Member Info for Naewise

Sorry guys, much though I would love to agree with you all, the surge is due in my humble opinion to pure speculation that something, ANYTHING, in terms of good news MUST be overdue by now but please turn the clock back one year and exactly the same thing happened with disastrous consequences resulting in many SHs (including myself) losing most of their savings! BE WARNED! I say this as not a tiny peep has emerged from RM for ages - EXACTLY the same as last year. I sincerely hope I am proved wrong so that I can claw back a little of the family's inheritance. I know many are in the same boat. Once bitten twice shy! I bitterly rue the day I invested in SNG and hope you do not go through the heart searching and guilt I did!

Relax chaps, I was being facetious as patience is wearing rather thin. However, who knows what is going on behind the scenes on the medical front as other concerns are most likely beavering away in SNG type areas and could possibly beat SNG to the mark. How many LTH's will still be around in a year's time -- many good posters already appear to have departed. RM has got to come up with a statement soon as these long silences are simply unacceptable and an insult to SHs.

You may have a point, I accept -- two nights B& B in Bogner then.

Moderna new vaccine for respiratory illnesses - potentially a killer blow for SNG? Too little too late -- so much for RM's 'haste'! It was bound to happen. Time to get out I fear and salvage a few pence on Tuesday - may cover a night's B & B in Bognor for the family if I am lucky.

My guess is some are taking a punt in the off chance there could be some positive news. Sadly, we have been here before with the long silence resulting in SP total collapse. Surely if RM had anything worthwhile to say, he would have thrown shareholders a few scraps. I am preparing for the worst and negative news this time round will surely finish off this concern. Still, some of them have done very well financially out of it and will attempt to drag it out for another year, why wouldn't they!

Venturai1 - My name's Naewise. Why do you keep calling me Dave? No one else calls me Dave!

Just tuned in briefly scanning the post and for a moment thought we had hired Trigger of 'Fools and Horses' fame until I remembered dear old Roger Anthony Lloyd-Pack had passed away - must remember to take my tablets on time! Mind you, Trigger as CEO would at least give us all a laugh and boy don't we need it with possibly one of the most miserable, wretched BoD's around!

He certainly pulled the wool over our eyes!

... back in the news this morning. 2 out of 3 deaths preventable according to report on the BBC. A chronic worrying condition which has been with us for ever and a day but little reference if any as far as I can see from SNG. But again there has been little reference to anything for so long now from RM so hardly surprising!

Nice try Wigster -- if only - we LTH's so need cheering up before this dissolves into a penny share. We have made so many excuses for RM's silence which is demeaning to shareholders. I hate to say it but this smacks of his last long quiet spell just before the SP crashed. I am sure someone in his position would have been able to throw us a few scraps by now without divulging any sensitive information -- there are ways! The man has lost all credibility. Frankly, I am preparing for the worst and have written this one off in my mind and this is hard for me to say!

And what really grates is that these 'gentlemen' have not even had the decency to apologise to shareholders for the company's abysmal performance.

I would have laughed at the thought but whilst RM maintains his lofty silence we cannot rule this out. Another month with no utterance is bound to drag the share down to unbelievable depths. I have virtually written this company off but hey, our BOD have done well out of it and shall if they manage to string this out for another few years so all credit to them. We are the mugs, not that RM cares a jot. Thought, I could cash in and treat the family to a weekend in the IOW!

James Wakefield biography
James Christopher Wakefield has been Independent Non-Executive Chairman at NOVACYT S.A. since 2014. He is Chairman of the Nomination Committee at the Company. He is an experienced private equity investor, having spent over 30 years in the finance industry. He has been involved with over 30 businesses of varying sizes and stages of development across a wide range of sectors, including board representation as chairman or nonexecutive director in a number of these. He is also Chairman of Promedics Orthopaedics Limited. He is Chairman of WestBridge Capital LLP of which he was a founder partner in 2008. He previously spent 18 years at Bridgepoint (previously NatWest Equity Partners) and prior to that, spent four years at NatWest Markets/NatWest Investment Bank. He is a graduate of Harvard Business School (AMP). Quite a pedigree but the last time I saw him -- I think before Salad man was appointed and GM was present, he did not exactly set the heather on fire and came across as a most uninspiring gentleman. We just have to hope and pray that our next CEO has some charisma, imagination and is a good communicator.

'Hoping that 'no news is good news.' -- It certainly wasn't this time last year and the complete lack of coms., ignoring these embarrassing Tweets, indicates the company does not think it has anything worthwhile to tell us which is deeply worrying. As Kaeren (I think) said a few weeks ago, it almost makes one wish GM was back in charge as the present 'lot' are coming across as naive - at least he had a certain spark about him compared to the present damp squibs!

Ventura1, stick around, the SP may gallop off one of these days. I see the over 70s or it it 75s are likely to have another booster in Spring and Autumn so there is still clearly a fear Covid could outflank the scientists and give many of us the trots.

This could prove the carrot leading to greater things...

wpa5 - 'and still haunt these corridors patiently (or not so patiently)'. A nice turn of phrase and I certainly fall into this category. However, if nothing significant breaks next RNS, I suspect many LTH's will give SNG up as a bad job as life is too short!

Welcome back HillSeeker, it's good to hear from you again. Perhaps this is an omen - a good one!

KT. I must have experienced a senior moment but the 4 part posting was an extremely articulate powerful analysis of why you still invested in Nova and your frustration concerning the crass stupidity of those who could not see further than their noses. I went to bed happy that night or was that the wine! Ring any bells? If not, the night is still young so I may open another bottle and see whether this mirage returns. I suspect NCYT is turning many LTHs to drink!
