Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Disclosure: Financial Investigative Media Limited, which is not owned by Tom Winnifrith but by a trust for his dependants, owns shares in companies mentioned in this article. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
Listeners have pity on me. Lunch with the UK's top share blogger beckons. That means the regime which leaves Paul looking so trim and svelt - ie lots of alcohol - plus long lectures on margins in online retailing. If that does not turn a sober fellow like me into a drunken share blogger nothing will. Away from that I explain why I am not really a snob and then make a snobbish comment or two, then discuss CIC Gold (CICG), ECR Minerals (ECR), Falanx (FLX) and Optibiotix (OPTI) and the curse of the Sith Lord Zak Mir and Plethora (PLE) and its premature ejaculation drug. I dont understand what it is all about but invite readers to share their personal experiences so that we can get a grip on what's going on here.

I did investigate the PLE product in the early days to see whether it really had a worthy product.
There are loads of equivalent products on the market that contain same sort of anesthetic (Lidocaine etc). It numbs the penis so is less sensitive. Its the sensitivity that causes PE. Sufferers of PE unfortunately have too sensitive a penis and so ejaculate too early (less the 3 mins I believe is the bench mark – some ejaculate in less than 30 secs) – it is a genuine condition and causes great stress to couples. So there is a market that address such sufferers.
However PLE are way behind in this field. The FDA has already approved a similar product : https://www.promescent.com/ well publicised and leading the field.
and there are loads of similar products that are non fda approved, both here and in the US and elsewhere…. one is Stud 100. Its fraction of the price PLE would cost. A FDA approval would mean medics could prescribe it…. but it would also cost a lot more. Similar non FDA ones are available all over the place.. inc ebay at fraction of the cost.
Type in “premature ejaculation spray” in google and click “shopping” and see how many variants of the same product there. All contain an anesthetic of some sort.
So I fail to see how PLE’s product is novel or new.

I’m not spraying anything on my dick after the experience with NADS hair removal cream. This stung like a bastard and left the whole area RED RAW. To make matters worse in my state of utter pain and confusion I made the additional error of liberally dosing the area with hydrogen peroxide, which was next to the sun burn ‘calming’ lotion in my bathroom. WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nobody can begin to imagine the excruciating agony which seemed to be never ending. Weeks later all is well and dickie is a happy fellow, but sorry Jim Melon, there will be no more experimenting in that area!!! My friends of course thought this was fucking hilarious, not…

Tom ,you re an expert on curing pe, 8 pints of lager means you can keep going all night. Failing this a freezer spray,as used by professional footballers[ when they get kicked on the field of play] is just as effective. Failing this your wife might be glad its all over quickly. There are so many variations on a theme[not Karma sutra variations] , answer there is no market. From a stringvested and tattooed northerner
Aidan
My name is Aidan and I am posting on behalf of my friend Doug. Despite buying all the remedies advertised in the back of Razzle, trying everything available over the counter, and trying some things available over the kitchen table, Doug has had a problem for many years now with consistently promising too much and delivering nothing. I have tried to console him with my prediction that this will be the least of his worries when we all join our friend Craig in Barlinnie next year. Being the prettiest of the three of us I believe Doug will quite literally be on the receiving end. Despite my warnings he continues to spunk it all up the wall. Do you have any advice Tom?

In 35 years as a pharmacist we never had one request for a PE product. On research recently it appears that consultations for erectile dysfunction to PE ratio is about 80:1.
And after all a soft dick is a bother to both partners. Yet, let’s face it … plenty of females would be happy to get a session over with I am certain. So nope this product is a loser in my professional opinion.
Try Foreplay
For those who understand the concept of foreplay it is not a problem, just work out the appropriate balance that leaves both sides satisfied. I guess in extreme cases where you can’t even get your pants off before it is all over some additional aid may be needed and this can be fun too – a few, but not too many, drinks shared in interesting ways is far better than running off to the bathroom to put something on percy so he does not make a mess in the wrong place.

Hi Tom, from the female perspective, my ex husband suffered from PE. The fool refused to acknowledge it or do anything about it so we are now divorced. It was frustrating for me because he had his release and I didn’t. I think there is a market for this drug. For starters it is prescription based so will be used under medical guidance with a greater support network for the man than an over the counter medication.

If at first you dont succeed …………….. give up and go to sleep .
Its a good job Oakley is not a dog ……… he would fall over every time he got to a lamp post ………. Just saying thats all.

From an investment viewpoint everyone is searching for an oil explorer with a gusher and a pharmaceutical company that will produce a product which stops a gusher. Only problem is we end up with the two mixed up.

Probably cheaper, what with the price of prescriptions these days , To make a plaster cast of it standing to attention in the face of the enemy . You can then make a resin replica from the cast and give it to her for Xmas . Job sorted , and you will get a lot more sleep , especially if your wife is an insatiable nympho . As for you , well just buy a car or motorbike with a very, very big engine and you will soon forget about it . The term petrol head was invented opposite this condition .
DUCK AND DIVE
PLE sounds like Futura (AIM:FUM) which already has 10 years’ R&D under its belt and has brought a range of condoms and sprays to market. One of my early multi-baggers – which did wonders for my cock. Maybe I’ll buy back in if they have a cure for FJET droop.
