... lots of buys today albeit mostly modest sums. I have a gut feeling we have reached a turning point in this concern with such a tremendous solution to waste - am really surprised it has not received more state backing!

Yourgene forum virtually dead but notice three million plus buys went through between 11.40 and 4pm.

PS.I should have added protection levels of those below 70 will have reduced considerable by October I imagine and I cannot see the younger element exactly clamouring for a booster and that goes for flu also -- they have probably had enough jabs and want to forget about it and therein lies the danger.

Gizmo - In some cultures the blue moon was considered - 'fortunate, something to celebrate, and a perfect time to start a long-term goal or make plans for the future'. Given my age, I am not too happy re long term goals aspect as I would like to see a decent return in my lifetime to justify all the time wasted looking at this forum :) Being optimistic, I would like to see us crack a £1 by year end and we all know how this share can take off. I think Covid still lurks uneasily in the back of many peoples minds and numerous folk are still suffering from long Covid. I will certainly buy some LFT's -- provided they are ours. This govt. are staying remarkably quiet about the disease as I guess it's the last thing they want to discuss having enough major problems on their plate without worrying the public and after all, an election is not far away. This warm spell could change dramatically next month like last year when we faced a long miserable winter.

...may be turning. Hopefully we have passed our all time low period and this is traditionally a dead time of the year market wise. Yourgene has added some much needed excitement - and boy don't we need that! September is just round the corner and vaccinations for the elderly kick off again early October. Unless there is a late bid, I suspect Ygene will be part of the family by year end. I like their website -- quite punchy compared to Nova so hopefully we will have the sense to use their expertise as we are abysmal in this area. Then we roll into 2024 with all that entails on the DHSC dispute with the chance of an earlier settlement than expected. Also, I would not rule out another acquisition sooner then later and our BoD may have woken up and been stung by the merciless criticism from shareholders. Our delayed AGM takes place end October. It does not take much to change market sentiment especially if there is talk of peace on the Ukraine front -- so many balls in the air. I could be naive but it has been an exceptionally horrid time of late and as I said, the tide might just be turning!

Thanks Kaeren - encouraging to hear that but frustrating that Nova appear SO reluctant to broadcast this information. They are hopeless at blowing their own trumpet -- wonder if ygene could add anything to this important side of the business -- they cannot possibly be worse!

Anyone know what progress in terms of sales Nova are making on Pathflow LFT's - are we in the game to any extent on this front or still heavily dependent on Chinese massive stocks?

Interesting post simmulla -- thanks for posting. I have actually noticed quite a few people locally recently wearing masks and know of several Covid cases. Friends in Zimbabwe also inform me that being their 'winter' Covid is on the increase.

Nice to hear you and son are still alive and kicking Airline Boy -- it's almost like old times but still a very long way to go yet!

... to have some GOOD news for a change although it has been ages coming! I concur with others that it augurs well for a settlement of the DHSC dispute perhaps sooner than later and the market seems to agree!

Not sure what to make of the various reports but am grateful to those who made the effort. One question that puzzles me. With so little seeming activity, what exactly does our CEO do all day -- other than wait in anticipation for his massive monthly salary. It's a serious question. He is certainly not spending much time communicating with his shareholders and the way things are dragging on, seems to be in the fortunate position of holding a job that will possibly pay him until retirement. Not a bad life eh!

... that I have become very cynical these past few months. I often wonder what still drives RM and co. who so often appear to be swimming against the tide. Is it force of habit year after year or do they still see that Holy Grail on the horizon but always beyond reach. Are they still concerned about improving patients' lives and possibly going down in medical history or has the job just become routine like so many other jobs - offering an extremely generous salary, with travel to favourable parts of the world and a nice ticket to retirement. How much job satisfaction do they get or do they secretly think this work, like so many in the space age will continue many years after they have passed. Theirs is almost a privileged world with seemingly little pressure from shareholders certainly none from PI's who have never, to my knowledge been offered an apology for an abysmal performance. Answers on a post card! Like a few others, I possibly spend too much time on this forum and it's one commodity where I have little left so it's time to take a break and return end of year - if I'm still around!

Looks as if we are stuck with Wakefield as CEO with no hint of a replacement. At least his bank balance will remain healthy unlike PIs!

What a surprise! Another long wait by the look of things. Humbug!

Have given predicting SP. This time last year was soul destroying so have adopted the attitude not to expect much so as not to be too disappointed. All said and done, RM is a disgrace and I would sorely like to see. him challenged on his almost complete lack of communication with PIs. A smooth talker and personable man but we could do better, much better!

Kaeren. I agree wholeheartedly with your summing up. As Dominic Raab would say, a 'woeful' performance and I can't think of a more appropriate word. Sadly, I fear the worst this week with the climate similar to last year. What a disaster of a BoD. One would almost welcome GM back!

The_Paladin. My view exactly! I feel certain had the Company a smidgen of good news to announce they would have done so long before now via a RNS. Nothing has been forthcoming so I fear it's more jam tomorrow or in a few years time should money hold out. So much for RM's 'haste' comment! I have virtually written this share off but am too stubborn to sell in the off chance there is some modest return. A very poor BOD!

Hopefully an end to the mind numbing Tweets!

Strange addition about family tree in my last post. How that got there beats me. Ignore!

@Hop2. We are not alone as you say. I note some are buying to reduce their overall SP but I will wait for that RNS. I have read absolutely nothing from RM that raises my hopes so it could be a case of throwing good money after bad and I am not falling into that trap again. Frankly, IMy cousin and I are doing our family tree and found this old photo. Would anyone happen to know who's in this photo? ?? do not expect anything of importance to emerge from a RNS. However there should be enough in the kitty to cover their generous salaries. Apologies to sound sour but the lack of any communications to me speaks volumes that they have nothing meaningful to say otherwise they would have thrown us a few small scraps by now. Again, I warn SHs not to get too carried away by this surge unless you have money to burn.
