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.

On the 15th July 2005 MMG issued a statement stating that they were not aware of the reason for the recent rise in the company`s share price.
Given that we have recently seen a bigger recovery in the share price than back in July is there any significance in the fact the company have not issued a similar statement again?

A little light relief:



Cawkwell ousted over share row
Robert Lea, Evening Standard
28 September 2005


INFAMOUS share trader Simon Cawkwell has had his brief career as a listed company director abruptly ended after he was found to have broken Stock Exchange rules.


BANNED: Simon Cawkwell's brief career as a company director has come to an end

Cawkwell - known in the market as Evil Knievil - broke stock market trading regulations by buying shares during a prohibited period in Aim-quoted Kryso Resources, where he had been deputy chairman since last year.

It has emerged that Cawkwell was forced to resign from his only public company role after an almighty row in which the Tajikistan gold prospector's City financial adviser issued a 'me or him' ultimatum to the company.

Stock Exchange filings reveal that Cawkwell bought 100,000 shares in Kryso at 11p on 26 August and another 250,000 at 11.3p on 30 August.

The share purchases were, according to the filings, to be held in trust for [Cawkwell's] brotherinlaw Paul Darlow, a Crown Court judge. But the purchases breached the listing rules of Aim, the lightly regulated junior stock market.

The rules dictate that directors cannot trade shares in their company during a so-called closed period. In Kryso's case, directors are barred from trading between 1 August and 30 September or when Kryso reports its interim results.

Cawkwell was forced to quit after an ultimatum from Kryso's nominated adviser or 'nomad', Brett Miller of Ruegg & Co.

Kryso finance director Craig Brown admitted: 'There was a falling-out as a result of the share transactions in which Simon was shown to be non-compliant [with AIM's listing rules]. Words were exchanged and the nomad said either Simon goes or he does. Simon went.'

Cawkwell today admitted: 'I should have been more careful. I had got it into my head that the interims weren't due until November and that we weren't in a closed period.'

The shares were bought by Cawkwell's broker when Cawkwell says he was incommunicado on holiday in Norfolk. Cawkwell, however, is scathing of Miller's role in his departure: 'He is an ill-mannered, silly little man who out of a minor matter has invented a great trouble,' he said.

Miller declined to comment. Kryso shares today opened at 11p, showing a notional profit of 1825 on the share purchases.

Since resigning, Cawkwell has bought another 200,000 Kryso shares and claims to have taken a 500,000 share 'buy' spread bet with a bookmaker.





THE self-styled Evil Knievel has built up a legendary status among the legions of day trading share punters.

When Cawkwell moves on a stock his actions are minutely dissected on investor website chatrooms.

Having made a huge reputation with big stock market bets, often controversially 'short-selling' companies to make a profit on falling shares, Cawkwell, 59, has been compared with a Bond villain - a baddie of capitalism moving share prices for his own end from his London lair.

Though an inveterate gambler, Cawkwell says his investment decisions are based on the fundamental health of companies' balance sheets using his qualified accountant's eye.

However, his decision last year to become a public company director shocked his followers. 'The term poacherturnedgamekeeper does not begin to describe it,' said one commentator.

Cawkwell is holding out hope of a return to public-company life at some stage. 'Some people may think I am a scallywag but they are misinformed,' he said.

As predicted by Telecomstrader on Monday we have news and what interesting news it is. The downfall of Cawkwell will give cheer to many on this board and holders of MMI.
Many thanks Optimist
