pacer said:Todays announcement is significant, but I think the market has already factored it in to most peoples expectations before it was released, and SLA is being held as an investment for the future rather than a share to be traded just yet, which may account for Moses's interpretation, and as he says it may even defy the indicators.
I expect there to be plenty of volume as traders versus investors scramble for positions in the lead up to Ropren being available in March, and some reasonable trading opportunities till then.
Dennis Kilroy (Director) has stated that they do not intend to sell any of thier 'out of escrow' shares as stated on 'Boardroom Radio, and this was also communicated personaly to me by him, which gives me even more confidence here.
So from what I have read, my understang is that, they have a product that has the potential to knock multi-billion dollar sales (eg. Lipitor-US $12 billion) of other drugs off the shelves and replace them with ours....which is mind boggling considering the current market cap, and how close ropren is to making big revenues to cover expansion costs and more testing for all 15 Bioeffectives.
If you look at it that way it is still very cheap at this price, IMO, and any pull back will just make buying opportunities for investors, and I may have to take up another paper route, so I can get a few more.....lol
As always DYOR, and it's worth doing here to see it's potential.
Believe it or not Pacer, the fact that it is a natural substance, I believe is it's biggest draw back. It's unfortunate but it will likely be sold next to Blackmores, rather than from a GP's prescription pad (where the real money is made). Logicol a case in point...pacer said:Lipitor has been proven to dammage the liver, where Ropren has been proven not to, along with having other benefits beyond cholesterol normalisation, which is all lipitor is designed to do. Ropren is a natural substance derived from Conifer tree needles carefuly put together by mother nature in lush siderian forests, lipitor is a bunch of chemicals slapped together in a lab....I know what I'd prefer.
davepan said:dhukka,
While I think that pacer has got a little carried away quoting billion dollar sales figures (sorry pacer), IMO SLA has enormous to make substantial profits in the future.
If you take a look at the AGM presentation, they estimated initial demand for Ropren in Russia alone by 2009 to be at least 100,000 courses per year.
There has been much speculation on the proposed selling price of around $1,000USD per course as the Russian Government offers subsidies of up to $1,000USD for hospital based treatments.
At the AGM SLA also indicated that they expect Gross Profit on the sale of their products to be 75% which is reasonable for pharmaceutical products.
Now - put $100mUSD revenue per year into your NPV calculator with a GP of 75%.
Does that give you a number with a 4 or 5 in front of it?
Remember that this is only ONE of their products in ONE country.
They have other products - Bioeffective A & B along with other target markets.
Now I agree that SLA is extremely risky and does not generate any substantial revenue at the moment, but you have to see the potential.
dhukka said:Yes Davespan I see the 'potential' but the numbers being bandied about are meaningless at this stage. If you are on-board with Pacer then all the best. Just remember it's easy to get carried away with the potential upside and lose all persepctive on real value.

I could be wrong though...
Yeah, I'm not doubting its potential to make money, I'm doubting how much. If it is a blackmores type, the revenue will be limited, but if it is a prescription based medicine, I dare say the revenue base will be significantly larger. And if it is marketed as a natural product, you will have every man and his dog coming out with studies showing why it doesn't work etc. etc.pacer said:In Company news, Blackmores Ltd has announced that it expects sales and profit to rise by 10 per cent this year, after posting a record first half result. The Company's net profit was at $10.19 million, up by 37 per cent, as sales rose 16.2 per cent to $84.4 million. Its Australian sales climbed by 14.5 per cent led by a strong performance in its pharmacy channel.
That is from australian investor.com and it shows that natural products are a big thing, and once people realise that you don't need chemicals, and that these bioeffectives are actualy better, we will see companies like SLA go ballistic, then we'll be saying that being a 'natural product' is it's biggest benefit......
IMO blackmores are tiny and may be pushed off the shelves for bioeffectives, or you may even see a solagran patch on thier label, as they may just use existing companies like blackmores, but add bioeffectives to thier products in a licencing deal along with many other companies that make toothpaste,losengers,.....you name it.
Ropren will be a registered pharmacutiacal (in Russia at least), and probably come as an injection, once that trial is completed, so you will probably have to go to your doctor for it.
There may be two sides to any logical conclusion.....
