Gave you a TU, Yokka. Must say I'm waiting with baited breath, though not from fear of missing a big catch.

The problem with providing market "guidance" is you immediately set yourself up for failure if you don't meet the target. Conversely, if you don't provide any timelines, you're equally pilloried. Trying to please all the people at least some of the time is a no-win situation when dealing with Big Pharma.

Given the confidentiality contraints he operates under, I believe Alan has done his best to keep shareholders informed about progress and the likely timing of significant events. That said, any one small detail could derail that "guidance" and put back a given timetable by weeks if not months. Doesn't mean it won't happen, just flies in the ointment.

The one thing he cannot do is tell the pharma clients we have to do this by such-and-such a date because I told the market we would!

With apologies for all the typos in my previous post.
