Some worrying sentiment on here over the past few days as people seem to be getting disheartened. The trades on the trading page just now are enlightening. Lost of small sells for a few hours and then, low and behold a 20,000 share purchase as an large order filled?

Although I am a relative newcomer to this market and even without the insights from Level 2, I can see games being played. 'Tree shaking' (I believe it is called) to trip stop losses, huge spreads from time to time to disguise sells from buys etc.

The more small investors who panic/get bored/the grass is greener, the more games will be played. The volumes being traded here cannot greatly affect the share price, that is being manipulated.

Market sentiment will move this when it becomes more widely recognised and gains more publicity in mainstream media. At the moment the only people who understand this company are professionals, some of the people on this board (and similar) and a few relatively unknown share advice sites. Go and ask 1000 random people in the street what they think about Novacyt as an investment opportunity and my guess is that 99.9% of them will say 'Who?'

I have put £20K into this which I know will be a huge amount to some, and b*gg*r all to others. The point is that I could afford to lose it and wouldn't half be pee'd off, but I'm happy to let it sit and wait. After all, you haven't lost a bean until you sell!

So where am I going with this?
1. That often wheeled out quote from Buffet about investing being the transfer of funds from the impatient to the patient.......chill guys! (and can't be bothered to look up the exact quote)
2. By all means have a punt but don't gamble more than you can afford, and spread the risk
3. Look at the fundamentals of the investment, is it a real company with sales and no debt?
4. AIM is a dirty, devious market with loads of sharks
5. 60% of comment and opinion and share boards (including mine!) is total, unfounded spherical objects

This is now my biggest punt in the portfolio. Just got another £4K's worth. Now time to log off and come back in a week!

Mojo, .......................... I was being unfair about that so apologies.

Well said JHFH. The lack of understanding about the company, the way the market works and the watching the share price live is worrying.

Log off, chill out and check back weekly is my advice (assuming you are a LTSH). If you are a day trader, good luck trying to outwit the MM's at the moment for more than pennies.

As for the poster who flipped for £30 worth of shares this morning..................words fail me!

JJ. It was a genuine question based on your range of emotions and opinions over the past couple of weeks. Maybe it could have been worded better (for which I apologise) but it is a shame that you felt the need to imply a threat.

I've had a look at your posts over the past couple of days and wondered why you are invested here? If you are not happy, why don't you sell and go somewhere else?

And seconded.......................................

Oh for goodness sake, talk about uninformed speculation and ramping................

There are some incredibly miserable people on here who have either shorted or I feel would be much happier on Bet365 watching and betting on a Filipino non-league footy match at 3 am with a bottle of cheap vodka.

Your view of the RNS depends on whether you are in this for a quick greedy killing or a medium to long-term opportunity with excellent growth prospects. I'm for the latter so think this shows excellent and sustainable progress.

I also think that people should be banned from posting late at night when the IQ has been reduced due to alcoholic intake. Some people must read their posts the following morning and cringe with embarrassment.

MM's keeping it down whilst their shorter mates bail out? Or am I being naive...........

Hi In-long, my suspicions are that STTsbumbag is thoroughly enjoying winding you up and the fact that you are reacting is fuelling the fun for him/her.

Personally, I don't care what other people on this board write as it is not clear what their motives are most of the time.

Trust your own judgement and research and for what it is worth, my own personal golden rules,

1. Don't invest more than you can afford to lose in highly speculative AIM shares
2. Spread the risk and don't become too exposed to one opportunity
3. Most Aim shares go nowhere and sometimes sink without trace
4. Occasionally we get a winner so happy days (but don't spend it before you have sold out!)
5. Don't sit watching a screen all day, life is too short frankly

Only friendly advice btw!

Just appeared on the BBC news feed this morning.

Mumbai, one of India's biggest coronavirus hotspots, has become the country's first city to open up testing to everyone.

Until now, complex rules have meant that testing was mostly restricted to those who have symptoms or are high-risk, and required a doctor's prescription.

But Mumbai - which has some 86,500 confirmed cases - has done away with that. It's also allowing all labs, including private ones, to do the test. The government has already fixed prices.

The move comes as India ramps up testing - case numbers have already surged in recent weeks as a result.

It now has more than 740,000 confirmed cases, the world's third largest tally.

This could get worse than the cheese puns last week if we are not all grown up, sensible and on topic. Then again some smartie pants will probably launch off about minting it on MARS as their pubs open their bars again......................

I prefer the 'Boom!' format personally....................I find the capital O's disconcerting (it's like someone staring at me with puppy-dog eyes!).

Mohammed11, it was a joke from earlier on today when someone pretended to know about an announcement.

Doubled my holding off the back of that RNS and interview. Not sure why this has been bumping along at a bargain price today. The only negative that I can see amongst the mass of good news and potential was the withdrawal of the guidance going forward..........a sensible move I would of thought (but what do I know!).

I agree with a previous comment that the mainstream news picking up on this success story will probably help.

I'm not into predictions of future SP's but am personally confident that this will do well over the next couple of years. Btw, I'm a shareholder, not a trader but each to his own (just my opinion and DYOR is my motto!).

11 single posts on 11 different bb's.....................what's his game folks?

It's most common when a link does not work.
