OK so you thought the title of the other thread was out of date BUT unfortunately there is no way to edit thread titles.

So here is a new title

This one has got the charts at the top again & has a link to the old one.

Had a lovely lunch today in the Restaurant I was talking about. However, a woman from Essex walked in covered in blood. A man sitting at a table near to me announced that he was a Doctor and asked woman where she is bleeding from.
The woman replied Romford mate.

Great to see the colour blue and see the share price continuing to move upwards. Over the last 14 days the share price has risen by 38.57%. Lets hope it continue this upwards momentum for the remainder of the week.

Come on my son.

Just to increase your happiness.

Should drop a little AM.

I saw the above notification that you mention and yes the share price may drop tommorrow morning? There again it may not? I noticed that the last trade today was a buy of 250,000. Do not be surprised to see Man Financial Limited or some of the other institutions who have been recently increasing their holdings snapping up a lot of the shares that Prelude Trust previously held.

I do not see the above as a negative at all. The price has risen by 7.78% since the 24th Jan 05 and Prelude Trust have still retained the majority of their holding in OXB. It would have slightly worried me more if they sold all their holding.

Fred 1 Nice try but you will have to try harder than that to dampen my spirits.

Fred - Prelude has made no secret of the fact that they have wanted to off-load their holdings - this has dampened the sp for a few months now. I am looking forward to the time when they have completely sold out - thereby eliminating the current overhang.

I hope that it will recover more quickly as I have a holding in them. We wait and see for a while. But at 25p there may be some resistance to overcome. It will be interesting to-morrow.

Stupid question probably but if OXB are complying with LSE merger rules by making their regular announcements re no of shares in issue, AND the original rns talked of a "merger", why is there not another Bio company that is also making the same sort of announcements?

I think the bid will come from a company abroad, and if they are serious it will come soon or risk the price rising too much making it more expensive to takeover. A bid would not succeed at less than 45p in my opinion.

Glad to see that OXB has done so well while I was away, that will pay for a few more holidays :-)

My question might have been answered by a rumour in the FT today that Johnson & Johnson are the mystery bidder at 30p+ - the price seems incredibly low so perhaps the rumour is simply someone flying a kite.

Up she goes that's a reference to the kite and the share price

Surely with that announcement a bid must be coming tomorrow morning - hope to see it marked up above 30p tomorrow

30p tomorrow will need another 10% rise from current prices. Feasible......? could be

There is 2:1 more sells than buys today and the price is holding steady at 26.5p

Interesting stuff I think, looking forward to see hows this one pans out

MMs know, they want the stock, expect big mark up tomorrow. Someone's mopping up the stock.

Who is mopping up this stock if there are more sells than buys?My nerves can't stand any more,so I am out,with a 30% profit.But,this has been a horrible ride since I bought in June 2004.Also,I never considered that OXB is probably involved in animal experiments...don't like to consider that one.

normally if the price is still rising on sells the mms have a buyer, so i reckon tomorrow am may be interesting

According to the Digital Look website Share Price Performance of OXB:

Today (11.34%), 1 Day Change(17.39%) 7 Days Change (18.68%) 14 Days Change
(54.29%)

Not bad going is it? and there should be more rises to come over the next
week. According to the Growth Company Investor website some large institutions
are still investing in the stock.

Company Announcements (27/01/05)

Man Financial Ltd (Rule 8/250,000 bought at 23.50p)

Lazard and Company (Panmure Gordon) (EMM Disclosure/ 204,334 bought at
23.50p)

Credit Agricole S.A. (Rule 8/ 1,100,000 bought at 24.50p)

All of the above institutions have been increasing their holdings in OXB over the past week. Why?

Personally its been a great fortnight for me I hope the rally in the share
price continues to gather momentum and breaks the 30p level. Then the fun will
really begin.

Price level support at 17p and resistance level at 97.25p spot on.

This is a sure share to buy...at this cheap price 26p....as it will be a bid soon

I agree with your comment 100%

I wonder if the Fund Manager at Prelude Trust is still in a job after selling
such large amounts on the 19th and 24th Jan 05? If only he/she had held on for
few more days (tee hee tee hee!)

Great! Its pay day for me tommorrow. I cannot wait until 8am to ring my broker
and buy some more OXB shares and add to my holding. Tee hee tee hee.

Morning All!

Personally not a good one for me so far. Rang the Bank this morning only to
be told my wages have not yet been paid (Grrrrrrrrr). Good thing I rang me
Broker shortly after 8am and put a stop loss on OXB at 26.38p. Only to find
out they sold 176,177 at 8.31am at 26p (Grrrrrrrrrr). The weather is horrible
and I was late bringing my son to Nursery before heading for work (Grrrrrrr)
On top of this my beloved reds lost the semi-final on Wednesday and another
stock I had my eye on has soared ahead this morning above the levels I want to
buy into (Grrrrrrrr)

Overall on reflection I should not have too much complaints especially regarding OXB. I bought into the stock at around 17-18p, 21, 23 and 26p less than 28 days ago and have banked a nice profit. Now I will be keeping my eyes to the screen and decide at what levels I will dive back into the stock.

I tell you this rollercoaster of emotions beats going to the fun fair. I only hope OXB are developing drugs for high blood pressure and dodgy tickers.

Top ah the morning to ya.
