Ken dont know if this article will answer your intriguing question
The US dollar flash crash on March 18, 2015 received almost no media attention, though, likely because it occurred outside normal market hoursand thus mostly affected active and institutional traders, not retail investors.

Have picked IAG 100k for average 2.1578 for day trade today seeing big drop when ftse was down stable at 1.3%. Sell order in for 220p. Depends on US markets now. Wait and watch.
Ken hope you had a great day yesterday sunshine, KAZ deep green, monroe singing
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a EUA for Thermo Fisher’s diagnostic test that can be used immediately by CLIA high-complexity laboratories in the US to detect the nucleic acid.
The company expects to ramp up to reach two million tests a week, and scale production up to five million per week, based on the availability of raw materials and an installed instrument base.
Thermo Fisher plans to initially distribute the available tests to about 200 labs in the US.
Note- Gentlemen just putting facts out there with link. Please DYOR

Some facts please as major players have their own kits. Link to thermofischer given below.
In response to the current coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19) outbreak, Thermo Fisher Scientific has worked rapidly to develop a new multiplex real-time RT-PCR diagnostic kit to enable clinical and public health laboratories to quickly diagnose COVID-19 caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. On March 21, 2020, the Applied Biosystems TaqPath COVID-19 CE-IVD RT-PCR Kit was approved for in vitrodiagnostic use throughout Europe*. The TaqPath COVID-19 CE-IVD RT-PCR Kit contains both the assays, controls, and master mix required for the real-time PCR detection of RNA from the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
The TaqPath COVID-19 CE-IVD RT-PCR Kit contains:
TaqPath COVID-19 RT-PCR Kit, 1000 reactionsTaqPath COVID-19 ControlTaqPath COVID-19 Control Dilution Buffer; and TaqPath 1-Step Multiplex Master Mix (No ROX)
The kit can be used by clinical and public health laboratories to quickly evaluate up to 94 patient specimens in under 2 hours.

CAML I picked up for short term after the excess drop after divi cancellation. Because of low volume when you want to sell small batches needed. If it drops to 120 to 125p again I will load up as I dont see further downside to it and only up after that.
There are some stocks I keep an eye on and when there is sudden unexplained drop I pick it for short term play for a 3 to 5% ride up in addition to DT.

If housebuilders are going to start opening I will be buying Ferguson plc which has tendency to rise like Kaz. No stamp duty.
Central Asia Metals Ltd’s (CAML) first sustainability report highlighted just how far the base metal producer is going to improve safety, reduce its environmental impact and stand out from the rest of AIM-listed mining crowd.
CAML has long been recognised as the most generous dividend payer on the AIM Mining stage, in London, and, COVID-19 impacts aside, it looks like retaining this reputation into the future.

Ken after your good summary of CAML I had bought 70k worth CAML at 128 on 1/4 during the drop and sold 9/4 136p for a 6% profit. Low volumes and spread wide. Need to sell covertly 10k worth from time to time to get a good quote. Buy limit orders 10k dont get filled at all unless at market price and same selling. Looks like it is range bound for now. Will pick up if it drops.
Had buy order for KAZ at 400p (sorry Ken), FERG at 5200p. Did not get filled. NCYT buy order even in 20k 5 tranches Market makers did not fill at 350p even though it went to 344p. Well there is always 2morow. When busy at work some days can't monitor prices and just leave my very low limit buys first thing before open.
Billy markets will probably drop another 15 to 20% next qrtr but feel it will be range bound now..
Divi in pocket Kaz moving up....what more Ken

Ken a good early morning read with your coffee

Brent crude oil prices will average $33.04 per barrel in 2020 and $45.62 per barrel in 2021 according to the most recent forecast from the US Energy Information Administration's (EIA) monthly Short-Term Energy Outlook. This is a decrease from an average of $64.36 per barrel in 2019 and reflects a downward revision of $3.58 per barrel for 2020 compared to the previous estimate.

Hear...hear. concur with Dunn compliments. To your good health and happiness Ken.
Nice board with your troop of Billy, Sage, Fira, George, Day, Scoop, Craig - let's call them the "Magnificent Seven"
Even if it drops ex divi it is already compensated by the good move up today and you have money in your account.
Have my eye on KAZ and CAML also if they drop in any market correction -sorry Ken I know you want them to move up only :;
If markets are green tommorow the 6p divi of KAZ will not be erased in SP value. Otherwise also holding its ground is Kaz and Kaz King Ken :) Looks like you bet may pay off in the long run Ken compared to Glen
Recall when SCT issued special dividend in addition to the regular with total around 25p the share price just went up in November even after ex divi the next few days and had sold the day after.
One needs to check daily testing around the world to see reality. Production capacity is good but the way the poor testing in UK, France,India etc continues it is surprise for repeat large sales at the moment at 10 to 20 million tests before results end April.
Large sales figure from USA to private hospital labs may be key along with confirmation of volume of WHO buy in (they used 5 companies for order). I had noted in past before WHO approved either Roche or NYCT they had sent millions of PCR kits from china and s.korea to India, Philippines and indonesia etc.
Sometimes when price of a share runs ahead of valuation or results with guidance it will drop. Long term if there is definite need for PCR tests without any new antigen tests serious competition , SP of Nova will rise. Those who believe and are patient hold on.
However if one assumes £80 million in sales to end April in best case scenario does it justify the market cap. Pullback to realistic levels will happen. Casino punters will sadly lose buying at £5, £4 levels if they dont have cushion to sit on patiently.
Antibody test from Nova again may be a big plus even though it will not be accurate as world wants easy tests to open economy.
DAILY TESTING NUMBERS. In right hand in countries blue link delete all countries and put one country at a time and check to know reality of testing levels.

Ken I feel in 2 years time you will be laughing with you pot of millions When market recovers and KAZ hits new highs. Each to his own way of investment.
I have great respect for you as you are honest with losses which one rarely finds on such BB.
Billy well done with 6.7k and be happy when you get out with profit. Dont regret if it goes up. It could go the other way also.
Similarly need rule to sell at 1 or 2% loss if trading strictly. You win then.

Was in from 66p and I traded enough in Feb and March selling Mondays and buying Thursdays. Sold all at 210 levels ( equivalent to about 300p with trades).
Will buy if no RNS like in Feb/ March brings it to 275 level. Loss risk lower at that level. If it does not no issues as there are other stocks.

China is unhappy (sic) with India’s new foreign investment rules.
They set off the virus (hope world hold CCP responsible for the CCP virus) and now are buying heavily in falling markets to take over important companies, ports etc.

Govt rejection of the fecker Branson standing first in the queue with begging bowl to bail out his virgin empire without paying a pence of tax.
Apparently mortgaing his Necker Island the greedy fecker.
"Branson is facing mounting criticism for seeking financial assistance from the taxpayer, rather than using his own fortune to rescue the airline. Many pointed out that the entrepreneur has paid the exchequer no personal income tax since moving to the tax-free British Virgin Islands 14 years ago."
If Virgin goes under big Gain for IAG then.
