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.

It is intended that Dr Brenton will join the MMI Board on or before the next AGM
as Medical Director.

Dr Brenton is a Cancer Research UK Senior Clinical Research Fellow and Honorary
Consultant in Medical Oncology at the University of Cambridge. Dr Brenton's

patients. He gained his MB BS in 1988 at University College London Medical

vaccines are expected this year. Together with the planned clinical trials on
ruthenium and our pineapple proteases, we may have ten or more cancer clinical
trials ongoing this year. The experience James brings to the team, especially
his expertise in the use of platinum-based drugs in cancer therapy trials, is
both timely and very useful. We all wish James every success at MMI and
continuing success in his existing positions.'

This is just getting better. EK want's to be very careful, but as he's a shrewed old boy I wouldn't be supprised to see him reverse his position and go long.

mitzy - 15 Apr 2005 09:04 - 1276 of 2444

Apparently there is a presentation by MMI at Buchannons offices on the 26th of the month where about 60 brokers/interested parties will attend to hear the latest from Ruthenium and Genvax..

goldfinger - 15 Apr 2005 09:44 - 1277 of 2444

Good news Mitzy, looks like we may have news earlier than we thought.

cheers GF.

mickeyskint - 15 Apr 2005 10:38 - 1278 of 2444

You can have mine for 10 and I'll throw in the MIL.

MS

goldfinger - 15 Apr 2005 11:57 - 1279 of 2444

Starting to move back in a little on buys.

cheers GF. PS, oh what a rotten day.

mickeyskint - 15 Apr 2005 12:03 - 1280 of 2444

Red all over GF. May change when the yanks start.

MS

goldfinger - 15 Apr 2005 12:08 - 1281 of 2444

Im hoping so mickey, keep the flag flying , have to go to the dammed dentist again later. AGHH........

cheers GF.

andysmith - 15 Apr 2005 13:28 - 1282 of 2444

Good news flow Mitzy, thanks.
Still picking my entry point but best be before 26th.
What a shite day folks, good buying opportunities unless yanks drop again, then next week might be even better?
GF, thanks for you note, wish you didn't mention dentists, my turn 1st thing Monday!!

jimmy b - 15 Apr 2005 15:40 - 1283 of 2444

Im waiting to get back in too andy ,but everything of mine is a sea of red,and i need to sell something to buy back MMG,its a vicious circle at the moment..
Hope next weeks better..JB..

mayiguo - 15 Apr 2005 16:00 - 1284 of 2444

share price continue to tick up with many sells, why?

andysmith - 16 Apr 2005 12:00 - 1285 of 2444

JB, fortunately I still have my cash left from taking profits this year and only have 4 stocks at moment. Yanks hammered again on Friday, could be good buying opportunity next week. Mayiguo, Pharmas & drug stocks one of few areas to survive last few days due to good news in the sector, forget who though.
GF, do you think the shorting has finished now and its in a steady range 180-195 until next news?

hampi_man - 16 Apr 2005 12:29 - 1286 of 2444

BUY confirmed on Britishbulls

goldfinger - 17 Apr 2005 23:00 - 1287 of 2444

Cant say anything with confidence at the moment Andy as the general market and the US is determining share prices. Just have to say Fridays peformance was very good considering the general state of the market.

Nice to see Tom Winnifrith being very bullish this evening and talking down the scare mongerers.

cheers GF.
