"As at 9 October 2020, the Company had collected 95.7% of rent due for the year to date, adjusting for monthly rent and agreed collection plans, which is in line with 95.6% of rent collected for the equivalent period in 2019. We are pleased with this level of collection given the challenging environment."

So not a lot has changed since pre-COVID but discount is 33%, 12.75% yield for new holders ffs. It make no sense to me, any ideas?

Holding on for a 600% rise to break even. Ever the optimist.

Basically Wang Xiaoshen, chief executive of Ganfeng Lithium said the recycling plant could be near the mine (Sonora), and both could supply the North American market with lithium for batteries. I'm surprised the SP hasn't moved higher.

It looks like they've provided an insurance company with additional finance to fund their growth through gaining market share. HG seem to be good at making decisions and the share price has always grown since their IPO (the chart on here doesn't account for the share split). So, yes, probably bullish.

I would appreciate a translation of this:

"- the allotment of ordinary shares for cash on a non-pre-emptive basis up to a nominal value of £1,867,544 (equivalent to 10% of the issued ordinary share capital at today's date);"

Does it mean that the trust can carry out a placing of 10% of share capital without giving shareholders first choice?

33.7p at the time of writing, now 40p, 19% increase. Does Master Investor normally produce the goods or was this just luck?

I think they have to buy at 12 month maximum, so October would be 35p.

I imagine the HL selling costs will be sky high.

On the 23rd May HGT did a 10 to 1 share split: https://www.investegate.co.uk/hg-capital-trust-plc--hgt-/rns/sub-division-of-shares/201905230758009673Z/

This doesn't seem to be reflected in the charts. The real chart would show almost non-stop continued growth excluding covid, even then the recovery is looking good. Excellent IT.

The U-turn in A level grading means that there'll be loads more students able to go university this year. Should mean more demand to for accommodation, should mean higher occupancy rate for ESP properties leading to reinstatement of divi.

Accuracy is sum of true positives plus true negatives divided by number of tests. Completely meaningless for a disease where the prevalence (percentage of people who have it is low) as in the case of covid19 (0.05% 2 weeks ago in England and Wales, ttps://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/healthandsocialcare/conditionsanddiseases/articles/coronaviruscovid19roundup/2020-03-26).

I know that at least one top UK university are insisting that all students live near the university for their 1 hour per week tutorial, the lectures are online. From my experience educational establishments are like sheep so I'm quite sure other universities are doing the same. 3 out of 3 students I know who are due to start uni this year are doing so.

I'm expecting to see a good take up of accommodation in second half, overseas students will return to complete courses, maybe less might start new courses but this will be compensated by more home students taking up premium on suite accommodation due to COVID19. Also, as mentioned in the RNS there'll be more post grads due to the difficult recruitment environment at the moment. So assuming the accounting should work out to be a good move. Nice rise in the SP today, still a long way off my first buy in! Once dividends are restored the SP should return to normal.

I wonder whether this is just one of those many traditional ways that the financial services industry describe things that make no initiative sense. I did a random search for grant of options and here's another example: https://www.investegate.co.uk/empyrean-energy-plc/rns/grant-of-options-and-pdmr-notification/201909181128058197M/. Note the phrase "issue incentive options in respect of 2,500,000 ordinary shares of 0.2 pence in the Company". Later in the RNS it says "The exercise price of the Options is £0.125 per Ordinary Share". So the 0.2p is not the exercise price, it's something else but my knowledge isn't deep enough to know.

The EML RNS doesn't state the exercise price, so I don't think GC is getting £250,000 worth of shares for next to nothing. I think the 0.05p might have something to do with the nominal price of the share and maybe it's possible to work out the exercise price from this, I'll look into. Of course it would have helped if EML has stated the exercise price as
Empyrean did.

Morbox, you've described exactly what happened to 3 of my shares the same morning last month. No RNS, no news, just a downward spike kicking in my -10% stop losses. All three ended up higher than previous close. A little odd.

Excellent find maen, thanks.

I've been looking into buying into this share. At the moment the big potential is for the affimer based saliva test to be passed by the UK Government CONDOR programme. Saliva based tests are easier, more reliable and quicker than the swab tests currently in use, I get that. I found this: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-saliva-test-for-coronavirus-piloted-in-southampton.

So it seems that other saliva tests are being evaluated by the UK government, assuming this evaluation now comes under the CONDOR group, there are possibly 4 other companies in the frame: Optigene, Chronomics, MAP Science, and Oxford Nanoimaging.

Anyone know what advantages the Avacta test has over the ones from these companies?

Wow, this could be huge if other paint manufacturers take it up.

I'm new to aim investing and really confused about how the sp is evaluated. I hold BCN in a HL account, yesterday at 1717 the share price was given as 22p (I took a screen print), today at 1833 the sp was 22p, the value was quoted the same in both cases. HL registered this as a day loss of 1.5p = 6.25% loss. So somehow between 1717 and 0830 yesterday's close was 24p. This site has a loss of 1.4p. Any ideas on why this happened? I'm sure it's not a one off.
