Some decent buys going through - might even end up blue for the day.

It just sucks that we're being ripped off as usual.

Right now bid is 0.20 and ask is 0.23 that's a 15% bid offer spread.

Outrageous !

Nothing like a bit of gouging to make your Monday morning.

Got this message from Barclays this morning.

"The global COVID-19 pandemic means that markets are currently experiencing exceptional levels of volatility. As a result, normal market operation is likely to be affected by these conditions and you should bear this in mind if you are placing orders to buy or sell investments. In particular, you may find that the spreads on certain stocks or ETFs (that's the difference between the buy and the sell price) may be much wider than usual and the availability of Quote & Deal could be impacted at times."

Nice to see it's still being talked about and reported.

It's like Christmas all over again for the MM if you sell just now.

Hang fire for a while and this will bounce very nicely.

That RNS has just appeared for me despite it showing as being released at 7am.

I did check the usual sources so confused re the delay.

I agree it's good to get an update to reflect the current reality of what's going on in the world.

If I recall correctly AP said the shares should be worth 1.4p as a minimum

Nice to see a surge in positive trading today.

Also got a polite reply from Caitlin thanking me for the enquiry about the funding status and as expected stated that any such announcements would need to come via an RNS.

The fundamentals are there. The share price resilience to the CV situation give me a lot of confidence.

The good news keeps trickling in.

Just need to wait for the JV signing this month for something massive to start happening which will reward us long therm holders.

"Unfortunately the ban is only on shorting stocks identified on the Spanish and Italian markets so there is no disparity in the marketplace. Can't see the FCA having the balls to go for an all out ban, good as it might be."

p_oo_p_ing themselves

Thanks Nomlungu

I'm aware it's a temporary ban, just for one day in the UK, whatever you call it, it reins them back in and if you look at the South Koreans who have banned short selling for 6 months as a model, it is not unlikely that the FCA will introduce a more substantial ban/suspension to offset market volatility if this continues.

In any event the shorters will be ****1ng themselves this morning

Nice to see the scum getting some of their own medicine.

Time to recover now.

Some positive news to limit the scum taking advantage of other people's misery.... however the MM have a get out of jail free card

" Exemptions to the measure:

This measure does not extend to transactions undertaken by market makers who have notified the FCA of their intention to employ the market maker exemption in this financial instrument and who are included on the list maintained by ESMA of market makers permitted to use the exemption. This exception only extends to those transactions that market makers undertake as part of their market making activities. "

That's an excellent point Mullaney

If VAST heads blue in the early part of the day we could see some significant gains here.

I agree that while the current volatility is shocking all round, the impending Diamond JV is helping us keep our head above water

From reports the Asian markets have been very volatile with big swings eradicating the losses from earlier trading. The ASX was up 4% at the end of trading.

Lets hope we see a bounce today.

Good luck all and hold your nerve
