Just a silly thought. I wonder if there are any long term holders out there who haven't kept in touch with what is happening to HEMO. Could they discover their 1p share is now worth £4 and think they have hit the jackpot. Order a Bentley and have a nice celebration, before realising what has happened. There could be one out there. Who knows!

I think I read that some forum members were waiting to hear from HL regarding the EGM vote. I have just voted "Yes" using HL account via my Laptop, not the App on my iPhone. If you're struggling to find it, Log In , click on the blue My Accounts box. Underneath that is Secure Messages and underneath that is Shareholder Meetings. The link below that takes you to the voting form. Sorry if you all knew that, but it's worth stating it in case someone can't find it. It took me a while!

I put in another £6.4k this afternoon adding to my previous collection. Fasten the seat belts and enjoy the ride.

By the way, nobody likes seeing the share price nose-diving. Be nice to each other. Lets hope for better times and for good results from the CAR-T trials. Some very poorly people depend on it, as well as investors like us.

We’ve all invested in HEMO to make money and at times many of us have been critical of Vlad, for not looking after us investors. Surely that is what a CEO should be doing.

I have to remind myself that Vlad is not doing all this hard work for me, an investor, but for himself. This is his ambition, or his calling, you might say. His team will feel the same way. If they succeed they will be richly rewarded and have the immense satisfaction of knowing they have advanced medical science and changed some peoples lives. But it can’t happen without investors. So Vlad invites us to share this adventure with him and at the end, share in the potential rewards.

It's difficult to make money out of a company that has no income. If you are lucky, trading and shorting can help squeeze money out of the system at the expense of other shareholders. Either our share price reduces or it becomes more expensive to buy in. Dilution is inevitable as huge amounts of money will be needed for future developments. So we face constant headwinds and nothing will change that. Everything depends on CAR-T, CDX and CBR being successful and if they are, then we too will be handsomely rewarded. But how long will the journey take and will it result in success or failure? I really don’t know but I’m hanging in there and am determined to enjoy the ride even if we appear to take wrong turnings from time to time along the way. For me this helps take some of the stress out of investing. As long as we only invest what we can afford to lose. I wish I’d listened to my own advice!

Once the resolution is approved at the EGM, will our much talked about 10p party have to become the £40 party or have I got my maths wrong?

Hi Kaeren.

This is the Hybridan article.

Novacyt 49.35p £34.9m (NCYT.L)

The molecular diagnostics Company with a broad portfolio of integrated technologies and services announces that it is launching two new assays for gastrointestinal disease in dogs and cats at the London Vet Show, held today. The genesig PLEX kits for Canine and Feline Gastrointestinal (GI) Diseases are multiplexed qPCR assays that detect six disease-causing pathogens in the digestive system of cats and dogs in a two-tube assay, delivering a streamlined and efficient testing solution for centralised veterinary laboratories. Each target has been carefully selected to detect a key pathogen that can cause potentially serious or life-threatening GI illnesses in cats and dogs.

Most NCYT RNS's have tended to depress everyone, especially the financial markets. At least today's didn't do that. It might not have caused a big uptick in the share price but at least it was positive news. Let's hope they find other things to cheer us up.

WBAFC has just been engaging with Porky9 on the VAL group. I'm not sure there is anything to be gained in doing that though. We can only hope the future is better than the recent past. I'm 85% down on my investment with NCYT. An expensive lesson to learn about how not to invest in shares. I'm sorry it's turned out like this but I'm not bitter against any individuals. Wisdom doesn't come cheaply! In a year or two it might look good again. Let's hope so.

I hope they issue another RNS when the VAT is received rather than leave us guessing. I can't see any reason why the Government wouldn't refund the VAT if they refused to pay the original invoice They can't have it both ways. can they?

Looking at LSE data today, 495k shares sold and 585k shares bought. I know that sometimes buys appear as sells and vice versa, but people must see this as an opportunity. Being 80% down I'm wishing I hadn't put so much of my hard earned money into NCYT shares. I need to learn how to accurately predict the future. If I crack that one, I will let you know how! Got to keep smiling. Frowns do nothing for you.

As others have said, we do enjoy reading posts from JHFH and Haywain and others, but I guess they don’t know any more than we do about progress at HEMO. Thinking back to the old Apollo missions to the moon, when the capsule was going round the dark side of the moon, all communications were lost and we didn’t know what was happening. HEMO feels like it’s doing exactly that. At least NASA had a good idea when communications should be restored but we don’t have that level of expertise (or foresight). We keep watching and waiting. Some like to be negative but they have no better idea than those who are positive about the company and the future share value. You feel happier being positive so that will do for me.

Hi Muck165

I'm just asking this out of interest. When you said "Initial thoughts are; -Non dilutive acquisition". I wondered if that was right. If Abingdon are issuing 5 million shares to cover this, does that not dilute our investment? If it helps the company to generate more business then the investment should pay us back in a year or two so we shouldn't lose out as such.

Just seeking clarification.

I'm not sure how much compensation we would be entitled to. The announcement of the dispute massively impacted the share price, but so did the decline in Covid and what seemed to be our lack of non-Covid products to sell. Or was it just that Governments had spent so much money fighting Covid that they didn't have much left to buy anything else.

If we win the case and if our sales portfolio with Yourgene products start to perform then the share price should logically go back up again. We wouldn't need compensation for that, if the value in the company was restored. I'm just thinking out loud. I have no real experience to speak from. I just watch and wait patiently (sometimes impatiently)!

All this waiting for the court case to be resolved is like waiting for your exam results to come. We did all the work, but has it brought the right result. A successful outcome will be good news. A bad outcome just means Plan B and more hard work to turn it around.

The case is crucial but I'm looking at what comes next. I've been here for 3 years and can wait a few more years for the good times to fully return. To receive a large payout will bring a spike to the share price. It's what they do with it that will really grow the business and shareholder value.

Let's hope for good news.

Vlad reposted an article on Linkedin. A summary is:

Alex Karp CEO of Palantir. “Short sellers just love pulling down great American companies so they can pay for their coke.”

Their shares are up 47% this year.

When a stock goes up, short sellers are on the hook to buy back shares, potentially at a huge loss.

“The best thing that could happen to them is we will lead their coke dealers to their homes after they can’t pay their bills,” Karp said. “You know, do your thing, we’ll do our thing.”

I think Vlad shares these sentiments.

Our former investor relations person, Mandy Cowling is starting a new job as Event Manager at The Jockey Club. I believe this is at the Newmarket racecourse. Something totally different for her. Wishing her well.

I know it's not Novacyt related now, but for those who knew of her, it is of some interest.

Yesterday wasn't good. Today has been terrible. What's next. I don't know but whatever it is, it's coming soon.

Following the RNS announcement the proportion of the company I own from my shares is reduced. I hope Vlad spends the placing money well and is able to grow the business substantially. If he does, my reduced share of a larger business will make me happier. May those Car-T trials happen soon and be very successful.

You can waste a lot of time during a day, tracking HEMO share prices. I have set up an alert on HL to tell me a significant price increases (never thought to ask for significant price decreases!) so I should switch off and do something more productive. I hope Vlad and the team are not being distracted by all of this. We need them to press on with the trials and other research.

We’ve all been wondering why the share price hasn’t increased more than it has. It has doubled since last August, but it’s resting at about 3p. For big investors to come in, they have to decide if any pharma share is a gamble or a good business proposition. Before the clinical hold was lifted I think HEMO was probably seen as a gamble (albeit an exciting one). Now we have moved further along the scale towards it becoming a good business proposition but perhaps not far enough to attract many people in. Are people waiting for the funding news (which would help us move even further) or are they hanging on to see some positive results from the testing? Once we know our CAR T works in people then it’s a no brainer. If there is competition for our products within the wider Pharma industry big-boys then they need to take a bit of a gamble themselves and get in early.

I’ve been here for 3 years. For my investment there are no dividends. There is the altruistic part of my investment hoping it contributes to peoples welfare. Financially I can only look for an increase in share price. I don’t know how long funding news will take and I guess it could be many months before news of test results will be released. So I need to be manage my expectations, be patient and prepare for the good news to arrive in a few months. Expecting it in a day or two is a bit optimistic in my view.

Haywain’s recent posts put it all into context though.

I really hope it works out well for you WBAFC. If you reach your new average, it should go past mine too on it's way!
