As we appear to be treading water at present, I am curious to know what % of other posters' portfolio value comprises of NCYT. I have 22% but it was obviously substantially higher when we topped £11.

Just noticed it is 2020 news!

This is from the french Facebook.

What announcements can we expect between now and full year results due end April? There should be a RNS re LAMP in Q1 and hopefully an announcement re any extension to DHSC contract but can anyone think of any other potential communications?

Looks as if Brexit problems may be souring the market yet again. Last weekend, the Road Haulage Association (RHA) said exports to the EU had fallen as much as 68% since 1 January due to Brexit border hold-ups. But the government has said freight movements are now close to normal levels, despite the Covid-19 pandemic. On Monday, Cabinet Office Minister Michael Gove told a committee of MPs that the RHA's claims were "erroneous" and "based on a partial survey". I am inclined to believe the RHA who have a finger on the pulse on these matters with feedback from thousands of Logisitcs concerns across the country. Now the CEO of JD. Sports is thinking of building a large central warehouse in the EU to get round all the problems. Parts of the fishing industry are at a standstill due to onerous paper work. Who would believe bumbling Boris's pack of lie!. However, these may prove the least of his problems as he could go down in history as the PM responsible for the break up of the United Kingdom and the legislation change here would make Berexit look like a picnic in the park. Hopefully NCYT will not land in this morass and at least help solve some of its problems.

... is bound to catch the eye of the Media so expect some publicity at long last albeit of the wrong sort!

Time to eat some humble pie Pork9. Many of us are taking a hammering -- I certainly am but derisory comments about SP may force him to stop his so useful work on our behalf. There is mention of him selling up in April but by then I suspect his patience will have been rewarded handsomely. I think he has retired so what's the point of simply accumulating money. He probably, like me, wants to relax away from all this once he has seen his family ok.

Baldingquickly: The Government's support considering the accuracy and utility of COVID-19 lateral flow tests (LFT) in screening asymptomatic people, as a pilot field study indicated sensitivity is less than 40%

AIM-listed biotechnology group Omega Diagnostics is one of three British firms that has been picked to rapidly scale up production of lateral flow Covid tests
But the Government has doubled down on its commitment to them and they are seen by some as a key tool in getting Britons back into offices, as workers could be regularly screened.
The lateral flow tests are particularly helpful because they do not need to be sent off to a laboratory and can provide a result in 30 minutes.
Ministers hope Omega and two other groups, Global Access Diagnostics and SureScreen, can together produce up to 2m of these tests per day for the UK, according to reports in the Financial Times. The move would reduce the UK's reliance on devices shipped in predominantly from the US and China.
Omega confirmed in an announcement to the stock market yesterday that it is modifying its Scottish plant to 'upscale significantly' its lateral flow test production. It said it will release a further update once any contracts have been signed.
Omega Diagnostics was among a clutch of rapid responders to the Covid pandemic and saw its shares surge in value by more than 350 per cent last year.
Its value soared by another 32.4 per cent, or 22.5p, to 92p yesterday as shareholders crossed their fingers that the rumoured deal will get over the line.

Brackets 14. As you say the competition is hotting up. I understand NCYTs LAMP test becomes available Q1 so we should hear within a few weeks. Pity we do not enjoy the same publicity from The Times but I guess this is down to our lack of PR expertise.

I work closely (on a voluntary basis) with a group of impoverished Africans whose lives are a misery at the best of times due largely to a totally corrupt govt. They have been under a dusk to dawn curfew for months now but there is little likelihood of receiving vaccinations this year and they are afraid. Their govt. have decided THEY should be first in line and the masses should expect to pay for any vaccination -- this, when many families try to survive on 5 -10$ a week!

... could anyone hazard an educated guess when/if GM is likely to issue an RNS with more meat on the bone?

... for this company for many years, I remain confident what with its very forward thinking strategy that it will grow from strength to strength. I doubt many ULVR employees will be selling. Have a look at yesterday's Bloomberg interview with the CEO: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/videos/2021-02-04/unilever-ceo-sees-faster-growth-in-sustainable-brands-video

The way things are shaping up, it may soon be a case of - 'Arise Sir Shaun' but clapping one evening may be going overboard! :)

brookr2144 -- Most of us have been where you are at some time or other with 100 x dicier shares than NCYT and many will be suffering a loss. However, with this concern we are talking about a very difficult kettle of fish so it's worth hanging on for another month or so to see what develops. If you cannot sleep at nights then best to bite the bullet as life is too short but imagine the disappointment should the share take off. If you decide to hold on, just do not be too greedy but take the profit -- you will sleep far better and be at peace with yourself! Good luck.

At last! RNS should arrive any day now!

I suspect we will be 'treading water' for the next week or so which has turned my thoughts to potential NCYT acquisition(s) which I think GM has touched on several times given our war chest. IT- IS proved a canny buy so what other areas do some learned posters think he might pursue particularity with a view to diversifying the company as looking ahead, Covid may not always be the goose that lays the golden egg and I am sure he would not want to put all his eggs into one basket. I have already said I hold Synairgen (SNG) a prospective respiratory drug which did not suffer anything like our catastrophic SP drop as its product could work wondesr for other illnesses like asthma etc. Thoughts appreciated.

Good point B2H.

... the SP will take a other knock this morning owing to latest AZ vaccine news. I am not now convinced the future of NCYT is as rosy as some suggest unless the company diverse into other diagnostic areas. Hope I am proved wrong.

.. did his bit in more ways than one for his country and it must have saddened him greatly to see it on the verge of breaking up or not far from it. A quiet gentle man who put these so called cringe worthy celebs. to shame. People like HIM are the backbone of the nation and cut through the sham of so much modern day living. He is an example to us all.
