Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
Scancell (SCLP) has today issued results for the six months to 31 October 2015 which is jam packed with scientific waffle which is - I am sure - all terribly exciting and might get some Bulletin Board Morons buying the stock. That would help as the hard numbers on cash don't lie. It is placing ahoy, Scancell cannot dodge this bullet forever.

It’s always wonderful to see a management team say that it seeks ‘alignment’ with the interests of shareholders, particularly when it doesn’t cost them anything.
As opposed to what? Direct conflict?
I know I’m naive, but I’d always assumed that a directors prime job was to protect shareholders and create value for them and that they tend to receive salaries for performing that role.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to see an RNS from one of these zombie companies stating that, ‘in order to align the interests of directors with those of shareholders, and in the light of the fact we are running out of cash, the board has decided to stop paying itself’.
