Its very risky imo, to day trade stocks, riskier still small cap, riskier still, small cap/aim stocks with spreads larger than a fraction of a %.
Indices are better, Bonds better still as you would need very deep pockets to move those around falsely.
Successful Day trading is hard, the mental attitude key, the plan the individual has, needs to be proven to the individual to work more often than not. Suits typically, a mentality of a non-gambler. Typically DT's work on margin which increases the potential mental anguish.
The individual will likely learn a lot about themselves if they give it a go.

Hi DG, we will see later today I think. Its taken a little bit longer but it all seems ready to pop to me, but... who knows!
Regards Xmas shopping I think as it will be all on line this year, people will start earlier if they can. Don't want products to be sold out or deliveries, due to demand, take longer to arrive etc? I for instance, co-incidently, started this week on that basis.

Hi raz, I hink that's everybody'd concern right now incl. CC! its just impossible for us amateurs to have the first idea of actually how its going. What makes its harder too, is that profitability is on a knife edge. (I don't mean that in a neggo way). Just that its been such a push to get to here, that it would be darn bad luck if sales just dropped off enough to keep that elusive overall profitability still beyond Eve's fingertips.
Still with the cash in the bank it does underpin the SP I would have thought.( Chartwise it could get a little hairy if it drops below 4p) Fingers crossed it doesn't

StarS you said "As an aside, the grey variant of the original has sold out - which seems incredibly positive when, as you say, it’s their largest line so assumedly was incredibly well stocked."
I don't know why you would assume that? It could be they are keeping stocks very low to not tie up capital? Don't know if they are or not, just would not make your assumption, that's all.

6p spread which is unusual, I think they are short of stock. expect to go back towards 180p again

I infer from the bit about finalising a test it confirms that there have been problems scaling up manufacture. I am musing that tomorrow's seminar will be an opportunity for AS to say that these have been overcome. It looks too well choreographed not to be the case, (in my eyes anyway.)

Well, I guess if that's the case, with all that potential mis and dis information it would be better not to see it!
ha!

Without getting to a supa long thread on this but I am not sure what benefit L2 is in making any decisions or seeing any direction.. The amount of posts on various BB's usually start with "L2 indicates big buys and a rising share price" only for the SP go down, delayed trades to appear or just a confusion with the response... "well, that was odd"
As I say, it seems worse than useless as you can't just do the opposite as sometimes, very rarely it is right.....
Anyway, seems useless to me, certainly based on the comments from posters here that use it, (and that is no criticism of them just the usefulness (or not) of L2 data).

I asked this question this morning Sujood, so, ok confidentiality = NDA. Why, what do you think is so confidential that an RNS can't be released. How long do you think that NDA has been in place? (day, week, month?)
What do either party, or both, gain from an NDA?

This could be my dumbest question yet... but.... is there an NDA between the Govt & AVCT? and assuming there is,
why?
What is so commercially sensitive that requires it? There are several companies products that govt are testing (common knowledge). AVCT's proprietary tech is patented, the govt allows and buys whatever test turns up out of the blue irrespective of its validity or accuracy on a seemingly daily basis, but we are in a news blackout but I can't see the reasons why? Surely its in the govt's interests to keep the public up to date as is AVCT's duty to its shareholders?
I don't see what's gained by this level of secrecy in this specific (pandemic) environment. I am not asking for either the govt or AVCT to say they have been chosen or when it will happen to the day, but simply an update on how the testing is going and when results are likely. For instance what has happened to BAMS? Why can't I find out. I have tried contacting AVCT but they have not acknowledged the correspondence let alone an answer.
It was AVCT that gave the summer timelines originally so it is not unreasonable to have a clearer picture of why they have slipped so dramatically? or is it?

Whats good for DVRG is just as good for us though, isn't it?

Amen

I think rev. CS, now you have finished your brief Sermon the choir here will all yell a big " Hallelujah " but lo, nothing much will change outside these walls....

the price now has broken a tight range of lower highs and higher lows to the upside, which in the great scheme of things won't set the world alight but it does suggest a resilience for the SP. It shows we are likely to go to around 180p maybe today.
As I say, there is no fanfare with this but it is a least from a chart perspective, a small positive in what for many has been an unsettling 24 hours... maybe....

We all know he sold some shares to buy a house. Can we stop posting about it? Nothing can be gleaned any more form talking about it. Its making this board unusable, for me anyway.

We I think, could have all lived without yesterday's RNS. However, when you look back at the various news reports we have had, from the new company broker with US experience and connections, the share option scheme for the employee's, the new member of staff recently recruited with US market experience, the manufacturing deals already announced, none of this would make sense unless the tech works. All of this is planning for an explosive expansion of the business so that when it comes the tidal wave of orders does not sink the company.
AS referred to his frustration with the slow pace of govt however, I imagine that might not be so much the case now. It sounds like (god it would be good to be able to be more definitive!), that the govt at the highest level is aware of what solution AVCT can provide and I think now probably there is frantic work on getting these test validated. But at the same time every announcement says its weeks away. And with every passing week we seem to get no closer!
We will not get any more info until the RNS drops. (And I am sure it will be an RNS before a govt announcement, not the other way around)
So, we are now at a stage where as shareholders, we either sit tight or sell all (or some of )our stock.
There really is nothing left to say. (Although I am guessing that won't stop another 300 posts anyway being posted per day.)

The other potential positive is that the share merry-go-round this afternoon will presumably have got a fair few share holders out who wanted to either protect their profits an/ or some who's risk appetite was breached. These have been replaced by buyers in and around the current SP which in my logic means we will have less sellers now at this level as the new share holders will look to higher prices before deciding when to exit. Which in turn leads to a floor under the current SP and ipso facto, therefore with less sellers, new buyers will have to pay higher prices from here...…..

I only look at the "to Sell" price as that is the only price that matters to me now. We opened today at 180p and closed at 175p on the ambiguous news that AS had sold some shares. Without further explanation there are the 2 obvious scenarios (1 good & 1 bad for those who can't keep up)
The SP normally tells you what you need to know and today's 3% swing is pretty the norm now for this stock.
So I am reasonably assured that the market does not put much, if any, stock in this Director sale, as a harbinger of bad news to follow.
It is unsettling for those who are over committed, because there is a history of missed time scales and we are in fact going through one of the longest, recent periods of no news, and when (today's) news does break it is not helpful in the actual picture we are trying to perceive.
As tree shakes go, (panic induce selling), my view is that it was, today at any rate , pretty much a non-event and as a result, although my frustration level has been notched up (again), nevertheless I will continue to hold and await some actual unambiguous, positive news.
There is a reason why Patience is a virtue

...I think its coming....

Well, this might put my theory to the test. ( It was about 15 minutes and 8000 posts ago), The idea being that to show AS has integrity, he sells in front of good news so as not to be accused of profiteering as it were, given he would know the flak he and the SP would take by selling into a vacuum of further news.
