I think Pork's has a decimal point in the wrong place. He has a bit of history in that department as well as confusion at times over things like the difference between an expression of interest and a tender.

However, I personally think he is well meaning GLA

I think most people understand that the indication of whether a trade is a buy or a sell is not accurate but just in case any new investors are watching the red and blue figures, an explanation. The system does not know whether the trade was a buy or a sell, all it knows is that a trade took place. It simply compares the price to the bid and ask figures and uses a simple algorithm to choose. Occasionally, the price is exactly in the middle of the spread which confuses it and we get the grey 'unknown' designation. I personally (usually with bed and ISA trades) have had many incorrect designations on my trades when I have had a look out of interest.

I know I'm teaching the vast majority of you to suck eggs but occasionally we get a post where someone is obviously not aware of this.

I also don't believe the sea of red on LSE trades either. With the massive spread they are probably buys.

You can almost see the struggle to keep this down on Google. I would not be surprised to see the shorts reducing quite quickly in the next few days.

Or am I just a big old cuddly cynic lol

Do you know crl123, I was having a great day until you re-appeared on the board with your depressing rants about people that have nothing to do with this company.

Intentional or not, you are single-handedly one of the biggest de-rampers on this forum, constantly pouring cold water on this share.

Morning Levincoolpal. Probably very difficult to answer that as it is a framework agreement.

I'm pretty sure most people understand how they work but all it means is that we are on a list of four that can be chosen from by whoever is making the purchasing decision at the time. It makes the field reps really important because their job is to get folks to chose us. Given that we appear to have a very large field force, it does bode well in my opinion.

Thank you Troublesome. I was in footy mode whilst writing and wish to apologise to the whole forum for leading them up the garden path with my appalling lack of knowledge of the town names in Lancashire.

I shall consult my charts before writing anything else today :-)

E-AL - You are raising false hopes with your chart prediction.

You know full well that the indicators that you have highlighted only work on a Tuesday in a Leap Year, whilst standing on one leg at a bus stop in Accrington Stanley and whistling the theme tune from 'Apocalypse Now'.

I have it on good authority that it also helps to wear a donkey jacket and your wellies on the wrong feet :-).

"I'm convinced now that Crabtree is a programmed pumper bot that sends an auto message as soon as the share price rises more than 5% in a 10 minute window!"

HarChris, if I'm not mistaken a 'programmed pumper bot' can be found on the expensive shelf at the back of any Ann Summers store.

Yes Sniffy, I've just made tea.

So Crabtree, what percentage of the total company MC is £100K then? Hardly TR1 territory. Just be patient folks GLA

Hi Shaun, that Pelican site is hilarious. Methinks this load of bollux is going to end up as egg all over BA's face! lol

I see that VanVsNephew has got the four other deramping R soles in his boiler room to like his post lol

Yogibearz..........lololololololololol

See the original post on this thread and ponder as to where you fit in it.

Anyway, all in my opinion and my money is where my mouth is! GLA

I truly believe that the time has come to sit on hands and almost ignore the share price games at the moment.

This morning is typical and will have tripped out any nervous and inexperienced PI's, and, in my opinion is all to do with the short positions.

The other factor at the moment is the obvious and blatant posting of scaremongering rumour, total fiction and doubt-setting drivel that is designed to create nervousness and panic.

It you want re-assuring, look simply at the facts. Even if every last drop of bloody DHSC business disappears (and how likely is that!), this is a company that is seriously undervalued, has huge cash reserves and a gold-standard portfolio of products and services (and with more in an ever expanding pipeline). Read the posts from people like ShaunP, Kaeran, VanV and a few others if you want an objective and realistic opinion of where this is going.

If you are after a quick buck, go day-trade shares like ARGO and SYME (but be prepared to lose your shirt as well!). If you want a sensible investment, pop a few bob in here and shut the drawer. All in my opinion and my money is where my mouth is. GLA and chill :-)

It is also not a simple Covid company. Yes it has had a bonanza out of the pandemic but it has nearly 600 tests for other diseases. In five years time, this will be GM's mid-cap Global diagnostic company and probably will not be on this excuse of an exchange.

Mac, if you are looking at the LSE trades info, we have no idea if it was a buy or a sell. The system does not know and simply uses an algorithm to place an arbitrary label on the trade.

All my transfers into ISA's this year showed up as sells when of course I know they were buys.

Porks, we have not submitted a tender. This is just an expression of interest, basically 'send us the application form please'.

Had a few minutes so did a rudimentary amount of research on the above.

It would appear that a Covid test administered by a heath care professional for medical diagnostic purposes is fairly clearly vat exempt.

This view seems to be confirmed by the somewhat evasive answers given by the Government advice line below

https://community.hmrc.gov.uk/forums/customerforums/vat/515ab10a-75bc-ea11-bf21-00155d977196

That would seem to indicate that the DHSC invoices for supply of tests is exempt.

A grey area is where the test is self-administered (could not get a definitive answer on that in my ten minutes work) and it seems pretty certain that a test for the purposes of travel would be liable for VAT.

All in my opinion as I am not an expert in this area by any means. GLA
