Please do filter me BB, I have been the same since May and I'm not going to change. The only difference now is that my outlook on GDR was proven correct whilst yours was not.
If you don't see a problem in comparing the fortune of a company back in February to a company now, given all of the events in between, then you really can't be helped.
Right, so you are comparing a time (mid February) where there was huge positive sentiment around diagnostics companies to a time when the sentiment is the opposite due to the fact that vaccines are now being distributed.
Do you think there is a flaw at all in that comparison?
I think it's just semantics. I certainly don't say anything that is unreasonably negative (or positive). I just question the claims that people make and ask for evidence or clarification. I care about what is accurate given the current situation regardless of whether the outcome is positive or negative.
So when someone claims that sales are now coming because of today's RNS, I say no, there is no evidence of that. You might make a positive assumption which turns out to be correct but how many positive assumptions have worked out with GDR so far?
Given historically how wrong the 'positive' posters have been, why wouldn't you welcome people that challenge their assumptions?
The part where we have had the approval to sell in 10's of countries for months but haven't sold a lick?
The part where we are now trying to sell without approval?
The part where we gained large sales during the peak of the pandemic in terms of sentiment?
It really isn't a game changer. It's a declaration of a change in strategy which may or may not yield results.
The game changer comes in the form of a sales RNS.
