   Hi Tom,

   Sorry to be pedantic (well, I’m not sorry really, I rather enjoy it) but your disclosure at the top the page still makes reference to The Real Man Pizza Company being owned by a trust for your dependents.

   Okay, I admit it, I’m feeling a bit grumpy as smarting a bit over Optibiotix. Bought at around 37p and sold at an average of 46p. Thought I was being clever by taking a quick 25% profit. Very well done to you and others who have successfully multi-bagged this one.

   Steve

   Yep I sold at 40p but did not buy LGO with the loot ………… the Missus had demanded I buy her a new car due to the fact that the last brand spanking new car I bought her had accumulated 240,000 miles and still going strong ! but the seat coverings were very threadbare indeed . Poverty spec does not even come close ! Anyway a new car I duly ordered . It duly came a month earlier from the factory than expected ,and the Dealer demanded I take delivery and pay for it . Fair enough . Anyway it was your tip that contributed to the car, so cheers for that . Incidentally I ordered it from one of them online brokers for a huge discount ( first time I have ever used one ) Everything went really smoothly and I would happily recommend them ( Drive the deal ) Should keep her in doors quiet for at least 5 years anyways ……….Hurrah ! My son who inherited “the relic” , as we called the wife’s last car , was less pleased as you can imagine ……… waste not want not ………… “its still going, what you complaining about” I said . Yep 240k and got through another MOT just last month for £200 of little bits . The spider living behind the ABS unit has a new owner but he seems oblivious at this stage .

   Just to add my congratulations. I bought into Optibiotix @ 0.16p and sold @0.48p. A nice earner!

   With the proceeds I bought into HomeRetail @£1.52p, which just goes to show how much I know!

   I’ll stick with your and the ShareProphets teams tips in future!

   Thanks to TW, I have bought these several times and am now in the position that OPTI represents nearly 30% of my portfolio. This is far too much, but what should I do? Should I set a stop loss and if so at what level? Is this share just being driven by momentum or is there real news coming?

   Thanks for all kind comments.

   T Welbourn? Hmmm 30% seems a tad imprudent surely there must be a strong case in your circumstances for top slicing a bit?

   Steve Holdsworth – Thanks for the reminder: the checklist that writers choose their disclosures from has been updated to show a new company, Financial Investigative Media Limited, is the one that is owned by a trust that benefits dependents of Tom rather than the Real Man Pizza Company, which is now only a purveyor of fine pizza and craft beer and available for reservations for office teams this Christmas season.

    Re the Ascent Resources placing via Primarybid that you are going to partake in, do you not think you are forgetting your own judgment in these type of stocks as although you might be able to flip post placing with a bit of profit it is a tad risky.
    Presuming you do flip that’s ok but say you don’t straight away as it don’t quite hit your min target this stock has a potential worsening situation.
    Perhaps to give balance you could do a normal review of this company (putting aside your placing interest) and go through the balance sheet and future risks etc…. (Not at all lining it up to prove my concerns are risk weighted right)….
    It appears it will prob burn close to £3m from interim to end of December and using just end of interim cash and placing funds ( not incl rec-payables) it surely is going to eat some £2m into the loan facility (supposed to be not used for general running costs) as its main cost is debt
    The permit may not be appeal sorted for another 6 months potentially and if they get the other route it’s been stated will take 6months to start up anyway….perhaps if they get other route they may get some bridging finance etc….(more debt) but surely this stock really will need to raise again in maybe even January…
    Good luck with the flip and of course I could be wrong as it just my opinion but beware of delays and increasing debt…..

    OPTI has been an excellent tip for me, makes my ISA look very healthy, hopefully NIPT, REAT, and what looks like AR’s next project, NEW, do as well.

    Cheers
