... seemingly with this tweet. There has been a steady drip drip of information recently re new products and appointments so much so, that one senses this is soon likely to culmination into an explosive RNS - possibly Tuesday.

Wow! This is a highly meaningful appointment. Glad I bought final tranche today!

... to the new tax year ISA which will hopefully generate lots more buys especially if current abysmally low price is maintained. Time to switch off soon and enjoy this long rather special weekend. Still have that sneaky feeling we will enjoy a 7am RNS on Tuesday.

... this year's ISA is maxed out so wondering whether to buy more NCYT late tomorrow in the hope that the SP will have fallen back into its customary drunken stupor - then B & B on Tuesday courtesy the new tax year ISA. OR wait until Tuesday then buy in the hope that the SP will be given a massive tree shake by our MM friends. However, I just have a sneaky feeling that GM might spring a RNS on us 7am Tuesday when all hell will be let loose. Decisions, decisions...

He bought some shares soon after his arrival which have since plumbed the depths. Perhaps he spends much of his time bemoaning this fact to GM and the lack of an RNS?

Hopefully later next week from a new ISA tax year perspective. There could be quite a flurry of activity.

Exciting contract seemingly!

Mind you, I would settle for £15.27 :)

Does not make for particularly happy reading! https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http:%2F%2Flinks.info.ii.co.uk%2Fels%2Fv2%2F~Nz7J4k639t2%2FZHRtMXZ0VGk3cHRTUXFYaU5rN2FCaTRBTEJtQzB2bUpCY0ZSQ3ZXREVNQk9BY3dqR3A1czNxc3JHQW94Sm5sTGJPeXJRSURmaytqUWx0djVLbDdlczA0QTJsVXB6YjN3SXRFNks0UmRFOHM9S0%2FRnNnYmNKTTZHSHJ0bkx5V2pvS2ZCSy9MUFRJd29XU2liOURKWnV3Y0xLeEpSOTlVbjJYZkZqTzMxMVFNYW1seEFzNEdNVmdKQjY2ZnZPdVNacW9tRVdwa2EvOFY0SW1CS0&data=04%7C01%7C%7Cee42fda0a05148e9e08d08d8f3902219%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637527147664433886%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=DIYVJCRM2eyQIyV0oZ7FFvjxdgdPCcI6hDZ3fWnwXrw%3D&reserved=0

... NCYT which I hold in addition to SNG is also taking a hammering with SP down 40% from high. NCYT has several hundred million in the bank and massive revenue pouring in each day and innovative products being launched - yet shenanigans appear have been going on behind the scene for months. This will continue until Q2 update and like SNG, the company are extremely tight lipped to the frustrations of shareholders. I topped up with SNG yesterday-- just wish I had waited until today! It's the waiting game -- best to get out and enjoy the sunshine whilst it lasts!

Possibly McDonald's?

.. . I am a little frustrated at the long wait for the next 'meaningful' RNS. Having said that, I am excited and very impressed at NCYT's rate of expansion on numerous important fronts not only in the UK but also in the world at large. Am I correct is thinking that NCYT has the potential and is well on the way to becoming one of the world's leading specialist diagnostic companies? I had thought of cashing in around £12 -£14 a share but the way things are going this could be worth holding on to for a few years.

Problem is you cannot force people to be vaccinated -- we are not China! So we may have to live with this ticking time bomb for a while!

I am uncertain what % of the UK population are still refusing to be vaccinated against Covid. - at a guess between 10 and 20%. Surely when things return to 'normal' with many restrictions lifted and people return to their workplace, there will be considerable pressure from Employers AND employees who HAVE been vaccinated to ensure tests are carried out and perhaps even made compulsory. Nova's mobile testing units could enjoy a rich harvest in this situation.

... to top up at these levels today. Monday would be a good day for an uplifting RNS especially with it being a short week. Ever the optimist!

Thanks for comments chaps. Meza1 - I have actually written a few stories over the years -- just a hobby. There are so many interesting characters on this forum although some are play acting I suspect. Airlineboy - why don't kids have bells on their bicycles. They are simple, cheap and effective!

... Another lacklustre day with one’s portfolio almost sunken to an all time low. Too much screen watching so I had to get out despite the rain and hordes of schoolchildren intent on mowing me down. I wonder what sort of world we are leaving them – certainly nothing like my halcyon days living near a wild part of the country. Sadly most will never enjoy that carefree life and the imaginative play that went with it. My imaginative streak has never left me and as I plodded home, thoughts of our film chat late yesterday loomed large – my latest contribution being : The Day the Earth stood still (1951) shades of a huge silver flying saucer hovering in the background with NCYT emblazoned in huge letters on the side or was this the latest GM creation! I pondered a new cast for the film – first choice for hero Klaatu would have been VanV but he is away on a sabbatical but Shaunp is a safe pair of hands. No problem with Gort – enter Porky9 and the lead female role of course falls to Kaeren a caring mother - to be continued. Who said life was boring!

crl122 You are a very sensitive soul so please try to relax and smell the roses and get life into perspective as I, like a few others I suspect are just a little concerned in the nicest of ways. I think I may have mentioned that I try to support some impoverished African families. Got a message from one family who have just been evicted from their little hovel. They do not have a bean and nowhere to go. This puts life into perspective for me at least when I get riled up about something as they have no support... Zilch. Have a nice evening and I suggest give NCYT a rest before it destroys you. Best wishes.
