Very civilised, I agree! I can think of one or two BBs where sadly the frenzy gets very wearing.

Good to see the upward trend continuing into this week, and that in a lacklustre market.

That FEVR recovered from its fit of doubt this morning and even finished up a bit.

Certainly good to see Friday's response to the announcement has sustained over the weekend. TGR continues to fulfil the promise in its IPO. Glad I got in!

Even better as a finish to the week (427/429)! This company is doing good things.

We must keep up the good work Laughton!
That's three days on the trot since the Easter break we've finished up. Encouraging.

Good to see the day finish on a high (420/422).

Nostra, it's easy for everyone, even those committed to AVCT, to get distracted on the issue of LFTs. One comment was made, by Starbright, which recognises this.
"Avacta has other opportunities that may - in time - generate huge value for shareholders." That's understatement for the fact that Avacta's efforts in LFTs are not its real business, that's in cancer and maybe other treatments not yet envisaged which are a longer term thing. So maybe as a trader you don't look at that, but for investors prepared to stay for the journey, that's where much of the value lies which won't yet be baked in to the price.

Shares closed up 68, that's 3.2% and twice the rate of the market. Not a bad return to business after the holiday. May it continue supported by relaxations of restrictions.
Either that or it's just the quantity Laughton and I are clearing out of Waitrose! :-)

If other Waitrose customers are shifting their particular favourite Fevertree flavour at the rate you're necking the ginger beer there's no wonder they're running out!
Heehee! :-))
Keep up the good work! (I'm doing my bit too working through the tonic water flavours!)

"This could indicate they have been given the green light to begin a major recruitment drive for a massive project (IS IT US?)"
Pennyfortheguy, Interesting how the perspective on this is different over at ABDX. There the view is that the stockpile of ABC-19 could be bound for the USA and Canada! We can all imagine our own slant on the same thing. We just have to wait for more concrete news and not get carried away, I guess.

Inddfx, this sounds exactly like an invitation I had. It will be a swab round the tonsils and then deep in the nose (the so called brain tickler) put the swab in the pot and send it off. It will be a PCR test which will look for antibodies which will only exist if there is infection (ie in the presence of an antigen). Doing it is an odd sensation but not half as uncomfortable as is sometimes made out.

Been otherwise occupied most of the day so that was a real but very pleasing surprise to check on just now!
Good position for just before Easter weekend.

This is indeed wonderful news, reflected in the price today. I'm jolly glad I bought last June and have been able to see the progress since then. I'm keen to see if the LFD contract recently awarded matches another stock I'm holding in anticipation of great things. That would be the icing on the cake!

SMDS is in a buoyant position with all the online shopping etc driving demand for product so there must be attraction in its value as an investment, hence the broker rating at 475. I find periods before a potential or even a real bid frustrating. Do you stay in, do you go, and they seem to drag on for ever. My last one was with Shire Pharma a couple of years ago. I stayed almost to the end but got out comfortably near the top, precipitated by a house purchase. I've no plans to move this time so let's hope it resolves itself soon.

Albus, sounds like there could be something wrong there. I've bought three stocks via PB and they took a few days to make it through to my account with HL but that's all. Might be worth checking that all the dominoes are in place at both ends. I've no idea what your facilities are like at Barclays but I started off with Lloyds and left them last year because of a different issue. I'm glad it happened actually because now with HL I've access to lots more information and less cost.

A promising start to the week with a rise to 2300 even in the face of Morgan Stanley's unencouraging rating. Expectation of better things to come perhaps?

I've just got round to seeing the presentation this afternoon. Lots of interesting developments coming along which is most encouraging as I only bought in on Thursday! It's now time to sit on my hands and leave things to develop. Six months to a year should see something substantial come through.

Backed by another 'BUY' vote, this time from Barclays with target at 2500.

But contrarily Goldman cuts to target of 1700 as a SELL.
What are we supposed to make of that?
