    That's exactly the point - if an impending announcement of a trading halt (down to the day) is that widely known then the company is hardly keeping the market informed is it ?
    But that is common practice these days so nothing new.

    sorry for taking the thread off topic.

    Good luck to all with the rolling of the dice on the announcement (assuming you don't already know the contents :D)

    Maybe you're looking at it from the wrong perspective? On Friday the company informed the market (which was already anticipating an announcement of trial results) that an announcement was imminent.
    To me that is very informative. More informative than if they had kept it a secret.
    I'd rather know an announcement was imminent, than have one sprung on me by surprise.

    Are you talking about PBT ?
    There was no announcement made on Friday.
    Most recent announcement before today's trading halt was 2.5 weeks ago.

    "The company is expecting the release of the results of a Phase 2 Alzheimer's Disease trial later this month" Announcement dated 11th March.

    Today was the last day of the month, hence my prediction of a TH today. Market was well informed IMHO. :)

    As Greenman mentioned, they had promised results before the end of March.
    On Fri night, there was a Biotech Industry Futures Leaders Conference in NY. PBT had a rep presenting, and the conference had a live webcast.
    These particular quotes by PBT caught my attention:
    After Friday, that left only today for release. After the conference on Fri night, I put 2 and 2 together, and concluded that they were going to release trial results imminently :lol: (ie today).

    Yes.
    And also avoid companies that invent miracle biotech solutions, or that mine silver..... neither can fulfil their claim to be the world's saviour. :lol:

    Seriously, here is the biggest lesson that can be taken by any stacker from this fabulous announcement disaster.
    I have been using this comp as a study/calibration/verification of my trading phsyc, which I consider the most important measure in trading... the ability to detach and be objective.

    Now, check out this HC thread leading into this afternoon's disaster. It is eerily reminiscent of a lot of PM advocates in relation to QE. It echoes so much sentiment displayed in threads on this very forum.
    These guys had already counted their winnings based on the ignorant assumption that they were right. Sound familiar? :rolleyes:
    In fact, it is a perfect analogy of how emotional attachment can turtle you up real fast if you don't remain objective and realistic......
    Just saying....

    yea, that's pretty bad
    in line with US reaction though,
    do they have anything else in the pipeline in the short/medium term?
    Suspect they will drift lower until there is another catalyst/reason to buy in..

    MEU -21% on the day
    PBT -74% on the day
    :lol: I think we should stick to silver, at least it only drops 50% from peak!
    anyone else have a big loss today?
