Sales, marketing and pr are not.
The communication is appallingly bad.

as all Covid stocks are down again, that partly because of HMG's reticence about contracts but more so because of the much hyped “we are emerging from lockdown” message, that there is ( a much mistaken ) belief that Covid is over.
Am I misreading this ?
I think perception is so badly wrong that it’s hard to understand the mindset behind it - yet here we are.

and more so our collective ar*es for the great communication last week.
Fundamentals are good, need still there, we apparently have a great contract with Beckman.
All hangs on FDA and other regulatory authority and consequent sales contracts.
Come on David earn your salary before all of ours is gone !

Good post YUYUS not tutus - autocorrect having fun again.

Good post tutus
My average is 83p so slightly underwater but still holding and haven't sold any.
With hindsight a top slice anywhere over £1.20 would have been sensible but expectations ( greed ? ) suggested a much better price was achievable. Like many back down to Earth with a crash and, at least for now several thousand ponds less in the portfolio. That said this is only one of several Covid stocks I hold and while others may do better for now I still think there is a reasonable return to be had here so I'm sticking.
Can't believe the mess regulators find themselves in creating the delay to authorisation that is maybe the biggest problem we have - but that could change any day. Changed my expectation to expect news in Q2 and at least a good lift in sp, to levels recently seen, by say June.
Will review then. Meanwhile half my portfolio is in funds, some cash and also 3 or 4 punts, ECR, HE1, AEX and SCIR ( both long term very frustrating but potentially good returns from their current sp ).
After getting my fingers burnt by SXX last year lessons firmly learnt are not too many eggs in one basket, balance risk, always keep some cash and no more than 25% on the risky punts !
GLA LTH as always no advice intended and do your own research !

PI fear has given the MM,s another excuse to squeeze this more 117 to 65 in less than 2 trading days is well oversold.
The Beckman Coulter deal and Hearing Loss test are both looking like good opportunities, but lack of regulatory authority and any solid sales are doing this company terrible damage.
Holding - and will top up if it continues to slide, but this is looking like a slow burner at best now and possibly just a punt unless something positive happens fast.

maestro so he should it’s hardly a roaring success ( yet ) is it.
Disappointed - especially with regulatory authorities everywhere who obviously can't cope, don't seem to have any sense of urgency and seem unable to provide the service they are set up to deliver.
Bit of a s*it show all round.

The presentation makes it clear the market is there and at least one product is unique.
I think the share will recover in time to give a decent return from this level.
Not ideal, we really need approvals and contracts but Budd knows that.
Bottom drawer for now with cheap top ups when available.

Seen it all now.

I wouldn't mind giving it a damned hard kick.

Er ..... No.

Everything seems to be taking a pasting today.
This one more illogicaaly thna most it seems to me.
Doesn't alter the fact its down 1.5p over the last few days sadly - still holding.
GLA

the reason (according to sharecast)
"London stocks had extended losses by midday on Thursday as investors eyed the EU vaccine summit, amid ongoing concerns about a third wave of Covid-19."

all markets about 1% off since 11:00 - the news according to sharecast
"London stocks had extended losses by midday on Thursday as investors eyed the EU vaccine summit, amid ongoing concerns about a third wave of Covid-19."
Same story in Europe.
Will it pick up ? F'd if I know anymore.

( with GDR far the worst ) - all in all a very trying - bloody expensive, day.

19th thanks it does - no surprise the sp is flat at those levels, but if it was with buys twice sells I would be ( even more ) worried.

London Stock Exchange shows 7.7m with most recent trades all 84p plus (so apparently buys).

2.2m buy 0.9m sell
Vol on HL 7m + where are the other 4m shares ?
Can anyone see a total on L2 and is there any indication whether the buy sell ratio is actually 2 to 1 in favour of buys !

Sky any theory as to why ?

And will we ever find out ? It’s almost as if ( probably to cover their own backsides ) somebody in government is making the transparent ordering processes as invisible as they can.
The pandemic will be history before we find out out what is what at this rate.
