....worth remembering that "June update" may well come in the form of an as-at-end-June fiscal year update, in early July.

@GloriaMarket / anyone else - is there any source material on this point please?

Correct, July was stated, I believe "early July" to be a little more precise.

This from investing.com just in. Interesting point "The loss of high-margin elective surgery is increasingly cropping up as a factor hitting hospitals’ financial performance."

2. Record infections halt reopening

The U.S. posted 37,000 new Covid-19 cases on Thursday, a new daily record, as the outbreaks in California, Texas, Florida and Arizona continued to spread.

Texas and Florida put the reopening of their economies on hold in response to the surge in new infections of Covid-19 over the last few days. However, neither state – the second and fourth-largest in the U.S. by population – has tightened restrictions on activity yet.

Texas healthcare CEOs played down reports of local hospitals, notably in Houston, reaching their maximum capacity for intensive care, saying that there are options available to increase it. Governor Greg Abbott mandated hospitals in Harris and three other counties to postpone elective surgery to free up resources. The loss of high-margin elective surgery is increasingly cropping up as a factor hitting hospitals’ financial performance.

Elsewhere, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to strike down the Obama-era Affordable Care Act.

Yay!!!!! It's time for the daily "why the drop" question from Punit. All is right with the world. Going back to my chores.

...so looks even more so that it's going to die. Basically they said "we're dead" this morning, and will announce the details of the funeral this evening. So we take a 4-5% hit straight away. There will be pressure from vacant lots and lowered values on NRR's ability to maintain margins, surely. Anyone see any upsides at this time or is this a LTH till late 2021 now?

Looks like arguments today. I'm off out, to do some chores better for my health and I'd suggest we all do the same. Some deep breaths.

Epic post, Mr Bench. Classic.

I'd agree. See raharh threat re Wallbrook PR.

On ii there is an orange "response required" button under corporate actions, click through that twice and you will have a screen where you enter your requested allocation...

@ Timster re "thought about trading the usual drop this morning and bottled it. There is so much news to come it really makes no difference what the intra day price does (to a longer term holder, who's ****e at trading)). If we get positive news on either of the current tests or on blocking therapeutics then the SP will be way higher and worth commenting on." I've done the same. Problem is that every day without a bump it chunks down a couple of percent, but there is no mechanism to safely avail of that. Bail and leave it for a few days and you're guaranteed to be caught by the monster RNS at 7am, or intraday. Se, we stick, we have the faith, even though the SP may chunk down a bit.

LastCoyote, very sorry to hear about your shirts. It seems unreal when a SP drifts and dwindles and yet you sit on your holdings, I've got some wacky items left over from the 1990s which are worth tuppence. They used to be worth a shirt or two. Good luck.

Fair enough, but I don't get why MAB has taken such a battering (relative to Spoons and Marston, which are indeed down but not by such a massive dump).

@jdt this is the scenario I would be concerned about, somewhat. And it's perfectly plausible, sadly.

What have we heard about the 14 interested parties? Is there anything new - I don't recall any update about that.

TDT - thanks for the info, and the reassuring PS. I think I can remember the time that I could remember stuff, but I'm no longer sure. My life is overrun by job lists and aide-memoires now. Gawd.

.....noted now re PMCG. I don't remember stuff without looking it up, sad. Still don't see why I can't get a quote to sell.

I'll go back and see where that is (Precious Metals Capital) in the history. Thanks.
