None of mine have minus yield and the price to buy has gone up in all of them.

Low yields but usually safe. If you sell you have to await the next days price . And receive the money in your account the following day. Then you can buy shares. Definitely not for someone wanting to put it into gilts for a few weeks. In the situation that we are in bond prices should edge higher. But you would have to wait about 9 to 12 months to make a reasonable profit. Far better to hold for the long term. Novacyt and bonds complete opposite ends of investing.

Bonds!

GSK, Abcam, AstraZeneca , or gov bonds . Although I have a lot in gsk I’m very tempted to add.
Or play it safe and buy gov bonds through vanguard.?

Now is the time to be buying especially footsie 100

Back in at 1168 in case of a bounce, otherwise hope for 11000 then in again.

Not to be touched until 1140 ish and I don’t mean the time.

Now there’s an idea, invest in water companies!

Well done, very good point and sensible comment. Don’t have shares here but it gives me a bit of a laugh reading some of the herd mentality stuff.

It will take up to six months for the test to be completed.

Mologic ltd has been given 1million pounds by the government to make test kit for the virus.
Why didn’t they give it to novacyt .

Just bought 150, I was going to add more but have a lot in now so £6000 awaiting for Abcam although it will have to drop a lot.

I’m with you. Better to wait, even if the some shares go up so what. There are other opportunities.
I was tempted to buy Abcam to day but going to wait. As the virus causes more disruption to the markets it follows that when the overall market goes up it will be a dead cat bounce.

I have a fair amount in gsk and if there is a whisper as with other companies about testing of a vaccine the share will jump as the herd will arrive. As I’ve said before 16000 for gsk and 11000 for Abcam.

Down over 900 points. This should be an interesting day. Sea of red coming up.

You had better buy in again as the shortage in NY will send the herd on a run.

Dogs, you did well then. I wouldn’t touch nov with a barge pole. I would if they had money and profits behind them. GSK is a solid company and worth adding on good falls. Good divs and when the split happens you will do ok. They may well be taken over at some stage as I think a lot of companies will be looking at mergers etc. Some big Parma companies in the states. Abcam are also good with there reagents although it will be interesting to see if there products are used within the covid 19 vaccine searches . And if so how many sales. This is an area I have no knowledge. Stick at it and hope you make money.

Yep cdc at the moment the labs take 72 hours but the new kits should be a lot shorter. And I didn’t say cdc didn’t go overseas.

Mmm, I like a 30 year old man. Sorry I could not resist, that had me in stitches you made my day.

They make there own. Alabama supplied by the good ol USA . China making there own.

Tha should of been 15000 for gsk
