It is really quite worrying when you read about mortgage payments, life savings and posts from people where its fairly obvious that there is not a lot of spare money.

Tell me to mind my own business by all means but please remember that many shares on the AIM market are a gamble and please, please do not invest (in anything) more than you can afford to lose.

It is worrying that many of the investors in shares (not just NOVA this morning but all over the place) have little or no understanding of the financial reports and management accounts that are released and how to interpret them.

As quite a few people have pointed out this morning, there is little new news in this RNS, it is simply confirmation of the earlier trading statement, but it does contain many reassuring points on the investment that the business has made in continuing to make the most of COVID related opportunities (inventory, recruitment etc.) as well as in areas unrelated so that growth can continue (M & A, research, collaborations etc.).

As to the comment about being 'disappointed there is only £19m in cash', did you bother to read further than the headlines to the increase in inventory of £15m? (and a load of other clues as to where investment has been made for both the short and longer terms). Sitting on too much cash is poor management, it needs to work!

Anyway, rant over. I'm a happy bunny this morning as this company has a clear strategy for sustaining growth and has used the (relatively) short opportunity presented by COVID to turn into something substantial with a future. GLA but for some of you, please read a book on interpreting accounts!

Just some food for thought folks.

SYME has 32,000 million shares in issue (according to LSE) with a current market cap at £160m.

Several people on here this morning have deemed 16p per share as a 'good starting point'.

Get a (very wide) calculator and work out what the company would be worth at 16p a share and then go and research and look at the market caps of some of the largest companies in the world.

Then ask yourself if you truly understand the numbers that you are throwing around and whether you are being realistic :-)

Trade, you hold Hemo shares................does that not give you a nice warm feeling? ;-)

Well said Aberdeenman.............. its pretty obvious that this is going places, it just requires a little patience. Frankly if you look at where we were a few days ago it could be argued that we have just pulled into the motorway services for a spot of socially distanced lunch before continuing upwards

This is just the normal slight drift on no news. There have been 62 trades at the time of writing this (the delayed cheapo version of LSE because I don't pay for L2) and that is tiny. Ignore the daily share price and remember what we are all invested in :-)

That's the beauty of Hemo! It could be an RNS about four or five different block-busters.........................

Itsallagame...........do you think it was manufactured by the Chinese Military at the same time that the Yanks were filming the moon landing at Pinewood?

I think that on the whole it shows a solid core of LTH's who are unlikely to be panicked by daily fluctuations, who have done their homework and who really believe in the company. When the herd arrive (and they will one day) lots of shares unavailable which should be fun!

Hemo have multiple potential winners and whilst nothing is certain in this world, for me, a pretty de-risked investment at the moment.

Anyway, what a refreshing group of people with a positive attitude and I feel honoured to be one of them!

This should be interesting in terms of the replies as I get savaged, but I don't really mind as I made a lot of money out of this share when I bought in at the beginning of the frenzy and sold out with just a very nice profit some time ago. I have been in and out a couple of times on a bit of a day trader basis and keep an eye on that basis.

I have lots of concerns over this share and it's so called investments by the BOD. I am still struggling to work out how share transfers between different investment vehicles can be construed as 'skin in the game'.

There is also little of substance in nay of the updates, RNS's, interviews and other bits of PR that come out. In my opinion its all promises of something of substance tomorrow.......................maybe, maybe not but a memorandum of understanding is not a contract and never will be.

I also dislike intensely the way that an aggressive group of rampers attack and pour scorn on anyone who dares to question their viewpoint, producing the most fanciful projections and economic forecasts that I have ever seen.

So why have I posted? Because I would simply advise a great deal of caution, particularly if you have money invested that you really don't want to lose. It's not enough to say do your own research on this one unless you truly understand incredibly complex financial instruments, and believe you me, some of the best advisors are scratching their heads with this one, and in some cases are reduced to copying SYME's own diagrams on how it works. Doing your own research does on include taking too much (if any) notice of the people on here (and that probably includes me!).

My own view is that this is fraught with danger for the inexperienced and that having had a successful dabble in the early days, I will not be touching it with the proverbial barge pole. I personally fear a slow-motion train crash on this one but GLA as it is never nice to see people get burnt when they don't know what they are doing (now watch the daggers come out which will probably prove a few of my points!).

Just interested Spurs as to why the majority of your last 30 day posts are negative, derisory and insulting to others on the boards that you post on? You seem to take a delight in being rude to others.

Anybody know why just now? (google btw)

You have to remember that Punit was talking about top slicing yesterday @ 87p so presumably he/she would like it to dip............... ;-)

But I think we all know what you meant!

Bless you Crober, that post could mean that the price is not worth thinking about as it could be 3p................... :-)

I'm sorry.....................but I can't take this post seriously..............it didn't have "wait til the Yanks wake up" in it. :-)

It's a bit disconcerting that people know so little about the company that they would even suggest £20 to £30, but there you go :-)

One of my favourite posts from another board "Not selling until the price reaches ninety-two hundred eleven pounds!"

(or words to that effect from someone's little boy).

A fairly determined rattle, looks like its creeping back a bit
