O...I'll run my sliderule over TTG, give it a look. Glad you had a really good week.
I had a parsons nose of a week.

Sold PLUS at 1468 for just over 2% profit, peanuts but I like peanuts.

V....thanks for plus divi reminder. Just checked and I have them (2 from 2 tranches in different accounts). It's easy to forget about the PLUS divis because of the delay tween ex and pay day. PLUS is a strange company, has had legal problems in the past. Dividend is high, seem to remember they more or less pay out most of what they have sloshing about. Also notice that they seem to be always buying back their own shares, sometimes it seems to be several times a week. Perhaps with it being Israeli, their accountancy rules make it more profitable to pay the directors, I think there are 4 of them holding the bigger chunk of shares, in divi than actual pay. Not sure. Must look up when they next go ex divi.
This reminds me, bought some yesterday and see they are into >2% above what I paid for they, I usually cash in profits on PLUS anything above 1%, I've even taken less. Ha. Lots of mickles make a muckle.

Have now escaped my 2 weeks self isolation. Did our "usual" thursday shopping trip today and I must say there was a lot of traffic about, it didn't have the same calm feel of going out shopping during the first lockdown.

V...according to someone on the SNG board, the company are having a webinar on 18th inst.
Also, apparently, as well as mentions of SNG in popular press, SKY and BBC, there is an FT article, that should bring more serious investors in.

Oh la la. Was it a premonition or luck or FOMO? Moments after my SNG sale I bought them back at about the same price, glad I did as they are 12% higher now. Phew.
I too am having update troubles with LSE boards.

T....Yes, already done, sold a third of my SNG

Good morning Brigadiers.

V.... I hope you are watching SNG...it is up28%. Finally they have got their SNG001 inhaler product in the news. Took long enough.

Beware everyone it is friday the thirteenth

O....yes, think I will take profit, but the shine has come off the price this afternoon so will wait and hope for a better price tomorrow. Thanks.

m...welcome back to blighty, I finish my 2 weeks self isolation tomorrow, not sure whether to celebrate or not.

V... reading todays Telegraph, big item about the Pyser vaccine, "7 factors that could pop Pfizers vaccine elation" and most of them to me seem very serious. The cost of rolling it out is estimated to be 10 times more expensive than the Astra Zeneca candidate. Interesting to note that only 50million does of Pfizers vaccine will be available by end of year. The best thing about it is that it gives us all hope that an effective vaccine is coming. Hurray for that at least.

O...TCM share price dropped a bit yesterday, recovered partly today. I am wondering if it was because of this new proposed Foreign takeover crackdown? Think I am minded to sell and take the profit that is already in there.

T...will do thanks.

T...yes, I take that point and thank you. I think I will take some profit as I remember only too well how I felt on Monday afternoon and Tuesday after the alarming falls. I would say that testing for the virus is nowhere near over and I can see years of it ahead, even with a vaccine. Also NCYT, has an income stream bigger than its Mcap, also has many non Covid tests etc etc, I am not ramping honest...BUT, the market is fickle and the biggest player in it is sentiment, any amount of arguement wont prevent holders seling if they even suspect a big fall just as another, then another vaccine comes out. The FieSir, honest I can spell it, I am just having some fun, vaccine was rushed out, strictly speaking I dont think theothers can really be ready to release details for annother month or more but may well take a lead from Fyza and release before all the data is analysed, peer reviews etc.
In summary, yes, ncyt sp will fall, maybe I should take the n Tesla profit and be very very grateful. Will decide soon.

V,R....Note also that the efeect of a vaccine release has an effect on the price of gold, which happened monday and that has been given as the reason GGP fell 10% or so. That gave me an opportunity to buy more but this could happen again. Personally I am less worried about GGP than NCYT. I could speak about AVCT and SNG but it is time for my lunch.

T...yes, very good point. Maybe I am in denial again but feel that the vaccine shock on monday and tuesday is over and people have come to appreciate that testing will go on. Perhaps there will be a smaller setback, maybe 10% for the next vaccine announcement but I am a LTH. However, I might take some more profit out of NCYT in the meantime. When did you say it was rumoured that the next one was going to be announced?

V...well done, you really are starting to get a handle on this malarkey. I saw your posting with prediction of todays movement and, good work, you got it about as accurate as one could expect.
O bi one, please keep us posted on your expectations for tomorrow and Monday.

Got a letter from HL this morning trying to get me to swap my investments to them, even offering me money. Is this the same HL that didn't allow trading on monday because it was too difficult? Thanks but no thanks. Apologies to those amonst us that use HL. IG certainly wasn't perfect this week but at least I could trade.

Thinking about the merits of selling the second half of my extra NCYT bought on Tuesday. Especially if there is a bump up this afternoon as I expect tomorrow there may well be lots of day traders that came in early in the week and wanting to bank profits.

V.....ZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzZZZZZZZZZ

Put him on report Mr Mainwaring.

Just been reading an advert for those Quooker taps that supply cold, filtered, hot, boiling water. Has anyone got one?
They kinda scare me, wonder what the statistics are on people getting scalded by their kitchen tap, bet there is a big jump from last millenia. Thought I would suggest to them that they have extra "programmes" on it...five clicks for water 3 deg above body temp for bathing baby, 6 clicks for power off and on again to do a software reboot, maybe 7 clicks for coolant at -75 to keep your vaccine alive.

V...just bought ASC at 4598, been dithering over buying in again all morning but they are currently at +0% so I may see some upside today. BTW, I have some ASOS bought at 5373 which are looking very lonely now and for the foreseeable future but thankfully it is only 100 shares. Missed a chaance earlier to sell my PLUS bought this morning but hope to this afternoon.

T...so are you trading CCL and MCRO at the moment? And how many of those 4 hotels are you planning to buy?

T....meant to say well done on making your target with CCL.

O...nice posting

O...nice posting. I never cease to be shocked by the disgraceful antics of those in power, both goverment and industry figures and their sheer bl++dy barefaced effrontery in not taking responsibility when things go wrong let alone ever apologising. Were do they find this supply of people who never make mistakes? Contrast this with countries like Japan with a heightened (too high perhaps) sence of face saving. Do you remember when that JAL 747 crashed, years ago, the CEO instantly took responsibility and retired ....or did he fall on his sword, I know they still occaisionally do that.

Sorry, apologies, it was all my fault, I was selfish...I should not have subjected you all to a second rant in 20 mins.
