They are all waiting for actual News .. and not speculation ..
‘He waits… That’s what he does… And I’ll tell you what; tick followed tock followed tick followed tock followed tick’ As we see the images of the sea, we glimpse a horse’s hoof here and there, then four small surfers heading towards a fifty-foot
wave and a thumping, pounding drumbeat starts to grow on the soundtrack. The surfers, gasping and exhilarated, turn and jump on their boards just as the monumental wave hits them and drives them on. We see snapshots of wild stallions’ eyes and flexing ‘Ahab says “I don’t care who you are, here’s to your dream”. The old sailors return to the bar.’
‘ “Here’s to you, Avacta” and the phat drummer hit the beat with all his heart’
Meanwhile, the surfers are mingling with the horses. One falls and disappears, his board flying off behind the wave. Then another falls and the third manages to enter the tube before being engulfed. Now only our friend from the opening shot is left surfing and
enters the wave. There’s a great shot through the tube of his perfect negotiation of it and then it’s over. He is left riding high on top of the water after the wave break, arms held high in triumph. The film pauses on that frame for a second and the pounding soundtrack suddenly stops. Then there is a celebration, with the victors running from the surf with their boards held high, then his friends wrestling him to the ground, pausing for a second on his face. Then they run back to the water cheering and shouting and the film pauses again on the image of our hero’s face in profile, with an expression of total ecstatic joy, all played silently, except for the final commentary;
‘Here’s to waiting…’
The ad ends with a shot of a pint of Guinness settling in close-up, which suddenly enlarges for a moment, then returns to initial size, accompanied by the pumping drums and the tagline ‘Good thing come to those who…’

Heres to Thursday
I would like to board to have subject folders so that it was easier to navigate certain topics; There are too many posts that are personal. If the board was organised, subject led. IDK, maybe a folder for newbies, what Avacta's history is to date, what products are available, what are the size of the markets, what are the competitors doing, predictions.. It was just a suggestion. At the moment it is just a mixed bag. I would like the facility to order the posts in each folder by the number of likes .. this would remove a lot of crap and save a lot of time. The platform is old fashioned, clunky and reminds me of the original Friends Reunited, website back in the early 2000s but without any the friendly, kind, nice to see you chat.. Currently, it's rude, abusive, and vitriolic and hostile.
Have a nice day :-)
Yorkshire people are often stereotyped as friendly but "bloody-minded", stubborn (also known as "Yorkshire-stubborn") and argumentative… Indeed, admirable qualities to have, but not necessarily the based strategic strategy if you want to make serious money and a world-class brand.
I suspect that the real reason why is are here with the world’s best performing LFT, but with no orders to show is that AS is Yorkshire through and through. I suspect that he did not negotiate well on price. i.e. he would not budge. Whilst that might be deemed as admirable quality to have, on reflection, NOT show-casing your world class LFT product to the world is shooting yourself in the foot …
I am desperate for information on orders .. and I am sooo disappointed that we are kept in the dark and fed ****e.
I thought it was the Greeks that gave democracy?? or was it Bankruptcy? I get confused.
I am getting really excited. What is the limiting factor for LFT production? Is it the AffiDX® active agent? The strips holding the active agent? Or is it the plastic holders holding the strips? How difficult is it for a manufacturer to change the active agent to AffiDX® SARS-CoV-2? How much of the LFT market could Avacta grab? How long will the market be there for? I assume it is a transient market, but if other variants pop up, which everybody is expecting, then I guess this market could play out for 2-5 years? Market share, long term branding etc. will enhance Avacta's name and future sales, but from what I have read and understood, the magic active agent is sitting in the background whilst the manufacturers and marketers will take all the glory/kudos money etc. with Avacta taking a small % of the profit.
If it is found that money (backhanders/bribes) was being paid to secure contracts, what is the chance that HanC88K would be fined? or jailed? Would those who were wronged be compensated?
I put the kitchen sink into this investment! .. and some .. I put it all on black 13 .. Fingers crossed ..
I don't have a crystal ball or a chart. I don't make predictions. But for selfish reasons, I sincerely hope the SP stays low for the next two weeks so that I can get my inheritance in before it will go up .. massively on the run-up to 30th Sep and to infinity and beyond .. maybe to £5 and £10 if the news on cancer drug is +ve. It is getting exciting.
Would the NHS Trust not share the tender information with other NHS Trusts confidentially amongst themselves? If not, then the Government procurement process is crap...
Thanks Ndn71,
that makes some sense. So out of the 100+ suppliers, how many are UK based? and sorry to be a pain, but what is the price differential between the remaining UK suppliers?
What about the price comparison of the 100+ tests. Where does Avacta come in against the others? Pls. answer the question rather than insult.
BTW/ PR24. I am still in.. I have a paper loss (£50+K) I have not realised since I have not yet sold my shares. This has been a painful exercise for me as I have not done my AIM investing before. I was not expecting such a white knuckle ride. I did not want the SP to rise just yet as I am still waiting for some inheritance money to come through. I don't think that is such a crime to warrant the unnecessary abuse, but I will be very happy to get back to my average purchase price of £2.33
This looks great. I know Avacta's test is the best performance test on the market. But does anybody know the price differential between the 100+ suppliers? How does the Avacta test compare on price? Cheapest? mid-range or the most expensive? Some buyers are motivated by price and not performance. If Government have approved these tests, will any one of these tests do? I assume, that most NHS buyers would just go to the cheapest? Also, Avacta would need to be in a position to meet the demand. I assume they have the manufacturing capability to cope. I would love it we can get the SP up to £5 by the end of the month. I would be skipping round and round the room.
Could somebody explain to me how a typical license deal works? Would Avacta take a % of profit, % or turn over, or a fixed fee? who pays for further development? Are the license payments upfront or at financial year-end, or both? Typically how long do they last? when will the license run out? 10 or 20 years? When it runs out? What is stop the licensing company from going alone? Or do they have to renegotiate a new license deal? What will stop other companies from copying the technology? I am thinking of Chinese companies. More importantly, how much will the whole thing be woth to Avacta? Is the license exclusive, or could other companies come in and use the same technology? Sorry, for asking??
PS Blackcat 63, Are you a fellow makem?
I don't think so .. who is Makem?
No novice Investor .. I did a degree in Biochemistry at Leeds 1982 to 1985, long before Avacta was even born. But I understand and recognise AND I REALLY BELIEVE that this company will be massive... but more likely to be taken over.
I hope it remains a UK company, but selling globally..
I am down £50K; against an average of £2.33 and this paper loss is really hurting me.
I am confident in the IP, the management and the long LFT market. Avacta LFT is the best on the market and I am confident it will sell in huge numbers .. so much so that I just bought some more £2K .. If I had more than £2K to invest.. then I would.
If the antibody level declines in people by 50% over 6-10 weeks, then we will have to mass vaccinate again. However, if these people catch Covid and the population buildup an immunity .. herd immunity? which is what I think is the hidden agenda of HMG, so that they don't have to revaccinate. IMHO, this is real reason why they are opening up .. and relaxing the rules so that people will be infected. It's part of the plan. The absolutely great news is that hospitalisations are now decreasing... FANTASTIC I cant see Covid testing being a big thing. The Chinese tests are crap and you might as well **** the wind.. The Government missed a great opportunity by blanking the AVacta's test. It would have saved a serious slice of money, lives and even lowered the curve of infection. I hope this tale of missed opportunities gets told and not lost in the 'fog of war' of words.
I hope they are VERY accurate .. because it might be very difficult and expensive to get the backup from a foreign hospital or the doctors onboard may/may not have the ventilators, PPP etc. The cost of the test is immaterial. The cost of catching it and/or passing it on is significantly more expensive.
I understand that it is illegal to shout FIRE FIRE FIRE in a theatre for that very reason. Although unethical, my guess is that it is not illegal to spread lies and unwarranted fear messages onto these shareholder platforms?? But it should be.
Is this not competition? Surely, we don't have the world exclusive rights to affirmer technology? Or do we? Please can somebody confirm?
