agree Mattyboy, every investor /trader has one of those and sadly its not one you ever forget !!

100NO we've mentioned that several times over the past several months, the opportunistic low bid, it is a concern

with the prospect of more expensive money, the market has started to take a look at high debt companies, whether we like it or not, microfocus is a high debt play at this moment in time, however the cash flow, as you mention is key

for a diversified analysis, i do use TA too, big believer. agree that hedgies can maaipulate, but anything can be manipulated where financial markets are concerned depends which side of the market you are on whilst its being manipulated ;)

the move down to £3.80 was H&S top, completed now, took us to oversold. good entry / add point !!

i'd like to see MCRO regain £5 in reasonably quick time, however depends on the market, which is looking a little fragile.

agree with you 100NO, i'm not here for £7 , i want to see the £15 - £20 in 18-24 months time.

to finish with a Buffetism, "be fearful when others are greedy, be greedy when others are fearful"

where do you think we are at this moment on that one :)

Correct !!

"the first victim of war, is truth !! "

well that should remove Innova and all the Chinese s**t from infesting the country again !!

lets see what happens

wake me up at £1 please !!!

wonder if the press can weasel out WHY the government have ordered more Chinese s**t, HMG know a day of reckoning is coming to find out why they ordered £3.4b of this useless crap to start with, so why order more rather than utilise UK capacity?

the optimist in me assumes ( dangerous i know ) that the further order for Chinese testing, bides us over for a short while longer, but the pessimist asks , why has it taken this long? ODX stated clearly they were on the way to 2m a week back in March, so capacity and stocks should have been built by now, so it can only be the test or tests... and the eggheads at PD have been at that for 7 months now

hence takes me back to my and everyone else question, what the hell is the delay with the UK test.

we don't want, as a nation, to rely on a test, and have to pay good money for it, from the country that released the pandemic on the world.

" Buy British, not S**tish "

sure there is a grand plan, however wether the grand plan benefites the UK public or a select few bank accopunts, who can tell?

the

didn't see that gkb

what value of Chinese s**t did he order?

Surely ODX have to have orders soon on this news, and i mean within days or a week.

if the idiot orders more chinese ****, he'll have to go !!

bigbangs

on a market and regulatory basis, my questions are rhetorical, i am well aware of what happened.

must admit i did not find answers to the questions of WHEN orders are perceived, if you know or have a view then by all means do advise, that is why i asked on here, not to be advised to "take the test" again.

trust this clarifies old fella

a genuine question to anyone who wishes to offer their thoughts ;
having looked at all interviews and read through reports over the past several days;

do we have any further clue as to when orders may be received to begin to fulfil the UK Gov contract ?
if not , do we have a clue as to when we are likely to finally receive information that will provide details as to when we are likely to receive orders from the UK Gov?

with regards the interview with CK?

i would have liked the interviewer to ask

1... what has been the delay?

2... do you believe you have mislead the markets?

3.. when can we finally expect to see orders from UK Gov to begin to fulfil the March 2021 contract?

may have made CK squirm a little more, but i would have liked answers to those questions, not , i suspect, that the NDA would have allowed.

what it means for BLU is , how many plates does old Derek have spinning?
how many directorships, chairman seats does he need?
and how does this affect time he can / should be spending on BLU ?

its also of concern that he seems to have a seat on the board or shareholdings in nearly all of BLU investee's, yes we are all aware of "owners eye", but there is also conflict of interest to consider.
LEAF, GUILD, NFT plus he has his own hedge fund , growthworks and no doubt a few hundred other "interests"

he seems to be doing ok lining his own pocket !!!
get on with the job of BLU CEO Derek so we can finally see some appreciation in the flat line share price.

about bloody time :)

sadly, although not the absolute fault of CK, its happened on his watch along with far too many other mistakes !!
all he is doing now is building growing resentment amongst a large proportion of the shareholder base.

we knew without orders it was an "emperor with no clothes" , and so it has turned out to be.

STILL no mention of when the orders will come, after we have been advised coming soon , in March.
Suppose it depends on what your definition of soon is, but mine is not soon enough.

the share price could be 20p by the time orders appear , does he really expect shareholders who were holding in April to pat him on the back when the share price doubles from 20p to 40p? Unlikely i would say !!!

it s a mess , the share price has been decimated, the company a fraction of its market capitalisation just 3 months ago, when Wallbrooke were shouting sh*t from the "rooftops" it;s a shambles and its happened on CK's watch...... time to step down CK, we are all aware you've sold no shares unlike the rest of the cronies at 95p, however you are well compensated to the tune of a couple of hundred thousand a Year and you should not be any longer.

its all getting a little silly. , more pressure on CEO Murdoch lower it goes.

he's not done too well in his tenure as CEO, still suspect they'll give him another Qtr or 2.

i added Friday, oversold now... and a £1 drop on results ahead of expectations.... yes its going to take a while for me to let that go !!

anyway, that aside, onward and upwards.

the ROCE and Yield moving forward are far too good to miss out on, its a blip and honestly not one i expected or enjoyed

lets see where we are in 6 months

good point Assagai72

look at link below for ODX questions and raise it for Tuesday

bigjock

fair play to you, no need to apologise, i just offered clarification.

i sincerely hope for orders very soon and i am looking for a price over £1 , though i fully realise this may take a little longer than i expected now, albeit not too much longer.

Orders will finally get us over that hurdle, however ONLY orders will. !!

there can me no more BS from either CK or Walbrooke, and personally i'd announce to the market on 13th a change of PR company with whatever else they are able to announce.

just my thoughts for what they are worth !!

BIgjock

i have absolutely no problem with you, just attempting to clarify really.

and don't forget i AM a shareholder, you can tell that by all of my posts, and of course i have stated value will out , it will.

i don't view my point of "firefighting at every turn" comical at all, i mean comical at how the situation and process and communication has been handled, just look at what the market is telling you about the stock and its price at present

i'm not attempting to be sarcastic with you at all, but if you do not realise that a 50% decline in share price is not an endorsement of the company , then financial markets are not for you my friend.

sadly you revert to type by now attempting to brand me with the people who merely slate this company to attempt to gain advantage. those of us that know markets realise that no individual on here will affect markets.

grow up with the incessant labelling of people who dare to offer a truthful opinion, and realise that markets are a culmination of different opinions at different times and in different situations, things move from bullish to bearish and back again very quickly, and if you can see and express both sides of the argument you are better positioned than purely being "rose tinted"

i trust you understand and take on board the points made.

doesn't matter what you think Bigjock, it matters what the market thinks.

the market has voted with a big fat thumbs down at present, , ODX is 50% down from a few months ago, CK we know is handcuffed with an NDA, however his company has been obliterated thus far and he now has an army of unhappy shareholders. He has problems !!

ODX management has not been impressive during this period , the PR has been a total disaster too.
i have absolutely no idea when orders will finally arrive, we suspect this month, but who knows anymore? however, far from going to £1.20 on orders , as we hoped back in May, ODX may well reach the dizzy highs of 75p on orders, which will be an increase of 50% to get to 75p. that's the way to think about it, a 50% rise will now only take you to 75p

i still have all my shares, as in the medium term , value will out. but it would seem CK and his PR motley crew have been behind the curve and firefighting at every turn.

lets see if orders arrive on or shortly after 13th (results day), i'd be trying for the former as if the tests are to arrive in July then maybe its time for the DHSC to throw old Colin a bone and allow him some relief from the inevitable anger on 13th if not.

understandable and reasonable risk management.

in fairness its been a monumental **** show, though mainly due to Government inaction and choices.

no orders before 13th and ODX bombs , simple as that.
CK is not particularly astute at financial statements, interviews, RNS statements etc as we have all witnessed over the past few months. and lets not get started on the PR.

hence the risk, without orders is to the downside.......... with orders, well it moves back to a more reasonable level, but it now has to DOUBLE to regain where it was trading only 3 months ago.
i've kept a small holding and will buy in again when orders are actually announced to the market, yes i'll pay more but i will then know orders have started.

the curse of Murdoch strikes again.

is it time for Rupert to step down?
