Back to normality after yesterdays moment of madness.
Gap open closed and starting to drop.
Need to watch support levels closely, TP has already listed
them.

You were jumping to conclusions yesterday when you said I was waiting for the news to come to me.
I phoned the company when OXB started rising about 3 weeks ago but they wouldn't say anything. Not really surprising but worth a try.
I also spoke to some research assistants at UCL who have friends at Kings to see if they knew how things were going but they didn't want to say anything useful.
Internet & msg board searching revealed nothing new.
The larger buys mostly precede the news so I wondered how the bigger investors were finding out.
In the mean time I'm just happy to watch my profits grow because it seems from the news that the rise is sustainable.

I wonder if had you had asked the company about the current progress of the Innurex nerve repair programme they would have given you the info you wanted?

I think we've been spoilt with yesterdays nice moves.
I was hoping for more of a down move by now to test some
supports, but there doesn't seem to be much happening.
I wonder if yesterdays high gap open provided the end
of year book balancers with the opportunity to get most
of their selling done? They must of thought all their
Christmas's had come at once. :-)
If this is the case then it's going to be back to boring
old range trading for the week, with possibly a gentle rise
to the end of week option expirys.
We'll find out when the US provides the lead this afternoon.
Melnibone.

Yep I was very specific, I asked about each drug & was just referred to the statements the company had made that we all see on the newsfeeds.
