Science Business Insider - "One of the most significant science breakthroughs of 2013"

World Economic Forum - "Microbiome one of Top 10 Emerging Technologies in 2014"

Targetting:

* Obesity

* Cholesterol

* Diabetes

* ...Many more to come.


Key points:

* Food additives not drugs - less regulation thus much quicker and cheaper route to market.

* Shares in issue 72 million - only 45% free float.

* Already talking to DuPont, Kraft Foods, GSK etc.

* Multiple product, Multiple partner opportunities.

* £3m cash - enough for 2+ years.

* 4D Pharma in same field valued at £180m (opti valued at £9m)

Good RNS today.

Everything moving fast here.

And the fact that they are developing two compounds in parallel (Weight loss and cholesterol) means there will be lots of news and drivers over the next year to push these much, much higher.

If all goes to plan an sp of £1 next year is not out of the question.

Profit taking.

Classic pullback after a near 50% rise.

Helps to make the chart stronger.

OPTI is right at the heart of this...

"This could be the most important scientific breakthrough in our lifetimes..."

http://moneyweek.com/microbiome-important-scientific-breakthrough/

Highest volume ever today (apart from the initial RTO spike).

Another good RNS today.

It's also very encouraging that the major corporations like GlaxoSmithKline, Procter & Gamble, and Tate & Lyle have been doing their own research into microbiome. This confirms that there is huge commercial interest in this new field of science.

And now OPTI have a direct link with that research.

All very positive OPTI.

"We tipped shares in Optiobiotix (LSE:OPTI) just a few months ago at a 9p offer. Knock me down with a feather they closed Friday at 20.75p-21.25p. But the fun is not over yet. We urged you strongly a week ago to buy at up to our limit buy price of 15p as the last chance to get in cheap. We hope that advice was taken even if you ignored the original tip.

Our stated target price is 30p but following a chat on Friday with a well-connected individual we reckon that the shares could head higher than that on short order. For one of the things about Optibiotix is that the share register is pretty tight. Unlike many penny stocks it has not issued shares like confetti and has no need to issue shares.

So what are we expecting in the next few weeks? We hope for further strengthening of the board. We hope for more news out of Nizo, the Dutch firm testing Optibiotix products in yoghurt and… well here’s the big daddy…

We know that the company is talking to really big name multi nationals about deals which would in scale be massive relative to the current market capitalisation as you can see illustrated HERE. Let’s see how rapidly those talks progress. This is certainly not one to be selling. Its fireworks by Christmas on this share tip."
