Anyone know why the share price has dropped from 25 to 10.The analysis was the they just needed to announce contracts .....which they did. On same subject BRF(bright futures) have done everything they said they would do and more with an excellent recent set of results recently and there share price has halved? Maybe the explanation is if the city dont like you (or find you sexy) then they ....just dont like you!I also think these smaller companies can be very bad at managing their PR and sometimes go months without announcing any news ,which nobody likes.As you may have guessed thes ar my current golden turkeys and may be guilty of whinging!

here's latest RNS, which I believe are excellent and certainly place Cyprotex on a good footing and we should now see increased momentum in the stock over the comming months.
