Cam, I'm not precious at all about how it works for me but it might not be what you want. I personally would steer clear of investment mags, (including on-line such as the Motley Fool as an example). I never, ever read broker forecasts as they are worse than useless. They tend not to be helpful often enough and its just another cost which eats into the profits of your stock picks. But that's just my experience.
How and what you decide to invest in will be coloured by your time frame and (profit) expectations. I am not a Buffet fan but if you are going to invest in something for a while, at the very least 6 months, then I think it is very helpful to understand the business and what it does. Personally I am happy to buy more of a stock that's rising rather than more of a stock I own that is falling in price. (Never catch a falling knife is term used to buy more of a stock you own that suddenly goes down in price)
Are you going to be a value investor (ie look at the fundamentals of the business cash flow, debts, capital, profit etc) or use TA technical analysis such as looking at price charts and the patterns they create to try and guess the next move? How active do you want to be? buying and selling a few times a year or a few times a week?
Lots of things to mull over but truly if you don't have a plan (whatever its based on), ie why are you buying now, what so special about the SP right now ? what price do you expect it to go to? what price would you sell at If you have made a mistake. How long do you expect to hold this stock?)
If you don't have a plan it becomes difficult, nigh impossible to judge if you have picked successfully due to your expertise, or just got randomly lucky. (I can tell you now if its random you will lose more than you win and by some margin.)
Most Pi's lose more than they win in this game. That should tell us all something!

Good luck

a few typo's!!!
If its anything greater than 1% then certainly taking your stock with 80% up already, could be put into a company with divs in exccess of say, 3%? that way you are getting 3 times more than elsewhere and you have the chance of capital appreciation to boot?

Cam, Its up to you of course, but part of the decision making process might be to determine what you expect from your "investments". If its anything greater than 1% then certainlt aking toyr stock with 80% up already could be put into a company with divs in access of say, 3%? that way you are getting 3 times more than elsewhere and you have the chance of capital appreciation to boot?
Part of the process might be a time thing. For instance if you have had an 80% return within a year or less that's fantastic, however if it has taken 10 years maybe not quite so impressive? So what do you want as a return and how soon do you want it?
If you think your current investment is running out of steam and that there is may be another 10% or so likely left in it, can you identify a stock with a better chance of a better return over a similar timeframe. Get these things clear in your mind and then it should help in you deciding what to do. (And Please, please forgive me if you do know all this because I am talking to you like your are a complete novice and if you have had an 80% return I don't think you need any help !) all the best

I wish you luck cam in all your choices: Here? Well, in all share purchases, timing is everything ( maybe life too, but that's for another day !). Me personally I have been very lucky with this stock, even at the 100p levels I fluked a win. But it depends on who you talk to. If you had bought at 100p and stuck with it you are looking at a 95% loss and all the talk of it moving 2 or 3p does not help very much! and Imagine its one of the worst investments ever.
However, on the other extreme, If you had the fore sight (or luck) to buy in at around 1p you have seen a 400-500% increase in less than a year" so as I say, timing is everything.
My tip and forgive me if you already know this but, only buy what you can comfortably afford to lose. (That way you sleep soundly at night). And when you buy have a target price where if it reached it you would sell, and also if the SP fell, a price you would sell at so you know, before you purchase how much loss you might be opening yourself up to, but each to his own.
This board here is a very helpful and collegiate place with a variety of views entertained and discussed always in good humour. Good luck

The SP just needs a little push to clear 4.8p as it making a double top pattern and finishing above that will destroy it. (its not a big deal as the SP would have to fall below 4.4p for it to "trigger" more falls and confirm a DT. I only mention because its there at the moment)
Given the upward momentum it is more like that further gains are coming, if it closes above 5.0p then its set to challenge the recent all time (closing) high of 6.4p.
My take is that because 4.8p and 5.p are relatively so close, particularly in the way EVE moves, that any upward movement will be interpreted as a likely rise onto 6.4p and therefore represent a good entry point for a swift 25% gain (less than 3 months) So a buy today with a stop loss at 4.35p might be the play for new buyers who use charts. Just my opinion of course. DYOR.

What are your expectations Cam, for your next investment?

I agree CI, and given it's only 6 to 7weeks before the official year end figures release, suggests the update then will be ahead of where this update is today. And its been pencilled in already with the acknowledgement that December is also a an "important" month (for which I read a"good trading" month).
I can't see yet what the charts are saying as its too early but this seems a bit artificially muted to me. Given the SP has been at over 6p previously and this is a more up-to date and improved snapshot then I expect still quite a shift upwards from here. But as always, time will reveal all.

well, its all very odd that's for sure. Very big fall after really the best news potentially ever (ie actually selling machines with the XSG product attached). Now a stonking rise? Maybe its to do with the vagaries of the recent consolidation, but it does not feel like it to me.
Maybe a bid or stock building going on in the background? (The "bid" explanation is a bit out there obviously, but if you believe in the tech and now sales are at the very, very start, then this is where you would to come in?)

While I don't doubt the veracity of your post Older, and certainly when you just look at the back log of RNS's over the last couple of years you can see evidence for it but I think what offsets it currently is the recent expansion of collaboration from LG Chem & Daewoong. I can't imagine either co. wanting to develop their relationship further and deeper unless convinced of the likely outcome for them. Similarly the recent share placing at 120p would have presumably required a lot of "due diligence" before the acceptance of those funds being committed to AVCT.
I don't know if we will ever as shareholders know, why its taken as long as it has based on previous remarks from AS on the actual release of the products. is it NDA's? Is it manufacturing supplies?, Is it govt working inefficiently? Is it AS over promising? Who knows but it will all be forgotten if and when the test and therapy's are released to market.

Hi D, yes that stood out to me too. along with the conspicuous absence of mentioning the holy grail of profitability.
However at this stage and I am willing to give EVE the benefit of the doubt as this was a trading update rather than a detailed breakdown and CC might want to keep some ammo in her pocket for the formal year end figures in January to continually surprise/reassure the market going forwards.

Ha! the spread has gone the other way now and is large. no one selling so the MM's are trying to put off buys!

5p is the target and we are about there now. Spread tightened as expected to try and get sellers to release their stock. Sticky fingers could make this a very good day today! good luck all.

Good Find Blown. Lets hope its AVCT tech and if so perhaps AS could release an update even via twitter "congratulating" Daewong on their breakthrough?
Right now late in this Q4 period, it is not unreasonable for some sort of progress to be reported, wherever it is?
Re: the vaccine: This news was going to break if not yesterday then next week, so this is not unexpected but it is unsettling to some to see the media take it up with such reverence and excitement, that will die down soon enough and the doubts will then re-emerge etc etc.. So, nothing has actually changed, (other than maybe Daewongs news, if its us connected to it)

Is it shorted much (in terms of the percentage of the stock)?

What shorters, BB?

I imagine it will be hard for MM's to get stock which might exacerbate the likely SP movement?

AI: " Sell and leave, or if you believe in your original conviction like Myles, hold and shut up"
I think you are on to something here.. Does that apply to all posters or just those you don't agree with?
(In any event i'm taking your advice)

fair enough, points taken

That's fair enough Scardey, but I didn't think "Having said that I'm very relaxed about Avacta's prospects, short, medium and long term. Great company to be invested in and wonderful prospects." needs saying when I already have a holding in this company. Its a given otherwise I would have completely sold out.
But if it makes anyone here feel a bit better, I do very much agree with all that and hope sincerely it works out.

You see ES, that's the bit I don't get: What Agenda? Its irrelevant to the SP on anything you or I or anyone else here posts.
Let me ask you this: Did you expect the SP to be at this level after the update in June from AS? Did you expect the SP to be at this level after the update in Sept from AS? Are you disappointed? Did you think, when he gave his timelines that he was being over optimistic and in fact, you expected this timeframe?
I would like to hear your genuine thoughts to those questions.
I am not trying to be argumentative here or previously, but I am sure you can see that there is a strong body of posters here that simply won't discuss or countenance any aspect of AVCT that involves any criticism.
I have always found that if you pose provocative questions or ideas, you usually get good counter arguments and everyone can benefit. This board is no different but there is quite a lo more of "wheat and chaff" to be processed while doing it here.
