Agreed. It’s worth listening to the feedback videos from Jo Bath and Len Seymour of Oxgene which are on the Mercia website. They give an insight into the value Mercia adds to small high growth companies.

No need to fly to Utah.

Again the point is rapid growth, exploding market. Another lobster coming along nicely.

I like Monday afternoon announcements. A nice surprise at the end of a fine day and a pleasant start to the week.

Looks like you lost your crystal ball ;-)

The yanks love shiny happy people so I can see why the popsters relocated. Missing you already :-)

Wasatch Crest, Bryce Canyon, Snowbird, Alta, Powder Mountain, The Osmonds, what's not to like?

The market leader in an exploding market sounds interesting.

Never mind, we’ll get our kicks from Phillips66

Ah, another aim ski-jump. I can't complain but I've stumbled into a few crooked companies in my time.

Oops, the company is called LiNa but the batteries don't contain Li so that's confusing.

Good spot. Nice to see others promoting sodium. The more the better to spread the word that Na is a viable alternative to Li, not for the EV market imo but for markets like renewable storage and replacement of lead acid. Faradion has the best ESG option being Li free and they're patented up. I don't know anything about Coro so why do you think it's a shame they're entering the market?

Good move imo; shows leadership.

That's been the pattern for months. My theory is we have a well managed buyer in the background. If I'm right, eventually we'll see a holdings RNS.

Glad you’re still alive boards :-)
Put it this way, Mercia’s EV is only 2 and a bit times that of my favourite dog, the old C word. I know which one I’d rather be in but more strength to the MHC elbow and I hope lots of people want to pay to get their health checked. I’d rather spend my money on a bottle of Oban 14 year old or a flagon of Roger’s finest!

I’ve added over the last two days. Either current management will prove the value or we’ll get a bid. The trend is our friend.

Here you go

I’m with Reg on that one. MERC is his top pick and core holding for 2021. Tamzin is a good interviewer.
Now, we just need more than you, me and Reg promoting it. The trend is our friend and we’ll steadily pick up interest.

The mutation on the spike protein helps the virus possessing it to evade antibodies to virus without the mutation, thus rendering the current generation of lateral flow tests (which were developed from virus spike without the mutation) obsolete. You have been warned.

I’m struggling to see how this is worth 10 million quid. It’s a failed fertility business plus The Genome Store. That business was incorporated in November 2019 and did not file any accounts. Its unaudited management accounts for the period from incorporation to 25 October 2020 showed revenue of £1,356 and a net loss before tax of £2,954. As at 25 October 2020 The Genome Store had a net asset value £(2,954).
So MHC paid up to half a million quid for a business with just over one thousand quid turnover. The presentation looks like a lot of addressable market waffle. What IP do they have in what will be a very competitive market?
