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.

Moving ahead strongly this morning, the big deal cant be that far away now. Shorters should be hovering over the buy back button.

Lets hope for more of the same tomorrow!
I do take heart and agree with this part of Mickeys post,(Genvax's March 2006 update on extended trial (recall DB's comments at last AGM "the longer a trial runs, the better it is..) So good news should be just around the corner.
Its time for those who kept the faith to be rewarded !
p.s
Thanks for email GF as always much appreciated.

From the other site. It looks as if a few people are starting to get a bit excited.

News around the corner, Benny? Well I have the 16th and 17th of March pencilled on my calendar which are the dates when Dr Freda Stevenson is due to make a presentation to the DNA Vaccine forum on progress with her Genvax research and trials.
If people remember this time last year, we started to get intense speculation about how effective the lymphoma trials had been. Mike Walters suggested, on his internet site, that Dr Stevenson could possibly have, at last, found a cure for cancer. The research was that promising. He announced in his article that he was so impressed that he was buying the shares next day. I have a lot of respect for Walters. Most commentators would have loaded up their portfolio before releasing his article but he feels that he has to be on the same footing as his subscribers. Well, that is what he claims.
Anyway, the shares, which had been gaining strength on rumours of the Genvax results, took off after the Walters article only to be brought crashing back again when his arch enemy Simon Cawkwell started a shorting campaign. Unfortunately, Cawkwell does not have quite the same scruples as Walters and every trick in the shorters book was used by him and his followers to force the shares lower.
So where do we stand on the Genvax research and the 'cure' for cancer?
Well, we do not know for certain and that, I guess, is why the shares got so volatile. The news release on this is controlled very tightly, it seems, by the Cancer Research UK charity who have provided most of the funding for the research. After last year's DNA vaccine forum , we waited patiently for days after before a RNS was released and, in the end, it did not say very much. Medical Marketing hold the marketing rights to any Genvax therapies and it would perhaps be in their interest to shout from the rooftops about how good it is. At this stage, it is definitely not in Cancer Research's interest, and they control the newsflow. If word gets out that they may have a cure for cancer they would be swamped by the media and then by the public, pleading to get on the programme. It is just impossible for them to accommodate the demand until the products have been through the regulatory process. They just have to keep the news releases to a minimum until the time suits them.
So newsflow may well still be restrained, for now, but it has to start coming out soon. Freda has an obligation to keep her peer group informed and MMG has an obligation to keep the market informed of price sensitive information. Cancer Research UK has to let the news out eventually and, as I remember, we were promised full results of Genvax lymphoma trials in January and they have yet to appear, as far as I am aware. When Cancer Research UK feels the time is right then they will go to the media and it could be sensational. A press release from them is sure to have far more impact than a release from a small Cambridge company.
Mike Walters knows David Best, the MMG boss, very well and he is obviously very excited by what Mr Best has told him. No, we need to be careful here. Mr Walters is very excited by the research he has carried out on the company.
It is largely a matter of reading between the lines and deciding for yourself who you can trust and who you cannot. From my research on this company, I can tell you that I am extremely optimistic on many fronts and when the news finally breaks, there are a few of the 'old crew', as Benny calls them, who are suddenly going to feel very much wealthier.

3 pound and a lot more I hope MS in 18 months time. I could take some profits on the tranches that I buy in but i think I would miss out on the real action here.
I hear Evils being stubborn and is still in, mind looks like his followers are all getting out.

An excellent RNS. A couple of real heavy weights on board who wouldn't have joined had they not believed in MMG. Anyone short on this is going to end up with a sore bum.
