It's not, no?!

We will and it could take us all by surprise. I think ROW sales were likely the reason for the underestimation when it came to the trading update. Many of us had penciled in ~£250m from the UK alone so wondered if £400m was achievable when in reality, although we sell to 150 countries many probably account for tiny amounts relatively speaking.

If you're right then 2021 sales will be explosive but for now all we can do is keep the faith.

Having said that we don't know the breakdown across geographies and won't know until the full year results are out in a month's time.

I know that, I think pivoting to variant testing is clever and could prove to be a much more sustainable revenue source. Still, it looks like the majority of our revenue is from the UK so the UK charts are more meaningful than what's happening to the rest of the world - other companies will be benefiting more from the ROW rising cases...

Let's hope we really are supplying the world in meaningful quantities then for that graph to be relevant.

You can't say that Lola with a stock that tracks bitcoin. I agree it won't go below £2 unless bitcoin heads towards the $50k level but you can't guarantee that.

Where has this discussion of shorting and short attacks suddenly sprung up from? As far as I can see there are no Shorts above the 0.5% reporting threshold. Of course like all shares there is probably some level of shorting going on but is there any evidence there is a coordinated attack to keep the share price down at the mo?

You can't take any criticism. What I put was not 'wrong', you might disagree with my approach of keeping schtum to avoid pointless arguments, but it is still a fact that you know the reaction you are going to get when you post something. We all know your target price, I actually know most people's target price on here. The difference is I see Matterhorn, Doc, MassiveRay, Woodstock etc sharing theirs far less often than you share yours.

You get stick Aston/Org because you know others don't agree with you and you get off on posting your £3-£5 time and time again knowing full well the reaction you're going to get. As it happens I've always had a lower target than most on here and a good few months ago I said I'd take a £7 T/O pre results and got laughed off the board and was told we'd looking at atleast 3 times that. The difference is I recognise that most don't agree with me and I notice the reaction I get for posting certain stuff and so I avoid it so as not to send the bb down the same predictable path time and time again.

The pandemic made people think that making 300% a year is normal, it's not. Top investors will usually we happy with 15% returns year on year. Some on here still have super high price targets and expect £50 a share by the end of the year but realistically if novacyt manage to make it to £2b mcap in 3-5 years then they've done a fantastic job and delivered exceptional shareholder return.

That's what I'm looking for if I'm still invested by then, ~£28 a share by 2024/2025.

Porky, p/e ratios etc don't apply to micro cap stocks. Think about it, virtually all small cap stocks are loss making. They will be valued at say £5m mcap, £30m mcap etc based on potential alone and how well funded they are.

I imagine GDR will settle around the £40m mcap mark now.

48% currently.

And look at their SP, ouch!

This is going to pop soon, isn't it?!

After a tumultuous week price action-wise I sit here imagining how rich I'd be if I was able to read how that was all going to play out. I was lucky that I took a sizeable position before Monday and didn't chase it up pre listing but I did chase it on the way down a little and have ended up with 4d making up more of my portfolio than planned.

Still, a few bits of major news and I will be rich!

WBAFC by any chance?!

There weren't that many PCR tests done yesterday, that's just the capacity.

It's true Kaeren in that regard, we are able to move as quick as the big boys like TF and Roche and it's why the likes of biosynex and other small diagnostics cos. will be slower to market for things like SNPSig.

They don't want me to, they want their independence back.

My parents are in their late 70s. They've been scared for a year, barely left the house, I did all the shopping for them etc. Recently I said to them 'what would it take to feel safe again and for you to get back to your normal lives?' They said 'for covid to be eradicated'. But we know it isn't going to be, we know the best we have is vaccines. So if after being vaccinated they don't start trying to get back to normal somewhat when will they? What is the point of their lives if it's at a distance from all the people they love? I'm now trying to drum it into them that the vaccines are effective and extremely effective against severe illness. In truth, that's what we are hiding away from right? We aren't giving up all the freedoms we had because we don't want a runny nose, it's because we don't want to get seriously ill, be on a ventilator, possibly even die.

If vaccine evading variants take a hold I would strongly encourage them to be as careful as possible until they get boosters, but besides that I won't do anything anymore that makes them fearful of the outside world.
