Yes, the obsessive £500m daily chat has been missed in the 2 days it has dropped below.
All those II's desperate to buy and sell, but just twiddling their thumbs, not being able to trade until the MM's manipulate the SP back up for them.
Fingers crossed, as this will only go up higher when they are all done, apparently

There's nothing stopping one of them asking a specific question about testing though.
From what I have seen of the briefings, the questions all seem to be slightly different variations of the same thing every day, or specific questions about particular points that have been in the news that day, such as schools, access to vaccines, assistance to business, etc.
It's all quite generic and predictably safe, tbh
If testing is such an important part of the whole process as they say it is, you would have thought the media would be tackling them on this too to find out what is going on

"If you have a long term view, like me, you'll be buying more on significant dips."
Why?
I have a long term view, am currently well up in profit, with a nice (and low) average, and am invested at the level that suits my own personal situation and risk apetite.
I have no interest in increasing my average, or adding further to a holding that I am already at my target weight for in a balanced portfolio.
Holders should follow their own strategy and do what is best for them, no?

It's a bit like 'the other' poster who felt that ALL holders MUST buy whenever the SP was down to prove their commitment to the company and their belief in their holding, and to suport the SP.
There is no 'one size fits all' approach when it comes to investing

Try the ARB board, chippy.
Not invested there, but the board has been good entertainment this past week

Whilst I am comfortable with my holding, and happy to be sat in profit again, after what seems a long wait (again), I am not counting any chickens yet.
Prospects do need to turn into delivery which I really do feel will happen here.
I see UJO as a very different beast to others that have come in the past, for many reasons, but I must confess the following statement has a ring of familiarity to it (tinged with huge disappointment), so I will not take this as any great comfort at this time:

"If you didn't think it would flow commercially either gas or oil then you wouldn't waste time and money on permission for additional wells and long term production license".
It was almost 2 years ago to the day that I read something eerily similar following an RNS on another stock. Many will know the outcome of that.

Keeping my excitement here much more muted, but will not be at all surprised to see my expectations surpassed.

Exactly, Admiral70.
Have been here only a short time compared to many, but this is a minimum 2-3 year hold for me to see realistic returns and a truer valuation of the company based on results/performance.
Not concerned about intra-day moves, or the totally normal ups and downs seen over the course of the past couple of weeks.
The SP has already had its big leg up.
Any Wood group news should propel this to a new level, but we will see in time. Not expecting huge rises on every snippet of news though.
Holding at my intended level, happy with my average and current (paper) profit.
Will continue to review my position on news, as is sensible to do, but sitting comfortably and excited for the future here.

xxxyyyzzz,
I can see it on a banner at the top of the page (below Avacta Share chat header)

Volume has not been over 15m in more than 10 trading days now, and on many recent days it has been less than half that.
Less than 5m so far today.
I can only see this change on news, as seen on the last couple of news events.
To move the SP, this needs trading volume which is just not there currently.
Hopefully soon though
gla

I'm happy.
At my target weight here, decent average, in profit, and plenty of patience for the next step/big news.

Some good posts on this thrread.
I too do the best that I can, like many others have stated, and have changd my lifestyle greatly over the past 4 years (no more flying, growing my own, cutting back on meat, walking and cycling more, upcycling, composting, etc).
I currently have a 10 year old 4x4 diesel that is ideal for living in a remote and rural area that regularly gets cut off in the winter, but I do no more than 6k miles a year and will regularly walk 5k to the shops rather than drive. I will run this until it is no longer cost effective, fully expecting technology to advance in the next few years to give better choice when the time comes to replace.
I don't see it as hypocritical at all as the majority will be constrained (mostly financially, or for practical reasons) when it comes to, what is an expensive asset which currently may not provide a suitable alternative for everyone's needs.
Although we can all help to push for change and do the best we can in our own lives, it is governements and big business that are needed to influence the real changes needed, and the signs are promising that there is a will for this to happen (for the most part, anyway).

Hope I'm not considered one of the nobs on the AFC board, B2.
I just don't hero worship the poster who seems to think he owns the board like many others do, and I challenge the many dubious opinions he passes off as facts, which he really doesn't like.
Not really bothered about daily SP's there or here as don't have a short term view

Dw,
We know that plans are in place to be able to scale up activity both at Dunsfold Pk and in the M.E.
It is firm orders, and in numbers that will cause the mcap to readjust.
AIM companies are not easy to value accurately until they start to generate cashflow. Too many variables and too many different methodologies to calculate.
For me, it is not worth getting too hung up on the mcap/SP right now, especially since the considerable gains seen in the past couple of months on a variety of really good newsflow.
Come back and ask the same question at the end of 2021, if this is not at a much higher mcap

Collaborationss and partenrships are great for short term gains, especially when a company is growing and gaining a reputation, but there reaches a point with any company, that meaningful sales, cashflow, large contracts, are needed to propel the company to the next stage.
I beleive that this is what the markets are looking for now, although more of the same news can only help.
I think we are on course for this additional growth, but the markets want some 'meat on the bones' to back up the undoubted potential now.
Plenty of newsflow expected on various fronts and happy to patiently wait for the next leg up.
The constant comparisons are not helpful, imo. Useful to a certain extent, but not on a like-for like basis.
Jusy my view, others will disagree
gla

I think that the genuine holders are aware that there is plenty of news to come in the coming weeks, and are just patiently waiting.
The SP is just 'marking time' in this current range until then.
Not too much to discuss in the meantime
gla

bluerill,
If you are going to reply to a poster who made a genuine mistake (which they acknowledged), perhaps you should ensurre that you don't correct them with incorrect information yourself.
Afterall, who looks more stupid in that scenario?
Perhaps you should take your own advice and 'just be more careful' in future.

Thanks for your aggressive response too, Dm.
Oh dear, you say its 52 weeks, and bluerill says its 6 months.
I am sure one of you will send a similarly aggressive response to the other one to correct them too and to tell them to stop spreading false information.
You can't both be right, after all, so which is it?

Thanks for the clarification, bluerill.
It wasn't stated as a fact, so happy to be corrected (despite the tone)

starresnstoff,
I beleive if anyone wants to buy out GDR, they have to bid a minimum of the 52 week high as a starting point under the takeover rules.
So, that would be 220 (5th May).
Many would take that currently, I suspect
gla

I certainly thought it would drop lower than it has done to date since the announcement, so the SP reaction has been a surprise so far, for me.
Still a chance that there will be a dip when the shares hit the market in a few days time, especially if there is a sharp increase in volumes - those getting these shares at the placing price are showing a 50% profit at the current mid, so it may be too good an opportunity for some if the SP stays at this level.
It will be an interesting few days here, imo
gla

hr,
They are only £10k in value though.
Decent size compared to volume of orders today, but imo we really need volumes of 10x this and more to see any real SP movement.
