Just checked - I bought back in early-mid March

Thanks guys, my mistake I thought I couldn't trade Forbes / Aquis on AJBell. Must have not looked hard enough. Would have been better than a p/c and paying HL £20 each trade. On the other hand perhaps it's stopped me from selling early for a quick buck, and holding might just be a great decision!

green box time

I bought mine on HL (unable to buy on AJBell). Had to call and pay minimum £20 dealing fee. Emailed them yesterday re online trading:
"Currently we do not facilitate online dealing on the Aquis exchange, therefore you'll need to deal over the telephone with one of the stockbrokers on 0117 980 9800 Monday - Friday 8:00am - 4:30pm for the telephone dealing rates of 1%, £20 minimum £50 maximum. All client feedback is highly valuable and forms the basis of all improvements to our service.
Please be assured that your comments have been passed on to our senior managers and I hope that in the future we will be able to offer a service that better matches your investment requirements"

I guess most that wanted to sell early doors for a quick profit did so last time. The others are holding on for the bigger prize

Just as we accept security checks at airports and large venues, testing is going to the new normal: from travel through large gatherings to hospital admissions. A mixture of accurate LFT and PCR

yup, thanks Ice I was idling on Helium board and saw your link to SCIR - quick bit of research and got in early enough today to be happy

Agreed - don't think it was a pump n dump - more of profit taking from those that bought sub-400.
I was tempted but think there's plenty more to come

I agree with all the sentiment here: oversold, should recover.
Despite the good natured rivalry on this board between holders of the various covid stocks, I am sure many of you have Novacyt and have seen the recent drop to 370 then rapid and ongoing recovery. I bought at the bottom of the novacyt dip; and have bought Abingdon today on what I hope will also be a dip.
I'm trying to move my strategy away from buy high / sell low to the other way round

The best summary I've read yet of TA

A while back - before the current fall - I watched a podcast which gave a plausible prediction that it would fall back to $43k in the coming weeks or months before resuming an upward trend. Only one of many predictions of course, but I've had that in mind.
Truth is, no-one knows. Predictions are just guesses, although to some extent can be self-fulfilling too, ie if enough people believe something is worth x amount of money, then price may head towards that value
I bought on the recent ARB drop, sold (a little early) into the rise, planning to buy again if it falls far enough. Mainly hodling onto most of my hoard and waiting until later in the year

Long term health effects from Covid are worrying at any age, but it is especially upsetting to see our and other children affected. However, you are incorrect in the assertion about sick notes. GP's are able to issue sick notes for long covid; but GP's are not able to issue sick notes [actually correctly termed Fit Notes] for children as this is not their function or legal basis. GP's are also generally discouraged from getting drawn into disputes between parents and schools / local authorities regarding frequent or long term school absence.

We give the flu vaccine each year, and typically it is trivalent or quadrivalent, meaning it covers 3 or 4 strains. The whole point of acquired immunity is that you can face the same threat againa nd again and fight it off after your first exposure.
It is standard to have five doses of tetanus vaccine, and fine to have more.
So, the answer to your question is no. It's ok to have several doses of vaccine, either to boost immunity, or to cover new strains

I think the comparison with airport security is an interesting one.
This could be a paradigm shift.
Previously we accepted that you went on a plane, and there might be someone sat next to you coughing; that was just bad luck. Now, we're not going to accept that, and potentially not just re covid but also re Flu. People grumble about airport security but they would grumble a lot more if there was none.
Vaccination is very positive, but variants are occuring; we don't know how long immunity lasts; etc.
I can't see into the future but I think there is a real possibility that testing for Covid (and potentially other respiratory illnesses) will become an everyday part of entering crowded environments, whether public transport or concert halls.

Really? Why didn’t you buy a couple of days ago when it was 140p? Fair enough if you bought then and sold on the spike, but otherwise why make a point of buying now?
I think this is still a reasonable entry price but in the short term it may fall further eg if BTC falls further.
I’ve got a reasonable holding. Will see how price goes next week before adding to it

what entry price were you waiting for? You could have picked it up at less than 140

I was with you Moog - on this drop I felt it was only a question of when not if it would go back up, unless the floor out of bitcoin at the same time

I bought some extra at 145 and just sold for a sneaky little profit but not touching my main holding and I certainly wouldn't sell for a loss. If you invest in a share and it goes down in value, consider whether your initial decision was flawed (eg sucked in by ramping); or if fundamentals have now changed. Otherwise hold and think about buying a few more on the cheap.
Always worth trying to have a small stash of cash for moments such as this

I presume people are selling as expecting a dilution to raise funds.
I happened to sell a few yesterday to free up some cash as I always like to have a little available for unexpected falls in the price of shares I like - I wasn't expecting to put it straight back into PRE but have just done so. As others have said this is an investment. It may fall further from here in the short term, especially if dilution announced, but I'm confident in the longer term it will rise.

It will come, in its own good time
