What a lot of garbage on here over the weekend and today. Loads of new posters talking out of their backsides. Loads of people panicking. Loads of traders in and out.

Thank God for the LTH's and ShaunP in particular! About the inly bit of sense on here at the moment.

If you have the whole of your savings in here, or even worse than that, you have borrowed, hen I can understand a certain amount of apprehension. I personally think you are a fool if that is the case but maybe time to learn what that feels like if things are not going as well as you would like for a short period of time.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense will realise that this company is as sound as anything I have ever seen in the past 20 years on AIM. For goodness sake it has £100 million in the bank as well as a load more to come, even if pure Covid related sales tail off.

So, chill out and wait for things to correct themselves over the next few weeks. Just remind yourselves how few shares there are in issue. 72 million. Go and compare that with a few other Biotechs that don't actually have any customers at the moment.

Sorry if I'm ranting or upsetting anyone but the naivety on this site at the moment is annoying me. That applies equally to the blatant rampers (multiple idiot posts in the early morning and you know who you are you are) to the suddenly appearing doom and gloom merchants.

GLA all genuine, level-headed investors.

aspers, are you the Policeman in 'ello, ello'? :-)

OK and thanks.

OK, I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry over the comments made on here today. I think a few of the long-standing LTH's have talked some sense, but other than that it has been a mix of ranting, stupid conjecture and misinterpretation of just about every line in the RNS at some point today.

Expectations had been ramped up over the past few weeks with figures as high as half a billion in turnover thrown around. All the way through, people like ShaunP continually cautioned against getting too carried away, but it carried on.

So what is going on?

I personally think its a combination of factors that have added up.

Expectations not met fully, despite the fact that the results are actually brilliant from almost a standing start.
Some profit taking maybe. I have a lot of these and nearly sold a few last week at 1190
Some more vaccine news (remember last time)
General market malaise (FTSE down considerably this week)
People generally forgetting that the need for testing is not going anywhere soon.

Combine that little lot and its not surprising that we have have a bit of a retrace.

One thing I am certain of is that things will settle down and that the SP will recover and go on to greater levels as product launches, contracts etc. are put into place over the coming weeks and months. More importantly, Novacyt has the money and the time to pivot away from the Covid bonus as I think people are forgetting that it is a diagnostics company and not a covid only affair.

So why don't we all stop calling each other names, ranting about the management and the RNS wording, speculating about dirty tricks, take a deep breath and all have a good weekend. It will be fine folks, it just requires a little patience and common sense.

Now where's that lemon? GLA :-)

Correct me if I'm wrong Porky, but I think you have the Broker figures in Pounds and the Novacyt ones in Euros.

Therefore we came a touch behind both broker estimates :-)

Walshberg. Just going back through your posts you are not a happy bunny it would seem.

I'd pop your feet up in front of the fire and do some deep breathing exercises if I were you. You're going to pop a blood vessel at this rate :-)

YUP. Totally agree and sold some other stuff to top up @930p

With the number of transactions and the relatively small size of the deals, loads of day traders and people taking a punt causing a great deal of froth imo.

The results were exactly as the brokers predicted and I am a very happy lth this morning. I posted a couple of weeks ago that people should calm down as some of the figures being thrown around were stupidly high and based on nothing but speculation. I think we should congratulate ShaunP as well because for those who are familiar with all his hard work, he was pretty much on the button as well.

We have had loads of guff on here this morning as well (and lots of people who don't know the difference between a pound and a euro). I personally am going to take a chill pill, and await developments in the medium and long term as well.

Finally, a great big well done to all at Novacyt. It's some achievement to do what you all have in the last 12 months and you deserve that being acknowledged. GLA

"I hold my hands up, I'm guilty of that on both counts, have invested virtually everything I have in here and are desperate for the sp to hit 30p at some point in the future."

Don't get me wrong as I would hate to see anyone take a bath over this, but I honestly wish that people would not throw the kitchen sink at one share. Its an incredibly risky approach in my opinion. I hope you get the chance to diversify.

Whilst all these warrants keep being exercised, the share price is fighting against the tide. It will be a great day when the last lot are cleared as still 24.7% of the total share capital to go. Every issue dilutes the share price.

Not de-ramping btw the way as have a substantial stake here, just pointing out the facts.

B2HS2L - No idea what point you are making I'm afraid. I just cut and pasted the comment form another post as a bit of fun :-)

"Primer Design is a world-class leader in the manufacturing of qPCR assays and, during the pandemic, had distributed millions of COVID19 tests globally to over 230 countries."

That's a good trick, The UN currently recognise 195.

"Countries in the World:
There are 195 countries in the world today. This total comprises 193 countries that are member states of the United Nations and 2 countries that are non-member observer states: the Holy See and the State of Palestine."

You could save time swabbing CS by using a small Christmas Tree and pulling it right the way through :-)

There's plenty of shares out there. Bought £2k worth this morning at 1.094 and another £5K in one hit just now for 1.088

Great post Jungla.

Now that's what I call knowing about your investment!

Hi MT. I Know you have been great at trying to inform people about the true situation here for a long time and I have joined you from time to time in trying to open people's eyes as to the suspect nature of this whole thing.

I have a peek in here occasionally from a curiosity viewpoint and always have a look at the share trades. We are talking micky mouse investments in and out so hopefully no-one will lose their shirt. In view of that, the old proverb applies. 'You can take a horse to water etc."

Keep smiling sir is my suggestion!

I agree with the sentiments being expressed by many Cabert about the tone of your post. I criticised people for not doing some basic research this morning but I tried to do it in a positive way.

Your post is full of anger and vitriol. Chill out :-)

I must admit that I raised my eyebrows this morning at some of the posts from people who are presumably invested in a share that they would appear to know nothing about.

Three month old news on that bid, people not realising that Microgen is part of the Novacyt group.

Perhaps people should spend a little time researching what they are putting their money into. At least follow the excellent work done by ShaunP. GLA

Hi Simonbed. The 52wk high is showing at 1270p so a little more than 19p to go :-)

Mick2.

That has made my day lol

Brent is my Christian name, w is the first letter of my Surname and I've got into the habit of using the 1 as Brentw has often gone when signing up for things.

But if it makes you happy, then who am I to worry about it :-)

Extrader, pretty much the first piece of sense talked on here this morning. Pretty damaging frankly and should have been avoided as it may prove terminal as you point out (with the FCA having to show it is on the ball with the last load of criticism on its failings as a regulatory body).

Watching with interest as my view is that this company has had nothing of substance since day one. Numerous RNS's, interviews and PR that no-one understands (if they are brutally honest with themselves). Couple that with the convoluted share transfers and transactions, and the bottom line is that no-one on the BOD has invested anything of substance in my opinion.

GLA but I will count up the number of replies that descend into the gutter with their language and fury because I dared to disagree with them :-)
