Stuart1471, just reading your post, I generally agree with your sentiment. I do feel however we may drift a bit lower on SP but were quite close to the bottom. Once IAG resumes flying with a half decent schedule %, we should see this back to £2.50. I think were looking at 6 months for £3-3.50 perhaps, assuming there's no second peak of the Corona virus. I think to return to previous SP of £6+, your looking at possibly up to 5 years. Traffic will return, people are desperate for holidays travel will always happen. The world needs to get Covid 19 under control and when confidence returns, so do the pax. I feel IAG is in a unique position, possible competitors go under or restrained as their Govts have taken a share of them. The workforce is streamlined, costs therefore reduced, older less efficient aircraft retired with new ones coming in. A 3rd runway at Heathrow not looking like it will get the go ahead anytime soon , so IAG fully in control at Heathrow with majority of slots, this all places IAG in a great position moving forward and should come out of the current position much leaner, stronger and hence SP will head back to previous levels and more, it will just take time. Long term investors here will be rewarded. I'm topping up on the dips but now hold a decent holding. I believe in this company and have been invested here for a long time overall. GL All!!

Go ahead make my day!!! :-)

Exactly, when these shares are at £5+, your entry price will look rather good!! A great find and for inspiration worth listening to the webchat presentation by the CEO of the company. My wife is a nurse, I let her listen, she said one he sounded really confident in his product and future capabilities and two, his reputation is on the line and the medical world is quite small. He believes in Avacta clearly, we all do here and all of us will do rather well!!!

Hold fire, this is a great company from what I've read, as many good posts have said here Richken and others, when the news does drop that were waiting for, this will propel the SP big time!! Until then a bit of a waiting game!! I'm out of funds now otherwise would look for the opportunity to top up myself!!!

Thanks RK, I've topped up this morning on the dip, long term a great hold!! I don't have shares in the numbers you do, but if this does really really well, I will certainly make enough to look to retire much earlier than expected!! GL All, exciting times ahead!!!

So a question I have, I'm invested here, being reading all the posting, what's people's views on where they think the SP will be when Avacta announce successful testing / partnerships ready to go for Covid-19?

Whatamess, there is always a risk of course of a second peak. I'm hoping with the slow steps countries are taking, together with more track and trace and widespread community testing, that countries manage to get Covid-19 under control. The risk of the airline industry not restarting in a meaningful way soon is that many more jobs will be lost and the whole aviation industry will really be damaged alot more than it is already. I'm buying and selling on the dips at the moment, I'm no seasoned professional trader, however, I feel the more shares I can acquire here whilst low, why not. They will go up long term for sure. I enjoy a bit of risk v reward, those who get in now will do well. Yes, the SP may dip down further, but with other airlines looking to restart / already increased their flying schedule, then it would have to be a second outbreak that would bring the industry down alot worse. My feel, the current SP reflects all the known bad news to date, all airlines know this year will be a right off in terms of making profit and more about survival of the fitest!! Assuming no second wave of covid-19, 6 months time I would put the SP at £3-£3.50. GL All!!

Exactly takingmytime, I had a quick and cheeky sell on the spike this morning and bought back gaining an £850 pounds worth of shares, to build up my holding here. Will play on the swings a bit if I can, but honestly feel as momentum starts to build with other countries wanting to get flying IAG will soon be moving and along with it the SP!!!

Hi whatamess, the only way to control the virus is wide spread track and trace. Testing, testing testing. Governments around the world need to have extensive programmes of testing. There will also need to be heat detectors, hand sanitizers at airports and general proof that individual countries have covid-19 under control in their own countries. I feel having read the news yesterday, possibly an extension of furlough for another month, but UK government knows if it delays airline industry too long, there wont be one left so very fine balancing act. I feel planes will go with low loads for awhile before confidence builds back and towards normal service resumes, possibly 6-12 months. You may find we have quarantine for June and part of July and traditional 6 weeks off period in Back end of July and Aug no quarantine. Just my views. Once momentum builds up from competitors wanting to do 'meaningful flying' the whole sector will start the slow recovery back. Of course it will take time. Assume we resume flying sometime in July e.g. at 40-50% of schedule, the SP should get back to £2.50 level as investors will see light at the end of the tunnel. I'm staying invested, as I always say long term I believe in people wanting and needing to fly, and if your going to pick a strong group whom take tough decisions early, are well run, then you could do alot worse than backing IAG. The qataris understand this clearly and are heavily invested here!!! GL All!!!

SP will hover around current prices until clarity from Government on quarantine restrictions. It's still rather vague at the moment. I very much doubt they will impose 2 weeks quarantine in July, if they find, they will kill off the airline industry. I bought back in today at 184, I think your looking 4-5 years before it bounces back to pre covid 19 levels. When it does though, anyone invested here at current prices will do well. A good long term share to have in your portfolio, patience is the key. Once flying starts again, these are back up to £3 level pretty quick. We just need the virus to be controlled and hopefully no second wave!!! GL All and keep safe!!

A quick sale for me this morning at 194 and bought back at 184, I cant see these going much lower to be honest sl was looking to gain a further few shares which I did, happy to hold a decent amount now for the longterm. IAG arent stupid, they will rise and do very well from this level. Given the overall size of the group I feel we are now near bottom. Willie will be pushing the Government hard to get the UK flying again when he is questioned by MPs today, this will limit the job losses. There will of course be more casualties with other airlines going under, but I see IAG benefitting from this scenario, a reduced and cheaper workforce, less competition and further airlines under the IAG umbrella. A great time to buy in my opinion for long term hold!! GL All!!

Were heading in right direction, I feel we may touch £1.50 today but certainly towards end of this week, if not higher. Momentum is building all the time!!

This will drive considerable interest this week and hopefully the SP!! Great work!!

Johnewing, it's an interesting question. I feel the market may open lower as it's not confirmed yet the start and end dates for the UK quarantine, however the SP should then rise back to present levels quickly. IAG and other airlines will be hurt by any longterm quarantine plans so they would be asking the government for an extended furlough package specific for the aviation industry to save 1000s of jobs. The Government wont want to pay this due to the massive cost. I feel therefore you may have the UK quarantine during June for instance, but probably lifted by July, so airlines can get back to flying at an increased level. In summary a nice opportunity to top up today, once clarity provided on the quarantine and assuming it doesn't affect IAGs stated meaningful return to a 50% flying schedule in July, the SP will be heading back to £2.50 - £3 quite quickly in my himble opinion. Long term holders will be rewarded here for sure. Patience is the key!!!

Agreed with sentiments, it's the cancer treatment that will drive the SP longterm. In the meantime however, the Covid-19 crisis should hopefully propel Avacta's name out more into the market with its rapid test. The key to getting out of lockdown will be wide spread testing!! This company should do very well, there are a number of players out there but I think this is one of the strongest. Get in while you can, the SP will rocket in the not too distant future. GL All!!

I just listened to the Webinar again, I've topped up here yesterday on the back of the webinar. I've reduced my holding in GDR and also sold out of ODX. Longterm, this will be a great winner. GL ALL.

Good buy in price johnewing and well said below. All airlines will be looking to get flying as soon as possible, with IAG looking to ramp up in July. Not sure the quarantine will happen personally, otherwise many travellers won't simply travel e.g. Business, it wouldn't be viable. I think more likely to test at the airports and stop people flying if they have symptoms of covid-19 / have a temperature, that is certainly something Heathrow is looking at temperature wise. We don't know of course if the SP may drift a little lower, but I think at current prices, a good long term bet in IAG. People will always fly, business and pleasure. This virus will pass, it will take time for things to return to normal and eventually the SP will go back up. IAG have already said they won't be blocking out the middle seat. They need to get through the industrial relations, but assuming they come out the otherside, they will be leaner, less competition and JSA announced with QATAR on UK - Australia routes, they will make plenty of money, have lots of new planes and SP will rise. It will of course take a few years, but anyone in here now will do well for the longterm hold. Ive topped up and will be holding form for retirement!!! GL ALL!!

Richken great to read your posts as always, topped up myself this morning unfortunately at 112, long term a great buy and what this company is doing is amazing!! Inspirational listening to the webcast last night, longterm holders will be rewarded many times over!!! GL All!!

Top up for me today at 189, remember the Qataris own 25%, there not going to let that go down the pan!! Flying starting in July and no doubt renegotiation of the Air Europa deal along with staff contracts. This company will pull through, be leaner and I feel with less competition should do well long term. Great long term hold for your portfolio. GL All!!
