IsthisaWinner, I think the divi was paid to crash the market cap.
Its all about the market cap from here!
With free float low and market cap low, perhaps lots of cheap placing shares can be created.
Depends on the dilution and the placing price.
As I stated, lower the placing price the better for LTH. The number of placing shares would counterbalance my rationale and perhaps may be detrimental to my LTH?
Anyway, lets see how next week unfolds.
King Trevor has been very good to BRH shareholders in the past! Divi payment next week!
Savvy, this reminds me so much of NCYT.
We even had Seadoc in the mix as well!
After the initial impulse move, share traded sideways for what seemed like eternity, until the sales numbers filtered through, then the rest as they say was history...
Main difference, Syme will just keep on giving ...
Guardian reporting on B117 variant. I had not heard of, 'S gene dropout' before reading the article:
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jan/01/now-coronavirus-variant-us-since-october
There is this quote from the article, "The existence of a new and highly transmissible Sars CoV-2 variant was announced by the UK’s health secretary on 14 December, after Covid-testing laboratories reported that a growing number of their positive samples were missing a signal from one of the three genes their PCR tests use to confirm the presence of the virus."
The “S gene dropout” was the result of mutations in the gene encoding the spike protein which the virus uses to gain entry to human cells. The variant is thought to have been circulating in the UK since September.
Did B117 originate in the UK? It isn't clear, yet.
Speaking about the B117 variant in the US, there is this quote from Eric Topol, head of Scripps Research Translational Institute, “It has probably been here for a while at low levels – but you don’t see it until you look for it.”
Article states If B117 really is widely established in the US, then travel bans are unlikely to work, Topol added: “The variant is likely to become dominant [within the US] in the next few months, so what we need to do is to outrun it through a combination of really tight mitigation measures, including surveillance and testing, and vaccinating like there’s no tomorrow,” he said. “The vaccines should work fine.”
Even if the variant identified by Helix isn’t B117, the nature of some of the mutations it contains are concerning, because they may increase the virus’s ability to infect human cells, added Ravi Gupta, a professor of clinical microbiology at the University of Cambridge, UK, who helped sequence the B117 variant.
OMG! "...like there’s no tomorrow!!!"
Don't shoot the messanger, but ....
That's not the news I want to hear on New Year's day!
Test, test, test
I don't have Haha mystic magical ball to look into the future! However, wearing my Mystic Megs bandana and looking into my beer glass last night I tried, I really tried to view what this innocuous out of hours RNS may imply ......
I reckon King TB will play a blinder and announce a placing!
As LTHs we are due our dividends next week.
What better time to provide funds for Carl's test and to artificially reduce the share price so that our dividends can be reinvested at knock down prices?
This allows LTHs to invest further before the likely rise mid January as we approach news on Carl's Test, THE TEST.
If I am correct, then many will say another excellent move by our leader King Trev. The disadvantaged are the recent holders post divi award.
If I am wrong, sorry.
Will put it down to New Year's Day recovery!!
Thoughts??

Second jab can be applied between 4-12 weeks after the first dose. Two full doses. Longer gap between two jabs improves efficacy!
Matt Han****, UK Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, said: "This is a moment to celebrate British innovation - not only are we responsible for discovering the first treatment to reduce mortality for Covid-19, this vaccine will be made available to some of the poorest regions of the world at a low cost, helping protect countless people from this awful disease. It is a tribute to the incredible UK scientists at Oxford University and AstraZeneca whose breakthrough will help to save lives around the world. I want to thank every single person who has been part of this British success story. While it is a time to be hopeful, it is so vital everyone continues to play their part to drive down infections."
Excellent news for covid ravaged UK and US.

Read the desperation in the US....
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/dec/29/kamala-harris-gets-first-dose-covid-vaccine
Dr Anthony Fauci said on Tuesday morning that Covid-19 has “gotten out of control in many respects” and was expected to increase even more after holiday travel. Fauci’s statements echo his prior warnings, which millions have repeatedly ignored.
Fauci:
“We’re in a very difficult situation....We never got down to a low baseline where you can actually control community spread by identification, isolation and contact tracing.”
IMHO, perhaps the US is out of control. Isolation in the US may now be the only way forward to stop herd immunity without the vaccine?
For the US is mass testing to late???
Testing will still be needed to keep new mutations out at borders. As Sir Jeremy Farrar stated monitoring of new variants like the South African variant which is different tells us it is not about just focussing on vaccinating this country but vaccinating the World!! New variants will come from other countries and eventually they will come here and some of those may escape treatments and some may escape vaccines!!
Fast, sensitive and specific tests are required.
However, track and trace and self isolation is also key!

Jimmy2x, late to the covid party?
This is not a race. We have a global pandemic!
Everything is needed! Everything!
We may be late, but Carl's tests are world beating tests in terms of the 3S's, Speed, Sensitivity and Specificity. The best tests are needed world wide!

Daily Mail reporting:
Hopes all over-50s can be vaccinated by spring to save UK from hell of surging second wave - as NHS chief says medics are 'in the eye of the storm' and hospitalisations and cases pass first-wave peaks.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9094341/Hopes-50s-vaccinated-spring-save-UK.html
Well the mood from yesterday's headlines has quickly passed. Unfortunately, it looks like Sir Jeremy Farrar was correct.
Stay Safe.

Guardian reporting that with the new Covid variant everywhere, it's not enough to just wait for the vaccine. New UK-wide restrictions are now essential.
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2020/dec/28/covid-vaccine-uk-restrictions-independent-sage
"It is now clear that variant B117 of Covid-19 is already established in all parts of the UK. Being an estimated 56% more transmissible than pre-existing variants, it is likely to constitute 90% of all cases by mid-January. According to UK government briefings, even current tier 4 restrictions are insufficient to deal with its spread. Indeed, no single measure is likely to be sufficient to bring the pandemic back under control. Rather we need an integrated response that brings together all the instruments we have to deal with the infection."

Daily Mirror reporting Oxford coronavirus vaccine approved 'in days' and lockdown 'over by February'
https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/oxford-coronavirus-vaccine-approved-in-23227624
Interesting...
Try and listen to the Director of the Wellcome Trust Sir Jeremy Farrar (guest-editor) on R4 TODAY at 6:42 on 28/12/20 stating going onto January 2021 is going to be extremely difficult across the whole country!
Schools reopening, Universities reopening, ending of National Lockdown (on 2/12/20) going into Christmas and Christmas relaxation puts additional pressure on the NHS as we go into Winter when pressures are at their greatest.
Will schools reopen on January??
Sir Jeremy Farrar states the argument is finely balanced. Schools opening is an absolute priority. But Society will have to balance keeping schools open. It is ultimately a trade off. You cannot have everything. The whole of society opening, schools and Universities opening and keep R below 1 with this variant.
In Sir Jeremy Farrar opinion:
New transmissible variant adds 0.4 -0.5 to R
Schools may adds 0.2-0.3 to R
Very close to 1 without assessment of contribution from relaxation over Christmas!
Vaccines are light at the end of the tunnel. But they are not going to change the pandemic in the short term! We are going to see pressures over the next 2-3 months!!
Newspapers reporting UK will be free by Feb thanks to the vaccine. True?
Sir Jeremy Farrar states No! We are not going to be free of the Pandemic by February. This is now a human ENDEMIC infection.
Target of 1M vaccine jabs a week needs to increase and monitoring of new variants like the South African variant which is different tells us it is not about just focussing on vaccinating this country but vaccinating the World!! New variants will come from other countries and eventually they will come here and some of those may escape treatments and some may escape vaccines!!
Well IMHO, this is going to be a long journey. We are only protected when we are ALL protected. At a vaccine rollout rate of 1M a week, roll out in the UK could take 2 YEARS for 2 jabs for the UK alone!
Testing will be central to control. The very best tests are now needed. Present PCR testing is to slow. A faster test is needed for control!
Carl's tests are Fast, Sensitive and Specific.
Could this share be one of the best investments of 2021? Not wishing to ramp so please DYOR!
