Looks like regulars here will only have evenings and weekends to post anything remotely science-based otherwise their post will be drowned out by the day tourists.

Once again, my thanks to SOG, Thoth, Afham, Krone, RMM, Potnak et al for words of calm and reason in the recent seas of pish (to coin a phrase).

Wot, no Giant Haystacks or Catweasel?

Hi Thoth - me too. Though I was beginning to think I'm a hypochondriac. I mean I have all the symptoms.

typo - yacht!

Hi SOG - at this rate you'll have a bigger yatch than Thoth!

Well that was a day and a half!

Just a reminder for those interested - tonight on BBC2 at 9pm a Horizon Special looking at how the various Covid vaccines were created. Might give some good insight into how large pharma operates and you never know, there might be mention of the need for therapeutics to go alongside a vaccine.

"The extraordinary inside story of the biggest scientific challenge of our age – following a small band of vaccine scientists around the world who took on Covid-19 and ultimately delivered the weapon to beat it.

As news of the coronavirus broke around the globe, a small group of scientists jumped into action to tackle one of the greatest medical challenges of our time: to create a vaccine against a virus no-one had ever seen before and to do so in record time, all during a deadly, global pandemic."

Hi WIP - just click on the filter tab above the chat and type in Macca766 and you're good to go.

Jeez, took me about 6 attempts to get a piddling 6224 shares at 8p!

With everything looking quite rosy I wonder when the masses will arrive here. Whilst the volume is significantly up, I just looked at the main shares page on Hargreaves Lansdown and wondered what'll happen here as and when SAR appears on their 'top 10 most viewed shares today' list. You know it'll happen sooner or later.

Royster - The MMs can see what stop losses are set on AIM shares so even if you'd kept yours at 5p, there would've been nothing to stop the MMs hitting that if they wanted to.

So I've just looked at my share accounts and the figures are heading north at a vast rate. Now feeling dizzy and have a dry mouth - is this normal?!

The added investment from the HNW individual must get the attention of any pharma looking to buy out SAR.

I think the HNW individual must be quite pleased with their 900k investment.

FalkirkFreamer - and if Sareum makes us both millionaires, we shall cartwheel nekkid down the High St.

(On a Sunday morning. When it's quiet. So's not to scare the horses.)

FalkirkFreamer - So was that you this afternoon climbing the steeple and shouting 'woohoo!' ?

;-)

Basil - I take it back, 7.1p looks quite possible at this rate!

Perhaps a bit optomistic but it could be the start of a 5-day run over 5p - name one person who wouldn't like that!

LeMajor - If it was covid then I hope you didn't suffer any lasting damage. Luckily I and my parents appear to have avoided it.

I'll be awake bright and early tomorrow pondering the 'greed over need' dilemma; if we get good news in the near future then I'm currently holding enough shares to likely ensure a very comfortable life until I go to the great gig in the sky. Despite this, I could buy more in the hope of becoming stupidly rich (not Thoth-level rich, but I could certainly afford to pay someone to scream abuse at pigeons on my behalf). However I have to keep reminding myself this is pharma and not a certainty therefore it's lunacy to risk more than you can afford to lose....and yet the science looks so good!

I guess it's better to regret not having more shares in a company than regret having too many!

Good luck all.

OFFS!!!! 'School'.

y-axis even. (haven't been to shool in years!)

Even though the x-axis was pence he kept saying pounds. I'll take either for now.

Charts might be ok for a company making widgets etc. though not sure how useful they are for the pharma sector as how do you factor in intangibles such as IP and political reaction to the pandemic?

Alarm clock primed for 7am tomorrow!
