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.

Yeah , uncanny that Fred :-)

Dil, just what is your position on BPRG then. Trawling through this thread you never has a positive thing to say about the other BPRG posters pointing out the positives of their investment over the last six months, you have always argued the opposite. Fact is that whilst BPRG have many good product streams, getting them to market profitably is the issue at the moment and who knows where that will lead. Summary is I agree with your basic views, I have just not posted to be antagonistic to other holders. The fact is that all people on these bb's are trying to improve our wealth and I do not like to see anyone lose heavily.
I just feel SEO is a good opportunity to recover losses, thats all I will say, people can make their own minds up about BPRG and any other investment choices but these bb's are where we can discuss all opinions
BPRG holders, whatever you decide to do with BPRG and any other investments, good luck.

Dil - 13 Apr 2005 13:53 - 1880 of 2372

You are correct Andy ... I have never had anything positive to say about bprg and still don't.

I too was trying to be helpful , ie don't touch these with a bargepole. I gave my reasons why about a year ago but got fed up with the abuse from the 99% of bulls who could see nothing but blue skies so I then gave up giving reasons but continued to post negative comments as I believed it had further to fall.

If you want a reason for my current negative stance then how about - "don't try to catch a falling knife". I did with Energis and lost the lot but I learnt a valuable lesson

For you to come on here and tell BPRG holders to buy SEO cos there's a deal coming and its going to fly is sick - thats the exact type of bull they been hearing about bprg for the last year.

Good luck , hope it happens for SEO but you knowing of a deal thats going to make SEO fly makes me laugh and is more of a reason not to invest in them than to invest in them imo.

Hope the explanation helps.

Regards

Fred1 - think brokers estimate is about 7 million cash in hand and 2 million loan note but not too sure.

Rasenberg - 13 Apr 2005 14:22 - 1882 of 2372

I agree with you andysmith and fail to see how trying to help others is sick. Everyone is entitled to DTOR on SEO and make a decision for themselves. I unfortunately got hit by BPRG today but also hold SEO and have a lot of faith in what they are doing.

Dont see the need for mud slinging on this BB as people have a right to an opinion ( both positive and negative ).

We all know the potential risks and rewards.

Points of view are appreciated but accusations and insults are best not posted

ethel - 13 Apr 2005 14:35 - 1883 of 2372

At least BPRG had the decency to send out this press release so soon after the results and did'nt keep the info to themselves for a longer time.But this does point to management ignorance of what must have been obvious a month ago.
I believe that there are" technologies which could produce significant value ON COMMERCIALISATION"(my capital letters!)to quote their statement...but this company has disapointed shareholders before and could remain seriously out of favour if the situation does'nt improve within a few months.
If I still owned these shares,I would'nt sell at this price unless absolutely positive feeling about some other share in order to recoup losses elsewhere.
To have lost about 75% of value in a year with such potentially successful technologies is a disgrace.But,if they still have 7 million then things are maybe not as awful as they seem to be.They are not going bankrupt are they?
Would'nt one of the major pharmas be interested in their technologies at this price?

Dil - 13 Apr 2005 14:37 - 1884 of 2372

Rasenberg : You can sod off too , it was blatant ramping the same kind of blatant ramping that litters this and every other bprg thread.

Fine , have an opinion on SEO but to say its gonna fly cos there's a deal coming is total b*llox ... ask one of the bprg shareholders that you claim to have so much sympathy for.

robinhood - 13 Apr 2005 15:04 - 1885 of 2372

Dil: you can sod off too....oh dear oh dear. This is supposed to be a page for both constructive and funny banter I always thought. Guess one thing is clear being long bprg and not owning seo does not get people in a good mood unfortunately

Jacks - 13 Apr 2005 15:12 - 1886 of 2372

Dil, if you can't take the knocks that go with buying small shares along with potential massive gains then don't play the game. Telling people to sod off on a web site is not big or clever, would you do it to their face, probably not!!!

andysmith - 13 Apr 2005 15:15 - 1887 of 2372

Diplomacy not your strong point then Dil !!!
Glass always half empty?

Nothing sick about recommending alternatives to hanging on and hoping. I clearly stated read the thread and research and not in a jibing manner at all. None of us know about a confirmed deal but if you ever read anything rather than just throw negative sentiment around then you will see from the RNS's about Asda deal, owned by Walmart, deals with US engineering firms etc. Of course we could be wrong that is why people do their own research and make their own decisions BUT THESE BB'S HAVE HELPED INFLUENCE ME AT TIMES TO RESEARCH NEW OPPORTUNITIES and I don't see your problem with discussing these on the bb's. BPRG have a disagreement with SEO, doesn't mean SEO holders want BPRG holders losing money. I don't.

Again, good luck folks, it could still deliver for you as BPRG have a good product portfolio but they have to get it to market profitably.




Dil - 13 Apr 2005 15:17 - 1888 of 2372

Lol , they're all coming out of the woodwork.

robin , your post shows how ignorant and clueless you are re my position on bprg , go wind someone else up mate who gives a toss.

Same goes for you Jack , I aint taking any knocks on these as any regular poster here knows so either your a wind up merchant or an idiot ... you choose.

Dil - 13 Apr 2005 15:19 - 1889 of 2372

Nothing wrong with suggesting taking a look at SEO andy but read my post ... to say they are going to fly cos you know a deal is coming is boll*x as it was when the same crap was being spouted about bprg.

I wished you luck on SEO and still do so but it aint gonna fly cos of what you know !

Dil - 13 Apr 2005 15:21 - 1890 of 2372

And andy your right , diplomacy aint my strong point but I only say it as I see it and not as I wish it was.

Chiva20 - 13 Apr 2005 15:26 - 1891 of 2372

Chaps, just agree to disagree. I think you all have very good points but try not get personal, and more importantly don't take offence or react if you don't like someone elses comments.

Your comments are extremely valuable to others (especially newbies like me). Try keep it that way!

Jacks - 13 Apr 2005 15:28 - 1892 of 2372

Dil,

I am not the idiot who has just lost a shed load on BRPG. I am however an idiot who has just made 500% profit on SEO. As for SEO and announcements they are coming thick (excuse the pun) and fast

You are right I do like to wind people up, some people are easier than others!!!! take your pick where you fall.

andysmith - 13 Apr 2005 15:31 - 1893 of 2372

I know nothing Dil other than what has been commented in various RNS's.Read what the Asda bloke said, what Balchin said about opportunities with parent group and recent RNS's. I know as much as anyone else who read these RNS's.
You can have views on shares Dil but you don't have to post negative sentiment all of the time when you are not a holder. There are loads of shares with threads on this site, I clearly don't agree with positive thoughts on many of them but as a non-holder why should I go on there and wind people up.
Sometimes things take a turn for the worse for all of us, unless of course you are perfect? The last thing decent BPRG holders need now is YOU and your cynicism, told you so winding up and foul mouth. Do you have many friends?

Fred1new - 13 Apr 2005 15:35 - 1894 of 2372

Andy I agree with you. I was told off for saying it was to high at 150 and 120, but made a mistake of buying at about 105 and lower. Dented my pride and pocket a little. I still think this company has extremely useful technology and products, which hopefully will be marketed by them as a company. It has cash in hand and there were some institutional buys at much higher share price than now. I think probably it is a good time to have a financial re-appraisal and a board shake up. Hopefully the outcome will be good long-term. I hope it will be short term.) But it does re-emphasise the problems of betting on the smaller companies., but many go through similar traumas, think of RTD, PDX etc.

My guess is that there will be some recovery over the next week in the price once the hysteria and disappointment fades.

PS Forgive Dil he has only a small dictionary and lots of the words have been left out of his edition. 8-)

andysmith - 13 Apr 2005 15:37 - 1895 of 2372

Chiva, agree.
Just thought I'd contribute to BPRG thread and up pops Dil to have a pop.Never mind, main thing is that I wish all BPRG holders well.

Dil - 13 Apr 2005 15:39 - 1896 of 2372

Jacks , it was obvious you had not read the thread otherwise you would not have posted what you did.

andy , do you think that me keeping quiet would have avoided what happened today ?

Obviously not so my negative comments and arguments with the bulls may just have saved a few people a few bob hopefully.

andysmith - 13 Apr 2005 15:49 - 1897 of 2372

Dil, no i don't and as I said I happen to agree with some of your thoughts, it's just the way that you go about putting them and your tone.
Lets leave this alone now for the BPRG holders.
