I believe it was simply people piling in on momentum without the faintest clue what the company is or does - and who couldn't care less. Someone on here literally said that. Can we all calm down please. (I'm a long-term investor).

Not really: volume is very modest. I'm enjoying the ride, but I suspect a lot of it is froth. We shall see!

I see that CBX is about to join the medicinal cannabinoid offering: anyone's thoughts on the relative merits, please?

I expect the latest UK seabed auction hasn't helped. Profiteering by the Crown along with increasing competition from oil companies trying to diversify - all a bit ironic really.

Given that it happened several months ago and the SP has been on an upwards roll ever since, not much I would have thought. Tens of millions (if that's what it ends up costing) might be a lot to us but it's small beer to SSE. What made you raise the issue now?

Oh wow, I knew wooly was a bit strange but now I can see he's even more unhinged than Trump. Here's a good read old fruit: https://medium.com/curiouserinstitute/a-game-designers-analysis-of-qanon-580972548be5

Wealthy people get wealthier in our sad little system. But why single out Gates (who does a huge amount to benefit humanity and is committed to giving away almost all his money)? How come nobody ever mentions the Arnaults, for example, or the Waltons? I'm curious.

"it would seem the market agrees with me, with the sp being 7% down"

Is that the same sp that's up 25%+ since July?

"But they might give a 25, 50 or even 75% discount, else why should these other companies bother to push it for us?
What's in it for them?"

anon3 I'm in business. I pay full price for my raw materials; I then add a 300% markup to reflect what I bring to the product. Which is good, so people pay it. (Also I never bother with sale offers or "Black Friday" deals). Wait - paying full price for the materials? Am I crazy? What's in it for me?

>> "Can you point me to where it says they're paying for it?"

Sure: "UITC has agreed to place an order for 5,000 boxes ..."

Can you point me to where I can "place an order for 5,000 boxes" (or even one box) *without* paying? Or provide your definition of the phrase "place an order" in a commercial context?

Overpriced obviously. Moan moan moan. Look at the pattern while it marks time, building the business in the background. Trade the waves. When the ask goes below 50, buy some; sell at will. Better than dividends!

Higher highs and higher lows - and 20% above where it was a month ago. I'd call that a pocket rocket.

Two days, at this rate :)

They precisely have been travelling, to negotiate all the deals: a couple of flights + hotels and meals for a few people would soon get through £3400 in a week. I'm surprised it's so low. I'm not sure what point you're trying to make, but this is the last company in the world I'd pin "corporate extravagance" on. SOH's fancy corporate office is his spare bedroom!

Well the blunt truth is we all die. About half a million people a year in England and Wales. But not all in a sudden rush, when they hadn't expected to. Perhaps I could invite all those who think the COVID-19 dead are somehow irrelevant to nominate a relative or friend they are happy to see become one of them next week. If it's somehow pointless doing anything about this, then why do we bother doing anything about any medical condition? Can you explain why some of the most capitalist, free market countries on earth have been trashing their economies trying to tackle this?

"Some people persist in believing that Covid-19 is no worse than a bad dose of flu - they are gravely mistaken," said Calum Semple, the chief investigator on the trial, and a professor in child health and outbreak medicine at the University of Liverpool.
"The crude case fatality rate for people who are admitted to hospital with severe Covid-19 is 35% to 40%, which is similar to that for people admitted to hospital with Ebola.
"People need to hear this and get it into their heads... this is an incredibly dangerous disease."

The exact location of the mass graves is Hart Island. Nothing new about it, it's just the scale of burials went up about five-fold. Plenty of news coverage. See also https://www.hartisland.net/

Yes I'd never heard of Opti (the Australian brand) but what remarkable serendipity. Good news.
