Advanced Oncotherapy Red Flag Season part 3 - Tell us about Sinophi?

On 25 March 2015 Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO) announced what it claimed was a major breakthrough in China, what it termed the "first major sale of a LIGHT system" in China. Well that was the headline. The customer was a firm called Sinophi. The shares zoomed on this $40 million order. Jolly good news. 37 days later the company raised £20 million in a placing at 8p. But did anyone care to look underneath the PR spin? No. Lets start with Sinophi Healthcare Limited.

Advanced Oncotherapy part 2: how broker bullshit cons mug punters so allowing placing after placing

Beaufort Securities is joint broker to grossly over-ramped Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO). That means a fat retainer and also a good slug of the commission earned for the regular placings this company needs to keep paying its bloated boardroom payroll and other costs. The commission on the May 2015 fundraise at 8p would have been £1 million. Coke & hookers all round! Except for the shareholders, that is, as the share price is now 5.25p and its going to fall further as the next placing is imminent. So how do you ramp a stock ahead of a placing?

Advanced Oncotherapy - a joke valuation at 6.625p ( £93 million) - part 1

One is not allowed to be beastly to companies that claim to be tackling cancer since we are all terrified of the big C. In fact cancer overwhelmingly affects old folks and so if ALL cancer was eliminated tomorrow,global life expectancy would increase by just 4 years. If we really want to change the world we'd be tacking the reason why younger folk die in poor countries rather than why older folk shuffle off this mortal coil a few years early in the West. But, heck, who cares about the darkies, let's look after folks closer to home. We are still all scared witless by the big C and if you have cancer or are close to someone who does you have my deepest sympathy. But it is that cloak of "we are doing good" that allows some folk to, if you will excuse the pun, make a killing. I today start a new series on Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO) by looking at boardroom pay.

The Case for the Big Proton Beam Venture - Part Two

Hello Share Slickers. I’ve already featured the bulletin board darling, Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO) this week. But as I’ve currently spent a large wodge of time researching this interesting share, it would be a waste  not to bring you a bit more info and opinion on a share which has risen like a rocket and fallen like its stick. I think that fall has been overdone and punters are possibly waiting in the wings for a bit more news before they return to the stock.

I'm Banging on About this Cancer-Zapper, Again - But It's Still on Course for Share Success.

Hello Share Crafters. In the past I’ve probably written too many pieces on a medical share which I like. During that period, I’ve seen the shares rise from 2p to 17p. Sadly, the share price has reversed back to 6.5p. And the worst of it is I bought a shedload more shares when they were around 10p. I refer, of course, to that darling of the bulletin boards Advanced Oncotherapy (AVO). I haven’t featured the company for some time now and it’s probably worth an update.

Three Dwarves and a Giant Make Jack All Right.

Hello Share Sliders.When I chose four shares to recommend to my student son Jack three weeks ago, he did his own research. Then he decided my suggestions were ok and piled in. He had £1,000 to play with, money he’d saved by chamber maid-ing at the holiday flats next door. So that was £250 in each company?

In the Jungle, the City Jungle, the Advanced Oncotherapy Lion Sleeps Tonight

On the principal that one should always put their money where one’s gob is, I try not to highlight shares, which I don’t already own. So let me begin this modest column by saying that, not only do I already own a heavy bundle of Advanced Oncatherapy (AVO) shares, but some of my friends and relatives have them, too.

The normal thing in venture type companies is raise 12 months money to enable any next round to be done at a premium off the back of some achievement. That wd be £25m ish.AVCT has however done a bunch of smaller raises eg to cover the next Heights payment, normally at a tight discount. You wd have thought that wd “weigh” on the market - but hasn’t.The play has been to take stock at a reasonable discount and feed it out to hungry retail over a period - an insto/retail arbitrage.

Price, apart from a small minority who come for pre arranged jobs the majority of migrants coming here are low grade people, especially those who are coming here by boat, often not wanted in their own countries, have no education and speak no English. So how do you train uneducated people who don't speak English for jobs that do not exist?? There are over 6 million claiming out of work benefits and there are only 780000 jobs on the market.There is no poverty in the UK which as am Indian neighbour of mine in his 50's, been here for 30 years, recently reminded me. Go to the back streets of Calcutta etc if you want to see poverty.

The huge discount to net present value when mine construction is imminent allows a significant margin of safety at the current price.If and when Kefi are able to give a detailed update on the political and by implication the security position that would give the shares a big boost as would commencement of mine construction.It is for each investor to weigh up the risk /reward ratio as compared with other miners.There is complete transparency in the discussions here.

It’s easy to see the logical flaw in your argument. Refugees and other economic migrants are much more highly motivated to train and get jobs than locals are. Despite all your phony statistics, real statistics universally show that immigrants work harder than locals generating revenue both for the State and for their employers. The problem with all the NEETs is their reluctance to do anything positive. This is partly the fault of all those who say the country is broken, when it isnt, and of all the others who say that climate change (or AI) will kill is all. They see no point in trying hard and just simply choose to “lie down” like the unemployed Chinese graduates that we read about.
