Member Info for Brentw1

I would go with 3, but then again would four be better? Now I'm confused! Or am I?

You are very welcome!

MMCQ Yes, maybe no, maybe not sure and yes, maybe no and not sure :-)

It's within the article itself. It was added later in an edit.

Well I've just added £4.5K. Not in Adam's league but all I had available

There you go Hector. The whole quote. More unjustified de-ramping and negativity. lol

"Nothing is really going to change until some positive news is finally forthcoming. The slow downward drift will continue for now.

This share has had so much bad news in a short time so it needs some positive news eventually."

"It's a pretty appalling article which will depress the share. Very little is substantiated but the fact that a national newspaper has chosen to run with it is pretty damaging.

If a product can't be used because the NHS don't know how or don't have the proper resources to make it work then there won't be much of a future."

Is this journo your mate? Did you feel obliged to repeat the doom, gloom and despondency? For goodness sake this is a tiny part of Novacyt's global business. Since when did Norfolk rank in the grand scheme of things compared to a tender result in Spain or the performance of the US distributor(s). Will we have a global cabbage shortage as a result!

Oriens, fair comment and no problem. I was referring to the myriad numbers of muppets during the course of yesterday who frankly ought to engage brain before putting keyboard into gear lol

Lactic, you really are not using enough exclamation marks in your well reasoned, balanced and informed post.

Were you reading the same board as me?

No problem with a discussion but "Argh its gone done" and "where is the RNS?" in the last ten minutes is not a discussion :-)

I give in sometimes! This 'news' story needs putting into perspective. It is about a tiny element of Novacyt's business at the moment, and whilst it would be great to have fantastic news all the time, life is not like that.

What has happened on this board all weekend and prior to the market opening this morning is typical of uninformed PI's throwing a wobbly, re-posting the article and screaming for an RNS. Why? If Nova had issued an RNS this morning, I'd be worried because it would mean they are in panic mode and there is some substance in the story. No RNS signals to me that they are not concerned and that this is actually not that important.

I'll tell you all one fact. I've not seen ShaunP having a hissy-fit this weekend. Now that would bother me!

If you are going to keep your shares, why do you keep posting negative comments that are likely to encourage people with a bit of a panic on to sell theirs? Either you have a hidden de-ramping agenda, or you are none too bright.

So earth, how does it feel to have caused massive offence to the vast majority of people on this board? Oh, sorry, I forgot. You don't give a toss.

Well earth 70000. It's clear you don't give a toss for anyone else but yourself. I hope no-one you love in your family dies because it sounds like you wouldn't bother turning up for the funeral. Have a nice day.

With the amount and size of the trades so far today the tick-up is surprising. Someone must have bought at least 28 shares :-)

Hi Wilson63. The last time I looked I was a 'he'.

And I can assure you, I'm extremely shallow and have what Lady Brentw1 refers to as a weird sense of humour. I also am far more interested in the progress of the contents of my cellar than I am in some of the shares in my portfolio at times and post far more on The Wine Society's board than I do on here (where I have the same user name because I am lazy). I do have a fair old wedge in Novacyt so do like to drop in reasonably frequently (although I do butt out and turn it all off when the silliness and the panic sets in). Incidently, I am less concerned about the future of this share than the whole of the rest of my portfolio added together and have put an additional £20K in over the past four trading days.

I'm very happy to help out new investors and people who ask sensible questions (I can't remember the number of times I have patiently explained why you can't rely on the buy and sell indications on LSE). What drives me mad and makes me very sarcastic at times is complete idiots that should not be allowed on a betting shop, let alone on the stock market. I respect ShaunP's opinion on here more than any other poster, but I would point out (only in my opinion of course) that there are several LTH's who also support the great work that he does.

So there you have it. I'm just an ordinary bloke with a passion for fine wine, a wicked sense of humour and at my age I am getting more and more intolerant of buffoons. I also have a sign that Lady Brentw1 hangs round my neck when she takes me out occasionally. It reads "Old and in the way". GLA

It also means that the world's politicians have little to fear, most of them could be classed as dead lifeless animals in my opinion.

It's as believable as a lot of the unresearched opinions and hopes expressed on here (with due acknowledgement of the dictionary definition spat earlier of course).

Well that's grim news for us all. Covid causes lifeless animal corpses to rise from the dead. So no need for testing, treatment or vaccines then.

Because it was old news as ShaunP has explained.
