We would love to hear your thoughts about our site and services, please take our survey here.
I tend to sit quietly on the sidelines as much as possible as do not claim to have inside scoops but P100 has been rather incessant with his drivel of late. For any new to investing or this board the fact that France was down 16% today does not indicate UK market likely to see a fall tomorrow. French market was up 40%+ on Monday when Uk on holiday so today was just about getting both markets aligned again. P100 is clearly a deramper and/or shorter who either gets paid peanuts by others to scare others into selling or who is betting on the share price going down so doing all they can to negatively influence new and inexperienced investors using this board. When logged in you have an option to use "filters", by adding P100 to your filters you can be spared from seeing any more of his drivel. I have taken the rare step for me of filtering them and recommend most s\ne people on this board to do likewise.
Good to hear you are still around. The initial rise was one of my favourite investing times and these boards were awash with positive sentiment and stories. No more than Dylan and his bonuses, treehouses and conservative estimates ;)
Jakey you may get lucky but chances are if it opens at a price north of £1.50 like you would expect after action in France today no trade will go through. There is the remotest of chances there is a flood of people wishing to cash in that suppresses it first thing and there is a morning dip but 120 very unlikely.
I don't think sales are going to be materially different due to 2 or 3 weeks of hopeful frantic selling, I hope the big impact is on H1 2022 so no big need for updated guidance. It is frustrating not knowing what the stock levels were like at the beginning of the month. Did we still have £20m+ of stock which has given us the flexibility to cash in at the moment, unfortunately I doubt it. I think most of that stock will be past its sell by date and we would over only had a few million stock in reserve so not fully in position (like everyone else) to fully capitalise on immediate upswing. Speed of Omicron spreading is likely to have caught everyone by surprise. Last guidance was we would be under 100m due to new government accreditation of tests so I'm thinking we may just get back to 100m, anything over will be a bonus. Big bonus is more optimistic outlook for H1 2022 in my opinion.
I really find it hard to understand all the omicron is nothing comments. We just don't know and it takes time to find out, you cannot rush it even if you want to. It was discovered 24th November in s.a. and 27th in UK. For each variant it has been two weeks on average from first infections to first hospitalisation and two further weeks until deaths start stacking up. We have not known about omicron for 4 weeks globally yet let alone in the UK.
The numbers of omicron cases and deaths quoted are only a small fraction of what is actually happening as not all pcr test is fully sequenced either so we do not have accurate total numbers of each variant. That is why omicron is becoming dominant variant but we are only getting 11000 cases of omicron but getting 90000 cases every day.
Christmas could be back on in the BRod household. Finally some old faces back on the board, longer term holders than Porky et al, but welcome all. Can now envisage rising rest of year on sentiment. I was lucky to top slice around £8 so only had my covid term profits invested here over this challenging year and had cashed in all other investments to pay the bills, lucky did not have to cash in these shares last month but it came close. Car in garage with over a £1k bill so needing to cash in some soonish but paying by credit card so hopefully if this keeps going rise from here can pay for that bill. Fingers crossed.
Murzy,
Are these the animals you are talking about???

I do not recall that happening much with others wearing white on their travels.
No need for comments like that on this board.
150???? With only 70m shares they would have more money in the bank than the market cap! There are about 70 other reasons why I do not see that happening but do some further research on fundamentals, read the 2020 Annual Report or recent RNSs, and then let me know how you are pulling numbers like 150 out of the air please.
Cheers all
It was quite a big jump, thought CCO buying would have triggered something yesterday but shares actually ended up down from RNS to close yesterday I think. Not complaining and long may it continue. Main rise seemed to occur from 1pm when webinar was. Anybody tune in and hear any interesting news?
I'm currently taking place on the day release trial gov is doing as in contact with a covid patient, have to take PCR at start and finish and daily LFT and can keep going to work, shops etc but not casual leisure activities. My LFTs are marked Xiamen as well.
My fathers day did not start with breakfast in bed but waiting in a long queue of card as the Plymouth pcr testing centre opened this morning. She had taken an lft yesterday that has come back positive after complaining of hay fever like symptoms. Missed the first bbq of the season and going by the queues I'm worried about what this summer is going to look like. Taken 3 people to testing centres never seen it this busy. Be careful everyone this bloody virus is far from beaten. I thought we had it sorted here and it was just about keeping it totally suppressed and helping row but the numbers are shooting up again.
I truely believe that when audited 2020 figures are announced and something of a more detailed forward looking statement is produced the negative sentiment will subside and this will rerate massively. I'd admit to probably accepting a t/o at £12 given where we are now but no chance I would be selling any of my shares at a loss as I still believe that the future is bright for Novacyt and it will generate significant revenues of min £70-£100m post covid due to R&D and acquisitions made possible by its Covod warchest. Yes normal t/os may give 30% premiums but these are not normal times and Novacyt not your normal company.
