Bought in 12 years ago I think at around £1on . Held as it went down and down but have continued to buy more over the past 14 months on a very regular basis. Now have a huge holding by my standards and looking forward to the coming week.
Shares magazine out this morning has an article that is very negative on Novacyt. Ends the article with a sell recommendation. As holder with an average buying price around £10 I am very unsure what to do. The situation with the company looks very different now compared to 3 months ago.
Unbelievable! MyHealthChecked up 21.9% on the news and Yougene hasn't moved. Who is making the potential profit from this. It doesn't look as if the market thinks Yourgene is making much profit from it
Just to be a little less serious I have noticed that an Irish government minister has not got too bogged down in the seriousness of the situation and has shown a good sense of humour. Article from RTE.
"Santa Claus has been deemed an essential worker and will not be subject to Covid-19 travel restrictions when he arrives in Ireland next month. Minister of Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney confirmed the Government's decision to the Dáil in a move that will be met with relief by children across the country. Mr Coveney told TDs that Santa Claus has now confirmed to the authorities his intention to fly to Ireland on December 24 as usual. However, he warned that children should remain in their beds on the night as there was a need for Santa to socially distance. "As Minister for Foreign Affairs we've been working on the Santa Claus issue for a number of weeks now," he said. He added: "It's important to say to all children in the country that we regard Santa Claus's travels as essential travel for essential purposes and therefore he is exempt from the need to self-quarantine for 14 days and should be able to come in and out of Irish airspace and indeed in and out of Irish homes without having to restrict his movement. "But I am assured that children should not stay up at night because he does need to social distance and so people need to keep at least two metres away at all stages to make sure that we keep him safe and indeed children as well. "So he's exempt, he's coming, he's confirmed that, and he appreciates the fact that Ireland has ensured that in a very, very different Christmas in 2020, the visit of Santa Claus will be something that will remain consistent."

Your quite right MPD. Really depressing that Aim is a Casino rather than a serious investment market.
"Well done all who held long term" You have to be joking!!!
Absolutely disgusted with the buyout. As I recall this price is almost exactly the same price as the IPO price which I bought into and have supported the company ever since. I would have expected better of the board.
Absolutely terrible presentation. Very disappointed. I have a fairly sizeable holding, added to this morning, and hope that the market gets over this investor presentation and that real news is forthcoming fairly soon
Of course I know all about affimers. I merely posted what I thought was an interesting item about other companies attempting to produce spit tests. I listened to the Interim results live and read the RNS on the Bams research test and I have as much faith, as I am sure you do, in our chief executive and the performance of Affimers.
Quote from todays New York times
E25Bio and OraSure, two companies pursuing rapid at-home coronavirus tests, have abandoned efforts to use saliva in their products. Their tests, which detect pieces of coronavirus proteins called antigens, will for now rely on shallow nose swabs instead.
“If I was placing a bet — which I am, because I’m leading an antigen-based testing company — I would say it’s going to be very difficult for antigen-based testing to work on saliva samples,” said Bobby Brooke Herrera, an E25Bio founder and its chief executive. The notion that the virus sets up shop in the mouth and produces enough antigen to be picked up by today’s technology, he said, “is far-fetched.” This is not deramping. I have held Avacta since 2012 and have increased my holding to a very substantial amount over the past 12 months. Still very hopeful for Avacta over the coming few months f
