Hi any sources/links?

Thanks
 
Re: RBY oh my

The annoucement released to the market on the 21st of Nov. mentions the bird flu kits are expected to be distributed from 1st of December throughout South East Asia. RBY holders are awaiting an annoucement to confirm this.

On the 1st of December an annoucement was released to the market in regards to the HIV. RBY is to be the distributor of the test throughout Singapore.

A recent share placement at 3.5 cents has allowed RBY to raise up to $1.575 million (b4 costs).

RBY is also using this additional capital to expand into the U.S. and European markets.

Hope this information helps you!

A little more information: the news is a little old though

Rockeby shares soar on bird flu tests


November 8, 2005 - 8:59AM


Shares in little known biotechnology company Rockeby Biomed soared after the firm said it had international distribution rights to two new tests for bird flu.

The anti-fungal test developer, which has a market capitalisation of about $3 million, said the deal will positively impact its results this year.

The Singapore-based company will roll-out the tests in the Asia-Pacific, Europe and South Africa as part of a deal with Pacific Biotech Co Ltd in Thailand.

The Rockeby shares pushed up to an intra-day high of 5.6 cents before closing up 3.2 cents - or 267 per cent - at 4.4 cents on Tuesday.

The stock topped turnover on the Australian Stock Exchange with 200 million shares traded.

Managing director Sze Wee Tan said he had been overwhelmed by the market’s reaction.

"I have been totally caught off guard with the market reaction," he said.

Dr Tan was unable to estimate the potential market for the products, but expects Rockeby will benefit in the current year.

"We are probably going to expect this to factor quite positively towards our current 2006 financial year," he said.

Health experts around the world have warned a worldwide bird flu pandemic could occur if the virus, which has killed 63 people in Asia, mutates.

The treat of bird flu has recently supported shares in bigger biotechs CSL, which is trialling a vaccine for the illness, and Biota, whose influenza drug, Relenza, can be used as a treatment.

Rockeby will target the two ten-minute tests, which Pacific Biotech will make under the Rockeby brand, to government agencies, hospitals and clinics.

The first can be used on bird faeces and blood to detect the H5N1 strain of the virus while the second would be used to detect the deadly strain in humans.

The H5N1 strain has recently spread to eastern Europe and is expected to move into the Middle East and Africa.

Dr Tan said the tests had substantial advantages over other alternatives which rely on transferring samples to a laboratory.

"There is an urgent need for a quick, reliable test for avian flu," he said.

Rockeby - which is also developing tests for fungal conditions such as thrush - said the World Health Organisation (WHO) had called for new methods of detecting bird flu to prevent a pandemic.

The company said the international health body had also criticised veterinary controls in the most risk-prone countries as being weak.
 
Re: RBY oh my

Sounds like the first shipment is on its way and the second is ready to be shipped...

"The first shipment of avian and human influenza test were shipped out this week. The demand for the kits was very positive, and we are now planning the second shipment to be sent before Christmas. We will be providing the update to the market shortly."

Best regards,

Sze Wee

All on track!

Re: RBY oh my

I would like to draw your attention to this quote below in the following news article...

"More than 63 million chicken, ducks and other poultry have died from the virus or been culled. "

RBY has a test kit that test poultry for the flu.

Millions of these birds were culled for no reason.

Wasted food that could have feed millions of people.

RBY are in discussion with poultry producers and are keen to sell their kits




Boy dies of bird flu
From correspondents in Bangkok
09dec05

A FIVE-year-old boy has died of bird flu in central Thailand, marking the country's 14th death from the H5N1 virus, health authorities said today.

The boy died on Wednesday in a hospital in Ongkharak district of Nakhon Nayok province, a senior health ministry official said ahead of a press conference by Health Minister Pinit Jarusombat.

"The laboratory tests results came out Thursday, confirming that he had H5N1," the official said.

Fourteen of the boy's relatives had been placed under surveillance, she said.

Thailand has made strides in curbing the disease, recruiting 900,000 volunteers to monitor for any outbreaks and beginning to produce its own version of the anti-viral drug Tamiflu.

But it has nonetheless struggled to eradicate the disease, which began to again infect humans in late October. The winter months are considered the most dangerous for bird flu.

The latest death marks the 22nd confirmed case of bird flu in Thailand since the H5N1 virus was first detected here nearly two years ago.

More than 63 million chicken, ducks and other poultry have died from the virus or been culled.
 
Re: RBY oh my

Still cannot understand why anybody would sell this stock, with confirmation annoucements on the way.

RBY has $$$$$$$$$$$$ written all over it.

It really is a no-brainer stock.

Even if you know nothing about the stock market or trading, you can pick a bird flu stock like RBY or BTA and make money.

Just buy in and wait for the shipment/stock piling annoucements.

wouldnt the current prices already incoporate the assumption of the shipment/stock piling annoucements?
 
Re: RBY oh my

Possibly a little, although depends on the amount of money/stock piling/shipments/future sales RBY can generate.

The market has really only factored in the assumption of confirmation, not true fact.
 
Re: RBY oh my

An Announcement has just been released to the market which confirms sales of the bird flu test kits.

RBY appears to be going global. All looks set for a positive day on RBY
 
Re: RBY oh my

Not a good day considering the announcement. Numbers may be small but even so you would expect a better price.
 
Re: RBY oh my

Wasn't too bad a day, considering the announcement was a market update. More announcements to follow and some with $$$ attached is my guess.

Hold in there!
 
Re: RBY oh my

Its got potentional but need some speculation on what sort of revenue thier hopeing to achieve

I just can't see it cracking that 5c mark in a hurry happy to be wrong though/


once again its opened high on announcement and dropped back.. did more traders get sucked in and caught out today.... did the stranded from last run dump?

needs to get through low 5's strongly before its worth a punt or wait till it drops back and buy in for the sell on next update..

thats my impression anyway if your looking for short term gain...
 
Re: RBY oh my

I would have thought that the current pull back is due, as you say, to the stranded from last time selling out.

I think that now is the best price you will get for a while and that they will rise from again over the next few weeks.

Unlike some other speculative stocks they do have sales now and the bird flu problem will not go away with only small outbreaks increasing the need for testing.
 
Re: RBY oh my

RBY appears to be finishing off 2005 in a very under-valued way.

Its current share price is a steal and 2006 will prove me to be correct in my thinking.

Governments around the world are stock piling bird flu test kits, not to mention the HIV play in this stock.

Are potential investors missing something here?
 
Re: RBY oh my

Most certainly, I agree. The less deaths the better. That said, death is the end result of this flu, and a killer flu at that. Testing and re-testing will be the key to controlling deadly out-breaks

No mater the death count high or low, RBY shareholders will profit. Fear, media hype, government stock piling and private stock piling will occur at rapid rates throughout 2006.

Not a day goes by now without reading/hearing/seeing articles in the media about the bird flu.

We are long over-due for a pandemic, will this flu mutate from bird to human, yes that has happened already, and deaths have been documented and recorded. Will it now mutate from human to human, well that is the fear and it is highly possible.

What are you going to do about it?

Are you going to stock pile your own doses of Relenza?

Are you going to stock pile your own masks,gloves etc for infection control measuers?

Are you going to buy and profit from bird flu related stocks like RBY and BTA?

Its up to you!

I see you are still trading the high risk stocks Krisbarry, still it is working for you, PNO a prime example.Good luck with RBY, too risky for me.:xyxthumbs
 
Re: RBY oh my

Volume and Share price up today, lots of on-market buying. Appears another annoucement isn't too far off now.

Please, oh please, lets hope RBY releases some financials with it to settle the knockers/doubters.

I see $$$$$
