And still Aim refuses to accept reality. What's the negative he asks! Look at the SP Aim and then ask yourself that question again and if you still don't get it seek help!

Let's face it, it's looking increasingly like Bond has been ramping again with his early 2022 comments. It's March next week! How can there still be no news to impart after months of expectation? What the hell are they doing? Beggars belief and now with Putin invading Ukraine I think the chances of anyone making money here are fast disappearing. Bond must go or we'll have nothing left!

Unless we can sell it to a Russian outfit. Gazprom Rosneft?

Yes. The much vaunted S cell. Will it work and if so how long before it gets beyond the prototype stage? Would be nice to get some clue on this as currently we're just existing on blind faith. If it's successful AFC will overtake ITM and CWR in MC quickly and easily. A big "if" though but who knows? Shareholders certainly don't that's for sure! Thanks Adam.

Distribution agreements are a positive. Definitely. It means that the POC is wanted in those countries signing up to them implying that the efficacy of the tests is to the required standard having been already evaluated. Also it clearly looks like UK sales will follow once CTDA is achieved. Sounds like we're still in with a shout of making GDR into a successful, profitable diagnostics company. Let's hope for a positive market reaction today.

Good luck Hexy. Know how you feel! I see the Yanks are on another downward trend today so no doubt it will affect us negatively tomorrow unless we finally get some news to lift the price. TBH I've given up on ever hearing about orders. Bond is really being unprofessional with his company news blackout, leaving us mushrooms to just sit and wonder. Maybe tomorrow!

Let's hope the Yanks don't pull their usual trick and spook the UK market. AFC holding up well considering the geopolitical backdrop.

Yes I know Scarpa. Not pretty but hopefully Putin will try diplomatic leverage before going in gung ho all guns blazing! I'm sure there can still be some compromise achieved god willing.

FTSE futures only down 0.89%. Hopefully the sell off will be less severe than expected. If there's talk of diplomacy later it might even rise. Not easy being invested in these volatile times. Sell, hold or buy the perennial question!

It's becoming increasingly difficult to make any money with stocks. Putin is going to mess up what should be the recovery phase for IAG now that Covid is effectively over. You wait for air travel to start to recover only to be clobbered by a war in Europe. You couldn't make up. Soul destroying.

Thanks Cheek. It's encouraging to hear your positive and logical thoughts on why we're invested here. Sometimes it's too easy to focus on the negative. I think looking away for a while is good advice. I'll try!

Thanks for your candour Seg. It's refreshing to read someone saying it as they honestly see it. I think you're logic is sound and I like your confidence, especially the 75 orders bit! I guess I made the mistake of putting too much back in at a much higher price but if it had gone the other way I'd be laughing now! Great that you've no mortgage at such a young age. Wishing you luck with all your investments. Looks like you've done ok elsewhere so well done. Let's hope for better things here in the not too distant future.

My plan was to hold until sales Seg but I've lost confidence and not just here! I've been take a battering of late and now with WW3 looming there doesn't seem to be much general market positivity. I'll have a think this week. Incidentally you still seem very positive so where do you see this going longer term?

I nearly did Seg but hung on waiting for the 50 orders! It's so far down now that I feel it can't go much lower (famous last words) I did sell half at 35p so have already crystallized a big loss (ouch). I still harbour a small hope that something good might eventually happen but the longer the silence goes on the less confident I feel. Let's hope all my griping is blown away tomorrow morning with a blockbuster RNS.

The only laughable thing here Cheek is Bond's consistent failure to deliver anything commercial despite statements to the contrary over several years, except it's not funny! If you can't see that then the joke's on you.

Snag is Alt we always seem to be waiting for something. Neom been and gone and nothing to report. All very disappointing as ever. At least they're consistent!

So you're basically saying Boonco to ignore anything Bond says or has said reference expected progress as it is highly likely to not be accurate and to just go with gut instinct. An extremely odd way of looking at things unless you're suggesting Bond just makes stuff up!

If you can't base investment decisions on what a CEO predicts for their company then we're in trouble but unfortunately it does now look like this is the case here but that's easy with hindsight! Maybe you've got a degree in it?
Your point about Bond not being explicit on what to expect is not accurate. To say that there are 50 qualified enquires the majority of which have multiple order potential deliverable before year end 2021 is an extremely bullish stance and also explicit with e.g. a specify number and timescale mentioned. Based on that statement any reasonable person would therefore expect at least some orders out of the potential multiple possibilities, to materialise as stated. They have not and so I say Bond has clearly mislead investors. If you can't see that your either blind or for some reason deliberately trying to let him off the hook. There are a lot of angry investors who feel duped and am sure would blame Bond for that. Maybe you're just a forgiving soul.

Let's hope the market takes the same view and doesn't overreact to the negative. Biden and Johnson are deliberately trying to create panic it seems. One just hopes that behind the scenes cool heads are at play, making serious attempts to avert disaster. All this Russia baiting is a very risky strategy given they possess the world's biggest nuclear arsenal! And just to compound things, the free world is being led by a senile geriatric. You couldn't make it up!

But true Aaron/Aim!

It's obvious that Bond has outstayed his usefulness to AFC as his credibility is now non existent. If the HFC doesn't materialise very soon he'll have to stand down as it'll be one unfulfilled expectation too far. He can't keep promising the earth and delivering nothing. It's becoming absurd and will wreck the company beyond repair if it continues. Remember his juggling comment on proactive. Stuff like that is disrespectful to investors and smacks of indifference to their interests. He knows people invest based on his bullish comments and to me then not to deliver on any of it is bordering on impropriety and obviously detrimental to investors' wealth as I'm sure a lot on here can attest to! It reminds me of the story of the boy that called wolf!
