A shed load of trades reported after market close and after the uncrossing trade. Some at prices seriously over the ask and some in serious volume. The share price on LSE is higher than the stated bid/ask. What's afoot?

Things continue to look good though. It was only three weeks ago that getting above 2300 was worthy of comment!

As a recent (February) therefore only yet a prospective LTH I'm happy so far, with growth in SP and dividends to look forward to as well.

I did enjoy the closing line:
Q from Katie: And what happens next?
A from Shishir: We make a lot of money!!

I've cribbed Bendis's phrase here. It managed to stay above the waterline for the day. Let's hope for more enthusiasm next week.

A very reassuring presentation. Clearly they see Covid as having had a big impact but they have confidently pursued strategies during the lull in business to prepare for return to activity. "Poised for growth", "Cash to see the company through to profitability" and "Orthopure as a game changer" all tell us where this is going.

Like The Old Bee I'd like to add my thanks to all for the technical input there! It puts the otherwise worrying £6M into perspective. Looking forward to this afternoon's presentation.

I think the presentation certainly put paid to the theories trotted out over the months by all the pseudo scientists here (BAMS is dead in the water, LFT won't work, AS missing deadlines etc). As for now being a bunch of academics who aren't wheeler dealers I think anyone should simply look at the web site and see the team structures and their backgrounds. I mention but two: David Wilson (25 years in business development) and Neil Bell (30 years in drug development). QED.

seemingly, after Wednesday's lacklustre showing. Back comfortably over 2400 again.

Haha!
Sadly I'm old enough to remember the original but I like the new version more!

"What's not to like?"
Nothing! A continuation of the solid positive approach being taken by TGR.
Great. Just wish I'd pitched for more in the IPO but hindsight is a wonderful thing.

Quite,

I think "which we anticipate will be around the end of" expresses a hope but in reality could not be interpreted as commitment to a deadline.

Good strong start today takes us over 2400.

And we're still there to end the week. Let's hope this is a trend.

It all sounds confident and good. Let's look forward to the move reflecting beneficially in SP growth.

I think Fardistanthills has the nub of this. Providing this man can be spared from his scientific bench it is probably easier for him and better for the company for him to change tack inside the organisation that he knows as he is already up to speed. An outsider would need a period of finding his feet no matter how good a supply chain manager he might be. Avoiding that time lag could be critical.

I think you've hit the nail on the head there!

This morning's strong start looks to have bounced through the 2300 barrier with a bit of fizz behind it.

This morning’s exchanges, particularly around Visaiinn’s announcement, have been an eye opener. I’ve been at LSE a little over a month, having previously been at ADVFN. Just like here the AVCT board there was constantly abuzz with chatter, but only some of it was relevant and informed. Otherwise there it was poisonous, awash with vitriolic anger, grandstanding and closedmindedness from a small group who saw themselves as the proprietorial elite, foul language and above all in the end it was being destroyed by overt racial hatred. No need to explain my departure further than that.
When I arrived here I was relieved to find the AVCT board seemed remarkably well informed, with great input from a number of individuals, but the board similarly very busy because of the nature of what is going on with Avacta. Sadly I realise that this board too is showing signs of going similarly downhill as the intensity grows. Even over the Easter break the posts were in the hundreds!
Looking at individual profiles tells me that some post nowhere else but AVCT, others predominantly in one incestuously small sector. It seems to be these who want dogged discussion at a microscopic level and are not able to lift their heads above the detail. All that begins to suggest several here may be entirely invested in AVCT, or in this small sector, and/or are financially overcommitted. If so no wonder there is stress and anger.
I can only suggest that anyone who can see themselves in any part of that should diversify, scale back, maybe even take some profit, and relax more than a little. They, and everyone else, will be better for it. We could all benefit from drawing breath before pounding the keyboard.
Sell/buy isn’t necessarily a binary decision. I’m holding for the long game but, in the wake of what happened at NCYT, I’ve now a defensive stop loss in place at a level that I don’t expect the shares to reach but if they do I’m still out with 100% profit. I recognise I’m probably fortunate in being able to do that having been in for 12 months and having bought when SP was still in 2 figures. That isn’t intended as a smug gloat, rather a continuation of the theme that diversity and balanced investing will minimise the risk.
Good luck to all serious investors here. Thank you for all the well-researched intelligence, the keen eyes. I hope we all get through in one piece! Sorry for the sermon, I’ve got it off my chest without pointing fingers, without expletives. Now’s the time to shut up.
