Lol! I wasn't swearing. But anyway the Guardian says he favours buying British. So pretty well positioned then hey?

Sorry for typos in my last post.

Have a look at the framework. Type in that title and it comes up first. That's what's in store for us. £5 billion pounds of investment in diagnostics manufacturing for, and supply of key materials. A bit on research. Multiple lots from between £32 and 52 billion. Looks like expressions of interest closed on 15th June. They will have been invited to tender by now imo- just thinking about the normal timeline for these things ( I was a management consultant till quite recently). Would have thought it will be decision time this month unless they are holding on for results of REACH 2 study.
We are going to be clearing the placing shares until the wider market gets that we might be close to getting announcements on tender decisions.
Maximum 4 lots per company. Wonder if the RTC will get 16? There are so many lots in there and not a lot of local companies that are ready to go. Apparently Han**** favours buying British.

Just had a look at the tender document which went out for expressions of interest June 5th. Overall value £5 billion as stated in the Guardian. Broken into loads of lots of value from £30-52 million. Will share properly from my pc in the morning. For diagnostics, and all sorts of related products. Looks brilliant. Max number of lots per company is 4.

Dodge, didn't get to a 45p low. That was a dream you had. It was at 36.50 to sell for a little while. Unless it happened when I went to the loo! But you keep saying it did. Strange really because pretty much everyone on the board never takes their eye off the ball so we all know what the low was.

Ok Dave's.. Bit tired myself. Need more sleep! Glad it's Friday. We've had a bit of a rollercoaster week.
Have a good one everyone. I am going to try to persuade myself not to get my pension out to put in a buy target in at 38.50 to stop Mr Investor getting in at 38p. ;)

Duble D, I haven't got blinkers on. Lets have a discussion about trading? My posts are pretty much focused on the macroeconomic environment related to the firm so pretty much referencing how the news affects us. I am not inaccurate. I am a bit enthusiastic sure. Why not? It's exciting making money. The problem with deramping so that you can jump in and out at a penny less is that you pull the sp down. Can't say I have never traded from frustration but it is counterproductive on 2 counts. 1. The share price is reduced temporarily. Not important in the scheme of things but it can make some people anxious and they sell and lose out in the end. I know there's a lot of macho crap about bedwetters and stuff but I am a woman so I don't find that is something I am attracted to or I want to live up to. I think it's a shame because investment is a driver for our economy and it puts people off- losing tons of dosh that is. So- short term gains at some people's expense and in the longterm it reduces the investment pool.
The second reason it's a downer is related to the first but more specifically to the share you happen to be in. About losing new investors. Right now there are several big firms- Restaurant group, Boots etc who are losing massive share value. Their investors are traditionally attracted to Ftse shares because Aim is seen as risky. As this pandemic goes on FTSE is risky too. The FTSE can not in the best of times deliver the returns that a successful fast growing company can deliver. If you de-rampers and worse-trolls are moaning all day new investors who are risk averse won't come in. But why shouldn't they? They don't mind waiting for the goods. They don't expect instant gratification. This company can deliver much more than a lot of big firms now or for the foreseeable future.
You think investing is a zero sum game played at each others expense. I think investment is about everyone gaining. I will sell after a few months. Someone like MB will be more likely to stay very long. When I go the company will be at a new stage of development -maybe poised for the FTSe 350. It's a little bit annoying when you patronise me yes. Zero sum gain vs everyone gains. We have a different perspective. I am happy with my perspective.

The £10 billion for track and trace was announced at the budget this week. It hasn't been spent. It will be spent. There's a £5 billion tender out for various elements of the contract which went out in June. It's got our name on it.
My mate who is a new investor got in late too. She's a first timer. She's much more relaxed than you are mate. It won't help your investment if you just sit and moan all day will it?

They already have shares so they just took some placing on top. How do you know it's small change? This is an entrepreneurial company who are growing exponentially fast. Not the FTSE. They aren't all loaded.

Welcome aboard Hasiba! Good decision you made there imho.

Because they are already invested and they want to show confidence in their brilliant company Duble D. Unlike you I suspect? Hanging around all day de-ramping away hoping to get a penny off your entry price hey. Bit sad really mate.

Have you sold Mikodox? Regretting it already?

Plenty of confidence there then!

It's a General Meeting. Why are you being so pedantic?

The Guardian has (my summary) : Coronavirus: new outbreak prompts Hong Kong to close all schools; new spike in Melbourne; warning of CV19 storm in South Africa as outbreak accelerates across Africa; reiterates the WHO warning that the virus is accelerating and has doubled in the last 6 weeks. Tokyo pays clubs and bars to close after spike in cases and Leicester businesses in fear over possibility of August lockdown. Finally criticism that test and trace isn't going fast enough or far enough to assuage fears and get people out to shop and spend. ODX time is now. Once the placing finishes clearing this share will rise and rise. You'll be crying if you sell at these prices and you'll be laughing if you buy in a few weeks. I'm committed more or less fully but I am still thinking of giving up another underperforming share and adding with that. No brainer.
Best in class antibody test- part of the government initiated and backed consortium. Capacity to produce 2 million tests a week. 2 different tests finalised and waiting for final MHRA approval and 3 more to come with commercial partnership with Mologic. The lead for the UK strategy, Professor John Bell a regular advocate on TV for the antibody test- channel 4, Newsnight and Sky news coverage too. Fully funded for a massive expansion of facilities. UK Government tender for test and trace strategy is already out and has a confirmed £10 billion investment set aside by the Treasury. Once more - absolute no brainer.

Ft have a few stories relevant to us today. Millions of UK Jobs Still at Risk, Warn Business Leaders. UK Consumer Spending Down Despite Reopening of Hospitality Sector. WHO says the virus is accelerating (yesterday). Official Data Show Test and Trace Target Missed. A perfect storm imho.

And the WHO have announced that the virus has doubled in the last few weeks. So still accelerating. US still accelerating. Spikes in Tulsa after Trump rally. And we're opening up a lot more in the UK. Don't know if it's just the Sky thing. Might just be the coincidence of these pressure points at the same time as such bad news from the rest of the UK employment context. It's like this has to work. Constant emphasis on the need for confidence to make a return to work happen. Maybe?

You've done well then if you got in in March ain't ya? No. Doing my cleaning and having a dance. You take a look. There's a little box at the top of the menu with all the RNS'. Don't be so lazy mate!

I was thinking of cleaning my house Lifesgoody. Now I will have to watch the government briefing! Laters everyone. Hold onto 'them golden nuggets' ;)

Are you invested? There's been loads of blue days after RNS' here. We've gone blue because buying has increased. There's been some tv coverage about antibodies apparently.
