Usually a bullish sign to finish at day's high. Be nice to see what happens if we can break 42p.

[pione3r] 29/4/2020 21:27

bought here at 31p, still got leg to go. Bullish pullbacks. GL

[sbb1x] 29/4/2020 20:59

You mean you sold like I did ?

[dealy] 29/4/2020 19:19

you don't lack decisiveness

[owlbaby] 29/4/2020 18:25

rallies are getting weaker, might bail out, its hard to know


wonder what the return on this has been - here goes an estimate


Available on chart With in reach
Low High Days Low High Max Low High Max
16 Mar 18 Mar 28 44* 16 n/a recouping losses

23 Mar 25 Mar 2 30 38 8 32 37 5 got the plot
3 Apr 14 Apr 11 24 41 17 28 40 12
16 Apr 17 Apr 1 33 36 3 33 35 2
22 Apr 29 Apr 7 33 39 6 34 39 5

* Great post by ltcm1 "its a fishhook,don't take the bait"!

Average invested between 23 Mar - 29 Apr - say 35p on call for 37 days

Return on capital available on chart 8+17+3+6 = 34p! & "within reach" 5+12+2+5 = 24p. The return might not be that bad if you kept 35p spare or inefficiently invested & made 10p in 37 days with the upside that it might of broken out with you holding 21 days or the 37 but that at risk on 16 days, disregarding opportunity costs & the annoyance factor.

Why can't they just run it better?

[velvetide] 29/4/2020 10:26

Another encouraging day, this stock would however win any running on the spot contest by a mile, if only that were possible

cheap as chips and sluggish as a slug slithering in pitifully in the dark without without direction. the price meanders like the painful index of procrastination at the highest volume of trades on the market each day, dithering purposelessly in a vacuum

Just spotted something interesting in quite the opposite investment environment just now - covid 19 testing.

You may be aware the government invited 4 companies to form a Rapid Testing Consortium to get a reliable test asap when the tests they procured turned out to be substandard. i.e. opposite of sluggishness. There is another company called Mologic connected with the RTC that Boris visited early in March that is making exciting progress in testing.

Guess what?

One of the RTC companies is Abingdon Health Limited and Mologic itself are both both on the National Innovation Campus, Sand Hutton, York - a Capita site.

Capita's science business FERA is the main occupant there. The National Innovation Campus came out of deal with the government when Capita acquired it along with rules no doubt on fostering its purpose. You'd have thought there must be positive PR out of it somehow, wouldn't you? It couldn't be too non core/ non refocus/ consultancy /digitalisation focus for a mention if you are meeting the terms for maintaining an Innovation Campus like that. Special security & lab safeguarding perhaps?

2 years ago the company raised 700m in new equity from investors. over the past 2 years they have had reasonable success in improving the business and improving the balance sheet through disposals and more efficient operations. Now the market cap is just 550m. Looks very cheap to me

[sbb1x] 23/4/2020 09:27

Cheap as chips this.

[the canadian mounted] 22/4/2020 17:17

Just a question of holding,this has
Hit 42p recently and capable of much more
No brainer really,help yourself chaps !

[sbb1x] 22/4/2020 16:00

Good luck chaps, This is a traders dream.We will be going up soon enough

[dealy] 22/4/2020 15:53

I cant understand why this company is trading at an all time low. many new service opportunities for them from government, IT, logistics. They can furlough unwanted staff, they can get a cheap loan, they can hold on to this quarter VAT for a year. Much of the hard work has already been done getting this into shape

[dealy] 22/4/2020 10:11

I just bought

[sbb1x] 22/4/2020 09:56

Time to buy ?

[gotnorolex] 21/4/2020 14:32

Like yesterday someone's putting a whole lot of stock on the order book at sub 40 prices, as soon as it dries up we'll see direction.

[owlbaby] 21/4/2020 13:42

today looks like a repeat of last Thursday, wonder when it'll turn up

HMG is fast releasing that cutting contractors to the bone is cutting their nose to spite their face! Major contractors are also aware of loss leading tenders eventually lead to irreversible losses and bankruptcy. The mantra of too big to fail will end when we reset corporate governance post corvid.
