The Market Expects!!!
We live in a very fickle world of intant results and profits, else you're dropped from favour very quickly.
The deals will probably come, in the fullness of time, but in the meantime everyone runs out of patience. If you can keep patient, I think this will be very rewarding (already is for me). Health Authorities are not the quickest of clients to sign on the dotted line and can spend months performing due diligence and negotiating. I am not worried by the slow drift because when the signatures start, the stock will be flavour of the month again.
Good luck,
Alan

i agree with alan ..... i don't see this stock as a flyer, nor even as a "must have", but if you already hold, then definitely stay put as i think there will be profits to be made over the coming months

I assume you are the same cynic I see in LSE - good to see you!

I was unfortunate enough to get in at around 2.4 so am being caned here! However I have hung on thus far and will just keep my fingers crossed for the future I think! I agree with the time it takes for Health Authorities to do the deals so yes - I will grin and bear it.

there is only one cynic round here .... yes, of course it's me; thought the style would be unmistakable ..... i sold half at a decent profit but still hold the balance at a loss (2.24 + 1.97), but shall just stay put ...... in fact, have taken quite a lot of money off the table today and/or switched around to different stocks

hi cynic, If u dont mind me askin which other stocks are u in?

jameel - about 24 i guess, but then i have a reasonable sized portfolio now ..... MAB, ABP, BARC, POG, BUR, MPH, GPX, ULT, EME, VOG, DOO, BFC, GTL, STG, CEY, CHP, COST, DEV, PXC, CHP, RPT (short!), SCO, CRO, CAD, EOL and no doubt a couple of others that i have forgotten.

Yesterdays rise explained.
Lovely.

This is obviously a big announcement for ULT but what does it mean for them? I have seen big rises on this price before after news and profit taking has always done the damage almost immediately afterwards. This seems to be more long term and am I right in thinking should provide some stability to the price and after a sharp rise (and probably smaller fall) should provide a steady but slow increase in price?

BTW - Thanks Cynic for the advice :)

Haystack think you should apologise to the board... Have you seen the RNS today...

I don't think ULT will rocket ahead, even on the back of today's RNS ..... Any real excitement is at least a year away, and knowing the way govnt depts work, it will take an awful lot longer before a white paper gets translated into substantial profits for ULT

cynic agree todays rns was almost certain to happen, people that follow the share will know the white paper mention this a few months back in the house of commons.

it may take some time to secure all the pct,s but at least we now know they are moving ahead.Now is the time to buy at the cheap price and watch it grow.

Indeed Danny this is the green light to pile in at these cheap prices. IMHO... Unfortunately this is the way forward self diagnosis...

the fact that you find that thought depressing hows that ULT's software is just the thing you need ... lol!

I have heard today, from a reliable source, that the company has been in BTB talks with a major North American health company to supply this product across the USA.

Well Master, it will be interesting to see how relaible your reliable source is ..... If the company's van driver, then probably 100% correct!

Something has lit a fire under ULT today.
Wonder if the USA rumour above is about to become real news.

Call to tackle therapist shortage 11/05/06

Campaigners are calling for better access to talking therapies
Too little is being done to tackle the shortage of talking therapies for people with depression, mental health campaigners say.

The charity Mind welcomed news that the government is to announce the sites of two talking therapy pilot centres aimed at helping people back to work.

If the pilots succeed, the scheme could be rolled out across England.

Mind says evidence from its helpline callers show 83% take medication while only 6% receive therapy for depression.

Eighty-three per cent of people reporting depression or anxiety disorders are receiving medication, while only 4% are receiving psychotherapy and only 2% CBT

Marjorie Wallace, Sane


The centres, offering cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) will be in Doncaster and Newham.

They will be open to all adults of working age, but it will be particularly targeted at the one in three people on Incapacity Benefit who have depression in a bid to help them back to work, as well as improve their condition.

In November last year, Lord Layard, a Labour peer and director of the centre for economic performance at the London school of economics, called for 10,000 more therapists should be trained in CBT.

He also called for a network of 250 dedicated psychological centres set up.

Baby harm fears

Mind said it was pleased the government was rolling out the CBT pilots, but said there were still many people unable to access the therapy.

It says seven guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence, set up by the government to make recommendations about NHS care, say CBT should be the key treatment for anxiety, depression, depression in children and young people, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and schizophrenia.

A report from the charity to be published next week also warns that GPs have to give pregnant women who are depressed depression pills instead of therapy because of the shortage.

Research has suggested there could be a risk that the baby will be premature, too small or experience withdrawal from the drugs they were exposed to in the womb.

A spokesman said: "This is a particularly vulnerable group, as not only do they need to recover as soon as possible to look after and bond with their babies, but also there may be problems for mothers taking drugs while pregnant or while breast-feeding."

Marjorie Wallace, chief executive of the mental health charity Sane, said: "Our evidence from several hundred thousand callers to our helpline reveals a shocking situation in which 83% of people reporting depression or anxiety disorders are receiving medication, while only 4% are receiving psychotherapy and only 2% CBT."
