I would have thought they would have made more of having a large investor whose significant holding could put the price into a tailspin - as mentioned earlier tonight, GSK have had dire articles written about them for having less than 12% of their stock own by "institutional investors" - hundreds/thousands of them.. Obviously different scale and all.

I agree. I just read that GSK has less than 12% total institutional investment in their shares. Vulpes still has over 16% on it's own and I don't think we will influence their behaviour. However, I would have though a steady rise, knowing that funding would need to be raised would have been a better short term strategy to get the most value out.

I don't know the reason for the sale, but the effect is that it will keep the share price low and unsteady knowing they can do it again at least many more times and will like encourage others to do the same. Even I've been tempted, even though it is not a natural behaviour for me...

Think I will go out and try to spot seals in the loch until it passes. I haven't seen the swans out in the past several days, so I assume they are nesting.

Indeed capitalism is about creating value.

I'm quite surprised that the only value they Vulpes saw was a 2p rise... not 20p, or 200p, or 2000p.... Particularly if this is part of their long term investment plan.

At this point, I'm not sure it will be useful to amplify on social media until their position is clarified.

I think it means the Vulpes is closely associated with M Diggle...

"person" can be an entity

Hope this helps

I bought in 2016 and had to sell in 2018. I've reinvested and intend to keep for the long term.

Very good news indeed.

I haven't had time to read up over the weekend and today, but it was lovely to see a second higher close.

spotted this - I haven't checked if it has already been posted https://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/918083/scancell-holdings-ceo-discusses-new-research-programme-into-coronavirus-vaccine-918083.html

I just posted on the Gates Notes Insider forum that the novel DNA vaccine and other innovations would help ... (innocent halo emoji)

Given the Gates foundation involvement in Africa, a DNA vaccine may be of interest. Where he leads, some smart people will follow.

I will put my hand up and restate that I've assumed they were doing something and may have been barred for disclosing their efforts.

I am glad to see the announcement - I'm more confident of the future with having this approach go public now so that the hype dies down by Monday.

He's right you know. If you inject people with disinfectant, they definitely won't die from #Covid19.

And every covid after that one. Still trying to get my head wrapped around it.

With their track record, I'm sure that the firm can create the right type of product.

What a great lift to the morning! I've been busy since 6am and only just logged in.

What caused the surge?

I'm glad Johnson survived. I wish everyone else had too.

The Greens, LD did not make the Government's policy to report only Hospital deaths. Even so, the UK accounts for 10% of ALL World wide CV19 deaths. Many put the true number at twice the Government's as a better approximation.

I am not sure, but I believe Johnson's downgrading of the "unprecedented" health crisis meant the Government is not legally culpable for the lack of proper equipment, and the deaths of those in the health service.

Other countries have implemented more stringent protocols and different treatments, providing a much better survival rate. We can choose to learn from them, or continue to have the third worst outlook on this situation (only just above Trump who seeks to profit from it, and the leader who still denies cv19 exists at all.)

I live is a rural area. I can tell you that some of the staff who come in to care for others in the community have been asked to wear masks, gloves, and at least an apron. Those staff are not supplied anything from their employer, and expect the vulnerable to a) supply it and b) to clean them/dispose of them. With visits up to 4 times a day, that simply isn't feasible without putting themselves at risk.

Besides those who are known, there have been a number of chancers - people driving up in vans, RVs, etc, breaking into private land to park up and sit it out. We have even had a few boats venture up our way, but the Clyde Bermuda Triangle of the Rich who have fled by sea is not anywhere I can see.

The NHS here is strapped - a decade of austerity has cut back on even essential services. The added pressure of those who if they were negative to start with, might have picked up germs on their journey would condemn many to die.

My view is that it is best to stay at home, wear a mask - a paper towel between a folded scarf or tee shirt is better than nothing. If you wear gloves whilst out and about, remember to wipe down everything you touch with them - keys, door handles, etc and take a good shower.

As a note, friends in London, who have been fastidious are both now not feeling well. They use a system of two fridges, and leave all dry goods to sit for four days. So many lives have been cut short, every single one of them is a tragedy.

My view is that there are many fewer false positives, but I'm not certain it will show immunity. However the positives could be used to determine a protocol for treatment with antibodies and give more people a fighting chance.

Online, the price I found for a CV19 test is £250. I have been given the name of a private doctor who will do theirs for £100 (swab plus prick test) - not FDA approved. I have a situation where it would be useful for me personally to know my status as well as members of my extended family.

I understand why they didn't put the reduce your personal expulsion range message at the beginning, to conserve stocks for health care prof.

Are we now at the point where it will be compulsory here, as it is elsewhere? If the Government hasn't been able to get enough tests, we know they won't have even a tenth of the masks they would need to make that work.

Which reminds me.... Does anyone know of any clothing manufacturers who could step up and make the surgical coveralls (usually disposable) and surgical gowns (which I'm told can be sterilised)? another looming shortage....

Doctors are now short of coveralls and surgical gowns. It seems to me that the profiteers have taken over in that space, but I don't know what the unit cost was before.

I don't know. I'm not sure any of us do. I remain hopeful.

Just saw that.. great way to start the day after a beautiful dawn.

Very interesting read and counters the assumption that CTs for cancer medications have stopped altogether. I would have thought that it is certainly worth leveraging Scancell's inventory in that vein to see if they could assist with immune system improvements during treatment options.

This is just a personal non scientific observation and not intended to influence trading.
