THIS SHARE WILL BE WORTH 3.00 IN 2009

Axa have reduced their holdings by 807,400 shares. Could be down to a bit of re-shuffling end of year, as they still hold over 31 million. But not a good sign.

Greekman - Sorry but thats rubbish (not a good sign).
Its no sign at all - this baby is about to gather steeeeeeeeeeem....
long tem holder - look at previous posts...
Patience will reward us all....

Transco Hi,

It's no big deal. As I said they still have 31 mill. Okay it probably is as you say more of a no sign. It may be that Axa needed to release a bit of cash for a client. Like you a long term holder of a company with a great management team, and a good solid base of products. I expect this companies shares to rocket over the next 18 to 24 months.

Hi Greekman,

No probs .. I have held for years. At long last I'm sure the pipeline
holds at least one blockbuster.
There are risks but everything in life is....

Pre-close Trading Statement.

Looks like they had some problems over the year re CroFabTM, but they remain confident that the implementation of the planned CroFabTM manufacturing changes will significantly improve margins over the medium term. Teething troubles, no doubt. The overall prospects for PTI with the cash position ( at present ) and the steady stream due from CroFabTM and their other products make this company look a very good investment.
I think the market will be jittery, due to many expecting the pot of gold tomorrow. But as said medium to long term, great prospects.

Dont worry about the problems - they are small beer and maybe give one last chance to top your holding up under a quid......

Transco,
Agreed, not worried. Looking ahead.

Tipped in the Indie and the Times today.

Nice write ups. See links.http://news.independent.co.uk/business/analysis_and_features/article356310.ece

Geekman - Nice one - keep the faith......

For those that have read the Indie link, it states re CroFab 'Analysts believe it could be worth up to $8bn (4bn)'.
With royalty payments of 20%, that is 800,mil. If their predictions are correct, what price the sp then.

Nice pop today on press news - Unfortunately in my experience this normally
brings a pullback for those who knew it was comming. Expect it to come back to 84p min.
Not to worry though the fund managers wont be on the sidelines for much longer.

On low volume the closing sp was nicely up. The press reports did not tempt the punters. I wonder if Monday will show an L or OT trade for a large buy.

greekman and transco, thanks for the ongoing commentary which, to be honest, has influenced my decisions while adding to spread holdings. No pressure! My tree analysis on Protherics continues to give only one answer which seems to be a binary "buy" though yesterday was painful. Will continue to have a ridiculous weighting in this stock and add while it is under 1.

Suddenly a move at 1150 by all the mm's ( 9 ) that deal in this share. All moved on bid and ask. All this on low volume.
Why are they all suddenly competing with each other. Is something about to break.

Another nice move - news soon me thinks...

So it looks like Artimis Investment have increased their holdings according to my records. This is the last holding notification regarding Artimis.

The Company was informed by Artemis Investment Management Ltd. on 14 February 2005 that, following a sale of shares, Artemis Income no longer has a notifiable interest of shares in the Company.

Astrazeneca, are according to the weekend press looking for more tie-ups or licensing deals. They have even created a high level post, with sole responsibility to search for such deals. The main company mentioned in the article was the licensing deal with Protherics. Could they return looking for more. Even if not it was a nice little bit of publicity.

Re RNS
M&G Investment Management Limited , Prudential plc and certain of its subsidiary companies held a notifiable interest in 10,431,716. This is an increase from the 9,873,542 held on 25/01/06. Good to see the institutions increasing their holdings especially the way the stock market is lately.

Yes, it does show confidence in PTI which is especially engouraging bearing in mind the way the sp has stagnated of late.

Queen1,

Stagnation? - take a longer view chum. The chart is as positive a chart than i have seen this side on Christmas. Give it more time and the rewards will come.
