Ventura, I too can put my socks on without sitting down. I just lie on the bed with a mirror.................

Hardly a massive increase..................lol

Quite a clutch of sells just popped up (on LSE, I don't have L2). If it is traders, good luck guys and girls and don't hurry back please :-)

Hello Shaun. I must admit that I am surprised to see you here and posting? I don't have a problem with it but I am puzzled if you have sold out?

Wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't feel a right ass at the moment...........

Butchers, 'his groping about in the dark'

There was plenty of light in that corridor. It was well illuminated groping and he may well have reached the bottom in terms of his behaviour.......................

You've got to HAND it to him. Whilst he has been ON the job, he's made a complete ASS of himself :-)

OK, I'll get my coat and show myself out.........................

I personally don't mind a bit of a distraction on a Friday (e.g. I did note where Handjob had one hand in those photos earlier :-) but I do understand that some people like to keep totally on topic.

John117, yes, a bit chalk and cheese those two! the upstart against the dignified statesman.

My other car couldn't be more different either. I love my comfy 4x4 Skoda Yeti and the only thing I will say in my defence before you all burst out laughing is that it does have the big engine! Embarrassed emoji.

Covidopportunist, in my view, that depends on whether you want a quick return or are prepared to wait for this to play out really.

As I said yesterday, I think the future is rosy but there will be a few drizzly days on the way. AIMO.

I can do slightly better than that Trek, I have a 987 Cayman (we are both getting a little old now but it still puts a grin on my face with that flat six boxer engine just behind your ears!).

I can also still get in and out of it with only six groans from a protesting back so what's not to like! ;-)

I don't think so. Judging by the year he finished his degree he would be about 47 now and the guy in the PI World video looks well into his 60's. I think he is just an experienced private investor like the other contributors to the show.

The point for me was his rational and common-sense explanation of why he thinks Novacyt is a great company with great prospects that is just out of favour with the market at the moment. He also puts the DHSC (the elephant in the room as he calls it) into perspective.

For me it was a balanced and unemotive analysis but at the end of the day, its all down to your own perspective and view. His view just happens to be similar to mine. GLA.

An absolute breath of fresh air and common sense from Charles Ford. The £12 target in 18 months time was explained very well and if you have not watched this interview, you should IMO.

Good luck all!

Yes, it is getting bit tense on here at the moment. We have a couple of people throwing their toys about as I write this.

I guess the big news is ShaunP leaving, and at the end of the day we all have to do what is right. I guess he just felt that he was too exposed at his time of life and he had obviously sold this heavily to family. I found his posts informative and helpful on the whole, and I'll miss them.

Does his decision make a difference to me personally? No.

I've posted my rationale before in regards to the prospects here and I think they are excellent. Some work to be done and the DHSC situation is a shame, but given that the lawyers and advisors will have been crawling all over that RNS, I see no reason not to believe the board when they say that £20m is their estimate of the cost. Shaun talking about the problem product being Promate has no factual basis as far as I can see.

I am looking forward to news of the LFT as well as various other bits of news but more importantly, what specifically will be done with the cash to build a diversified and sustainable diagnostics business. Good luck all!

Folks, we have no idea if that was a buy or a sell. Could just as easily be a short closing.

Good morning all.

Virtually no volume this morning after the frenetic activity over the past few days. I guess we are all waiting to see what will happen when the LFT test is announced (general consensus appears to be that Mandy's reply was indicative of this happening in the next few days).

Also good news that the DHSC liability is indicated to be sub £20m and that we have cash in the bank and a whole raft of news and potential.

My own personal belief is that we should see a gradual rise back up to where we should be over the next few months and that patience will be required, as in the meantime, there will be small swings as day-traders and shorts play out. This may not be helpful if you are sitting on a loss (as I am overall although I have averaged down several times in the 3's and 4's), particularly if you entered and/or topped up in double figures.

The question I keep asking myself is will this come right? And the answer is always yes! I could go on and list out specifically why but I (and many others) have done this in detail many times.

The main question however (which I will repeat), is 'Do I trust the management?'

The answer is absolutely! Some of the vitriol on here over the past few days and weeks about GM in particular has been nasty and uncalled for. I actually take my hat off to him and his team for what they have achieved over the past year or so, and the quality of some of the people added to the management team is stunning.

These newer people are no mugs and would not join something they did not believe was sustainable and scalable in non-Covid related markets, and I expect to see the cash pile used to achieve this.

I think the future is very bright and rosy but a few drizzly days on the way! Good luck all.

neilrich, its the one where we get the takeover bid for £54.00 Lol

And from me as well Nova. I was not aware of the 10% and 30% element either.

However, I don't think we have any shareholders anywhere near those thresholds anyway.

Totally agree Trotters. It's a complete old wives tale and not the case at all. A company can be sold for whatever amount the shareholders are prepared to vote for.

Riddler.............no-one cares.
