The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
@SimonSkint, the price at 1.86p was only because it's a sell. This is mainly due to the margin between buy and sell. One couldn't buy at this price. If you see the next price is at 2p (even though a small amount of 300 shares-could just be testing the price). Hopefully price will reach the previous high of 2.45p (and more) soon. I am in from 1.30p, holding for long. GL. DYOR.
I am a long term holder of UKOG and it's not a happy scene to see the current level of share prices. I wonder if they could explore, invest in EV battery manufacturing; while continuing to explore whatever oil they can get out of ground. Otherwise with the gloomy picture of demand for Oil on a longer term it would be difficult to see improvement in profitability / stock price.
Thanks Mathew125. The risk with best market order is that if there is a wide price movement you just don't know what price the broker (II) buys at. It happened to me on TILS (couple of months ago), placed the best market order assuming it will be close the price they displayed. Order didn't get actioned for a while and when the price was going very high I tried to cancel, but there wasn't an option to cancel and it got bought at much higher price. I haven't used the option of Kill or Fill, maybe this is the ideal one when there is high volatility.
Thanks Lucky Luciano. I was keeping eye on the price movement and normally if it's US market 95% of the time the order gets through if it goes below your buy price (separate broker). I was with HSBC earlier and opened ISA with II mainly due to the difficulty with HSBC (you have to phone them if you ever want to cancel the order, nice bunch of people but need to hold for a while). Sometimes when the market moves so quickly you need the option to cancel the order yourself.
I placed an order at 9am today for 9.21p as limit order on Interactive Investors, noticed that the share went to 9p several times but my order was shown as pending. I cancelled the order few minutes ago and immediately placed a market price order, II was offering the share at 9.15p, upon confirming the order the trade went through. Does anyone know how is that order never got accepted whole day until I cancelled and only got through upon accepting the market order which was even lower than my normal limit order.
Some of you may have already seen this, apologies in case it's already circulated. Interesting article on Novacyt. http://www.pmlive.com/pharma_news/novacyt_launches_diagnostic_test_to_differentiate_between_covid-19_and_flu_1347432
@Whisp3rs, Great site; thank you very much. I have been searching for a site like this for so long. Very helpful and all the best with your investments.
Thank you Snazzy-Bouquet. I did try London Stock exchange, they also show the trades with a delay of 15 min. Yahoo Finance shows the live prices as trades take place but it only applies to stocks traded on NYSE and Nasdaq; UK trades would still be behind by 15 min. Google finance used to show volumes/prices as the trades take place but changed it to only for prices, this was about 2 years ago.
Does anyone know where to find the live prices and volumes as the transactions take place. Google finance does provide actual sold prices as the trades takes place but without volumes and most of the website will only show 15 or 20 min delayed information.
@NMC shareholders, you may want to sign the petition if not signed yet. This petition itself may not help get the money but more publicity the better. Sad to see so many investors losing their life savings.
@Daver, it's usually automatic into your existing account. I have received a notification from my broker as well. GL

Thanks Rastuss. Good to know that Butti boys accounts are also frozen. It's just that we only hear about Mr. Shetty all the time but no reporting about Butti's. They need to be brought into the limelight as well. The authorities should be able to track the money from UAE as to where it went. Normally when you invest it's understood that you are taking risk and value can go up or down. But in the case of NMC, it's not the business that's gone bad but theft. So many innocent and even highly experienced investors appear to be stuck in a limbo. I am not saying all have lost the money at this time, bearing in mind the business is sound and if smart Financial Managers get in there could still be a chance to re-list the stock. I don't think administrators are going to be of any help. They are already looking at selling the assets, first attempt should be track the money down, sell the assets of these directors to make up for the loss as much as possible.
@Eaglebev, that's great to know your ISA is in profit now. Your Avacta must be close to a million £ now, well done. Be watchful of wifee though...they can be very excited when you make money but worst when the stocks/value goes down!! GL
I am an investor on NMC, only invested large amount after the Ex-FBI person was hired by NMC to investigate which showed genuine interrest by NMC, in addition to being part of the FTSE. It appears it was all a cover. I have been reading most of the comments in recent months. Looks like all the focus is on Mr. Shetty, what about the other directors Butty's; they must be holding large assets in UAE/Globally. Their assets, bank accounts need to be frozen as well until the investigation is over. NMC is a business continues to operate and could do well in the healthcare industry. It's only the fraud that has led to the current situation. The attempt should be to investigate all ex-directors, freeze their assets. That could go some way to recover major part of the debts and for NMC to get back on its feet. Welcome comments.
Castlepaul, thank you for the info. Very useful to know from users.
Thanks asher7, I will look at interactive investor. I have been looking at alternative for sometime now and feedback on II seems to be good. GL
@sparster, thanks for sharing your experience. I too usually only place an order if I am sure to avoid going back to them. But there are times when you want to change on shares like TILS based on latest information. I guess you feel a bit safe with HSBC hence been with them for long time.
I am new to this board and appreciate all the informative and positive comments. GLA
Interesting information Asher7, hope you got your order through as the price just went between 85p to 95p. Which platform/broker do you use? I use HSBC and it's a nightmare in case I want to change the order., only way you can change is by phoning them. Its much easier if you are able to change the order depending on price movement.
Thanks Manabouttown, Robertjt; that makes sense.
@SherlockBones, it's showing down pre-market US. Might pick up once buyers read the latest update.
Does anyone know how Nasdaq is showing $4.45 at close of yesterday? This is equal to about £3.62; is this a completely different set up?
