Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
Lets face it, the MMs sold shares they didn't own on Friday and Monday... the buys outweighed sells massively. I smell book balancing.
"Following changes this week by the Government to Covid-19 infection control measures, from today all staff, students and visitors will be required to wear face coverings when indoors on campus, including in educational settings and communal areas.
The only exceptions to this are:
• Hospitality venues
• As a result of a medical exemption
• While exercising or taking part in indoor sports
This change is in addition to the mandatory requirement to the use of face coverings on public transport, in shops, and in a range of other venues which came into force at 4am this morning across England.
All other current measures remain unchanged, including a need for students to continue to get regularly tested. You can order free lateral flow test kits online here, and they can also be collected on campus from the Sports Centre, Students' Union, and Smart Innovation Hub (IC6). "
Looks like the education sector could be about to go hard as a mofo on covid this winter so they can stay open.
My monthly appearance on the forum here, and a holder since April 2020.
I find it incredibly frustrating right now that every single negative bit of information is written straight up into an RNS. For example, today we found out that we are looking at a potential £3m loss in revenue for the rest of 2021. Regardless, we have had contracts over the past two years that eclipse this figure massively and have never once been put into an RNS.
I think it was like September last year when we were getting £10m+ contracts in little countries or principalities around the world and not a peep from the company regarding it.
This is odd behaviour - we can't deny it. The conspiracy theorists are stating that the company will be taken over; that GM was forced out. However, the longer this decline goes on, the stranger the company behaviour is getting, no?
Get all the shareholders to vote me in and I'll sort out the bloody coms.
I mean, if we can get that here... I'll buy you a pint haha
I never really pretend to be an expert in investing, and stay quiet a lot more recently.
However, I'm wondering, story-wise, what the biggest % losses people have had, kept holding/adding, and then turned a profit?
The reason hospitals are in such bad shape though (post-covid at least) is not because of covid directly... it is because nurses who have been brought back in on stupid wages into positions that never existed are screwing around with rotas and messing about regular nurses. There's a reason a lot of these nurses weren't in the NHS anymore, the lucky few the NHS had managed to get rid of, and not just move to a different ward.
Honest to god this winter will be bad, not because of the government's incompetence, but instead the NHS's inability to promote appropriately. The band 7/8s are the laughing stock of the wards at the moment, the stories I hear... a huge amount lazy and incompetent, who were promoted to stop them harming the care of others... its a joke.
Why are we surprised that fresher flu is bad... throughout uni I had it every year, and that was with constant travel from everyone. Imagine isolated variants of flu from different parts of the country (because nobody has been travelling) all coming together at once.
Lockdowns were dumb, and will materially impact younger gens immune systems now.
Probably only gets paid for 48 lol, healthcare = ****show for unpaid overtime
Can we just recall that the company has £40m of unused tax write offs too from previous losses....
I think the problem for us "kids", is that we are surrounded by successful people, and see ourselves as no less capable than them. We are told from a young age that hard work means you get to be 'that' successful person, but in reality, so much of it is luck.
I work part-time for a diagnostics company now, knowing full well that the owner is incapable, half of the higher management are not necessary (as with an NHS contractor), yet in a shift, I produce £10-20,000 of output for these people, yet get paid £100. Now, why would anyone not want to be the owner of a business nowadays?
Should have spent a few weeks learning to drive a lorry instead of 6 years at Uni ;)
Personally, I need to finish my current research project first before considering full-time employment right now - plus being at Keele for university means you're in the middle of nowhere. However, once thats up, certainly be on the hunt. Depressing thing is one of my coursemates had his dad get him some cushy £50k a year job as a grad manager. Jammy f*ck ahhaa
Back to NCYT, the next statements from the BOD will be pretty decisive on my direction I think - and wouldn't be surprised if a lot of us weren't thinking the same.
I mean, it's all very well having the spare cash to hold, but the fact is my MSc finishes in 20 days' time, my finances are slowly dwindling... I've been unable to find any suitable post-grad. jobs (so if anyone knows of anywhere with some nice graduate supply/operations schemes, hit me up lol). If I had £20k right now, I'd double down on NCYT, but instead, I've got less than £3k in my current announts now and no job to sustain myself post uni. Even trying to set up a couple of businesses right now isn't easy with these types of finances.
What do people reckon, pull my £15k out of NCYT and put it into starting a business or hold for a couple more months and go for broke?
Followed NCYT since last April with endless amounts of faith. Initially in @121, kept adding up to £5. Didn't sell at £12, perhaps the biggest regret for me. Foolishly bought even more at £7.40 after the second spike to take my average to £4.17...
Got too much tied up here, and very close to calling it quits, taking a 20% loss, and jumping off a bridge. Maybe the last part was unnecessary, but still. As a young lad, I'd say I've called this stock terribly. Thrown away months of profits into this company.
God help us because apparently, the BOD doesn't give a flying f*ck.
This gets back to £4.20, I'm reducing my holding by half at a break even.
Yeah, but have you ever met a french man... If apple was a French company it would definitely matter to them how many iPhones were sold in Paris ahahah
If Novacyt reaches £35 I might finally be able to afford my knee op ;)
Maybe its the CEO realising its all over and cashing in on his last remaining shares :'(
Well that aged well...
Resistance should be found at 710p according to charts on ii... interesting...
Breaking even lol. Come on, our faith has to be rewarded guys :)
