"Strong buying volume building already this afternoon ."

what chart are you looking at? Volume appears to have peaked this morning around 10:00-11:00 and steady since. 10day average just cutting below the 20day average. MACD around Zero.
So it could still make another jump toward 100p as some may be tempted to buy at this level, otherwise it Looks like another solid consolidation day finishing in high 90s. Unless I am not seeing the latest data yet.

keeping my expectations low based on how infrequent GDR have released news over the last 10months. That’s not to say progress isn’t happening in the background; hopefully BC have a more aggressive promoting team.

well put cornishpixie; I agree patience is key. When all considered, it is about having your money in stocks you believe in and has the best prospects for your money to grow. There will be ups and downs, it is high risk to buy and sell on simply the SP without consideration of other factors, your own timeline, but also what other opportunities are available at a given time. Active investing is hard and being passive is often the lower risk option.

I think you could be surprised; this shares can go up very quickly with the right sentiment as it is now and one positive RNS. Based on your average this still not a bad entry point if you have cash. But it can also move down very quickly too...i think next few weeks will be bumpy on sentiment alone without a positive RNS. But that gives more chance for entry.

@starknight. Sorry but you clearly don't understand balance sheets and basic maths. My suggestion only applies when you have no more cash spare other than what is in your portfolio. I shall explain. If you put £100 in stock 'A' and are down 50% you can leave your money there and wait for that stock to go up 100% to breakeven; but if the prospect of that is low (based on sentiment/market or other factors) you can look for a better stock and move your £50 to it, stock 'B'; yes your portfolio will show £50 (50%) loss on stock 'A', but all you have done is move your £50 to stock 'B', your porfolio is still worth £50, your money has not changed, your £50 simply now has a different name to it. You still need stock 'B' to go up 100% to break even , but if you have done your homework and picked right you can still get there and sooner than with stock 'A' (there is always a risk). But ultimately You have not lost money at that point; you are still 50% down on your porfolio regardless and you are waiting for the right horse to get you back to breakeven or higher. Seeing the red negative number on record on one of your stocks is simply psychological but if that is all the money you have to play with, you have to move it and make it work for you where it best gives a return. Obviously is after you do your research, you decide that stock 'A' still your best option then don't move it. Hope that clears it.

Furion, it doesn't matter is your other holding are in the red; all it matters is which horse will give you a better return right now; if you think GDR is the better place then why not move your funds. Your money doesn't care which stock is associated with. You only make a loss when you take investment out of your portfolio, not when you move it (apart from fees).

you are never stuck with a share; your money does not change value based on what company is associated with...all it matters is if the shares currently associated with your cash will go up or not compared to other shares. People talked about it is only a loss if you sell; it is actually only a loss if you withdraw your investment to your bank account; if you reinvest it is the same cash (-fees) just with a different name to it...what you are simply doing is moving your prospects and risk. That is not certainty it will do better but that is where your research and risk appetite comes in to play. Never be afraid to move your cash unless you have no other better investment opportunity in sight. But right now there are plenty due to the pandemic havoc.

well; bought back in at 47p...hopping this time it pays off.

For those on the sidelines; Have you got an entry SP? do you have an exit SP?
I think anything under 48p is a good entry point; still with some downside but the upside is more tempting from this point even with just the noise that takes place you may be able to exit in high 50s with little or no news.
In the assumption that things go a bit positive from here I will probably look to skim profit at the 70s and reassess; depending on how the rest of the portfolio is doing may then hold/ fingers crossed to be again over the £1.

if DB said very close 3 weeks ago it could mean april! didn’t he tell us sales in June! A bit of urgency again during the winter month and may get things over the line. But i do not take his word for it anymore until i see hard facts.

3 times you asked same question; but you give no time frame. The SP could be lower where it is now in short time frame or not much higher. But could well be £3 in june next year. You really need to keep assessing based on news and market environment; no one can really predict only speculate based on assumptions which could turn to be correct. Obviously with plenty on research you can get a better hit rate but it is not guaranteed.

not a lot? only the whole expectation of vaccines sooner than anyone anticipated. But yes testing still here to stay.

never mind years to come; testing demand is huge now yet no sales or fda approval. When first orders and sales are confirmed this will be a good return. but demand and urgency is not going be as high
again; GDR future growth is probably dependent on how they use the windfall to push other of their products.

what makes this situation difficult to read/predict is the negative impact the vaccine news have or will continue to have on the SP. If it was purely down to GDR news then it would be a nobrainer from this point but with vaccine still making strong headlines for at least the next few weeks with all the rollout and xmas relaxation of rules i cannot call it. If you have a good average below £0.9 then holding would be my view. otherwise keep some cash spare ready to act when more certainty comes from either side with hard news. For new investors not at a loss, anything in the 40p i see as a good buy; even if it takes a hit again with vaccine news and no GDR positive news to counteract.

likewise; I know what you mean but there are a few that are willing to engage in meaningful assessments of a share and current market. I ignore the Boom, rocket anytime, to the moon by tomorrow, i loaded up again and again and again, bargain, don’t be left out this weekend, unless there is some facts behind it and not just pure wishful thinking.

It is a shame, you seem to be willing to provide a good opposite view to dream which is good to have around this boards.

BigBench; yes testing will still be required and I do think people have over reacted to the vaccine news and irrationally thinking it is a silver bullet...but regardless of whether is rational or not; the fact is people have reacted that way and as a result some stocks are seeing huge gains in the short term; it is not different to how many sold stocks back in march and bought into COVID testing like GDR simply on potential returns and not hard numbers. Everyone to their own but if you are invested in the stock market to make money then you move your money to where it gives a return, no sentiments attached. If you are invested in the principle of the company and their products and can afford to wait then hold and leave the investment alone as I do think GDR will payback in due course.

has anyone ever bothered to read the side effects quoted on typical medication you keep in your med box at home. You would be shocked.

cheers dream; took a look at the graphs on your tip and decided to buy in at 86p. A good jump since!
