Currently up 6 per cent - so Scout, still think the market has it right?

I think I was being a mite too pessimistic - I'll up my figure slightly to 0.62.

"As I said, I am not at all worried, maybe I didn't phrase it well."

Seeing as what you actually said at 11.44 was "But I am worried" I think you could say you didn't phrase it well ;-) - mind you we've all done it.

IMstaying - if there's a 10-1 consolidation, then instead of having, say, 100 shares worth 1 p each, you suddenly have 10 shares worth 10p each. You've not done anything, and the value of your holding does not change. So I first bought in here at 13p, but when calculating how my investment has grown I would work with a figure of 130p. You'll find people say they bought at 13p , because they actually did. You may also find people referring to their holdings or average in 'old money' because it's a mixture of old and new purchases, or just because they like to emphasise their LTH credentials maybe.

Intrigued by the potential here but with the spread currently around 25 per cent I think I'll wait a bit longer before taking the plunge.

'the question is do you believe them in a non RNS format' - it's not though. The question is do these unsubstantiated, nudge-nudge, tweets make other potential investors believe them, or do they make them sound like the kind of ramper who gets laughed at on these boards. I fear it's the latter. They really should keep quiet unless they've something worth saying, or it risks being counter-productive.

There was an extraordinary programme in the Dispatches slot on Channel 4 last night on the environmental cost of our digital lifestyles, and in particular the cost of data centres. Lots of remarkable facts (each time CR7 posts a photo to his 240 million followers it uses the same energy as 10 UK households for a year; 67 per cent of Amazon's profits come from data storage; 3 per cent of the UK grid already goes to data storage but in Ireland planned expansion of data centres could in a few years take it to 41 per cent). Have a look on the All 4 catch up service, but the key takeaway for SAE is that huge investment is needed in greener energy to power data centres - Amazon in particular is being pushed to maintain and expand its renewable energy plans. It's got to be an area we can contribute to.

Good heavens, I bought in here earlier this week at 1.94 but hadn't realised Itaconix was Revolymer. That was one of the first companies I ever looked into because I thought their promise of easily removeable chewing gum would be a money-spinner. At the time they were private and I lost track of the company when it didn't take off. It feels rather nice to be in now and to have strong confidence this is going to be a nice little earner.

About time someone mentioned "glowing in the dark" surely ? I'm on course to break even when we hit a sp of £18.

Could you explain what it means if "MMs use your shares"? And why would you want to stop it?

Looking at Scancell's sp charts, it seemed to take around a week after the announcement of their grant before their price started to rise. It then doubled in fairly quick time, but it's worth bearing in mind that if we do get a grant but don't get the immediate reaction many of you appear to think we will, it still might come along a bit later.

I wonder how many of the people complaining about the lack of fanfare over the launch are marketing people or otherwise part of the intended audience for our services? The impression I'm getting is that this £3m market cap company should have booked out the ad breaks in Coronation Street. Few if any customers will come across an rns (we'd issued one on 7 October covering the launch anyway). I wouldn't really expect to see any other specific promotional activity around the launch - if it did reach me it would be wasted effort anyway wouldn't it because I ain't buying what they are selling. I'm trusting they have strategies to reach those who are though.

Not overly dramatic but we are now at 52 week high, so hopefully there's more to come. We've lot of promising companies but I have always thought that Oxford Nanopore was key to ever getting a return here.

I'm going reasonably pessimistic - 0.42.

From memory I bought in here nearly 10 years back when the price was around 20p and we had visions of the desert turning into one big market garden as Arab princelings commissioned forward osmosis plants from Cairo to Basra. Well given how that turned out I'd more or less given up, but this is a welcome cat out of the bag. Still some way from getting money back but at least in with a shout now and, more importantly really, the new company may play an important role in fighting the virus.

As Fumbs explained, far more shares have been issued now - but also like many early-stage companies, the share price is based on future hope, not actual performance. It got to 30p because people got a bit carried away with enthusiasm as it moved to launch phase. When the hard reality of making a profit kicks in a people realise it will take years to make a profit, and then a couple of years more, and then there's difficulty with supply, and then there's problems with financing and more dilution, then there's a cyber attack, and then there's a virus and then they have to drop the price hugely to get a placing filled...well enthusiasm is harder to find. I bought in at 13p many years ago, but have averaged down as the price fell from 30p because I still feel the business could do really well if it can make it over the line to profitability.

I think you may be confusing megawatts and megawatt hours. The Gloucester site website states they produce 14.5 megawatts, as you say we will - eventually - produce 220.

"MWG have spent £20m on their technology and IP alone and therefore SP should be circa 4p without any revenue." Is that how it works then?

TRX? Well firstly I wish I'd sold at 30p! The recent narrative has been "rosy future if we can just eke out the money til profitability" - but breakeven has been staying resolutely on the horizon as we walk towards it. Sales have expanded but not really at the pace I was expecting - can't say I'm massively confident but did take a small amount more at the placing which I will keep in the hope I can sell next year to defray the loss on shares bought years ago.

Lots to read here and I'll give the report a close study later. I should probably let it go but I'm still dwelling on the Avacta sale. The company says it was all in line with their policies which they are sticking to even though 'With hindsight, the timing of this exit proved to be unfortunate, with the company's share price increasing significantly following announcement of COVID-19-related developments.'

But fortunately it was not all bad news. At the end of document we find out directors' personal holdings in portfolio companies and fortunately it appears Alan Aubrey decided to hold on to his 191,334 Avacta shares, gaining him an extra 200 grand since beginning of April . So that was nice. Interestingly he bought an extra 10 million in Tissue Regenix - presumably in that heavily discounted placing in May - I have reasons for hoping his instincts are correct on that one too.
