RE: Next Omicron wave in the Summer16 Jan 2022 09:23
Drb - agreed. I didn’t give enough detail. My personal opinion is that by then the hysteria will be pretty much over (bbc are starting to turn their narrative) and the fear will be massively reduced and as such people will just get on with it, vulnerable will have their boosters and healthy folk will just shake it off as a mild flu/cold, if that. The mass testing will stop (we can’t afford it) and as countries get vaccinated they’ll also reduce testing. We don’t test for flu (before it was eradicated) or colds and that’s how covid will go.
Heeeence, the important of a positive outlook. I am not deramping, but looking forward from a lens that isn’t clouded by “how many covid tests can we sell?” relentlessly. As with investing, diversification is key and that is what the market will reward, if we can achieve it. SAGE headlines will not increase our SP now (omicron was the last spike for that) so let’s see what happens, if anything, in a fortnight.
ValJu - agreed. And it’s hold and wait for me. 38% down so not selling for now, and certainly not buying!
