Maybe the share trading will begin to behave normally now - oh hang on, TB still has some warrants doesn't he? Nonetheless, truly amazing outcome, credit to those who kept the faith.

Surprised to see no large movement, neither up nor down. You'd think something would have leaked, or we'd have been encourages to sell on a brief rise before the vote. Still plenty of relatively large trades going on.

Also complained on-line:

12.30 BBC News today reported that Interferon-beta had been proven to be ineffective in the fight against covid. True for the injected version but WHOLLY INACCURATE for the SNG001 inhaled version which BBC reported first dosing of at Hull Royal Infirmary on 13/01/2021. This was the start of a worldwide phase III trial as phase II results were very promising indeed. Your report today was factually incorrect, misleading and potentially damaging to Synairgen, the British manufacturer.

But sadly, they showed it in red as one of the treatments proven not to work. Have they not heard of the inhaled version?

Temptation is to over-trade. It's one of those days to go away and check back later.

In October last year, on hope, SP was over £1. Now that we know what's coming for the immediate future at least, SP is hovering just under £1.

It can't be that today's confirmation was baked in to the SP last year, so it just goes to show what a fickle bunch we are. You would have expected some IIs to take this opportunity wouldn't you?

You have to wonder at the number of posters offering helpful advice to sell. Why today?

Fact or opinion?

It would be good to see Gerard Brandon buying some now at the same price as PIs - confidence booster to follow up the Tweets.

It's ironic that on the lse BBs, posters tend to be self-policing and try not to cross-ramp other shares. Then our CEO constructs an RNS to do just that very thing, the consequence of which is that we lose 10% of our investment value overnight.

For sure we might get it back, but I'd rather not have lost it at all and say again, had GB not made that move yesterday, 'our' SP would not have dropped.

It's AIM folks and in the long term, I guess we'll get it back.

Rubs salt in the wound when GB Tweets that his wife "bet it all on #Microsaic. Total faith in what we are going to be doing".

As usual in fact, some of today's post useful and put the RNS in context, both positive and negative. One has to ask, would the SP have fallen so much today had GB's wife NOT sold in favour of a more attractive (and of course entirely valid) investment opportunity. Thanks.

Generally ultra-cautious with reading the news and try to read between the lines, but find it impossible to read anything negative into today's RNS. That makes it a great step forward for shareholders in my view.

...if they do, grab a shoe, and WHACK 'em 'til they're black and blue. #OHDH

AJ Bell: 2.4 to sell, 2.426 to buy. Tight spread!

Anyone up for trying some dummy trades - buy and sell, just to give us a clue?

Couldn't shake private investors off by dropping SP, now perhaps trying the opposite, shake them off by juicy rise to get some to sell. Isn't it better to hold at this point?

Brook it's quite simple really. You bought at between £3 and £5 so you're sitting on a shedload of profit. Only you know whether that's enough for you or whether, as many do, this might be a long -term investment now rather than a gamble. My money might be on a takeover but who knows.

Mr. Shemmans is 54, joined Ricardo in 2005. Market doesn't seem perturbed by the change and maybe it signals a change in focus for Ricardo, already happening in fact. Great business.

As (if) pandemic focus relaxes a little, the mental state of the nation will need to be addressed. A large part of the population seems to have adapted of necessity to keeping apart, but the implications for our children are grim. Many will need support and all have access to mobile apps.

The right product at the right time?
