CH, its more about profits than revenue

Rock, it wasn't me who agreed with this. Pl75 just posted what he thought was a fair argument. I just said if that was the case then why would you then need mass testing?

Mattaboy, this is the bit I struggle with... "Covid proof". The recession through unemployment is only just starting. Christmas parties are not going to happen (They are already being cancelled) Even home parties will be effectively banned due to the power of 6.Therefore higher youth unemployment coupled with nowhere to go.
So it will be interesting to see how well Boo do over the season. if they exceed their growth targets in spite of this then it really will be a difficult to see why they should not carry on and grow at a rate of knots that should lead to a higher SP.

Pl you said: "There’s a fair argument and a growing number of scientists that are saying lock up yer grannies and let it run through the population. The economic damage and health problems due to routine healthcare being paused is far more damaging than a bunch of old fogies popping their clogs a couple of years earlier. They’ll be keeping an eye on hospital admissions, which are rising, but if they don’t get near capacity then I doubt anyone in govt will be concerned about it circulating."
In which case it pretty much negates testing on any sort of scale, or am I missing something?

mow, face coverings are all but useless. sterile surgical masks, close fitting and only used for up 2 hours, are designed to stop droplets falling into the patients open wounds on the operating table. (contrast that with the range of non sterile face coverings on display).Bacteria, which typically masks are used for, are much larger than a virus, about 10 times larger. Or, a virus is about a tenth of the size of a bacteria. If masks are so effective then why has the infection rate continued to rise? The WHO reported that originally they said masks were ineffective in controlling the spread and their change in recommendation was for "political" reasons, not medical. This does not make people unbalanced just because they have a different view on face coverings.

The greater lesson KJ, if you don't mind me saying (and I really , really hate the term bed wetters), is the fear share holders experience when a stock is falling is because they are over committed. The saying "don't bet more than you can afford to lose" needs a little more understanding I think.
I would imaging most here could afford to lose somewhere between £5-£10k in absolute terms. yes it could be very difficult but in the great scheme of things over time, they could weather the discomfort and inconvenience that loss would mean.
But thats not what is meant by "don't bet more than you can afford to lose" What it means is what ever the loss is that you cause you anxiety, and that could be as little as (relatively)£500 or £1000. So, what I read here is that when the SP goes down 10, 15, 20% from the buy in price of the individual they become anxious and fearful of the loss of money, because emotionally, its more than they can afford to lose. You think that's rubbish?
Can you imagine how you would have felt buying at 400p per share and it falling to 320p if you had only bought £100 worth of shares? you would have been sitting on a £20 loss. I don't think that would keep anyone here up at night or needing to post? What you you think?
Only ever bet with what you can afford to lose, but understand what that amount is. be honest with yourself. (its not like you have to talk to anyone about it.)
Learn that lesson and life playing this game gets easier, a lot easier
And finally as lessons go here is another corker...
Its actually hard to get rich quick, but surprisingly easy to get rich slowly. If you are still in your 30 or 40's you have decades to grow your income, you don't need to double it every year, If you can make 10%-15% a year life will end up pretty sweet.

Steve, has it not stopped now already? The low on Tuesday was 339p and now its 338p. If not, what does it have to do for you to think it is a good bet to buy?

Steve: Probably a couple more days of range stability before people start jumping back in on the long term.
Based on what?

Based on what steve?

Devils advocate KK, we don't yet I think know the full story yet on boo's involvement. If it turns out they are deeper in with the suppliers than we have been led to believe then that changes a lot I think going forward.
This is a serious question mark over boo: if its basically nothing then great and this is just some noise, but if its bad then it it has got to spill over into their reputation with their endorsers & influencers on the net? Then it can snowball. That's my fear.

That's fair enough F&G, and I don't have any problem with free speech and all the rest of it. But as an example Steve said that he "cherished" my posts. Now, Steve and I have had quite a few run ins over the last few weeks which have clearly irritated him, I was going to say from time to time, but I think mostly, is probably a fairer description. So I could not tell if it was genuine or sarcastic. If I had gushed back with "oh thank you steve…" and he said he was being sarcastic I would have felt pretty foolish and If I had responded back rudely because I thought he was being sarcastic then that would have made me feel terrible. So I deliberately take posts at face value because it is actually very easy to misconstrue a tone and we don't know each other, to know what we are like, what our sense of humour is, what's funny to one might be offensive to another and life is actually a lot more straightforward when trying to communicate to be as unambiguous as possible. I was pretty sure Abe was messing about but that was not my point. And actually what Abe, I think was really saying is that he had no idea what the SP would do, evidence under his system it would go up but then he basically said with Boo, who knows ! In which case he did not trust Boo to adhere to his indicators in which case what was the point of the post? Which is kinda what I asked him.
So I do pretty much get what posters are saying fear not. I just think on forums such as this clarity is key. As for not taking these BB's too seriously well quite, in which case what are they for? Just a bit of fun? That may be your view (and nothing wrong with that), but others may take it very seriously and see it as vital research (that would be a mistake in my view), but nevertheless the posts that come from newbies makes me shudder on the importance that they sometimes seem to attach to views here.

I'm not attacking him TC, its just that PP continually cites his post as though it puts the matter to rest. (For the record I have a lot of time for paul)

Thing is Ben, how would it get noticed? I don't believe for a nano second anybody from the govt reads this BB. The moderators won't unless a post is reported. So who flagged it up? My super conspiracy theory is maybe, some at AVCT look at this board and knew that they would be involved directly or indirectly with the announcement and it was they that flagged it up? (I'm not sure I actually believe that either but I am scratching around as to how & why the thread was pulled?)

PP, won't read this but Paul Scott is not always right (I only mention this because its though according to PP, God has spoken through Paul Scott!)
Paul & I often exchanged views both on forums directly and privately with each other some years ago now. But while I have absolutely no axe to grind with PS, don't assume just because he rates Boo that that by itself means anything. These are your decisions that you should arrive based on your own thought process and methodology. Do not let your self be swayed by others. By all means listen to other views and if they have merit then add it to the mix but don't outsource your responsibilities to anyone.

F&G I take things literally in posts because its very difficult to understand a "tone" of a post. You can't always be right in assuming honesty, sarcasm, humour or whatever the poster may have intended. Invariably it is the readers mood that dictates how the reader takes the post and it often leads to misunderstandings and worse.
I made the comment on Abe's post because (s)he gave reasons why the share should rise and then put in a cop out if it went out in a jokey style. But I read it that there was a desire to tentatively make a prediction backed with reason (which I like very much), but then if it did the reverse then there was the fall back. Keeps Abe's integrity intact either way on this board. One, who cares what anybody thinks of each other and 2 you have an opinion, stick to it don't worry about being wrong. (Even if that opinion is " I don't know what will happen")

Able, how does expect the unexpected help in decision making? Will you just do the opposite of the indicators?

Hi oracle :Is there any actual reason for gaps to be filled (about 90% of the time) or do we think these are more like self-fulfilling prophecies where people because people expect a gap to fill they sell down to that level then pour their money back in making it bounce back?

Does it matter?

Yeah, its difficult, you sell your soul pretty much when you go public, but you do get a huge wedge for it but then, its not yours anymore. the family may not like the pressure of funds "telling" them what to do. Can you imagine if they asked one of them to step down?
And as they are already wealthy and have options at any figure they like to invent, all they do is to increase the wealth of us parasites.
Not the biggest incentive I can think of......

nice for us but the BoD?

Sir S: whats in it for the BoD? more regulation, more inspection, and more cost.
