We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
Anyone buying at these prices, will imo, have an opportunity to make money.
Wether it’s a ‘fake’ rise back to 3.00 - 3.25p area based on hot air or a real multibag windfall due to positive news flow,
Irrespective of personal timeframes, this really is a no brainer at these prices if you want to make money imo.
This is a strong buy with prices down here, 2.00 - 2.30p imo.
I appreciate holders being upset with the placing, but it has presented a great opportunity to those sitting on the fence, and a good opportunity for existing holders to average down imo.
The company is clearly growing, and this will continue to grow at pace imo. In the last 5 weeks the company has started to work with 18 pharmacies (confident this number will grow significantly) and a major U.K. mobile operator.
Is the major U.K. mobile operator using CTEA for testing their employees or are they connected to CTEA because of the Tech ? (The RNS does not give a definitive answer)
Do not underestimate how important and the value it adds to the company being awarded ISO 27001 & Cyber Essentials accreditation. ....... this will unlock doors.
Contracts, decent contracts, will soon follow imo.
I am of the opinion this will multibag from here in the next 2- 6 months. Double / treble your money within 6 months imo.
Buy, sell, remain sitting on the fence ........ your choice, but I bought back in today !
Thank you smorty.
It is no secret I am of the opinion Saga cruises will resume travel ahead of many others expectations / timeframes.
I was trying to establish whether Spirit of Discovery has been recently moved to Tilbury docks in readiness for preparation prior to upcoming travel.
Thank you ..........
Unless I am being particularly stupid the last blog / information posted in regards to Spirit of Adventure was blogged on May 21st last year.
Have I missed something ? ........ I am hoping smorty post was referring to some very recent news flow ?
Good morning smorty, your post very interesting this morning. May I ask where you have seen / read the info. Thank you in advance
‘Spirit of Discovery has joined her sister ship Spirit of Adventure in Tilbury Docks, where she is being prepared for her April cruise around the British Isles‘
I have voiced my opinion the past few weeks in regards to the resumption of Cruising, and I am of the opinion even if it takes a little longer for the industry in general to be given the all clear I believe certain operators, following strict new protocol may soon be able to resume cruising.
Saga would be one of those operators imo having been awarded first industry-leading COVID health accreditation back in November.
We are witnessing this in Italy with sailing by operator MSC Cruises resuming next week, on January 24.
The latest ministerial decree from the Italian government authorised the resumption of cruises under the protection of health and safety protocols developed with and authorised by the Italian health, transport and safety authorities last summer.
The decree and “related updated health measures” will enable the line’s flagship to resume cruises.
Saga have been accredited with ‘related updated health measures’, the industry will be applying pressure on the U.K. government imo.
I would not be surprised if Saga were able to resume cruises much earlier than some expect.
It’s coming .........
The latest Saga Travel Brochures would have been received in the post by members this week. The 2021 / 2022 cruises brochure is advertising trips departing April 2021. There is a section in the brochure listing protocol which Saga state ‘ The following will be in place on our cruises sailing in April and May 2021, and we continue to review our Covid-19 protocols to ensure we provide a safe environment for our guests and crew on all cruises sailing throughout the year’.
- Covid 19 testing before boarding
- Reduced guest capacity to 800 guests per ship
- Social distancing on board
- Face coverings in public areas
- All restaurants now full waiter service
- Enhanced cleaning
- Double medical team on board
- Air conditioning reconfigured to circulate 100% fresh air
I appreciate the cruise industry is waiting for government to remove the current restrictions, but as I have said previously, with Saga receiving Shield Accreditation to certify that they are operating safely maybe some operators may get the ‘go ahead’ to recommence cruising before others. Sounds promising imo
I have had my eye on Saga for some time. I missed the 100% recent increase which happened when the first vaccine approval news hit the headlines. But I do not intend to miss the next 100% increase. Although I do not expect the SP to double ‘overnight’ with a little research into the past few years and Saga accounts will indicate, even to a novice, there is a very good likelihood short term ( within the next 12 months) the SP should be trading significantly higher, at least 100% higher than the close of play price today imo. The company recently turned down an offer of £5.00 per share which was offered at a time the company was not having its best trading performance. Over £100 million recently invested in the firm strengthens the books, and adds value to that £5.00 per share which was offered. Covid is the only, i repeat only, reason the shares are currently so cheap imo. If you think the world is going to end and Covid / The Government will kill all businesses then I would suggest not investing. If you believe there will be brighter skies ahead I believe you won’t go far wrong sticking some money in here and seeing how much you make in the next 12 months !
Imo currently trading this share is not the most sensible approach. The CLIA have written to government for a clear timeline to when Cruising may resume from U.K. waters. Back in July they managed through negotiations with government to remove the ban on all cruising allowing river cruises to resume. It has been muted that a go ahead to resume cruising may be formally announced in January, but with strict protocol which would have to be adhered to. One condition was for cruise linings to cover all cost of repatriating a passenger should they fall ill / die while’st on board. Saga have agreed to this condition. Saga have also recently been awarded first industry-leading COVID health accreditation. I am of the opinion there may well be a removal of the ban for operators who conform to a set of new conditions which will allow them to resume cruising, of which I believe Saga will be one of these operators. The SP will in time increase from these levels anyway imo. If there is an announcement such as I suggest there may well be with regards to cruising then I would expect the SP to gain a minimum of 50% on the following days opening. This is one very good reason why I believe trading Saga shares for small 5% - 10% gains is a real realistic risk to missing out the much bigger rise. I am firmly sitting on my hands, even though my average is a fair bit higher than today’s closing price this is one share I an not too concerned about. The rise will come imo !
There has been no material news from the company to justify the rise the past few trading sessions. In fact, quite the opposite, the company has dangled many carrots the past few RNS’s and to date still not delivered the news flow it promised. It is no secret, and to be transparent, I was a huge advocate of Dish and the potential until the past few RNS’s, the last one resulting in me selling my entire holding. Some will therefore spout that I am deramping ......... Newbie’s be warned the recent rise and numerous new posters arriving is an obvious concerted pump & dump ! No substance from the company to warrant the rise. SP will soon drop back and the new kids on the block will disappear off to the next share imo.
They do ;-) ......... This is not the company / share to place a £65k and £30k punt on good news imo.
I am very much of the opinion we will hear positive news imminently.
This should lead to a very significant rise in the companies MCap / SP .....
Only you can decide grinchy. You must try not to be swayed by others.
We should all take a fresh look at our investments periodically. News flow can paint a picture, sometimes more positive than when we originally bought in, and sometimes companies / a share takes a different route and doesn’t pan out how we would have liked.
Also good to remind ourselves there are plenty of other options out there. Although it is hard to turn your back on a share, especially when it will realise a lose.
I find it is good practice to look at our holdings and ask a simple question ......... with what we know today would we buy the share.
Holding on and ‘hoping’ all will work out should not be an option.
I am not deramping and have admitted to selling my entire holding on the morning of the last RNS. My intention is to now keep a close eye on Dish and if, and only if, the USD 5 million investment is made and the terms look promising I may re-invest. If the investment for whatever reason doesn’t happen then I fear for the worst for this company.
My thought process is quite clear. If the investment happens and the term are good the SP could rose significantly, quite possibly 4 fold or so ...... 4.5p +
I would rather re-invest at a higher price, say 2p, and remove the risk of losing all my money as this had now unfortunately become a high risk gamble ......... and I don’t thinks the odds are even as good as 50/50.
Something does seem to be going on in the background though for the SP not to have completely crashed on the last RNS. This however doesn’t mean it will be good for PI’s.
It will be very interesting to see how this unfolds
I have been a big advocate of Bigdish the past few years but did not like the mornings RNS, not one bit. It raised nothing but alarm bells for me.
As a result I decided to sell my entire holding, at a relatively large loss. Time will tell if that was the correct decision or not.
I will keep a close eye on events but no longer wished to hold with so many new unknowns.
Good afternoon Spero, Bigdish have only recently received an investment of £540’000 from an investment company.
Some of the funds were to be used to increase the Tech team to expedite the build of the SaaS model.
The company therefore will not have ceased to operate.
Agree though that an update via RNS should be forth coming in regards the app and delivery side of the business
I agree. I believe the SP has been way oversold and expect a significant increase in time.
We have received a letter of intent for an Investment of 5 million USD. Under normal trading conditions that kind of news would often see a share price increase significantly.
We have been successful this year in adding restaurant numbers. Jan-Early March the SP tripled as the restaurant numbers started to gain momentum.
Then along came Covid-19 and lockdowns .... and. Imo the reason our SP is so low.
Reduce the worry / severity of Covid-19 (Vaccine - Better Mass Testing) and I see no logical reason why the SP won’t recover back to previous levels ..... 4.5p earlier this year.
Bear in mind the company is in the process of transforming itself and no value has been added to the SP to date.
When this re-rates it will increase very quickly imo ...... and I fully expect it to.
Why lol paulobento ? .......
Do you just throw money into a share and hope for the best not taking into account present and ever changing news flow that can change the direction of the SP / Companies potential.
If so you are one of those cross your fingers and hope kind of investors. Maybe one that believed the 10p by end of the week posts last week ........
Maybe one that thought I was a deramper by clearly stating my belief the SP would retrace back to 2.2p area, even though I was explaining my reasoning for having such a belief.
We have learned only yesterday the U.K. government is expected to announce today 6 further LFT products which they approve. ..... I am of the opinion there is a strong possibility CTEA / BHA test will be amongst the 6.
We didn’t have this information a week ago and therefore Innova was the only companies product the Government was backing.
If we are amongst the additional Government approved testing products then I am of the opinion there is a strong likelihood a contact will follow.
We also only learnt yesterday the Government are extending the mass testing trail to numerous other areas.
Previously with just Liverpool having the trial the Innova product could comfortably keep up with demand. With the huge extension of areas about to partake in the mass testing programme. I am not convinced Innova will be the only companies product now involved.
It may be coincidence but both announced yesterday leads me to believe the possibility that the 6 LFT products announced potentially today will be involved in the mass testing programme which is being extended.
Could therefore result in a government contract
Stegood, have you read all my posts the past week or so.
Successful investing is as much about not becoming emotionally attached to a share and having the presence of mind to change change based on current news / potential .......... I am not say8ngi am successful and I certainly don’t call it right all the time ;-)
Already two FTSE100 customers for the BHA test ........ indicating the product works.
