@Mikey, this has been the pattern for a while now. Before the conifer TR1 there were days when you couldn’t sell a bean for chunky periods of time during the day, and it’s gotten worse since. My belief is that they are still heavily selling down and this pressure on the SP won’t release until they are done. There are periods of the day (like today) when they seem to ease off and let the price rise, but then it just gets going again, and the same pattern is repeated. It always seems to be particularly difficult to (dummy) sell after 3pm. Sooner the b@stards are out the better :-)
@Codejunkie, let’s hope so. Some of the decision making beggars belief.
@codejunkie, completely agree on both points. I just can’t get my head around the decision on Wembley. Makes no sense to me. Hey ho. I’m sure they know what they’re doing ;-)
@Sportstrader, you make a good point, but if the government are already going down the ‘no test required if you’re vaccinated’ route what on earth does this mean for the likelihood of continued mass testing in this country?
Exactly, AgentB. You’re going to have a chunk of people in the ground happily knowing that they’ve recently tested negative, potentially sat next to a carrier who has been vaccinated. It makes zero sense. For the sake of a few extra quid, why not have everyone test themselves?
Any thoughts on this afternoons news that a negative LFT result will only be required to get into a game at Wembley during the Euros, if you haven’t had both doses of the vaccine? WTF are they thinking? Surely this is a perfect opportunity to get people used to taking a ‘sovereign’ test before attending events etc, going forward? IF a huge testing regime is still the plan going forward in this country, why are they mostly binning it off already for a vaccine passport? Bring on the rest of Europe, I say.
Cristal - The mere fact that you are admitting to no longer holding shares, yet still posting here makes you a clown in my eyes. Most idiots that pop up spouting doom and gloom at least have the good grace to lie about holding shares.
Also, My Dad’s harder than your Dad. So there.
Buy a life?!? Are you 12?
@Rollyroll, we all hope that you’ll sell and feck off, but we can’t have everything we want, eh?
Christ Zendog, you’re boring. At least you didn’t wheel out your hilarious 2022 joke. We can be thankful for small mercies.
Here’s a thought. Somebody very helpfully posted a link some weeks ago to a new (ish) government process, in which any CE marked test now had to go through a separate evaluation, by them, in order to be sold in the UK. I believe to get rid of any old Micky mouse test being touted. So, once AVACTA / Mologic declared CE and submitted the file to the MHRA, would the test not automatically have started this government evaluation before sign off? If they signed it off first, the test could be sold without the extra checks. Might explain the extra time being taken. Any thoughts?
This is amazing :-) By the time these people are at the transport hub / mass event, they will already be mixing with hundreds, if not thousands of people. Or is everybody going to get a sniffer dog posted to their household?
My two pence, for what it’s worth, is that when AS stated final assessment would be completed by the end of April and CE Mark in ‘very’ early May, he fully expects / expected to announce it this week (fingers still crossed. What I found odd last week was the mologic tweet, referring to the LFT moving on to next stage with GAD (later clarified as the final assessment mentioned by AS). My thoughts are that when AS mentioned very early May, he was planning on that assessment starting immediately. Yet the mologic tweet was over a week later. Are Mologic just super slow with their twitter, or did they tweet as and when it started, and if so, why the delay of more than a week in beginning final assessments? Just my thoughts on a super slow Wednesday afternoon. Also, all that being said, I call tomorrow for the big one :-)
@Ginge, you are of course correct. Just an attempt at humour on my part :-)
PL75, my thoughts exactly. The risk must be negligible at this point. Hence the commercial batches already produced. Should fill everyone with extreme confidence. As an aside, did everyone notice that the pic of the actual product in the presentation already had the CE stamp on it? Now there’s confidence for you ;-)
Ndn, perfectly feasible that they are already producing commercial batches ‘at risk’
It’s not unusual in the manufacturing world to start producing product for sale in bulk before final qualifications are completed. Obviously the danger is that the qual fails, hence the at risk element.
@Ndn, I did post a reply to this, but doesn’t seem to have posted. Apologies if I duplicate.
Even if it does mean that stability testing starts now, it’s still perfectly feasible that it will complete by the end of April. As stated by another poster earlier, it should be a very simple temperature cycling process to ‘age’ the product in quick time. Doesn’t take long at all.
@Ndn - Why do you say he jumped the gun? Even if it does mean stability testing is just beginning, it could well complete by the end of April, as AS stated. As intimated by another poster earlier, it’s probably just temperature cycling, which could very easily complete in a day or two.
Hi Wyn,
I guess my point is that what on earth has the market heard in that presentation that wasn’t expected when the SP was on the up beforehand? We always knew that it was a few weeks away from CE mark. In fact I think that the fact he said stability would be complete by end April then CE mark in very early May suggests it could be not much over a week away. Also, we learned that it picks up the SA variant. More bonus information. He was deliberately coy about max capacity, but then he has to be, doesn’t he? Can’t just say that yep, we’re expecting a big fat government contract.
