Bioprogress is a stock I have been in and out of quite a few times since it floated in May but not much mention here on the Investors' Room. Does anyone else follow this stock. I see it is up 1.5p today and a few good buyers seem to have appeared.

Don't know Al, conspicious by his absence during the slide though. Easy to gloat when you are on the up, entirely another thing when you are on the way down. Absence of comment on the down gives a good inidication of character perhaps.
I hope Bio do 'surge ahead,' I have a vested interest!! Anway, don't take it personally, Rampers tend to be somewhat outspoken, misled, and of limited intelligence..........a bit like Tony Blair really!!

I never let anything on BB's get to me personally - hopefully my reply speaks for itself! ;-))))

At the end of the day, the movement in your overall account balance speaks volumes. I know mine, I suspect his. 'Nuff said and I'm a happy man.

I also have a vested interest from a few weeks ago, but don't tell anyone.

Hi nematoad , another 50p and we'll be back to where you bought.

Good luck mate.

Dil,and Al,yes we were quiet but not as quiet as some of you thought,and DIL guess who was buying in the 50's,60's 70's...oh yes,me,me ,me....never thought I could pick them up so cheap....Over 120K shares in BPRG.....nicely sitting for the longterm...and you DIL..made your few hundred shorting did you...good luck and now piss-off!!!!

Charming

nematode.

You think you were the only one buying down there? Like I say, swingers make it both ways, Rodney.

;-))))))))))

I'm in at low level too, good this, in for the long term.

Al,Like I said,I bought sub 60,70,and i believe many others will have done but not DIL,he has always thrashed bprg...where is the idiot now????

nematode

I'm sure if you look around the BB's you'll find very little real shorting by Dil. I feel equally certain, you'll find many wind-ups by him and others simply because it gets the masses going. More fool the masses. ;-)))

Like I said, smart traders were short on the way down and are now long on the way up. Lovely to take it both ways and the joke in these kind of stocks will always be on the investors, not the traders.

ROFLMAO!!!!!

BTW, it won't be all blue sky. Prospects are good, but they need institutions on board. I can't see them buying in the market and would expect BPRG over the next year or so to issue more shares to feed their requirements. Any ideas of PE's, PEG's, etc for those years should be made conservatively IMO, not the idiotic numbers some have posted around the BB's.

All IMO, but we'll see where we are in 2006, will we?

Nice little firm, Micap. Won't do Bioprogress any harm to be involved with them.

Bioprogress helps medicine go down
By Rosie Murray-West, City Correspondent (Filed: 24/08/2004)


The expression "a bitter pill to swallow" could soon become obsolete if patients warm to a new type of medicine - a postage-stamp sized film that dissolves on your tongue.



Graham Hind, the chief executive of Bioprogress, said the company was working on delivering prescription drugs via the tiny film pieces, similar to the breath freshener strips that have become popular across the UK.

You can already take vitamins and some herbal supplements in this way, and Mr Hind said there was no reason why the films should not eventually replace conventional tablets for many pharmaceutical products.

"There's still a lot of work to be done," he said, adding that the company would need to be able to guarantee an even distribution of the active drug across a large area of film, as well as disguising the bad taste of some substances.

However, in some cases the strips could prove more effective than traditional tablets, because the active agent is so concentrated and distribution is immediate. People who find capsules and tablets difficult to swallow would also have an easier time.

Aim-listed Bioprogress said yesterday that it has entered into a six-month option agreement with Micap to evaluate a micro-encapsulation technology for smoking cessation products. The Micap technology uses dead yeast cells as natural capsules to protect an active ingredient. This would protect the active agent, but release it immediately on contact with mucus in the mouth.

"With smoking cessation you want it to be instant," Mr Hind said, adding that the film could be a replacement for medical chewing gum that claims to stop cigarette cravings. The yeast technology also has the potential to instantly release a flavour on the tongue, which would mask the bad taste of a pharmaceutical ingredient.

Bioprogress owns a number of patents on using cellulose film to wrap conventional tablets and to use as capsules. It is being evaluated by a number of large companies that are keen to stop using gelatine in their capsules because of the possibility that it could spread CJD.

Bioprogress shares rose 2.5 to 95p. Micap shares, also listed on Aim, rose 5 to 48p.

Talking points



Smaller stock to watch

Micap, the AIM-listed yeast encapsulation specialist, added 5p to 48p on granting BioProgress a six-month option to evaluate the application of its techniques to develop products for smoking cessation. BioProgress, up 2p at 95p, has developed films that dissolve in the mouth as an alternative to gums, patches and other methods to deliver nicotine.

Don't worry nematode. ;-)))))

Nematoad you are a true genius and I take my hat off to you.

Pity we couldn't see this coming 4 weeks ago Al , you would have thought nematoad would have told his mates when it hit the bottom :-)

Dil - I was far too blinkered to see this as a long last month. Oh deary me. ;-)))))

Oh well we'll just have to hope nematoad chucks a few pennies in the bucket when we end up begging on street corners.

He might need to lend me a few bob to buy my bucket. LOL!
