Listen to our latest Investing Matters Podcast episode 'Uncovering opportunities with investment trusts' with The AIC's Richard Stone here.
Before everyone jumps into the freefall lifeboats it has been identified from other share boards that this has been a complete cluster fart by the DHSC and has affected quite a few companies . It could be the media coverage and the fact that it has been expressed that companies will loose money over the non approval status may just focus the mind and persuade them to expediate approval to prevent anymore potential legal action as they were submitted before the deadline . If this comes to fruition and we are subsequently approved then this current share price will bounce back again . Not much granted , we need positive news for this . All complete speculation of course and I could be taking complete bollards, but that RNS to me was like it directed to the DHSC / media .
OK so been given this some thought and although some may say its rather juvenile I had a Citizen Smith "power to the people moment. " I tentatively suggest everyone who is willing send a generic email to the company saying a quick hello to David welcoming him onboard and asking him to introduce himself to shareholders, perhaps a quick paragraph to mention we have legitimate concerns regarding a perceived lack of communications , the share price manipulation and his plans going forward .
Now one or two emails will probably get ignored however 100+ ( I have no clue how many people are on this forum to be honest ) on the same day should at least get there attention stating that we are supportive of the company as proved by passing all the resolutions in the recent AGM however we do not appreciate being left in the dark.
If this posts gets say 20 recommends by tomorrow midday then we can perhaps collectively write a few paragraphs then all send it tomorrow or your own version if you feel so inclined of course.
A bit of a marmite idea appreciated and I can handle being shot down in flames but I just feel it would be an interesting exercise at the very least. I know DA has only been in the job for 2 weeks and have defended his lack of communications myself only a few days ago , however not introducing yourself by now is a little naughty.
I suggest we can then track how many emails have been sent by using the recommend button to confirm every time a shareholder has sent an email on one designated post.
I now feel like Jerry Miguire after writing his " mission statement " at 3am in the morning !
I feel very positive about this company and confident the SP will turn around in the near future but would be nice be kept updated when so many questions are being left unanswered.

WBAFC is a bargain for the NHS he is the only performing quack who performs minor surgery without the need of a anaesthetist, he just sits them down and reads them his posts from this forum , "650K invested, everyone else is rubbish blah blah blah ".......... those patents go out like a light............ "a high value individual one might say !
We all get your not a happy bunny mate and we share your pain , but why constantly vent all this negativity on here ? Talk to the misses , your millionaire friend , the dog , the mirror, the plant pot !
You seem to believe the more you invest the more gravitas your post has . Newsflash no one gives, smaller investors feel just as much frustration as their 1k investment maybe all they have.
If you can afford to invest 650K in the first place you are a very lucky man so be thankful for that.
The story so far but its will have a more upbeat ending , trust me ..........I'm an engineer !
And we'll be singing !
The new Novacyt song ! Work in progress ! Appreciate this is off topic but just a bit of fun.
Once we are at £54 I will invite shareholders to sing a verse each !
A long, long time ago
I can still remember how this share price
Used to make me smile
And I knew if I had my chance
That I could make those dollars dance
And maybe I'd be happy for a while
But April's RNS made me shiver
With every subsequent RNS they'd deliver
Bad news on the doorstep
I couldn't take one more step
I can't remember if I cried
When I read the DHSC contract no longer applied
Something touched me deep inside
The day the share price died !
Even a small piece of the American Pie could eclipse projected revenue for this year. Lets hope we will all be drinking whisky and rye singing this will be the day the shares fly , this will be the day the shares fly !
Commendable Sir , you were probably far too busy communicating tirelessly with shareholders too perform such menial tasks Regards mate , Scott
Shelldonald , I can only assume you don't work in any HR department lol !
DA has only been in for 9 working days mate . I doubt if you knew how the coffee machine worked after 9 days , I take that back you probably did . Let the guy assess what's going on and then make informed statements after the fact . You would probably like him to be obsequious to every shareholders whim alas that's not real life. Communications have been poor can't disagree there but lets give him a little more time.
Porky , good to hear your from you mate, like Kaeren mentions positive posts are unwanted by those with ulterior motives on this forum but the past is just that and with DA behind the helm we need to give him a chance to sort out any mess left behind by it would appear a rather mendacious past GM. We need to remember this share is remarkable value at the moment with a excellent product line and strong cash reserves , it will recover and sure DA is keen to get it back on course after a few gyro compass errors.
All we do here is speculate that's the nature of buying shares in the first place or we would just stick any spare cash under the pillow. Everyone on this forum has made the wrong call at some point or other written on a forum or just thought it out loud. Those whinging at others for making a wrong call need to take a hard look in the mirror , if you are down then its a consequence of you not buying/selling at the right time , pretty simple but almost impossible to get right all the time. For many of us Trump getting into power was perhaps laughable , Brexit surely never going to happen , Leicester winning the Premiership for goodness sake ! My point is you need to take comments on here with a pitch of salt .
Perhaps unlike many on here since the pandemic started I have continued to travel around the globe and its interesting to see the stages in various parts of the world and the levels of acceptance or shear panic of the inhabitants. Everyone , please remember this is not a UK virus or a European Virus it's a global virus and it will be with us unfortunately for years to come anyone who thinks otherwise needs to go further than the local pub for opinions. NCYT is a leading player in this field now and with good sales teams will be able to offer support on a global basis going forward. Good luck everyone. Blue day tomorrow imo but I could be wrong ...........
I have a feeling this will be one of many new appointments , the unfortunate truth is some of the employees have been there from day one and with the greatest respect its just a fact of life some will not have the skillset to perform on a bigger stage and take us to the next level . Mistakes have been made in the past perhaps due to inexperience or just lack of expertise in the field which has lead to a poor performance and contractual issues this year. Not pointing the finger at any one individual but happy to spend a few extra pounds getting the right people in the right chair. Feeling positive going forward and think by the middle of November with DA having had time to sharpen his pencil and give us all a few upbeat messages it will be time for a treat not a trick !
Lets home he helps us by writing all the RNS for all of our competition in this sector ! That might raise the SP !
Modest Gains today / tomorrow imo, Hoping DA gets on the PA for an RNS with some buoyant news which will put some wind in the sails and propel us out of the doldrums. Confident the next port of call will have fresh provisions , friendly locals and plentiful cold libations. Lets go from the Ever Given blocking the Suez to the HMS Victory !
This share will turn in the right direction soon frustrating as it has been these shares are now at amazing bargain prices ! We can all blame someone else for our investment choices like others on this discussion board ( the type of people who would blame their mums for not packing their own PE kit at school ) but with new blood coming in and perhaps some internal evaluation of other employees competence within the company this will imo move us forward in a much more positive direction. Perhaps any worried faces at the AGM yesterday where due to the knowledge that hiding on the subs bench for the last year will not get you a place in the 1st 11 anymore when the new manager takes over! Unfortunately covid is going nowhere soon chaps and although that sucks for us all it does put this share in a stronger position going forward ! Good luck everyone !
