Certainly not Vial, probably the cleaning products made by Tristel plc another Aim company with great prospects.(I do have a small investment in Tristel)
Someone seems to have spent in excess of £1,800,000 open 680,000 shares today in two hits of 340,000. Someone positioning themselves for the vote at the General Meeting?
Thanks once again JeremyCC. As has been said on this viard earlier SAG do seem to work thèse takeovers on the bas is of slowly slowly catchey monkey. Incidently, it does make a change to have a civilised conversation on one of thèse blogs so thanks for that also.
Thank you very much JeremyCC for the info. As a matter of interest where did you find that info. It looks as though there are several sources of chunks of shares that SAG could negotiate to buy in the coming months if they feel so inclined.
Canchat you mention the other large shareholder. I am a bit bemused that I cannot find any reference to the large shareholders in the Investor section of Ricardo's website. I'm sure it must be there somewhere and I can't just see it. Every other company I am invested in shows the larger shareholders on their websites. Any one able to help?
Less than 7 years ago the share price of Ricardo was £10.75. In last few weeks it has been as low as £2.17 and in the past year it has been as high as £5.30(but only for a few days). The only reason the price has increased in the the past week is because of Science group's interest. This complete erosion of value of the company over these years is down to this clearly incompetent board. If we don't like what Science group is doing then we can sell now. If it comes to vote I will certainly vote to get rid of this current board
A belated thank you Timster for posting the Twitter link last night. I lost my connection immediately after looking at the link so was unable to thank you then. Some interesting posts this morning(and some drivel)
Avacta's problem could be other tests problem11 Jan 2022 10:13
A friend of my wife started showing symptoms a week ago. She has been testing with a govt supplied LFT every day since. Negative every day until today when she has tested positive. clearly she now has a very high viral load and the LFT has finally picked it up. Her daughter who also showed symptoms a week ago has exactly the same experience. This would lead one to suspect that many of the tests currently being used have exactly this same problem. Have we heard anything about this from the govt, the regulators, or the media - have we hell!! Usual cover ups. The only people with the moral fibre to front up about this are Avacta. Well done AS. Incidentally I am currently sitting on a 47% loss having bought regularly over the past 12 years or so.
Have to agree with chrispjones. Avacta staff are entitled to time off over this Christmas and New Year period. Having just driven past Avacta's Cambridge lab I can confirm it is closed up with no cars in the car park. I'm sure that they will be back working hard as usual next week
