Is it just me or is the rest of the world moving incredibly quickly while I put up with the second lockdown. Or as I refer to it “mockdown” – with my children still going to school and interacting with half the local villages and towns. Not only does The Donald win / lose / win??? again (if one accepts some the US news feeds), we now have a vaccine for Covid. Apparently. I’m sure the infrastructure to distribute and store a product that requires -80 degrees is well within the capabilities of our fearsome leaders to sort – after all distributing and storing PPE (like masks) is far more difficult and they did that without any problem I recall. So where does that leave me in my thinking for Synairgen (SNG)?
Firstly, let me be clear – I had a stop loss declared when I last wrote about the company only a few weeks back at 130p. It triggered and I was out for most of my holding (but below the stop price which is always irritating). Tom Winnifrith commented in Bearcast the other day about the “Covid Testing companies” – led by the likes of Novacyt (NCYT), which he explored in more detail and how he could not see much revenue and hence value in the longer term. In many ways I concur with this view – the market cap looked and remains outrageous to me also. Synairgen has never been about testing – it’s about a treatment and in that respect is clearly differentiated to the other Covid plays on the AIM casino. In my view, the need of a treatment is not changed by the news of the vaccine. One only has to think about winter flu – vaccines have been available for many years against the flu virus, but hospitals still tend to fill each winter and people need effective treatments.
One in the eye for global chavs as Burberry promises to cut discounting. Chris Bailey writes HERE
All the issues related to vaccine safety checks and the practical difficulties of availability and distributing and administering a vaccine remain to be resolved. I rather suspect the billions of pounds poured into research will lead to more vaccine options and that will solve some of the issues I currently see. But it is clear to me that a significant percentage of the UK population have little faith left in the government of the day, even where that faith was clear at the start of the year. I think the matter of trust in the vaccine and some of the people who articulate influential views will be a significant hurdle to be overcome. I watch with interest as this plays out. I put the stop to protect against an unforeseen event and that occurred. I would note it is only by exception I use a stop given how volatile the AIM market can be. Meanwhile, the company has the cash to move the development of its SNG001 treatment forward. Will it progress through current trials successfully? I do not know, but I still like the risk to return I perceive, even if the chances of ever hitting my £5 or £10 per share hopes is likely removed for good! Of course Tom Winnifrith never bought into this view so does that make him right? Or do we need to see matters play out before a final judgement is made? I think we need to wait for now.

So where does that leave me? Simple really. I have repurchased, but remain of the view this investment remains a gamble. It’s one I am happy to take but would note I likely have confirmation bias having originally purchased and made significant profits prior to mentioning this share.

The hot share tips given here are of necessity, general. They cannot relate to the individual circumstances of investors. Anyone considering following the share tips contained here should seek independent advice from a Financial Conduct Authority authorised Stockbroker or Financial Adviser. We cannot be held liable if individuals suffer losses through following share tips contained on this site or emailed out as free share tips. The value of investments can go down as well as up. The past is not necessarily a guide to future performance. Investing in shares can lose you part or all of your capital although the potential returns are theoretically unlimited. The difference between the buy share price and the sell share price for smaller company shares (penny shares) can be significant. Profits from dealing in shares may be liable to tax - the level of tax and bases of relief from tax are subject to change. Changes in the rates of exchange may have an adverse effect on the value or price of an investment in sterling terms if it is denominated in a foreign currency. Some of the shares recommended on this site will be smaller company shares. By their nature such investments can be relatively illiquid and thus hard to trade. And that makes such investments more of a high risk than larger company shares (or 'small caps'/'penny shares'). FiveFreeShareTips.com & its sister site ShareProphets.com defines a smaller company share as any stock traded on AIM or NEX or which has a market capitalisation of less than £300 million.
