Bioprogress (BPRG)     

scorpion - 13 Aug 2003 13:54

Bioprogress is a stock I have been in and out of quite a few times since it floated in May but not much mention here on the Investors' Room. Does anyone else follow this stock. I see it is up 1.5p today and a few good buyers seem to have appeared.

Your lucky to be riding a chariot.

Has SEO paid anything to BPRG yet...if not, when and in what form?The charts give grounds for a rise to 100p just on the recent news.BPRG is keeping us happy with a nice string of info.statements.However,if you read carefully,they still have'nt installed the film casting line from Valence Tech.BV,which was purchased last Aug.and is expected to be ready to produce films sometime before Aug.this year at the Brighton factory.The Tampa facility will satisfy demand for GMP film,until then.Callisto gives about a year,maybe less in Europe,as the time to wait for the reg. of generic compounds in a new delivery form...until then,we have to hope that one of the major drug/detergent manufacturers expresses interest.Then,won't they have to do tests to see if it all works before giving contracts?Can the Tampa facility and eventually Brighton cope with the load in the event of some big contract?As long as they keep giving news about patents they will stay visible...80 patents in application or granted seems an awful lot to protect.Maybe they will make more money in court actions this year than in manufacturing and royalties.Certainly a very interesting stock to hold with enormous potential in future as long as the techniques work and the management does'nt blow it.Come to think of it,one of the major pharmas should buy them out now,patents and all.

ethel: I believe SEO have paid BPRG some costs towards their Court fees. No news as yet on the damages claim. You go onto to make some good points re production...but all anyone can say without inside knowledge is that the production facilites are moving forward...there is also a possibility of a manufacturing plant in China which you have not mentioned (Global coverage). Re detergent manufacturers...the Evening Standard mentioned that BPRG have been working successfully with Proctor and Gamble. We will have to wait and see what happens but as you say there is enormous potential, indeed the latest patent could well be used by the big pharmas as a way of distinguishing the AIDS drugs shipped to Africa that are then pushed back into home markets undercutting margins, so again the potential is enormous. I agree a rise to 1 looks possible. jgt

Could be a good day on bprg.

Fred1new - 14 Feb 2005 11:47 - 1768 of 2372

Nice to see favourable buys to sells with increasing SP. The company should come good and stay good. Huge potentials the only problem is it is aim and with SEO it is going to give me CGT problems, (I hate paper work), Although I have some in Sipps not enough cash to buy more.


I agree should see 100p fairly soon.

Hello, folk. Took out a CFD this morning for 24K: from the margin on S*O! Have to say B**G as its considered a swear word on the S*O site! My friend and mentor, johngtudor, holds both so reckoned I could do worse than emulate him. Don't see BPRG moving as rapidly as the aforesaid, but I was impressed by the website statement implying that BPRG are playing it long and not seeking short-term advantage. Also, that the reason for taking the S*O cc so seriously is to put a warning shot across the bows of copmpetition on both sides of the Atlantic. May be more of a problem over there. look on the investment as medium term - in other words, put it aside for a year or so.

Just got interested in MICAP.Shares seem fairly valued...no profit last year.For those who follow BPRG and SEO,this encapsulation technique MICAPtm has many interesting applications,especially in the decontamination of catheters,thereby helping to cut back the incidences of bladder infections .The company is also involved with natural alternatives to conventional treatments for MSA,thrush,Athletes Foot,irritable bowel syndrome and gingivitis.It is down 93% on the year.Loss last year.March results?Turnover 0.9 Profit-O.851.Momentum up steadily ,S.ADVFN user sentiment BUY 63.64%Looks interesting if it van go through 30p which it might try twice.Target 50p Priced at 60p on IPO.Small company,valued at 7.93mill.sterling.Why does'nt someone start a new thread on this one,I'm sure we can get the price moving in the right direction.MIC deserves a bit of attention and then maybe it will be encouraged to keep us regularly informed of its trials and progress,just like Bioprogress has been doing these past few days!!!!.Thanks for the info,JohnGT

Agree MICAP looks very attractive at these levels and have bought a few recently. When the long-awaited deal with BPRG comes it should have more of an impact on MICAP owing to it's piddling market cap.

johngtudor - 17 Feb 2005 14:26 - 1772 of 2372

Well new Non-Executive Directors appointed. Good news but how much influence will they have on the driven CEO? New patents that could lead to products being distributed in BPRG's new capsule wrapping and now this...according to the WSJ Bioprogresss products will be on sale in about two weeks time in China marketed through the Sunkist brand via AXM Pharma. Thought followers of the stock would like to know that events are moving forward regardless of SP falls etc. jgt

ethel - 17 Feb 2005 17:38 - 1773 of 2372

Dear Johng you missed me by half an hour,as I sold in panic ,losing half the glorious profit that I had gained by Monday.Later today saw the 50k boys coming back in.The problem for me is that I pay my broker 5% which stops me making profit on small price rises,especially with a 3p spread.I shall wait for excitng news and then back in...this has a long way to go.Why did'nt this thread take off.....all the attention went to SEO.

mickeyskint - 17 Feb 2005 17:58 - 1774 of 2372

Ethel

Why are you paying a broker 5% when you can do it yourself on line. I pay 11.95 per transaction.

Big Al - 17 Feb 2005 18:43 - 1775 of 2372

ethel

With all due respect you really need to get a new broker. 5% has been criminal for about a decade!!!!!!!

As for BPRG, current levels must hold IMO.

Fred1new - 17 Feb 2005 19:01 - 1776 of 2372

Big Al

Agreed

ethel, forget about a broker that rips you off.. this game is difficult enough without brokers loading the dice the wrong way even further!
There are a lot of brokers around that charge much less than 20 for any size trade.

AdieH - 18 Feb 2005 08:59 - 1779 of 2372

Ample is 10.00 flat trade...

Volumes could be a little better.

ethel - 18 Feb 2005 15:26 - 1782 of 2372

Well,I really fell out of the tree on that one...words fail me needless to say,I am p+++++ *** Should have hung on in there. Learn't me lesson.Thankyou for all your indignation,I shall act on it.I have paid the family broker(inherited with mother's shares)thoooooousands of pounds over the last three years.Which is easier,ComDirect or Ample?

Fred1new - 18 Feb 2005 15:36 - 1783 of 2372

Comdirect is good so are their online news Charts and watchlists. Deal 12.5 Management fees small. Also has stop losses. Barclays deals at 12 and for frequent deals at 7.50. Online research has improved immensely. Has good research facilities but I think poor Charting. Seem to have cocked up a few things for me, Stop losses on 350, Staff try to be helpful and pleasant. I wish they had a more complete transaction printout. I think expensive management fees. Bu finding it difficult to extract myself and transfer
