I used to value this board.
I never comment, but I've always appreciated the insight and knowledge that ones have brought to it. It used to be a great source of wisdom and incite.
But recently it's plummeted to a cesspit of what's wrong with human nature - one-upmanship, pride and bullying to name just a few - the likes of which you are used to seeing on the daily mail and Twitter.
This BB now adds very little value. It's like being back in the school playground but with 30-60 year olds.
What a Crying Shame.
Whether we care to admit it or not the bulk of investors would have been here for what should have been the potential COVID profits. That was built into the SP. Now that the world is getting double vaxed and (in the UK atleast) being told as of now to jump straight to a PCR if pinged/showing symptoms etc confidence in need for LFTs are evaporating and the SP is settling down to reflect this.

From 16 August
ENGLAND
People fully vaccinated or under 18 will not need to self-isolate after close contact with someone who has COVID-19. You’ll still need to take a PCR test and self-isolate if it’s positive, or if you have symptoms
As everyone says on here but lambasts you if you do and have a different opinion - DYOR

As the real Sir Al said - "it's squeaky bum time". - Sir Alex Ferguson
I normally just sit and watch you children play n but Wlwith all the garbage being said at the moment this wise old poem sprang to mind -
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
AVACTA reminds me of the old betamax VHS battle. Betamax was seen as many as the superior technology but VHS was just quicker to the market and better advertised/marketed.
Doesnt matter how good u are. If u are slow to the party then there's risk.
I just hope avacta isn't betamax
