RE: Some advice for the news traders30 Jan 2021 08:51
Good, solid advice guys.
There’s no getting away from it, yesterday was not a pleasant experience and it has thrown up some issues.
Many on here got it wrong, myself included, to varying degrees. I’d expected £350M, hoped for £400+......, but the big disappointment for me was the tone of the message. Whilst not negative, it hardly sold us a positive outlook. However, the fundamentals remain strong and the cash at hand offers NCYT many, many options. I’m excited by that, but less so with the lack of vision offered.
I’ve always been in this one for the long haul, so I held and actually topped up on the drop. However, I’m not expecting a sudden rebound, just a consolidation until more clarity is forthcoming on next phase negotiations on phase 1 extension and phase 2 uptake.
That leads us to communication. It’s not that the message was inaccurate, or indeed negative. It was just lacking any vision, or positive outlook. That’s what the market wanted to see and it simply didn’t get it. So, with the company going through massive growth, the one glaring weakness in their recruitment drive this far is in PR. NCYT are in a very strong position, but they’ve proven incapable of communicating this to potential investors effectively. I think yesterday’s carnage proved this, once and for all. Time to rectify this urgently.
For what it’s worth, I agree with previous advice below, it’s a time to stay calm and trust in the company to do the right thing with the finances now in their control. They’ve proven themselves eminently capable of this over the past year. However, I for one, would like to see communication addressed right now.
It’s still a long term hold for me, but they’re playing a different game to the one they excelled in last year. This one requires a clearly communicated, positive
and deliverable vision.
Good luck all, Monday’s going to be very interesting with regards ongoing sentiment.....
