Very much a punt but I can’t help thinking the breakthrough in Huntington’s disease treatment being headlined by the BBC today could open up opportunities for AIM tiddler (£10M MC) Ixico #IXI.L which specialises in brain scanning procedures for diseases such as this.
Essential to DYOR here though!

Two suitors have walked away from GlobalData #DATA.L recently and the SP has tumbled accordingly, briefly touching 143p this morning.
Falling knives and all that but maybe there is potential for recovery as long as AI and data management remain buzzwords.
I’ve bought a few. Risky. DYOR.

#ITM.L. Any idea what’s behind the sustained rise in ITM Power recently - up 120% in the last month. There was a series of contract win RNS announcements a while back but the SP strength looks to be more than that.

Alright, I think people knew of the tariff pause and traded it beforehand.
You can see before Trump posted "buy" on Truth Social, traders opened $QQQ $TQQQ and $SPY calls
RIGHT BEFORE THE NEWS, someone opened $SPY 509 calls, expiring TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those calls are up 2100% in one hour.

Does anyone have any idea if Evraz #EVR.L is likely to have any value whatsoever when/if peace finally comes to Ukraine? Does the company even exist now? Has it retained any assets?

Incredibly brave 100 from Hridoy for Bangladesh. He’s barely been able to stay on his feet because of cramp for the last 10 overs. I doubt it will be enough to stop India though. #championstrophy

Either there is a calculation error or Monkey With A Pin (which is a randomly selected portfolio) has gone badly wrong with some shorts this month.

Thrilling innings from Rishabh Pant in Sydney. 50 of 29 balls. #AUSIND. Well worth getting up early to watch. He’s giving India a real chance in the 5th Test.

Touchstar #TST a bit weaker in the first 6 months although apparently this was in line with management expectations. A strategic review has been announced that could well result in the company being sold or delisted IMO. Will this finally unlock some value for shareholders?

Encouraging update from #NIOX today plus a surprise tender offer to buy back a big chunk of shares at 80p. I’m surprised it’s still trading at around 67-70p and have added to my holding. DYOR.
