So you could...
A) Buy in now with 100% of what you have to invest
B) Invest some now and some later
C) Wait and try to time your entry point
Strong arguments could be made for A & B. Not so much for C. You're never going to get in at the cheapest price and out at the peak, particularly if you don't actually have any material reason to think that a dip is coming soon, followed by the peak you then want.
If you believe AVCT will go significantly higher from here, then get on board. Arguably, your mistake so far has been "watching for a while and waiting", so don't continue to make the same mistake.
Up to you though. Do your own thing... ;)
Or even sooner... intraday RNS this afternoon? Must be something driving a 9% rise in the space of 40mins..?
I disagree. I think the SP will move significantly on this for two reasons:
1. Confidence / FOMO: This RNS will reassure the doubters and shows that big news is coming soon.
2. Scale: Tall of “millions” of tests per month, combined with the confidence of a manufacturing partner being in place.
Maybe not THE big jump up, but it will have an effect. We’ll see very shortly, and I’m not selling anyway. :)
Why is everyone so confident of a gap up tomorrow morning?
Genuine question from a new investor - an RNS has to be released as soon as possible, right? Companies aren’t allowed to sit on them and wait to release to the market at the time of their choosing? If that’s true, can the government overrule that and force them to wait?
I don’t actually think that is happening here (personally I just think they’re not ready yet), but asking out of interest.
I see.
I only recently learnt about RSI. How much significance do people usually give to it? I guess, like most indicators, it's worth considering but needs to be viewed alongside many other factors?
So we're almost bang in the middle (50) of overbought (70) and oversold (30). How does that suggest an imminent price increase?
What do we think... is something in particular driving this? Or are we just returning to the 5.8 - 5.9 range from Friday following yesterday's dip?
Is it just me, or does anyone else see a potential misunderstanding, possibly due to language barrier, in this reporting:
“ Sky News asked Luo Baishan, a researcher at Sinovac, whether he thought the vaccine would be successful.
"Yes, yes. It must be successful… 99% [sure]," he replied.”
Sky are reporting that as the company being “99% sure it will work”. (The [sure] being added by Sky News)
But the phrasing “it must be successful” seems strange to me.
It sounds more like a statement about how the vaccine would need to (“must”) work on 99 out of 100 people, rather than a statement of 99% confidence that it will work at all.
Not directly relevant to where they are or aren’t trialling it of course! And I may be talking nonsense... :)
Hope the employee who accidentally leaked the press launch on twitter didn’t get in trouble! I wonder if they persuaded Piers Morgan to have a test... :)
Thanks all - that’s much clearer!
Apologies for the newbie question, but could anyone explain how a “dual listing” would work? And what it would mean for current investors? I’ve seen it mentioned a few times, but as a new investor, am a bit confused about exactly what it means and the implications.
I get the impression most people here are in until the results, so is there much point stressing about the sp in the meantime?
I’m in at 69p and planning to hold until late June at least, or whenever there is substantial change due to trial results. Sure, it’s a bit frustrating that I could have bought in lower if I’d waited a few days, but it’s so rare to buy at the lowest possible price that it’s not worth worrying about.
I don’t think I can risk topping up anymore, so might as well sit back and wait for now.
I think it's always worth thinking about whether you would buy in today.
For instance, you invest £1k in a stock that doubles in price, so you have a £2k holding. Rather than simply thinking "do I want to sell now?" or "should I take my £1k profit out", think "would I invest £2k today at this price?".
If the answer is yes, then you should probably hold. And perhaps even consider buying in further.
If the answer is no, you might want to think about selling.
Of course, how you make that judgement is the tricky part! But it's well worth thinking about what you hold today, rather than basing your thinking on past profits or missed opportunities, which you can't change.
I put a fill or kill order in at 60p this morning, hoping to get in asap tomorrow... now just hoping I haven't missed the boat too badly!
