Re: Abcam moving from AIM to the main LSE ma... Grass,"after Abcam joins the main market - it is just a question of when the inevitable happens."Jeff Iliffe, the head abacus rattler at Abcam, is also a NED at Treatt (incidentally my biggest single holding). Treatt is capitalised at not much more than a tenth of Abcam and yet Treatt is listed on the main market rather than on AIM. I imagine that that will have made Jeff at least consider putting on big boy pants and moving Abcam over to the main market, where all sorts of investors might well be willing to put some money into Abcam shares who are currently forbidden by the rules of their funds from investing in an AIM company.Bring it on!LKH on the flybridge with apologies to pharmaspecialist

Re: berenberg targets £4.10 I can see the stock being worth that in a year with further earnings growth, but for hitting 4.10 today, I think this one might be near a short-term peak on a long-term trajectory of steady growth as profits continue to improve with constant ROCE.

Re: Why the rise? Yes I see now - patience is a virtue I could do with some more of...Bear in mind also with the number of products shipped in last 90 days that this will change with the time of year as well as resulting from genuine growth. Expect relative dips over the summer (Europe on holiday) and especially in December for Christmas holiday. Sept/Oct/Nov is a strong period.

Re: Why the rise? Pharma,"the inheritance tax exemption on holdings in AIM companies after they have been owned for for two years or more is very attractive."I can quite understand that attitude, though it has always struck me as dangerous for investors when government provides generous tax breaks merely for holding Investment A (AIM) but not for holding Investment B (Main Market). That's a charlatan's charter. As an aside, it also strikes me as totally wrong that people who would normally be liable for IHT should be able to avoid it via the simple expedient of slapping their wad (or part of it) into an AIM company. Yeah, yeah, I know that government wants to encourage investment in small companies, but that ain't the way to do it. Rant over.If I were Gidiot I'd abolish IHT completely and, when someone carks it, I'd tax whatever his/her heirs received in the will at his/her marginal income tax rate. It's right that recipients of largesse pay tax on the spondoolies, but not right that, in addition to the disappointment of actually dying, one's estate is then stripped by HMRC.LKH on the flybridge

CFU bobsson 02 Dec 2014

Re: MHCP Milestones lawdoc, E.ON announced yesterday a big re-organisation, they are going to concentrate on renewable energy, and I think CFU could benefit big time from this decision. The detail of what the E.ON decision entails regarding the new direction need to be clarified, but I think they are looking at local generation, smart grids, and lots of green generation. As you will note from my previous posts, I consider these integrated units to be key to success for CFU. The trials at soft-pact.eu have been ongoing for some time and if E.ON, CFU and Ideal Boilers pull this one off, it could be very big for CFU and its shareholders, especially at current sp of around 0.4p. The integrated units and Bluegens will supplement and support the green generation, all co ordinated and modulated by an electronic smart grid.IMHO DYOR NAI

Re: Closing in on highs So what happened I turn my back for a day and suddenly the share price is tanking . Having sold out earlier this year at £6.90 I was looking to get back in at a lower price now I think I will have to wait and see how far down this will go . Is it just the oil price or is there something else going on?

Re: Publication of Bond Prospectus There is a requirement to invest and a lack of bonds available so I suspect it will be over subscribed. There was no level of stress from Kalaa over the bond.

ABC Eating Grass 02 Dec 2014

Abcam moving from AIM to the main LSE market? If Abcam moves to the main stock market I am sure the share price would quickly rise with the higher profile. Abcam could raise cheaper money and grow more quickly with more frequent or bigger acquisitions. On the downside it would cost Abcam more in accountancy and broker fees to prepare for the transition. So should Abcam join the big boys?In the short term we shareholders would do very well. Yet there is no immediate imperative because Abcam is already cash rich and does not need external funding for organic growth. Abcam is already big enough to move from AIM having a market cap of over £850 million.In the long run a massive Abcam which would be like "Amazon for Biological Consumable". A bigger portfolio of trusted reagents might be very handy for scientists. If Abcam does go on the take over trail this could happen any time (and make LK Hyman happy). Perhaps I should hang onto my shares until after Abcam joins the main market - it is just a question of when the inevitable happens.

Re: Why the rise? I agree with most of what you say LKH but I very much hope that Abcam does not move to the main market as I am a long term investor and the inheritance tax exemption on holdings in AIM companies after they have been owned for for two years or more is very attractive. No doubt this is also attractive to some of Abcam's large shareholders, including some directors. This is also why quite a few family owned companies are on AIM and I have noticed that some of these companies, where the family owns large stakes, seem to be quite good quality companies with decent long term records.
