Steve i'm absolutely with you and topped up this morning on the dip to make boohoo my largest holding. If results are as good as I expect then I will slice this time next week but I think we could be in for an exciting rise. The months between March and May were a difficult time for a number of reasons... supply chain issues due to lockdowns and a general dark cloud over society due to the pandemic- not the climate in which to go clothes shopping ... and STILL we saw a huge rise in revenue.

I think these next set of figures could be astronomical.

Dave the sp won't necessarily drift and drift and drift and drift without news. There'll likely be a point where it will bounce off even without news. Any further falls and we might find more IIs loading up on the cheap for example.

Hear, hear CW! I'm strangely comforted by this 'challenging' period. Being relatively new to AIM the overwhelming positivity and sureness of the board a month or so ago didn't sit well with me. Could we really be the only ones with our eyes open whilst the rest of the proles fiddled around with the ftse100/ftse250???
Now we're once again being shown why AIM can be such a difficult water to navigate and I for one and happy to go along for the ride...

Oopsie daisy! It did seem extremely premature this morning. Oh well I hope you aren't too gutted falkland...

If you're able to rummage down the back of the sofa then I think this could be the best buy around right now. Even if just for a quick buck, buying now at 322p could well see you exiting at the end of next week (after results and a day's consolidation) around the 400p mark...

Really?! I'd have considered it if we ended the week 150+ not a few percent up!

Let me apologise, I'm not sure why I'm defending the motley fool today. I just think we should be able to handle negative posts/articles and be willing to discuss the risks as well as the opportunities. Long and strong and still confident we'll get some good news to bring the sp back in line with where it was a month ago. GLA.

I'm not suggesting that the article was rich in research or insight but as I said at the time, the motley fool's target audience is newbie investors looking for long term holds. It's prudent to warn them off what might seem 'get rich quick' schemes and without doubt investing in synairgen at £2 requires a much higher risk tolerance than their usual 'tips' such as Aviva, national express, GSK etc etc.
I just didn't think it was helpful to completely disregard the articles and write them off as some sort of conspiracy.

A month or so ago everyone blew up at the negative Motley Fool articles, calling them shorters, a cabal etc etc one of the articles simply described what's happening right now... it said that there is a lot of work and a massive uphill struggle for synairgen to get this to market and so the sp could fall considerably before reaching new highs.
With the benefit of hindsight was that really as bonkers/foolish as everyone made out at the time???

Not interested in conspiracy theories or excuses.

Wider market is down so considering it's okay. Today's rns is certainly confirmation that this will come good...

What's frustrating is I imagine there's hundreds of people who are **** scared of getting covid that would very much like to be part of our trial if they were to know about it. I explained it to my aged parents last night and their fears both seemed alleviated on the chance of receiving inhaled interferon beta upon getting ill... of course they might get the placebo but still at 50/50 it gave them some comfort.

Seb I'm sorry to sound so dismissive but if you're going to repeat and repeat that the virus 'might or might not be weakening then simply it's not worth engaging with you'. You're right, maybe it's weakening, maybe it's not. But there's absolutely no evidence that it's weakening. So why don't we focus on what we do know rather than speculating and ruminating on the unknowns?

I think people fail to understand why the scientific advisors are concerned and instead simplify it to 'am I likely to die? No'.
If social distancing was eased up, if restrictions were lifted, covid 19 would almost certainly rip through the entire nation pretty quickly. Yes the vast majority would survive and still a large majority would either be asymptomatic or only mildly ill. But we would also see hospitalisations far exceed the number of beds/oxygen/ventilators available and the nhs would be forced to turn away sick people and leave them to die... in their thousands. The number one priority is to not allow that to happen whilst doing a better job this time around of allowing the rest of the (seriously underfunded and under resourced already) health service to run as normal...

I think that's ridiculous personally. There is no question that hospitalisations and deaths are going to rise considerably over the next few months, none at all. There are those that will still think it's worth opening up as the harm caused through mass unemployment could be greater, there will be those that don't believe the striking figures from the advisors such as 50k potential deaths this winter. But nobody besides conspiracy theorists question whether we'll see rising deaths in the very near future and there is no way big pharma is 'waiting to see' what the pandemic has in store for us first!!!

Personally think it will be higher than that however...

Yeah I think £110m is a good profit estimate to pencil in.

Seb, from what I can tell the scientists and top experts are not divided, they overwhelmingly believe in stiffer measures to tackle the growing covid numbers... there are scientists and experts with differing opinions and different approaches but if they are in the vast minority then I think saying they are divided as a whole is a bit misleading... Many of the contrarian scientists will have ulterior motives - challenging mainstream scientific consensus makes you stand out and gives you a larger voice and bigger profile.
Now if you were to say society is divided on how we should go about tackling the crisis, then that I'd agree with.

What we almost certainly know is that the US IIs aren't selling up. They have to report at every 5% threshold and with Venrock and Tikvah at 6.1% and 5.4% respectively it wouldn't take much selling to fall below the 5% threshold and initiate a holding rns. What we don't know is whether or not they are still stake building as it would take a lot of buying to reach 10%...

I think it's worth noting CS that not everyone is a LTH. Since you've stuck your beak in novacyt has risen near on 100% and therefore many investors will have made a small fortune as long as they ignored your scare mongering.
