Keep an eye on this tech stock - after years of loses, rights issues, etc things look to be moving in the right direction. Tipped by Redmayne last year it could be a winner.

No worries, all small sellers sitting on a profit and nervous about the reaction to the us election - nothing goes up without a few sells on the way - its positive IMHO

Just a thought, the govt have today announced that all cattle over 30months will now enter the food chain and not be incinerated as before.The proviso is that they must all be tested for BSE. Who will get the contract for the test--Protherics or Proteome or somebody else? Any news please?

According to Riley Ace of Spies on the iii Board.

"Bio-Rad achieved 100% market ownership of the UKs BSE test market."

Thanks for the info CCC. I've been reading Bio-Rads website and you are right. They are convinced that they have got the best.However have they got the capacity for all these tests in this country? Next week Protherics have got a presentation to the institutions and if the BSE test is not mentioned then presumably Bio-Rads have got it signed up. Meanwhile PTI sp does'nt move,so on balance it looks as if there are no big deals.

anybody any ideas on the volume today

vol is up 1)RNS re fidelity just increased its stake,2)new manufacturing plant in U.S. Lots of buyers coming on board, maybe there is a tip out there somewhere.

realistic , thanks for that , saw all the volume but could not make out what the h*ll was going on. still unsure cos funds can move a large amount of shares around without it meaning much

Something is going on.PTI should reach 200 this year.It consolidated a stable trading range of 10p last year.Turnover up 21% 2004.Specialising in toxicity treatments,it is a niche player.VORAXAZE is very interesting because of its use in counteracting the negative effects of chemotherapy...launch in 2006,maybe sooner
14 Jan..DIRECTOR BUYS.Dr.Tony Atkinson buys 300000 shares....does'nt seem a lot
BUT...
20 Jan.Fidelity buys 3,196,327.
Charts look good,so BUY boys BUY.....
I will...always nice to know that there's some anti snakebite treatment out there!

This sp looking very weak recently.The only bad news I can find is the recent load of share options granted to the directors.This obviously dliutes existing shareholder value. Apart from that everthing else seems to be going to plan.Unless anyone out there knows different? Any news ethel?

Yes, I was very enthusiastic back in Jan...and still am but there was no response to my message so I forgot about it waiting for the moving averages to look better.The institutions have accepted PTI as a relatively "safe" prospect compared with some of the biotechs.
The Crofab market est.potential is 80mln dollars.BUT,in Oncology thay have Voraxaze with US and EU MARKETING applications PLANNED for Q2 this year.The initial opportunity estimate is upto 200 mln dollars.At the moment Voraxaze is sold to named patients only.PTI also have Prion and BSE and CJD diagnostics.In the pipeline-Angiotensin Vaccine for Hypertension and NQO2 for liver cancer in clinical development.Cytofab for severe sepsis is going into phase 111 trials.Maybe we will have news about discussions with licensing partners for the latter.Framlington et al are invested in them.Have'nt checked the price yet,but if the averages look good then I shall go in.This share is normally quite predictable and not volatile when it starts to go up.But you see it's not just about snake bite antidotes...this is a great crowd with good products for sale...not just dreams.

Thanks for that ethel. I think I'll stick with them for another year.I bought some at the early rights for 16p so I'm well in front but lately things have been so quiet.We must be thankful that the institutions are prepared to be patient.

Hello again,Realistic...still there?
PTI been tipped for last two weeks.rns today....still no sp move.
Moving averages show hint of a change and am tempted back in,but still wary of the way this company has been ignored by investors.
With the small caps the way they are at the moment,it is difficult to feel confident about particular stocks,even when the fundamentals seem O.K.The sp could be shorted down in the absence of news.As it is ,the one year chart shows that the sp is where it was last autumn,when there was a dir.buy at 50p followed by a nice rise ...the 38 day moving averages even look the same as they did then!
Well,I think I'll go for it,wish us luck and all those others out there,whoever you are.
Ethel

On the move again shortly - moving north big time.

How/what do you know?

Now that would be telling.

Come on,let us share your secret,Transco!
Whatever,the sp is finally moving north.

Just read my earlier posts last year and read between the lines.
This is a top class business, building a long term sound future.

Its time for protherics to fly !!!!!!!!!!!

well still it goes up and up... takeover talk about and discounted rights issue

up on a bad day - plus good volume.
