"There's some talk about a flu like virus filling hospitals in China. Claims of similar scenes to those when COVID was taking off."

Been speaking with chinese friends in Heilongjiang province this morning and they confirm that this is the case up in the north east

You mean 0.08%?

I'm expecting we'll fill that and then move up to £6.50

I could be completely wrong

@Thumper1127 - Here's the gap at £5.19:

On a technical level, if you're into that sort of thing, there is a gap to fill at £5.19

Stockcheque - that's nonsense, it would not cause a sovereign default if they did not pay this because this isn't sovereign debt!

Bloomers-blower- wilful ignorance isn't a good look

Bloomers-blower - it's right there in the link you posted, I've even pasted the relevant section for you. I can't help if you insist on feigning illiteracy.

"Tunisia has a load of cash, FACT!!"

Tunisia is skint, FACT!!!

Foreign reserves are needed to service external sovereign debt to avoid sovereign default

Sovereign default relates to sovereign debt. That's essentially the coupon payments on the bonds issues by the government. Not paying this court fine does NOT constitute sovereign default.

More on the the parlous state of the Tunisian economy here:

I'm just back from a month long trip to Tunisia. It really is quite a poor country, the government doesn't even have money to collect litter from the streets and beaches. They run a fiscal deficit close to 7%. They don't have any spare cash, the chances of them paying out $600MM are close to zero imo, even if that happened to be the level of the award.

By the time you adjust the award amounts for perceived risk and deduct the company's existing liabilities and ongoing cash burn... it's probaby not far off fair value at this price - dependent on your view/assessment of the risks.

Bloomers_blower: "Redcain here is the history of sea level rises, no significant alteration over the last 6 thousand years.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Past_sea_level

If you think the sea is about to come at you you are even more stupid than I thought. Then again you sound like another one who thinks planet earth is boiling in the quaternary ice age in which live"

The link you posted doesn't support your statement:

"Recently, it has become widely accepted that late Holocene, 3,000 calendar years ago to present, sea level was nearly stable prior to an acceleration of rate of rise that is variously dated between 1850 and 1900 AD. Late Holocene rates of sea level rise have been estimated using evidence from archaeological sites and late Holocene tidal marsh sediments, combined with tide gauge and satellite records and geophysical modeling. For example, this research included studies of Roman wells in Caesarea and of Roman piscinae in Italy. These methods in combination suggest a mean eustatic component of 0.07 mm/yr for the last 2000 years.[17]

Since 1880, the ocean began to rise briskly, climbing a total of 210 mm (8.3 in) through 2009 causing extensive erosion worldwide and costing billions.[21][22]

Sea level rose by 6 cm during the 19th century and 19 cm in the 20th century.[23] Evidence for this includes geological observations, the longest instrumental records and the observed rate of 20th century sea level rise. For example, geological observations indicate that during the last 2,000 years, sea level change was small, with an average rate of only 0.0–0.2 mm per year. This compares to an average rate of 1.7 ± 0.5 mm per year for the 20th century.[24] Baart et al. (2012) show that it is important to account for the effect of the 18.6-year lunar nodal cycle before acceleration in sea level rise should be concluded.[25] Based on tide gauge data, the rate of global average sea level rise during the 20th century lies in the range 0.8 to 3.3 mm/yr, with an average rate of 1.8 mm/yr"

Can't believe this guy isn't in prison yet. He's been a part of countless similar scams over the years but just seems to be able to go from one to the next without any questions being asked.

Lenigas strikes again!

What a guy, he's consistent if nothing else.

Barclays maintains Assura at 'overweight' with a price target of £0.44

You can buy 10 year gilts yielding a little over 4.5% at the moment. Not index linked but at least your capital is untouched if you hold to maturity.

Same for me proctor, 4 years of averaging down and still taking a loss. I like the company though, just seems nobody else does.

Yes I'm just paraphrasing something I heard years ago, didn't realise it was Mark Twain, he must have lost money on AIM too ;-)

Meh, wouldn't touch with a bargepole now but good luck if you're brave enough

Most aim stocks are just a guy with a shovel standing next to a hole, telling you there's a squillion quid of resources in there and asking for money to get them out. Clearly this is different so let's hope we can see a sustained rise to reflect that.
