I am at a loss both mentally and financially about the goings on here.

The company is involved in health care and all it's peers have risen substantially.

Debt has been cleared, profits are rising and the chairman's statement was incredibly positive. I always thought a star of this kind would rise. Low market value etc etc. Any ideas why I'm apparently wrong?

i bought at 3.4 and have held for almost a year so unlikely to run for the hills just yet. I really believe in the long term story of this company once the dollar weakens and the new production capacity is brought on line. Anticipating about 7.5 - 9p after next yeras results. Long term hold

Another strong buying day ...no tick up yet anyone got Level 2

1 x 2.75 and 5 x 3.25
No change since the open

These things dont always follow logic . There was a 300,000 purchase at the full offer price of 3.25 but it didn't move the SP. At least momentum seems to be in the right direction so hopefully only a matter of time

BUY !!!!!

This going all the way back up...

Nar1-----Do you know of any reason for the rise today?
2517

Some Big buys been coming in over the past few days and more today.. Maybe this has been tipped or investers realising this is one of the few AIM stock making a profit

Entry into veterinary market


Surgical Innovations(TM) Group plc (AIM: SUN), the designer and manufacturer of
innovative surgical devices, is delighted to announce the success of its first
veterinary laparoscopic procedure, which was carried out by leading veterinary
surgeon Romain Pizzi for the first time on a reindeer at Edinburgh Zoo, using
the Group's specialist instrumentation.

Commenting on the surgery, Graham Bowland Managing Director of Surgical
Innovations Limited, said: "The veterinary market represents a significant
opportunity for SI. It is estimated that approximately one in two UK households
are pet owners. Veterinary surgeons perform an average of 600,000 open abdominal
procedures every year, but it is believed that only 1% of vets currently
practice laparoscopic surgery. We are working closely with the UK's leading vets
and organisations including the Royal Zoological Society of Scotland and Ark
Surgical, the UK's fastest growing veterinary distributor, to educate the
veterinary community of the benefits of laparoscopic surgery. By providing the
right instrumentation we hope to enable UK vets to introduce laparoscopic
techniques as part of their standard operating procedures."

Open abdominal surgery is currently the standard procedure in animals; however
there are a number of negative factors associated with it including more
post-operative pain, a higher risk of post-operative complications and
infections and a long recovery period. The minimally invasive nature of
laparoscopic surgery significantly reduces post-operative pain and the risk of
infection, which means the recovery period is faster and the animal requires
reduced post-operative care. For veterinary surgeons laparoscopic surgery offers
better visualisation of the operated area, allowing them to be more precise and
reach areas that are difficult to see in open surgery such as the liver and the
pelvic canal.

Sky News are going to show the reindeer in their next bulletin, due shortly.

A brief Sky News coverage!

That's almost worthy of a post on the Strange stories in the news thread :-)

At least nobody has to dig the reindeer up skinny!
