Me neither but I try not to judge others who do. The young had their lives radically altered for over a year in order to protect the vulnerable and at least we're at a stage where everyone most at risk will have been vaccinated.

I shan't continue this argument however as this bb will not reflect the views of the average citizen in the UK!

He feels the same way about bitcoin too to be fair...

Troublesome not everyone lives the same life as you or has the same interests. I'm in no hurry to get away either and won't fly til things are much clearer but I don't begrudge anyone else having fun and enjoying themselves.

I bet you'd feel a bit differently if the lovely Winster valley was on the red list ;)

Novacyt today are in a far stronger place than they were on 15th Apr, I agree with you there, but I don't think Shares Magazine will come out with a new recommendation until the dispute is cleared/ the full year results are published on June 29. It's pretty clear the relationship with the UK government isn't severed and most of us here are pretty confident that any revision in profits for the year won't be too painful but to the City a profit warning is a profit warning and is an unacceptable unknown.

Not expecting anything tomorrow but back to back rns' would be lovely wouldn't it?

I imagine it's the scaremongering headlines re rowing back on the full reopening in June that is stunting the progress here share price-wise. Confident all will go ahead as planned and NEX will start heading back to its pre-covid valuation.

I agree Porky. With the stated 'Q2' for the company update coming more into focus each day I think the risk/reward for those shorting is starting to look less than favourable.

Also agree with you on the squirrels, that bushy tail gets them far more love than they deserve!

Not sure it will ever break £5 again Junior? Even on a pump? You do realise it almost hit £6 again (£5.85) just a couple of weeks ago?

His gameplan is to be as unpredictable as possible as it wields him far more power than being predictable.

Having said that WQ reduced their short *slightly* last week which suggests they felt they couldn't really push the share price any lower. I think they'll carry on reducing over the coming weeks so as when the next bit of news lands a sustained rally is actually possible.

Prussell's a hindsight investor, it never ends well.

Of course it's frustrating that so far it's not held up but this wasn't one of the RNS's to really force WorldQuant to release the brakes and close their short. It's another step in the right direction however as the company continues its progress behind the scenes - onwards and upwards!

This recent fall is just part of the toing and froing that goes on, particularly on AIM. The share price rose to 18p in anticipation of the Q1 update and sadly it turned out to include a couple more (small) negatives than we'd have hoped. It always takes a trading day or two to shake off something like that, so yes it might fall a little more and bottom out somewhere around the 14p mark but as Libero has pointed out there's lots of positive news likely to be released soon and coupled with the rising price of V I'm fairly confident we'll soon be back nearer the top of the current trade range (18p).

They will be poorer after this.

Brilliant rns for a number of reasons - expecting a good few days here now!

This BB has turned into a soap opera!

I've never complemented barnetpeter, I've said he's a nasty piece of work. I have agreed with the odd comment he's written before and despite hating derampers and those sneaky types if I agree with something from someone I don't like I'm quite happy to admit it.

And I didn't blame rampers for supporting the share, I said they have played a part in some of the big paper losses others on here inevitably are sitting on. I believe most of the rampers on here have good intentions and no ulterior motive but the fact that after being continually wrong for months on end people still listen to them over others who might perhaps offer a more negative or balanced view speaks volumes.

I've only been invested here for the past six months and have no history of investing in mining companies prior. Right now it appears that V is lagging other commodities during this commodity bull run but also that analysts expect a rally to occur in 2021. There are also other factors at play such as the need for vanadium as part of the green revolution in various ways, from the mainstreaming of VRFBs to the potential use in EVs.

Looking at the past fifteen years it appears that where we are now - ~US $30k - is the average price of V over that time, with only short periods of wild rises and falls in between. So my question is with (potentially, at least) the need for vanadium increasing significantly from here do analysts think that if/once the V price rises to $45k and beyond that it could be sustainable long term beyond the commodity supercycle? As a best guess would you expect the price of V to continue slowly rising throughout 2021 and 2022 or see more dramatic spikes?

Why should you have a clean conscience and me not? I've been out of this share twice - once after the trading update which I did not like whatsoever and a second time after the DHSC dispute rns. Both times I kept off these boards as I wasn't invested. The only reason you were in this whole time and I wasn't is because you had more faith in the company than I did at those points - I'm sure if you thought the share price was going to fall considerably you'd sell and buy back unless you're going to tell me otherwise? Surely no one on here is THAT committed to this company!

Completely agree Steve on both points. This was a long term hold for me last year but it's a small cap in a fast moving market and at times I felt I had to get out and watch from the sidelines to protect my capital - when I'm out I don't post, when I'm in I post and post positively as I obviously have bought back in because I believe the company is undervalued at that point in time.

On the second point, it's true no one should advise but it certainly happens on here and twitter and it occurs more to the buy side than to the sell side.
