Personaly, I think that evil genius Greta Thunderbirds was behind it all.
In one hit she's grounded the airlines, taken vehicles off the road and slowed down industry. Master stroke.
What's Swedish for, Muuhahaa ?
Soz, can't stop. Gotta go and take down some 5G towers before my Flat Earth meeting at The Globe.
I'm sure they could have picked a better venue, but hey ho.
Tonights talk is about how corvid-19 is a smokescreen for the coming of Nimbiru. It's really happening.

Anyhoo, Toodles. ;)

Haven't been out TM. Was tempted on Thursday when it dropped first thing , below both my trend lines, but rode it out. :)

Did get a few more on that Thurdays dip just before the bell @ 1.79 though.
Might be play time over for me next week. Easing my way back into to work.
It's okay though. Very isolated farm on me lonesome, rebuilding a stone wall that some delivery driver drove into.
Actually, he backed into it after first taking out the corner of an outbuildings roof. Fixed that already. :)
See you're in tlw also. Mad house over there. lol

Whoa! Don't drag me back into this, if you don't mind.
The only issue I had was the wrongly titled video. Nothing else.
Didn't have an issue with you or anyone else for that matter.
And I certainly wasn't denying that these markets exist. There or elsewhere.
Thank you.

Not sure how that would help.

Sorry, the article was from yesterday.
Good weekend reading for posible investors over in Trumpton. (My nickname for the US) ;)

Just checked, we are listed on the OTC. But, on the Grey market. Whole different conversation that one.

There are infact two listings. Tickers are NXPGF, has had some activity and NXPGY, no data as such.
The NXPGF, at first glance I is see there was an increase in shorts on the 13/03 but hardly any trades since.
Last trade was on the 26/03. Also need to apply exchange rates as it's in $'s.
BTW, the prices don't reset daily. It's based on the last trade, whenever that was.
Here's the link. https://www.otcmarkets.com/stock/NXPGF/overview
Click on the various tabs for more info.

There was a link to an article but it's a month old now. But still relevant I think.

Laters, Si.

Morning. Just had a quick look into these out of hours trades and requires some deciphering.
If you look at the trades for the last part of the day, excuse the formating.
These are from the actual London exchange website not this one.

Some of these flags you may already be familiar with such as Off-book or Automatic Trade (ALGO) and the UT (uncrossing trade) where the exchange balances the books at various times during the day.
Or something like that. :) Look it up for more info.
Normal "O" and "A" trades is what this LSE site shows.
Not quite sure if "A" trades as well as being Algo Bots also may be other automatic trades like stop losses, etc.

The XLON refers to the London Stock Exchage.

The TNCP flag means "Non Price Contribution to Discovery Indicators". I'm guessing (for now) that these have something to do with being out of hours trades and possible linked to also being OTC trades. See below.

SINT is Systematic Internaliser (“SI”) "This is an investment firm which is a counterparty dealing with its proprietary capital and is not a trading venue".
Whether that's a DMA (Direct Market Access) trade or other. Not sure, but it's still off the book.

XOFF states "Immediate / Deferred / No Publication" But I belive is also "off Exchange".
It also states as being OTC.
Which I always though refered to the OTC exchange in the US. OTC= Over The Counter.
Some companies are dual listed both here and on the OTC.
There they can buy stock out of our hours but during their opening times.
I believe these trades are then added to the trades when we re-open. Only so many shares in issue.
That would explain when I set up my charts, pre-open, of a morning their is a flood of trades timestamped to the previous evening when the market opens here.

More confused than ever now, I guess.
Cheers, Si.

Cemi as left the building.
Next!

I don't really want to fill this board with this type of discussion, It's not the place. tbh
Your matter of fact reply, "All the same..", to something that was obviously put out on Youtube to stir up anti-Chinese sentement and feed the media frenzy, in wanting someone to blame, does you no credit. FWIW
As regards the Wuhan Institute of Virology and a possible link. I'll give you this article from The Scientist. A far more reputable scoure of qualitative info than Youtube of wikipeadia, I'm sure you would agree.

We could go back and forth all day, but as it would not be ORPH related, this is not fair on this bb. So I won't. :)
What may have been of use to companies such a Open Orphan is included in the article.

"Chinese researchers “released the genomic sequence incredibly rapidly online. . . . They were very public in sharing the most important first piece of information” about it, McCray tells The Scientist. “The fact that scientists all over the world had access to that genomic sequence” made a lot of early research possible, he says."
Regards Si.

All this tells me is your spreading a fake news video taken in Indonesia being passed off as being in Wuhan.

My son loves an odd Chinese. He's been going out with her for nearly two years.
She's nice, but can be quite strange though, at times.
Irony is though, people here in the west are voicing that they will be boycotting Chinese Take-aways and restaurants whilst in China they are actively asking westoners not to enter their establishments.
Strange old world. :)

You're correct Alan. Last required reporting, under the 3%, he had 11,083,287 left.

Soon, lol. There's only so many soon's a man can take, scored. ;)

Morning Chris. Thought the contract was for five of their ferries. The Forecaster is a cargo ship.
Agree that it's been dire for most previously held stock. But great for grabbing some quality stock at bargain prices.

TBH, scored, that could well have been just a publicity stunt. imo
Like J&J. Doesn't matter if they do or not but it got them in the press for a day or two.
Lots of companies are putting tenuous links to Covid-19 just to stay current.
Think this is the real deal though, for the long term.
GL with it though, regardless.

Did he mention anything about constant updates and patches to the vaccine? :)

Maybe we will get three in April and none in May. Who Knows but the Bod.
Could be running at full capacity already and waiting for an available slot for new contracts.
Happy to wait, regardless of frequency.

Back in te middle of January there was this article posted by speedy that said we had five Stena ferries to work on over the next ten weeks or so.
https://www.cruiseandferry.net/articles/harland-and-wolff-starts-1635-million-refit-on-five-stena-ferries
Been trying to find out how many we have done so far. I recall the superfast VIII
Anyone remember any others?
I see from Chris's ship finder that there were two of theirs moored opposite the dry dock this morning. One, the Mersey has just departed and heading out to sea and the SF VII is moored further up the docks.
I'm guessing that this is must be the terminal where they do their normal Ro-Ro thang.
Thought that maybe one was waiting to pull in for some maintenace.
