ihalliwell10, I'll drink to that! :-)
Br3xiUK, I wasn't thinking of causing an inflationary spiral; my take was more that all the other brokers haven't changed their opinions so it's a shame that just one has to be different and the whole house of cards collapses. If someone had put out a positive it might just have balanced things. At least today's rout seems to be correcting itself which is what matters. Good luck all.

LTF=LFT natch, sorry!

These questions in the Jenny Hill thread are like children in the back of the car saying "Are we there yet?"
We have not managed to eradicate the cold virus or the flu virus so we aren't going to be able to eradicate Covid. Not without a massive world wide co-ordinated effort under the WHO of the sort which finally eradicated smallpox, and that took decades to achieve. At the moment the world isn't remotely near getting this thing even under control. At the moment the problems are places like India and Brazil but long term we won't win whilst ever there are anti vaxxers propagating their poisonous messages.
Testing is going to be around in whatever form for a long time.
Bear in mind also that the Covid LTF for Avacta is a bit of a distraction and the real value in this company is still in its bread and butter business of chemo delivery drugs, one of which is in test as we speak.

Interesting to see Viridor making its way from PNN (which I have held for some time) gradually to here. The market certainly liked the acquisition, putting the SP up nigh on 6%

WIN seems to have got itself into a strong position. Satisfying to see yesterday's gain sustained to the end of the week. 5 1/2% in two days is not to be sniffed at.

Most disappointing to have yesterday's storming performance wrecked by an unnecessarily downbeat opinion. It is true that the high valuation renders FEVR sensitive to anything with even the slightest negative whiff about it. What we need now is someone else with a more positive outlook to give their verdict and restore a bit of balance!

The Company's articles of association are dated 29 April 2003. However there was a reverse takeover by Ready Buy in August 2006.

The London S/Ex chart changed to "max" view shows a graph for Avacta Group going back to 2006. Whether that encompasses what Ben4 says I do not know.

Covidopportunist thinks "There can’t really be many people who are in negative." and he may well be correct. But along with terms like "LTH" and "ATH" these things are relative. The graph on the London S/Ex shows that anyone still here from before November 2008 will be nursing a loss unless they've averaged with later buys, and they really would qualify as long term holders. Similarly claims of all time highs being reached should consider that this share stood at 675p in this early period and only came down to where we are today at that November 2008 threshold. Along with everyone else I hope we are now looking at the end of a very long dip and look forward to new highs to come. Good luck to all!

This should prove to be a brilliant investment. There's evident passion in what they are doing as a company, in maintaining sustainable and environmental processes, in reducing world dependence on single source supply, in engagement with the communities in which they are working and in developing their products into new areas. What's not to like?

8.25% increase today, on the back of Friday's gains is looking good. I wonder what's suddenly woken the peeps up?

Thank you Templar. That's really brightened up a very wet weekend! Absolutely cracking.

Agree entirely. I guess if you bought loads at 5p it would be tempting to take the money and run. A switchback performance like today could be too worrying! Take the long view.

Lot of selling going on this morning. Wonder where the week is going to finish?

It's the market, affected by buyers and sellers. It looks to me as though with having closed last night at 68.8, this morning's open at 71 proved too optimistic to sustain for long in a somewhat negative market mood and it fell accordingly. It did make a similar move in the other direction at about 09:11 and seesawed for most of the morning.

AS, that's a long and patient wait! I hope you're now in or much nearer profit. I just bought in yesterday at a smidge under 58p only to see the price fall further! It's hard to get that right, so I'm very pleased too to see today's rise too. Here's looking forward to continued growth.

PJ, sorry you thought I was sneering. I was trying to balance what I read as alarmist hyperbole in the reporting. Expressions like "Covid nuclear reactor" and "Biological Fukushima" are OTT at the very least, and do not help project sensible thinking. Testing, and I hope AVCT will be at the heart of the UK's, will help us manage and control things, as variants will occur and spread, especially in and from those areas of the world which are not managing their outbreaks well. Maybe we weren't quick enough out of the blocks but the UK has shown, painful though it might have been for personal lives and the economy in general, lockdowns will stop an outbreak, vaccination will protect against further infection. Testing helps provide accurate management of events. Brazil, and others, are providing the environment for variation in the virus to occur and the disease to spread unabated, to the detriment of the world. We are going to need extensive testing regimes for some time.

Each to his own but I'm not sure I think of The Sun as my go to source of scientific information. This is an old report from 9th April anyway. If we are nonetheless to have any confidence in what it says it is worth noting that in amongst it reports:
"the new strain has not yet been confirmed to be more deadly or more transmissible."
and
"The expert assured the vaccines remain effective"
I think for Brazil, and probably the world, it is Brazil's administration which is the worry as much as any new variant that pops up amongst the chaos. The article affirms that the way to avoid new variants in an outbreak is for countries to invoke lockdowns and speed up vaccination.

Well at least my eyes are OK. 75000 shares sold for £2m recorded at 17:12 having been reversed out earlier on.

And I swear some have now disappeared, including one at £2m.
Maybe I'd better leave off the G and stick to the T or get myself down to Specsavers :-)
