The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring financial educator and author Jared Dillian has been released. Listen here.
There is so much positivity once again. Such a welcome return to times past. We have a rough timetable and product releases, which should hopefully bring is near old highs and possibly beyond. Trying to keep grounded, but its hard not to dream with everything this company is doing. With so much money in the bank takeover targets and the timing is the biggest wild card. Soooo excited to see what we come up with. There is always the possibility of growing organically.
In my view we will hear lots from the company by then. The time line allows for the DHSC situation to be resolved 1 way or the other, new products launched and a more accurate outlook to be given. Sensible I think, and at least we have a date for the accounts now.
All this is before the airline industry fully opens up again also. I personally think it should stay shut until we see the result of the release of lockdown over the next 2 months, but that isn't going to happen. BJ has made many bad decisions, as well we know, and he can add that 1 to the list.
Cases in India OFFICIALLY at 90,000 a day but believed to be much higher, and rising exponentially. It is a reminder to us all not to get complacent. Cases in this country will go up now that we are out of lockdown, time will tell if it is to a manageable level. For my part not going to assume the vaccine is going to change things by itself. Diagnostics are here to stay, for this and future situations. This is our first line of defence now. This war is the biggest battlefront of my lifetime for sure.
Porky, definitely interesting to know from the end of year accounts when they are finally released what has been spent on R&D. I would like to think that they may have a few side projects going on quietly, maybe just wishful thinking. 1 thing is for sure, I applaud the speed at which we produce from concept to production, many companies small and large will be looking with envy.
As a longterm holder definitely get a lot of flack here. Not sure why, my investment here is just as important as someone who invested 2 months ago. Whilst there has been disappointment recently, if you told me where we would be in 13 months time I would definitely have been sceptical at the level of sales that we have achieved. All it goes to show is there is no limit to the capability of this company. For my part at least, looking forward to previous highs and beyond. Not sure how long it will take but my investment is going nowhere. I wish I could add, but maxed out.
Well, many new faces on here. To be honest with what's going on it isn't hard for the flies to circle. Hopefully GM can put the rubbish out, then we can have a spring clean. It's in your hands GM. People have put faith in you, show us is wasn't misplaced. For me, a non covid play would be good. Don't even need to go all in. Now is the time.
Agreed Porky. Now DHSC is COMPLETELY stripped out of share price, and then some, any change of heart or big orders give even more significant positive movement. Not downplaying what they have achieved or what they can achieve, hence the extra investment. Obviously waiting to see what really happened, it's hard to make judgements whilst the information isn't available but whilst negotiations are ongoing I understand why this is the case.
To get the negatives out of the way I also agree that this didn't have the infrastructure that a company this size should have in the form of the senior positions capable of dealing with the fast expansion. On the other hand this problem has been and continues to be addressed and I also acknowledge the rapid rate of expansion which has caused the issues. In my belief the positive senior positions filled and the expansion of the network puts us in better stead for the next stage, that ambition still being a mid cap company. Looking forward also to the future products, then the 1s after that. This company is adapting with the times, as you have to in a fast changing market.
I don't like doing this but just want address the elephant in a cat suit this 1 time. I will agree with you, yes AGREE, once again that the company has been very poor in communication. Ironically enough they aren't good at ramping themselves on any positive aspects so any negatives seem all the worse. I also agree that an alternative opinion, if stated as opinion, should be allowed. When it isn't accepted is if the poster acknowledges only the negatives of a company and not the positives. If it were a relationship, and it is with peoples hard earned cash, people will think why are you 2 still together then. Porky IS a ramper, and a dreamer. This company has been built by with investments from dreamers. In this relationship many are thinking we are a going through a rough period, but we have had good times and choose to believe that we will again. If I could see no potential in this relationship, and couldn't see any positives in the present, I would move on to the next 1. Going nowhere, this company still looks pretty to me.
Got to be honest, I may be classed as a ramper. If the definition is to say something positive about the company that you are invested into whilst not spreading lies or disinformation and occasionally giving an opinion which is clearly stated as an opinion then yep. Happy to admit it.
Well, gonna sign off and see what the next few weeks offer. In the meantime police van outside mine, their presence ain't very common around here. Methinks the pubs opening have got something to do with it. I really hope people behave even a little bit responsibly. If they don't, great for share price. Shares aside, would really like to contain this virus once and for all.
Totally agree Wilson. I can't add anymore if I wanted, and I do. Maxed out and will see how this 1 plays out. Just shy of 4000 shares. Sure as hell aint selling at these prices or anywhere near. I started out with nothing, will leave this world with nothing. What have I got lose, nothing. Forgive the Monty Python sketch. Nerve racking times, but been here before. Not going anywhere.
Just a reminder to all the gloaters out there who hold other diagnostic stocks. If it is the case that DHSC didn't hold up their end of the bargain then it is right and proper that GM doesn't presently air this publicly but does fight his corner. If he doesn't, any1 with a contract beware. That's why the other stocks are tracing back a bit also, it effects us all.
