Looks like my prediction of 12p was a lucky guess all those months ago.

Interesting logic from Steven. Because not everyone took up their allocation it therefore wasn't oversubscribed. What? Oversubscription refers to the requested number of shares exceeding the maximum available. That's it. Simple. And that's what happened.

The flu vaccine only lasts a year. What's the issue with Covid 19 antibodies if they only last a year? Just get an annual vaccine.

Of course Shaun. All of that is true. I was just looking at the only way a broker could say someone couldn't take up the Open Offer.

Someone else (HH) has mentioned their broker has told them that they can not go with the Open Offer in their ISA. ISA accounts are identical to all other accounts but just are not liable to tax. However if you have reached your £20K max for the year you can not add more funds for the 5% OO allocation.

The share is suspended. The deal that's struck over the Offer Period is based on what's in place right now and since 11 February. Nothing can change. The share is suspended.

MMs know some will be selling to get into the Open Offer. So they know there will be liquidity with some selling cheaply.

Plus Lateral Flow Product? Plus Working Capital? In fact all of it helps the company in general terms and therefore their Covid position.

This placing has to be good news. Why do it unless they were within reach of getting this antibody test design frozen? They lay out what the funds are for and it's mainly for the Covid research. So we're primed and funded for getting the antibody tests out there. The government will be buying them.

Spikej, you ask me a question which none of us here will know the answer to. Not even you. He gave shares to new Directors last December from his own holding to avoid shareholders being diluted. That is the only clue we have as to how he could have acted with the warrants. Either he gave them up or was prevented by some rule which we are not aware of , or it was simply they expired and that's it.

You really are clutching at straws for reasons that we would like to know. That is the real question here. Why is Spikeyj so interested in what happened to the warrants? Why would he have so much against a share currently in suspension but being all well as a Nomad has just been appointed when he and others were saying it would never happen?

And when a some new Directors joined the company last December they didn't get a salary, they got shares given from Dmitry's holding to avoid dilution.

There are 2.725 billion shares in issue. Allowing for taxes and all costs involved a sale of MT of $4billion would result in a price per share of £1 quite easily. I don't care about any shorters. I care only about true investors who have been waiting months for a result here with Eurasia. Simple arithmetic shows how possible £1 is.

Not posted here for a long time as I've moved on. However just seen the RNS and it remains clear the Slovene government is continuing with obstructions to prevent AST producing Petisovci gas as a commercial entity. Petisovci gas is there but the Slovene don't want it in commercial quantities for environmental and political reasons in their relations with importing from Russia.

Doing an EIA is fine but the Slovene government will only place another obstruction in the way subsequently. Most likely further unnecessary bureaucratic delays. I see AST is moving on to other locations and that's probably the only way forward.

Can't see a lot of positives there. China's first priority is not the stability of Hong Kong. It's the stability of the Chinese Communist Party. Trump's reaction is the correct one but China's response will damage Hong Kong. The Chinese government doesn't care about much else than the prolonging of itself and the CCP.

HSBC has moved it's headquarters to London as a result of the 1997 handover. It has already spread it's business into the USA and Europe. It will however be damaged by the Chinese government's reaction as it still has a lot of business in Hong Kong and China.

China had already placed the stools apart. Trump has responded now after years of provocation being ignored by other Presidents. Will China bend with the wind?

As HSBC is now headquartered in London are the Hong Kong troubles really that serious for HSBC? There business is now worldwide and even in Asia extends well beyond China. I appreciate China and Hong Kong are important but business continues in China for many foreign companies despite issues with the Chinese government. The risk is there but HSBC are more familiar with it than most other companies with considerable experience of operating in that part of the World.

Hopefully a lesson learnt to never apply stop losses on AIM. MMs can see them and will drop the price to catch them when they can. The RNS provided the excuse to do so. On AIM stop losses just become losses.

Definitely Graeme. The current crop have been a nasty bunch.

Why is it the lunatics run the asylum on LSE? Oh I know, they have an agenda. That's it.

Of course an antibody test is needed:
1. To check people for antibodies so they can go back to work.
2. To check the efficacy of a vaccine.

Omega are almost complete in creating a home 15 minute test kit where everyone can have a result without waiting days for a lab test. Bleeding obvious ain't it?

drunkinftl, I don't post here much because the lunatics have taken over the asylum. I have just explained the point about the possible sale of MT. Ignore it if you wish but it's there and makes your post 4 minutes later look stupid.
