    EMED is attracting my interest more and more...

    :p

    Anything you want to know - if it exists in print, I've read it.
    Not that it is any great recommendation. As I say, I've been waiting months for a major re-rating.
    Finally believe we're at it with the hurdle overcome on the fourth signature. As usual the DYOR caveat but happy to help if I can.

    ACU (one of mine) is up over 17% today and my other (BEM) was level.

    I'm looking to buy KEA if i can get it under 12, hopefully tomorrow.

    I'm up over 8.5% this week which is a damn site better than Santander's 2.75% gross PA.

    Only speculate with money your willing to lose.

    With over 12x the amount in EMED vs OTC you'll excuse me if I do a little dance?

    around 6p a share since the 14th, thats over 20% you could have had a nice return GD for less than a months work.
    TBF 1month is not long term :)

    I have not done anything, but as I said it looks like they should gain value long term (looking at where they were)
