Roundtable Discussion; The Future of Mineral Sands. Watch the video here.
I'd love it to be about Avacta BUT we'd be seeing a huge amount of buys if that was the case as more people than just Mat H would be in the know. I suspect he may just be discussing Leicester and perhaps locking other areas down. I hope I am wrong though
Absolutely correct MAJWandCo. However it does appear that some people will jump to such conclusions. Nowt strange as folk. I would not be surprised to get an RNS at close of play or first thing tomorrow morning and I'll sure as hell be holding onto all my shares until then....and possibly beyond.
I really do believe that everyone is reading far too much into the 2nd Tweet.
The last line of the introductory paragraph says it all for me: "We therefore conclude that surveillance should prioritize accessibility, frequency, and sample-to-answer time; analytical limits of detection should be secondary."
Avacta are merely pointing out that their upcoming Rapid Antigen Test will tick what a panel of experts deem to be the number one priority. I think that anyone then deducing that high sensitivity is in doubt, is making a huge and hopefully incorrect assumption.
Not according the 10k & 5k seller it's not going anywhere. 4 x 10k and 2 x 5k sells in a 10 minute period. Why on earth would anyone sell at this point in time when it's clear what has been signposted? Smacks of desperation to me. Surely if you were short or had a SB short open then you'd be clever enough to realise that the time to close is being squeezed dramatically.
I think we ought to clarify that the shares being exercised under the EMI are not those that have been given to staff as an incentive in Jan/Feb this and last year. Those incentive shares of approx £3000 per person value were issued via the market at that time. The EMI shares appear to be over and above these and are only issued and only become taxable to the staff member upon request of exercise. So if my understanding is correct, it is the staff who have requested issue of these shares. Perhaps someone with a greater understanding of such a scheme could clarify.
News of a possible tie up that would provide a fresh source of income....plus one day closer to the much anticipated news on saliva test or BAMS test...plus one day closer to issue of shares to employees under the incentive scheme...plus ever increasing numbers of infected worldwide....
And we end up -4.6%. Only on AIM.
Ah well, not to worry as i added a few more again early afternoon and just before the close .
