Having said that it's slipping, in fact the chart has been upwards for some months now - and there'll always be a bit of retail selling.... .

Lol!

It's slipping on very thin retail trading, but that's all it takes I guess.

Unilever's FY results came out today. Just trying to second guess their decision, there seems to be a reason for them to want the collab with APTA to work. Innovation was mentioned more than once as the reason for increase in profits. For example: 'Deodorants grew double-digit led by mid-single digit volume growth. This included Rexona and Axe which grew high-single digit, driven by ongoing success from multi-year innovations, including our body heat-activated technology and our Fine Fragrance collection.'.

'whilst these two custards are at the helm'! Lol! Great expression!

£12k of buys in the last 30 minutes of trading. Offer about to tick up... . Phew!

A couple of chunky buys... . 1/4 million buys is not to be sniffed at. Nice of Laura to declare her position. Now she's finished selling, are we on our way back up?

I’m sure most are still here. Some profit taking was expected, and the tick down in SP is on very thin volume. MMs need to ‘make a market’ and undoubtedly can by pushing the offer price down to the level that another 8.3 type investor can’t resist the temptation. Is the question about who will jump in first to buy a decent stake or where is the bottom? Either way, when a deal is announced, it’ll be at a decent premium. Is it worth the risk to jump out just for a small profit? Not for everyone given the very realistic chance of a better premium later… .

Lokiloo- they won’t boot down your door if you say how great they are and help them get even more power by working g with them to crush all opposition no matter how reasonable. You may even make some money with your trump-musk related investments and be able to buy yourself a bigger car! And who would say no to a bigger car!?

Bloomers has finally persuaded me. I’m on your side mate! Let’s ban those pesky exploding paper straws and exploding condoms that can fall into terrorist hands. Back to plastic straws and each having 12 kids like Prime Minister Musk! And let’s all invest in Trump/Musk industries- their profits will undoubtedly increase as competitors are shut down. We will all be rich as a result and so poverty eradicated! This means Lloyds shares will increase in price! Brilliant!!!

BB - Great post. Does that mean we should sell Lloyds? I thought you'd find this funny: It's the definition of corruption from the Oxford English Dictionary: 'the process by which a word or expression is changed from its original state to one regarded as erroneous or debased. "a record of a word's corruption"'. Lol! Let's talk about bin collections! Lol!

Unilever contract seems the one likely. to materialise the first. Any views about the timeline we are looking at? Given they've started in-person tests, I'm guessing within the next 12 months.... . But any views of less than that (with explanation to your reasoning if you can)?

Ilri - Terminals two and five are the ones being expanded. Terminal Five is earmarked as BA's terminal for long haul, and terminal two for short haul. Heathrow is essentially BA's airport as the dominant UK national carrier. You're right that competitors will benefit a little, but the main beneficiary will be BA - IAG. There are some lovely airports around the world that become places to look forward to go to/transit (look at Seoul's relatively new airport for example). Heathrow is not one of those but has the potential to become that, and therein lies the boost for the BA experience. Likewise when it comes to an extra runway, and the eventual shift to non-jet fuel airline travel (dealing with the noise issue). The latter we're talking about 30-50 years from today in reality, but the former looks increasingly set for 2029.

Heathrow Terminals and terminal 5 expansion funding to be announced today. Upgrades etc.

Hardup - good article. Thanks.

T Tread: Good 8.3s for sure. One also show that the sells are retail - small PIs acting via a nominee account... .

Pat I’ve got too much time on my hands! Lol! Good luck buddy!

Pat - To be fair, the SP doubled on news of the initiation of the formal sales process, paused for a bit, and doubled in the week after. It takes time for people to make up their minds. Not everyone jumps in on day one. It takes time for news to travel. It takes time for people to do their research. Those big buys last Friday afternoon ten minutes before close show all that. You're right about holding if you have some. But in the meantime, other people may want to jump in - as they had last week. A lot of the time that happens because of momentum and sentiment propelling the decision people are going to make to becoming an immediate decision. That's why the expectation was that today the momentum would continue. You're right - no one knows what price this will land at. But there's been some good reasons for prices up to and around 10p. 40p is a little bit more speculative, based on some AI engagement one punter did, and on the basis that a large company like Haliburton just want the in on the tech to get that advantage and at scale, so would be willing to pay more than the IP is worth as they'd get more than the IP is worth back. All of it seems well argued and well placed. But I agree. Hold if you have some already.

In all honesty, a 10% gain on the day is pretty good! Let's face it. There's plenty of time ahead of us! There'll be more buying in due course given the fundamentals... .

The point about profit taking is interesting. FINU started about the same level that NTQ started. And is now over 10p. How about those that took profit at 3p? They'll have been kicking themselves, we can all be sure, when we look at FINU's share price now. If they had invested £5k, they'd have a healthy lump sum now. Ultimately, there is day trading which is risky, but there is a different type of trading which looks at fundamentals - what does the company have to offer? Who is leading the company? Who is backing the company? NTQ isn't some grubby AIM hole for your money, with the CEO ramping up the SP and people piling in on the back of sentiment. It's a Main Market company, with an excellent board and some very knowledgable backers who continue to back the company. Make your own mind up. Do you want a multi bagger for your investment, or are you happy with a few quid. Both are valid, but this is one of those few times that I can see this being a multi bagger not because the herd are here to make a few quid over a couple of days, but because of the fundamentals. I don't want to be kicking myself when this gets to 10p. That's my view. GLA.

Henryb - Interesting point. With Finu, there was an enormous rise too, and some profit taking, but because volumes of buys at low price was so low (amount of shares in circulation low, similar to NTQ), profit taking happened, but the SP also recovered quite quickly. I'm guessing the same will happen here - there weren't that many people buying at the lower prices here at NTQ, and plenty of people buying 1% or 2% chunks of the company, who will be waiting for the RNS with the multibagger price the Directors and Gneiss have achieved.... . Anyway, I wish you luck.
