I would not be surprised if Higgs are doing exactly was PI's do on an AIM share.
Have the capital to create hype and buy up cheap stocks, sell at a big profit, to then dump it to lower the price once again, all in order to buy back in cheaper and enjoy another ride.
Moral? Probably not...But makes money
GLA
a few decent buys coming through now
someone off twitter claims this buy
500K BUY ?
I sold out this morning, so expect a ground breaking RNS 7am tomorrow! Ha. I've redeployed funds elsewhere that I hope to have some positive news soon. If nothing lands from CTEA I might dip back in, but with sinificantly less than previously. GLA.
I am invested due to not just the covid app but their other avenues of generating sales and revenue. Results are probably not due imminently.
The issue here is there are plenty of investors looking for a quick buck and not patient enough for their returns. Their portfolios are in other companies who do release RNS consistently.
Its a very frustrating stock at times however should they pull off their international covid or non covid passport then you would look back at this and not believe how cheap you go in.

Just to add to this wild speculation there is a Mrs Higgs who is a product lead for NHS digital. Again, take that with a pinch of salt but you never know.
Thanks Jsp. I think it was me who originally posted about interesting results on Google for higgs / blockchain. The positive is the Higgs have invested a lot and no sign of selling. In my opinion the fact the CTEA are using Chainzy to host the app then I can't see a blockchain company buying CTEA, but then again we don't know how exactly CTEA's 'proprietary software' fits in. It's all a gamble at the moment.
Isthistheoneforme/mrspacetomato
isthistheoneforme is correct there is no direct evidence that Mr/s Higgs have a direct relationship with Blockchain. I remember a couple of weeks ago that there were some posts and research speculating who they were and links to a company that they could be involved in. No intention to mislead or ramp. It was merely mentioned as another avenue to go down with some more research. Apologies if it came across as fact rather than rumour.
A few things to bear in mind. First, the company will almost certainly be locked into NDAs with all parties it's in serious discussions with, and is therefore constrained from drip-feeding news of progress to the market. If/when there is firm agreement (ie. heads of terms), or indeed if the talks come to nothing, it will be obliged to release an RNS in the usual way. Second, the company is very hard to do due diligence on, with so little information out there in the public domain. Last annual report on Companies House website reveals just how small the company is. The company website offers little and neither the company nor its key personnel tweet or say much on LinkedIn. Ditto Afrik-ID. So as frustrating as it is we have no choice but to wait. I'm invested at various SPs (currently 36% down overall), though I did well on the last spike a few weeks back. I do like the company; they are not a one trick pony, and Covid-19 is clearly not going away. The share incentive scheme also suggests grounds for optimism. Some people on LSE have speculated at length on the recently advertised sales position and whether this is a positive or negative indication of progress. As a retired city corporate finance lawyer who spent years negotiating JVs of various kinds, I would think that all serious negotiations with other parties are being conducted by the SLT, and that as a tiny outfit Catenae simply needs more people during an immensely challenging time. So for my peace of mind I'm trying to adopt a mid-term view, ever-hopeful that positive news may turn up one day in the RNS box. Whether news is a few weeks away, months, or possibly never, I cannot of course tell, though I'm still topping up modestly as SP falls.
Thanks guys for your replies. I guess it is balanced the views here, and I can see all angles. The opportunity is there and with the right product in the app environment one can make millions if you get in at the right price.
As I said, this company looks really interesting and the concept of a passporting-type app is indeed the future. This awful covid has opened up another opportunity here so it's a share to watch closely.
Thanks again and let's hope we get news soon.
Good luck all.

This is correct. No one knows who they are. People are just making things up to make them seem like investors who are in the know. If you're in this share I'd get out now. Its going nowhere apart from down. There maybe be a tiny spike on the way but it will be followed by an even bigger drop.
@JSP123 were does it mention the Higgs have other interests in Blockchain ? I thought no one knew who they were.
Mr Spacetomato
I've been in CTEA a while and the key decision for you at the moment is whether the slowdown in updates from the company is a sign of big news or a sign of trouble. The tech is the right thing at the right time, however, the question is can they sell it to big enough institutions. I think there will be a move towards businesses using passporting-type apps to protect their workforce and if CTEA acts quick and aims high & wide, then they will be in prime position to be at the cusp in a change in all our working habits. Right now it is a bit of a punt. The next Trading update will give us some insight into their direction of travel. I'm in and staying in but DYOR.
JSP123,
Good afternoon to you and thank you for your time to reply to my query. Good to know a fellow investor is replying, great minds and all that :0).
Yes, I read the RNSs and too have added the weeks. To have an effective app to tackle the track and trace on time is a plus. To have someone with deep pockets investing here is also reassuring.
I have placed Tcea in my radar now to see what the share price and volume will do in the next few weeks and decide what to do.
In the time being I wish you really well in your investments and here too.
Take care JSP123.
Speak soon
ST
Mr Spacetomato. Nice to see you here. I have read your contributions on Avacta and SNG. I have done well on those - perhaps beginners luck. The RNS on here say the App is ready and the African connection seems like a try before you buy. The blockchain technology seems world class but my knowledge is limited so please don't take my word for it. CTEA is GDPR compliant so it all seems to add up to something with potential. A certain MR/S Higgs have invested heavily and their other interests are related to blockchain and therefore their investment is a better indicator than mine. I think once we get the first few clients this will go well. Not sure it will do an SNG but not many will. Good Luck if you decide to invest.I think the African contract was a 3 month trial and we are approx 5 weeks into that- check the RNS to confirm.
Hi all,
I am invested in covid pharmas at the moment but still have some free cash wanting a potential blockbuster share to buy. I thought to diversify my holdings and after some research I cam across ctea. I did like the CEO's interview posted a while back on this BB and it seems the company is not just a one trick pony.
The fluctuations on the share price here would be really interesting for a day trader, but hindered by the spread. However, the potential spike ctea would get should any good news break here is very enticing. Assuming the current African trials plan out to be good and another contract lands the returns could be substantial. It is risky but one has to take risks sometimes to make it big.
My question would be, how confident are the shareholders of imminent news here, seeing a good reliable app can be attractive to countries in need of a track and trace app?
Thanks in advance for any reply and good luck.
ST
PS: sure I do my own research and it is based on that that I invest, but it would be nice to have a general perception from the BB.
