Member Info for LochinvarLass

Inanco, I raised that very same point. I was told three times it was 1 for 10. I'm just passing on the info I was given. I still have not received an email about it.

FYI I've done all my calculations as 4 for 51. I'm thankful I don't have to liquidate, especially ahead of an xd date announcement, and only need the money to be in the account on 12 August.

WTP - all you need to do is email them and make sure you have the fund in your account on 12 August.

IG: For those who have already subscribed for the full ISA allowance this year, you can either liquidate some to pay for them OR [make funds available in your trading account AND email them to to say you are taking up the ISA rights in your trading account] There are no fees involved.

Nope to all. I'm speaking to someone now. IG's process is to email them - they have confirmed they have actioned the email I sent last Thursday, though they haven't replied to me.

Evidently we all should have had an email already with the info, I'm getting mine resent.

I've been told the OO is 1 for 10 with the necessity to have the funds available to pay for them in the account on 12 August (there is no info on the site about how to pay for them).

I'm just checking whether I need to liquidate ISA positions to pay for the ISA rights or whether I can pay through the trading account and have them go there instead. (Already allocated my 20k this year.)

Time for a cuppa. . .

Neither has my son. Now on hold for 18 minutes.

FYI I looked up the process awhile back. You need to email / call them. Email hasn't been answered, and if you don't ask, I think you won't get. I will let them know that there are others expecting their fair share. ATB

I'm holding on the phone with IG to find out whether they picked up my email from last Thursday. I'd just like to find out if anyone else on a platform has not yet been notified of their open offer allocation. Feels like it might be awhile, so with the rain, I'm off to put on some booties and a fleece.

Good morning all,

Been busy writing this morning, just taking a break to make the first cuppa of the day!

Thanks for the great links this morning and yesterday. I will circle around later on to cross check whether they are in the .sp side of things - I've saved the last few days of chat to pdf to make it easier to search for them.

Whatever your strategy for life or trading, accept that you are doing the best you can. There are so many unknowns, but I hope more people in the future get their full number of days thanks to the scientists and medical professionals who do their best for us.

My son is a Chelsea fan, so I'm sure he'll be celebrating tonight too.

All the very best for tomorrow. Looking forward to a positive week.

Hello, only just signed in here today. Any chance you could contact me on Twitter?

Bunsie, Ivy was only indicating that I might be half a page or so ahead of where she is now in crypto - not in shares. In crypto, the catch phrases are DYOR and never risk what you cannot afford to lose.

My bad - I got all excited. Good job you'e en guard

Thank you for that advice. I will see if I can track down likely members in my limited spare time.

I much prefer Twitter groups to other platforms- I'm in a couple, including Covid, and of course writing.

Hi,

First of all, you qualify for the open offer (see the subscription info on the scancell site), so if you have the funds you can get 4 shares for every 51 you hold at 5.5 p. In theory, you should be able to sell your rights if you don't want to take them up (see the separate thread for the platforms which have posted whether the allocation has appeared).

As part of that, I suggest you read the recent RNS posts via the link above.

Cliff Holloway (CEO) is speaking on 30 July - you may want to listen to him before deciding what to do. https://twitter.com/Alexios1201/status/1286635581775249409

All the best with that - it's something I thought about setting up in 2000. You might want to combine Markovitz's Portfolio Theory adjusted for crisis impacts to modify the Fibonacci levels may get you that extra special bit.

In crypto their are systems which will let you exit after taking the continued rise, however, because any pod of orcas can crash as price, you need to take some care when setting them up. Please #DYOR on them.

Data is good. I collect daily data on about 25-30 shares. Most of my stuff can be done through Pivot charts to make them easier to read.

However, keeping abreast of new short term possibilities is key, which is why I asked if there was more of a gossipy news group.

My best "advice" is to keep stuffing the £20k / year allowance into an ISA and make the most of tax free allowances. I took breaks and I'm paying for that now. In the process of writing a wee book to help the next gen avoid my mistakes.

Thank you for those insights

It's been a long time since I studied Markowitz's and other's view of Portfolio Theory driving supernormal value in any market.

The crypto world uses Fibonacci extensively to evaluate, though I think most of the ETFs mostly use them to short.

And also remember that couples can pool their GCT allowance :)

Just offering this up for those who are interested in the testing aspect. I'm not going to post it in the links section, here are the key points which struck me.

Loss of smell, or anosmia, and of taste (or dysguesia) were early findings of studies and anecdotal reports from China when COVID-19 emerged there, and have been noted since in the United States, South Korea, Italy, Iran and France, among other nations.

“We now know that almost everyone who has COVID-19 has some degree of smell loss, at least early in the disease process,” Dr. Doty, said in a recent interview. “And we know that the most common cause of smell loss in the general population, aside from COVID-19, is from [other] viruses.”

Dr. Doty has been involved in a major study in Iran to measure loss of smell. Published in International Forum for Allergy and Rhinology in April, the study is a bellwether for objective studies of smell loss in COVID-19.

In this study, Dr. Doty and colleagues demonstrated that decreased smell function, though not always anosmia, is a major marker for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Notably, 98% of patients demonstrated some smell dysfunction. Fortunately, most individuals who lose their sense of smell to COVID-19 get it back within three to four weeks, a finding reinforced by studies initiated at the Perelman School of Medicine and elsewhere.

Mojen, I simply want to ask whether there is another group where short term possibilities are discussed in a coherent fashion. I'm not looking to become a day trader, just looking for good info with the hype I see in the crypto markets.

I'm trying to take up C7 advice from a few months ago and consider part of my holding as part of the my investment rollercoaster (buy the dip, sell at the rise).

Indeed stuffing them into ISA / SIPPs is very handy. Just wanted to point out that the CG threshold is now £12,300.

If a deal kicks in and investors cash out, remember it is a FIFO calculation, and adjust for inflation in the intervening years.

Dragon, WTP, Thanks for the link and the tweet references. I try to save all tweets mentioning scancell to a spreadsheet. I can now see see I'll need to broaden my search parameters for the weekend press.

C7 - someone else posted long before me about the CEO interview next week, but I REALLY struggle to keep scrolling back through to find the golden nuggets. Here is the Proactive tweet link: https://twitter.com/Alexios1201/status/1286635581775249409?s=20

Did everyone catch that Proactive Investors are hosting Cliff Holloway on 30 July? Hopefully that will tell us all more.

Have a good weekend all!
