yesterday, when you all decided AVACTA was on the tender, you were all full of the joys of spring....Investing means exactly that and coping with the ups and downs.
The specification has clearly changed because thats what the UK govt wants for its testing programme. Changes take time, especially if you want to get it right. I work in software development, this happens to us all of the time and people expect a bug free working model in 24 hours after a major change. As with AVACTA, we have to do testing in house and real world testing...the difference is theirs is much more complex.
You keep talking about missing deadlines...deadlines are only dealines if the the product you are working on stays the same. Clearly, short term share price is all you're bothered about. You should pack it in with the 'Alastair Smith has missed deadlines', 'AS has sold shares becaues he knew the SP would go down' - grow up, take responsibility for your decision instead of whining.
You invested here for short or long term. This is AIM, the wild west of investing, learn to live with the ups and downs. if you are that concerned, drop Alastair Smith an email. He'll answer, he's a busy guy but I'm sure you'll get a response rather than spouting crap on here. Alastair Smith, I'm sure, has a lot more going on than we know about and is trying to keep all sides happy...Keep up the good work!
If you think AVACTA is a bad investment - sell and b*gger off, go an infect another BB - maybe we can detect you coming back with Affimers!

Jesus, I can see why people are leaving here for twitter.

maybe "basher" could be replaced by "shorter"...just sayin'

until its RNS'd it aint true, to be fair.

Has it occurred to anyone that this is just tailored for govt use in their mass testing?
Everyone wants a money stream, well it's been adopted to do just that. It will be used by medical professionals and will be highly accurate, unlike the Chinese crap used currently.
Saliva tests have lots of complications and if your main customers preference is a nasal swab, you're not going to say no...unless you want commercial suicide.

...oh, forgot to mention. why don't we compare it with the Russian Sputnik V vaccine. Since the west announced their so called results, Sputnik V vaccine is also 95% effective.....All heresay, no realworld results....and no REAL numbers for ability to actually distribute. There are so many 'MAY's , how anyone can actually believe anything is beyond me.
I may win the lottery this week also....

Clearly the Nasal Swab is a governement preference...There are lots here criticising the fact that AVACTA have morphed the saliva test. Well, if they hadn't they probably wouldn't be getting any orders would they?
The fact that the test is a little more complicated means that this is probably for medical professional use, which - if I am correct - means that they can self certify it. So from clinical validation to production will be fairly quick. The Saliva test will take longer as its a consumer test. This, assuming that I have it right, will be the mass testing that BoJo was talking about.
Thats my take from the RNS.
So I don't see what the big deal is...it just measn there are multiple revenue streams. So what are people moaning about? "its not what the market was expecting!"...yeah well sometimes the market gets it wrong and sometimes they don't have the inside scuttlebutt.
So if you can't handle the swings of AIM maybe you should go and invest in some nice cosy FTSE company. Today, just another day in AIM ...where SP makes no sense and where announcements of Vaccines are totally misunderstood - 90% effective...well 70% but with tweaking COULD be 90%...yeah, whatever

When you buy is up to you. If you're following the herd and you get stung, there is no one else to blame but yourself. I've missed out on lots of opportunies because I won't just jump in...I want to know what I'm spending my hard earned cash on.
I invested in SKIN back in february, when it was a reasonable price and am more than happy to keep my holding. Yes, I'm in profit but I have other holdings that are underwater waiting to come good. But thats my choice and my risk.
The guy who wrote this clearly bought on the spike and he has to accept that he was just trying to make a quick buck...and it failed.
Hope he's not wanting to become a day trader or he will be bust in no time.

All companies make screw ups and, yes, the presentation wasn't great but we all have to move on. The company have great product, it just has to get to market.
This fella either needs to shut up and wait or lash out some more cash and average down. Either way stop blaming other people for his mistakes....

i bought 5000 at 100.29 through hl

How's it in a warehouse when it's still in devlopment?

...and multiple doses required....its a lot of p*ss and wind

they turn chat off to keep everything else up.....Crap IT

Tech transfer does not require RNS notifications... unless you're saying you have some insider knowledge...

percieved quick profit against the ability to bide your time. Lots of people assume that if your return is not within a few weeks, its crap.
Thats why people got caught with UFO. They all piled in expecting a constant upward trend and then bailed. I'm sure UFO will do well, just not in two weeks. I hope so as I have some too but from quite a while ago.

I complained this morning and they refunded me two months

you know when Blair is lying, its when he opens his mouth!

He only promotes what he benefits from....apalling human being

as far as I'm aware, a company cannot withold an RNS. Market sensitive info has to be published as soon as is available. I fairly sure, also, that tech transfer does not need an RNS...
