There will be plenty of churn for people to take profits as and when they like, it will not hold back the inevitable direction of this.

87.2 to still the lot... it's still a big no way

I love how Colin King has played this. Knew he didnt need to big them up and put rampy content out there. Just quietly get on with things, casual little interview on sky news and then bang RNS (assuming to follow)

drop news in next 2 trading sessions £1.50 easy target imo

I think you have to throw the valuation models out the window for a bit. AVCT has shown that.
It's government backed, there is no other product out there that can touch this if they deliver what they promise and production numbers will far outway anything they have ever delivered. They have no debt to speak of, a well run existing business and they will put the free cash flow to great use to further establish the business.
They will sell as many as they can produce whether to the government or elsewhere. Let Abingdon sell to the government at the discount price and we will sell elsewhere at a premium!!
I certainly think short term £250m mcap is very achievable and could happen on one RNS. Longer term, we need to see continued max capacity throughput, and it depends on how the pandemic unfolds and what Omega do with the free cash flow. UK diagnostics is prime investment space at the moment. Sky is the limit.

Don't start thanking anyone and celebrating yet... we havn't achieved anything yet. Wait until design freeze, orders, cash flow, when you and your neighbours all have one of these tests and were helping not just our country, but the world beat this pandemic.
Fair play to traders, a decent gain today. But a lot of newbies thinking its more fashionable to trade and dip in and out and celebrate a successful trade, missing out on a huge opportunity.

new high!

You dont go on sky news to discuss tests to be available for the public that are still weeks away.

I was really expecting news might be a couple of weeks off yet, but with being on sky news today, im now thinking its very close.

TBH starting to actually get a bit excited now!!
Takeaways, lab tests for NHS workers, POC test for everyone else including care homes. He did say they are developing an app to work along side it and it could be used with or without it. Price to be confirmed, sub £10 to government.

This is really starting to gain some traction now.

Watching Colin King on Sky news.... talking about POC tests and an APP!!!! Boom

Current price:
Sell 58.07
Buy 58

58.3 to sell the lot.... add a 2 on the front might have a think

There are enough clues out there but in case you missed them:

Prof John Newton advising against buying over the counter tests and to wait for a better one coming soon
Advised labs not to analyse the Superdrug or other tests of this type
Consistent messages that end of May/early June would be the expected coming of age date
Omega scaled up production facility with an urgent build completed in one week, target 5/600k tests per week
Recruitment of over 20 staff with a plan to go to 24/7 shift patterns
Consortium partners scaled up production and recruiting staff
Consortium partners been tweeting about lateral flow tests
Consortium partners tweeting about their data capture applications
Governments 5th pillar to grow a world leading diagnostics industry fit for the future
Sir Jon Bell saying in interview we expect to have the gold standard test selling millions in the UK with global demand
Plans for certification of immunity
RTC progress mention during recent press conference
Further recruitment in RTC and partners such as Ciga
Message shared from Omega - design freeze weeks not months (i believe 2-3 weeks ago) and progress going well
Further relaxations of lock down measures coming over the coming weeks
Track and trace due 1 June, confirmation from the Welsh government that logging of test results will be an add on
No other self test kit of any noteworthy approval
Amazon and Boots on stand by for distribution

I am sure i have missed a few things, but if this isn't enough you have high expectations!

Double up you are double wrong imo

Test track and trace will have an add on to log test results. I am not sure if this will be from day 1 but it will come.

Oxford are not the lead on this, Abingdon Health are the lead with input from other members.
