Wise to hold on more positive news on its way.

well you have to admit he is pretty good at talking up the companies prospect.
Hopefully not just more rhetoric.

You'd hope so... a market capitalisation of $300M at its current SP of 94C.

I would certainly think a $300M or even a $500M buy is an acquisition that a major pharma could easily achieve - they are not shy to acquire and monopolise.

Without going behind the NBR paywall, the headline on their website says it pretty well:

Pacific Edge will be 'juicy nugget' for purchase: David Darling.

That being so, it really doesn't need a lot more proof of immediate marketing achievement by the Dunedin crew to keep the SP going up.

Almost makes you wonder if a takeover has been his plan all along?

Popcorn time!

Yawn. Prob gets offers every other day. (ducks)
What is actually behind the paywall? In what context was this statement made? We now believe everything in the NBR?

Regardless of whether it's true or not, is that not very unprofessional to drop it like that? Almost another tens of thousands of tests moment.

Two good press releases followed by a favorable statement.... Familiar pattern?

Well certainly when asked at the AGM, his response was that the company should have a few more runs on board first, but if a takeover was proposed shareholders would be informed. Could happen at anytime of course, but it was way more likely in 2011 and will be more likely again from 2017, less likely in between.
