Mac and Amanensia. You are both right. What’s more, it’s been a great day’s sailing. I almost feel as if I might need to buy a boat for myself when all this is over. I think it would need a motor though. Don’t think I could recruit a trireme of oarsmen for each outing!

“In the end each of us will decide whether to roll our sleeves up or not. and if so, when. It will depend on our individual risk /benefit analysis which will vary tremendously especially taking our ages into account.”

But it’s also a question of the “soft pressure” that may be brought to bear. For example, will you need to show a vaccination passport to be able to fly/watch a football match, or will equal weight be given to an antigen test passport? Million pound question.

Certainly, other index funds would also have needed exposure which they should have been buying for prior to 1st December when the new index came into effect. Not many are of the same stature as BlackRock however.

No, not a history test, but the current number of recommendations for Capt. Tilly, leader of the share chat board. Congrats Captain.

You beat me to it CZZR, BlackRock specialise in passively managed index funds. They had no choice but to buy in for all the funds tracking the MSCI small Cap Index. That’s why yesterday was such a big deal. Seems to be working out for GGP as well. Sadly not so much for AVCT.

Can’t you get into the coop and scare them a bit?

Have they put out a 2.9 themselves? The way I read the rules, both offered and offer or have to do so (unless it’s a cash offer.)

He was the one baiting everyone else about how his superior timing skills would enable him to make the better trade. Who said that “When it comes to timing, hindsight is a wonderful thing.”?

Indeed Moagli, I am also very interested to hear back. I have two parents aged 83 (living independently.) This is the first time in their 61 years of marriage that they have argued as vehemently about anything. My dad wants to be first in the queue for the vaccine whereas my mum is petrified of it. Some facts would be very useful.

I was just going to ask what the hens’ take on it was. Now we need an update from our resident teabag thrower....

Hahaha I bet not! Ouch!!!

Double Lamb Bhuna and garlic naans all round?

Isn’t this the argument put forward by ODX...that roll-out of vaccine will need to be accompanied by antibody testing?

Of course, there are those who, like my daughter, has a letter from the NHS confirming that she tested positive for Covid last month. But which test and how reliable?

So people who have actually had the virus are being encouraged to have the vaccine anyway on the basis that we don’t know how long immunity lasts. Whereas we can confidently state that immunity provided by the Pfizer vaccine lasts......how long exactly?

Sorry, just seen it’s from Citigroup. Where and when did it appear?

Hi Onassis, are these your own thoughts or reproduced from another source?

So again it hinges on PCR technology (and false positives.)

Looks like the U.K. vulnerable and elderly will be Pfizer’s guinea pigs. Of course, if any of them sadly die not long after getting the jab, the medics will suddenly remember that Covid is not the only cause of death and we can expect numerous ‘underlying conditions’ to make a return appearance on death certificates. (Sorry for the cynicism.)

I’m convinced that Avacta would have had a test on the market already if they hadn’t been part of any Government programme. I suspect we have only seen the tip of the iceberg regarding PHE/Test&Trace/gov incompetence. Next clever trick will be to invite the vulnerable to get their jabs for what is - to all intents and purposes- a nosocomial virus....in hospitals.

I suspect that the higher volume of institutional investors owning Avct since its MSCI promotion yesterday will also stabilise the SP. Those guys are way less emotional than the rest of the herd!
