My brother also thinks he had it in March when loss of taste and smell weren't considered symptoms at the time. He hasn't got any antibodies but his step daughter has (or did when she had the test a couple of months ago).

The cynic in me wonders if they chose Thermo Fisher because they want a trade deal with America.

I don't think it will be as bad as in March because we all knew this would probably happen, particularly when furlough was extended.

My HL account was showing stupid figures for several of my holdings when I checked a while ago. Think NCYT was around £8.30 and GGP was 10p.

Merry Christmas everyone and thanks to those who generously give up their time and share their knowledge.

ATrades, hope you feel better soon. My brother thinks he got it in March but only lost taste and smell. Has got them back slightly but most things smell of sewage and taste awful although he seems to be OK with cakes and biscuits so could be worse. Brussel spouts always smell and taste awful anyway.

I should have added it might be a different process for other companies but I don't know enough and Sirius is the only one I have been involved in to date.

I have taken this from an article about Sirius at the time. A lot of investors were trying to get shares transferred into their name, even if only one.

"And in documents issued to shareholders, Sirius has said it is important that 'as many votes as possible are cast' so that the ballot is 'a fair representation' of investors' opinion. But many backers hold their shares in nominee accounts through brokers, rather than owning them outright.

The only way for a nominee shareholder to be counted as an individual voter is to apply for a paper share certificate, a long process which involves paperwork and can be expensive.

Unless investors go through this process, which can differ from broker to broker, giant shareholder platforms such as Hargreaves Lansdown will only count as a single shareholder when the votes are counted, even though they look after the stakes of many people via nominee accounts."

With regards to voting via a nominee account I had this with Sirius Minerals. In that situation HL asked all the shareholders how they wanted to vote and took the majority view. A nominee vote just counted as one vote so people were taking shares out of the nominee account into their name.

I had a conversation yesterday with a relative who is a senior civil servant. She has advised her sister not to pay for a LFT but to make sure she gets a PCR test - they are doing these at Gatwick from tomorrow.

I removed all my stop losses at this level a while ago and have just topped up again.

Porky, the one I know is

Patience is a virtue
Find it if you can
Often in a woman
Seldom in a man

Seems more accurate to me :)

I'm safe then, already use mouthwash as part of my daily routine:)

I've been out all morning and come back in to find a limit order I had put on to buy has been filled at £7.48. That was a bit of a surprise.

This is only a review produced by an independent body, The Office of Tax Simplification. That's not to say he won't introduce some (or all) of the recommendations. My feeling is he won't do everything at once.

Silver is the reason I still hold the shares I have.

Wilson. I appreciate people like you who 'rummage'. I don't have the time and by the time I sit down in the evenings quite frankly I'm too tired :) If I do find something, somebody will have always beat me to it. So thank you from the bottom of my heart to those who freely share their knowledge.

I can't even get the week in Cornwall I had booked starting Friday.

I filtered him months ago.

That's unconfirmed at the moment but let's hope no smoke without fire.
