Is the SP hiccup due to this headline in todays Guardian(and elsewhere in the media ?
" Sajid Javid denies row with Treasury behind NHS backlog plan delay"
The backlog will have to be tackled ,the question is, how rapidly?
I am still a buyer of this stock but uncertainty always knocksany SP.

The price was buoyedxup before because small investors were lockedxoutcof the flotation.
Hence steady buying pressure keeping the prices high.
Now there is a correction the new buyers have been scared off and existing holders are getting rid!!
More downside potential come next week following today's routine and even more as interest rates go up.
Caveat emptor as they used to say!!!

Took the plunge and topped up Yesterday at 1228.87 . Bit of a risk due to volatility and missed the lowpoint . However still underpriced.
I am even more positive today since I phoned my GP and got an appointment without any trouble!! They had previously been rationing appointments severely due to running a vaccination centre from the surgery .
Repeated across the UK the flow of medical procedures will surely improve.

The-ve news is that COVID deaths are spiking and Private Hospitals have been put on stand by . Hence elective surgery is likely to tank. Simples.
however I remain along term holder and will add on the dips.

Following today's annual report presentation sp up significantly reflecting the huge opportunities for this company in recycling .

You haven't been to my local high street then. Since lockdown was lifted the area has become progressively busier despite the absence of foreign tourists. Primark is also packed with teens and early twenties buying multiple items
Of course brand snobs are welcome to pay 3 or 4 times as much along with other fashion victims!!

I hope you are right . The crackdown on bogus whiplash claims is certainly helpful. The reduction in mileage is also a factor.... I am not using the car today...because the town is gridlocked...due to a backlog of roadworks clogging the roads :-( !!!

Just took out motor insurance deal with SAGA on a 3year fixed price deal ....good price and fixed for 3years which seems great in these inflationary times.
Which leads me to question if SAGA needs to consider removing fixed price deals due to the very real risk of runaway inflation especially given the BOEs failure to hike rates by even the measly amount expected.
Still I expect SAGA have this on their radar so as to limit potential losses if repair and hire car costs increase dramatically.

In my opinion ,the Nanopore float has sucked funds out of the pharma market . Over the next few weeks as profits are taken this will fuel a rise in SN. The brokers will then recommend it and the retail punters will pile in too late after the SP has gone up to 1400 or so .

A new fat cat on board.
Is this good or bad for the SP?
Can the staff expect swingeing cuts?

Someone else now seems to agree with you..KKR.

Thats one place . My local shopping centre is still a shadow of Feb. 2020. Marks mostly empty even at peak periods ..especially clothing ....and footfall heavily depleted all round.
A few tourists from UK but still zero from overseas which in my area was a substantial number precovid. It will need for travel restrictions to go entirely before business even approaches normal levels.
I am still a long term holder of MandS as the shake out in retail should help them .
I live in hope!!

That's great ...for the drivers... but the company is still loss making and will be for years to come..
