaking I've taken a battering this past week when I could have sold..first of all DB is meeting the analyst from Peel Hunt to discuss his note sometime next week and then there the updated Insinger note where if you remember they had a short term target of 160p about 6 weeks ago .Yes I recall saying there would be news back in September and the Oncosense trials news is about 3 months overdue but I am told there is nothing to worry about as everything is in order but what we need to hear is news of a tie-up with a large pharma which will really lift the shares and until we hear that I would expect the sp to drift.Having said that the sp has almost quadrupled in less than 3 months to be a star performer this year so any fallback is probably only profit taking..
cheers.

andysmith - 02 Apr 2005 16:18 - 1026 of 2444

Mitzy, thanks for that, glad to hear that despite the euphoria around MMG that another hardened follower agrees with me that the sp could drift back after such a large rise. MMG can, sorry WILL go much further but now I'm glad I gambled, took profit and can buy back in at the appropriate time. I now have a very good margin to get back in with more shares or spend less dosh to get mine back. MMG is still a success story just beginning and I took a big gamble but history of holding this share and taking a risk for once appears to have paid off for me.

hlyeo98 - 04 Apr 2005 08:17 - 1027 of 2444

I have just gone into MMG at 223p. I think it is bottom fishing now. Looks cheap considering its potential.

mitzy - 04 Apr 2005 08:42 - 1028 of 2444

Another bear raid this morning and its now back to where it was before the Genvax news thats almost 100p off in the last 6 days and if it falls below 200p I would consider buying more.dyor.

chad - 04 Apr 2005 10:44 - 1029 of 2444

Mitzy, maybe if more people knew what you knew about the imminent further development updates, MMI would not be as oversold as it is now, back to pre-Genvax levels as you said. Time to buy more on the cheap?

mickeyskint - 04 Apr 2005 10:46 - 1030 of 2444

My bum's sore today.

mitzy - 04 Apr 2005 11:02 - 1031 of 2444

chad:
Indeed it is fairly cheap below 200p and could bounce here back to 220p in a few days..

chad - 04 Apr 2005 11:26 - 1032 of 2444

By the way, where has Goldfinger got to these days?

bhunt1910 - 04 Apr 2005 11:39 - 1033 of 2444

Mickey Skint - Must have been that curry you had last night?
