Yes I agree. 15 dollars a fair price to take some profits and I have 5 bagged on the ones I bought in March

No I accept global which is why I think this is the one to be in. No new cases in London in 24 hours today. Still needs lots of tests. I just think it’s going to be tough for this to break higher after the huge run upwards. Stocks get undervalued and over and I think this may need to fall a bit more

You can now sell if u want to

on HL anyway. 14.90 bid.

Still 230p to 270p by the end of next week. The directors buying was positive but I think the mkt is moving away from these testing companies for a while. There is a suspicion that the virus is not as dangerous in the summer. Tests will still be needed of course ...but I sense the market is now looking beyond this and thinking what next. A nurse told me today our local hospital is empty and they only have twenty Covid patients. Of course the care homes are still a big problem.

NCYT has been fantastic for me.....but nothing goes up for ever.

Speaking at a briefing in central London, Prof Henegan said: "I think you can already see that regions are reporting 48 hours without deaths, trusts are starting to do that.

"I think by the end of June we'll be looking at the data and finding it difficult to find people with this illness in the deaths if the current trends continue.

Well...MKS has been the biggest name on the High Street for my near 63 years. I remember when Green tried to take them over and I had a million worthless covered warrants on them that were due to expire a couple of days later. I did not sleep that night!

I am more positive though. I like MKS food and am a regular customer. Not so much for clothes although I do buy stuff in the Portsmouth discount store when I am there. My wife and I get 100 pounds every year in vouchers at xmas time....this is what we are allowed by hmrc. Your point about the staff is very true. Lots of the old small stores in small towns will go. Many already are. The store in Princess Street is big and airy and shows how the brand should look. My own view is that business rates is the biggest issue. Marks closed a food store last year that was booming with queues out the door. Why? Business rates were mad. As the director said..."we sell sandwiches here". I see a future for mks but not as an independent group. Maybe Amazon will buy them up for the brand and to develop the website. It would be small change for them. Then the job losses will start.

I bought some at 82.8. I have no idea where we will be tomorrow...but I feel I have to take the risk. That is cheap and I see plenty of upside and limited downside. If they put themselves up for sale.....there would be a mad rush at a pound. Still the best known on the High Street.

is 9 pence

back up to 14.50 tonight...although hit 15.00 today.

That they stagger on. How do they meet day to day costs? They have had loads of money over the years..,done the lot

Boy...I think you are the idiot that said this could not fall below around 400p a week ago. You ignore the reality. That the price has nearly halved in a short period of time. The number of shares traded is irrelevant. It is the net buys against sales that matters or vice versa. Your attempt to hold or ramp the price or my views are completely irrelevant...especially if another £20 million plus of stock is going to be dumped on the mkt. You are a typical King Canute ramper.

The rest of their 17 per cent that is

If ABN have decided to sell their 17 per cent plus at best this is headed down this week. Despite PI buys and anything else the market cannot absorb that much stock in a few trading days and hold the price. Just the way it is. A forced / determined seller is usually a good opportunity if you have the cash to add. So what will be the lows this week if they do dump? I thought 270p but maybe 250p or even 230p for a short while. If they want out then there is nothing to do...unless you have a spare 20 million £ to buy their stake.

The mkt is now trying to value NCYT to take into account the growing competition and the possibility that a drug will be developed. Ncyt was valued at about 4 million at the lows....because of the negative assets and losses. It went to well a third of a billion at the highs. We dont know what the net profit will be yet or whether orders are falling away now as others offer products. There is a fair possibility that the big money has been made on NCYT and the 440 plus levels will never be seen again. NCYT is no longer the only product around; the choice is massive.

Newbie I do hope you are only investing what you can afford to lose in these testing stocks? I hold them all but at zero cost after such a huge rally. I got in GDR at 51p and got more in the broker options at 80p. NCYT at 64p and 75p and so on. Many others are in a lot lower than that. The point is if you were late to the party and buying at the highs you need to be careful. Dont be taken in by the rampers who want you to buy so they can sell.

yes indeed Fiona. The mkt is now trying to value NCYT to take into account the growing competition and the possibility that a drug will be developed. Ncyt was valued at about 4 million at the lows....because of the negative assets and losses. We dont know what the net profit will be yet or whether orders are falling away now as others offer products. There is a fair possibility that the big money has been made on NCYT and the 440 plus levels will never be seen again. I am sure the company will make good money this year but will it invest it in other technology that will be too late to the mkt? NCYT is no longer the only product around; the choice is massive. I am open minded about all of this but then I have a free carry on this stock so cannot lose even if the price crashes. There are some newbies on here who think that cannot happen. We will only know with hindsight.

That is because a lot of the ramping pro's sold out of this at the £5 level and ran for the hills. Lets see next week....

260 to 270p on Monday if no rns.

You are suggesting that a tiny company with losses every year and negative assets should be worth up to half a billion pounds. Yet we do not know what the revenue is nor what the net profit is. Nova would have loved a share price of one pound just a few months ago. Always lost money....usually millions. Its market cap was less than most shell companies at its low. Very risky and very volatile. I hope new investors are not pouring their bank accounts in here thinking it is a sort of blue chip. Many did at up to £5....All these testing stocks.....only put in what you can afford to lose!

Yes indeed. Plus are the competition now ahead? Are the likes of Roche and Siemens hoovering up the market? Lots of good stuff in the rns yesterday but the danger is will it all be too late to market? As we head to summer months will the virus disappear.....as it seems to be doing in London? My guess is yes and then it will come back in Winter. But by November we may have drugs or other very effective tests from some of the big pharmas. A lot of questions and few answers. So for the moment the price is drifting.

Thats the key point Captain. Nova had the lead by some way.....but other companies with huge resources may be catching up. Or overtaking. Antibody tests seem to be the buzz now. I have one.....got to do it today. Picked out at random from NHS list. 5 organisations are doing them. Nova has been a fantastic stock and a huge winner from me.....but are orders now falling off as the Roche and Siemens tests get launched? We just dont know. Nova may issue an RNS to say no. If they do the price will recover.

270p. Been in this stock for a good while and that figure is about / below the 200 million mkt cap level. I remember that being a bear / bull fight level before.
