Good luck anything under 5p today. Before 3p yesterday , When market cap was steady at £5-6m the volume was astonishing and most of the company was bought up.
#lackofstock
A lot of people have either lost money or this opportunity because of people like Nathan constantly going on an on s as bout how it it’s a lifestyle share etc ..
It was always a gamble and still is but posters need to be considered when posting .
No way!
People were slating this share just a couple of weeks ago.
Looking forward to making money here today!
Yup, and Piers is talking about them now on ITV
It's no longer about masks, tests and vaccines.... All I hear in the news now is passports , passports , passports, passports .
I'll set an order in case it drops a bit on open to increase my stake but I suspect to press coverage will bring in new investors today
Been looking around this morning and think we maybe in the driving seat if the Government do go down this road and keep the contract on our waters.
IBM and KTDI offer a similar product.
Will see 5. very quick, maybe today, just my take on things and as always DYOR...GLA
The Mail this morning........
One of the strategies the Government is considering to help keep to their schedule of opening, is a covid digital ID card.
Ministers have previously played down the idea.
But junior market-listing Catenae Innovation was one of the big winner from this U-turn.
Boris concerns...
It’s no different to someone doing a credit check on you as far as effects are concerned, Blockchain is the real power of their technology.
Always DYOR and never listen to others on this board.

saying government in talks to have app showing vaccinations and tests by step 4 in june
Game changing news happened. To be fair, I clearly remember investors calling Mullis of novacyt all kinds of names before COVID .
I came across this share yesterday and this BB was full of angry people saying how awful the management team were. I closed my laptop on this and went to my next company to research... 24hrs later, everyone is praising the management team and saying this will 10 bag.
What on earth happened to the pessimistic attitude? "GUY IS THIS", "GUY IS THAT". Fickle BB here, or have I missed something?
Nope RMS haven't actually sold anything or have a sellable product, I knew that from the start. We are actually probably in forward negotiations and certainly trialling systems. Good news .... Competition is lower here... and government has bills to burn .... £10bn wasted on test and trace , they'll probably spend not as much in the future but defo several billions on a British companies doing a much better job.
That's right £10bn overspent on a test and trace system which is frankly useless. How much for our system and applications? Oh boy ...it's gonna get absolutely huge here

The UK government has spent £10bn (€11.2bn; $12.7bn) on its much derided covid-19 test and trace programme and £15bn on personal protective equipment for frontline healthcare staff, the Treasury disclosed this week.
It revealed the figures in a document summarising the substantial financial commitments made by the government in response to covid-19,1 published on 8 July as part of the chancellor’s plan for jobs. The Treasury also disclosed that, since mid-March, the government had spent £1bn on additional ventilators for the NHS and £5.5bn on other health spending, such as paying for extra capacity in private sector facilities.
Experts said that they were astonished at the size of the sums, including the billions paid to private companies such as Serco to run “test and trace” services.
Private companies
Allyson Pollock, co-director of the Newcastle University Centre for Excellence in Regulatory Science and a member of the Independent Scientific Advisory Group for Emergencies, described the £10bn figure as “scandalous expenditure.”
She added, “There are really serious questions to be asked about the way these contracts were set up and about their performance. Ten billion pounds spent, and we don’t even have an effective test and trace strategy. Not all cases are being detected, half of cases are not giving contacts, and those which do are largely doing it through traditional public health teams, while the commercial call handlers have got little to do.
“This money should have been put into supporting the established system of public health services instead of going into new parallel centralised services run by private companies, where much of it is squandered and wasted.”
Chris Ham, former chief executive of the King’s Fund, said that the numbers were “astonishing.” He tweeted: “Would be good to understand exactly what money was spent on, especially on test and trace where expertise in NHS and local authorities has been overlooked as private sector used.”2
Rachel Reeves, Labour’s shadow cabinet office minister, called for a full published breakdown of the £10bn. She added, “Early in the crisis the government wasted the opportunity to build on existing expertise and experience within our public services for contact tracing, and instead ministers chose to hand lucrative contracts to a handful of outsourcing companies including some with a questionable record of delivery.”
Commenting on the £10bn spent on testing and tracing, a Department of Health and Social Care spokesperson said, “NHS Test and Trace is a new, large scale service, designed to allow us to return to as near to normal as possible, so that we can rebuild the economy, control the virus, and save lives.
“Using this funding we have establishe
Absolutely right, It could be another RMS, good for nothing
Could be. I held GHT for over a decade the most useless company ever , yet is valued at £100m. I think minimum is £30m market cap here, simply because of the way RMS is valued at £31 - another utterly useless company.
We actually seem to be in talks with governments which after a year long wait for most people on here finally seem worth waiting for . Today confirms we are finally pushing towards a slam dunk and end game.
I'll go for 50p- £1 if a signed Govt contract.
Ten bags with ease on a signed contract
Ctea looks set to gain a slice of the large pie imo
