Cobus Loots, CEO of Pan African Resources, on delivering sector-leading returns for shareholders. Watch the video here.
Hi guys. I mentioned a few days ago that my family have covid. I feel like I'm making steady progress now but worry that my partner is showing some worrying signs, mainly tightness across the chest and really bad breathlessness if she moves. I'm frustrated because she is 24 weeks pregnant has gestational diabetes and is 41 years old. I've been saying for months that she is vulnerable but the official health advice has been that she isn't so she has been going into school and that is where she caught covid. Yesterday she received a letter telling her that she is now classed as vulnerable and that she should shield. FFS.
I guess I'm looking for any advice for if she does have to go to hospital are there any tactics regarding getting her on the SNG001 trial? We are based near Huddersfield and I think possibly Bradford are running a trial? I guess they probably won't touch a pregnant person anyway but if anyone has some advice it would be gratefully received.
I’ve had covid now for the last 5 days which I caught from my partner who is a primary school teacher and my 3 year old also has it although she is asymptotic. It’s not much fun. There are now about 5 staff members at my partner’s school with it and another school in the area is infected. Last week I was on the phone to a guy in a completely different part of the country who had it because his daughter who is a teacher brought it into his house. Expect the rates to increase once the schools fully reopen.
Scooby, your one and only message on this board is to tell everyone you are going to sell out today. I think we know your game.
"So I guess this proves news does leak out of Synairgen as it seems to with any quoted company."
Not necessarily. It seemed to me yesterday that the price reacted to news that the Brazil virus might be evading vaccines.
I think someone is loading up under 2p. Difficult to get a quote to buy shares but they will take the same amount off you immediately.
It’s exciting times because we are expecting the issue to be sorted soon. From the results in September Eqt said that we will engage in direct commercial discussions with Aries. Whatever deal is done it doesn’t sound like a court case to me.
Hi Foxyjoe, I did exactly that, flipped 7% of my shares, I sold very easily but it took some time today to be able to buy back in which shows the demand is there. Still, after costs I made the grand sum of £30 profit! Ha ha!
JR, the Arden report in June forecast a net profit of 5.5m euros in 2021 growing to 8.5m euros in 2022 and since then we have had news regarding Carbon Sole, Greece, Southport and the Wood Group which could all significantly increase those estimates but on the negative side we have had delays due to Covid and the dubious Aries legal case. Plenty of upside from the current market cap of £50m with £10m in the bank.
No more competitive than Europe I wouldn't say, its the payment aspect that is the problem. However these kind of projects have a defined scope so in that respect the contract should be relatively simple and if they can arrange payment structures with low financial risk, i.e we receive payments upfront then I could be fairly comfortable with that. I would not like to see us charge headlong into the ME though, plenty more less risky opportunities out there.
I haven't personally been involved in our ME projects but there isn't the same level of legal support there that you have in the West and my understanding is that if a member of the ruling class decides that you are going to get paid x amount for your work that is what you are going to get. With Carillion they knew that they didn't have the cashflow and that if they delayed payment they could make them bankrupt and then get away with a lot of the debt. That is my take on it anyway, right or wrong. What I do know is that when I look at the financials of our ME projects they do not look good.
If EQT started projects in the Middle East I would be taking money out of this share. I work for an engineering company and it can take a very long while to get money back from projects here and exposure to the Middle East contributed in a big way to the failure of Carillion.
Presently UK death rates per million are slightly higher than the USA (if you believe the stats) but daily deaths in the US are around 800 per day whilst in the UK they are in the 60s so give it day or so and the positions will be reversed.

I believe GKP went from about 6p to £3ish. I think ISA means that EQTEC's share price will also similarly increase exponentially. EQTEC however are in exactly the right place for long term future growth whilst GKP operate in a declining industry in a country with major problems.
Is it the same Sebastian Marr who is Director of Hummingbird Resources?
That's some detective work J1JAH!
