Fair enough @ drinky.
Agree with your last sentence. That’s
We all know it’s not rosy. But we don’t want to hear the same well rehearsed tattle day in day out. Let’s hope we all end in the same place.
Thanks, same to you Shaky atb.
I actually don’t really care what happens here now.
What I don’t like is when people making out everything is rosey. Which is utter BS.
Cant argue with that, Jimmy, everyone has a walk away point Hope your other investments make make up for bids disappointment. GL
Fair enough Shaky. I gave bids the benefit of the doubt for 2 years + and everybody has their limit to when they pull the handbrake up, if results and progress are continually jam tomorrow. Mine was reading the updated broker note. I know some still holding here LT who are hoping for the best here, and for them I hope for the best also, nobody wants to see anybody lose any money.
But I don't hold that same wish for JD and the board, as they have not treated shareholders well or with any respect this past 2 years. That is a fact.
But Girdz I don’t have the beef like you do. Listen to yourself! Don’t worry about me being underwater. If I was upset or wanting to blame other people everyday I’d sound like you. I don’t.
Jimmy, I gave your comments some tbought and a detail reply. I work in this business and have a pretty good understanding of whats facing bids. Its a free forum so post as you please. Im sure you'll exend me the same courtesy
At least you have been honest enougn to acknowledge you dont have a position..
Don’t see the point in selling and crystallising a loss.
Don’t need the money so might as well see if the 3 to 5 year investors are right. Have done two years so what’s another 3.
I’m still interested to see what bids can do here.
Half year results out in a month. Let’s see what they have to say.
Personally can’t see how it can be any where near a million.
More interested to read the CEOs notes that come with it.
Drinky - if Draper some how does turn this around I’ll be first to hold my hand up and say I got it wrong. What’s snaky about that.
You have only got to look at bidlievers site to see this has gone tits.
It’s not just me that holding Draper to account.
You just don’t like it cause you are heavily under water and don’t like to see the criticism in the hope Draper can pull the rabbits out the hat.
Win some lose some drinky. Hope you don’t take the loss to hard if this fails
For all those words shaky, there is zero evidence out there that bids have built anything of value this past 2 years. That's the bottom line here. There is no evidence of any progress. None.
And why I post here, with no shares? I have followed the story for 2 years + and will continue to follow, and continue to post when I like.
I also post because I do believe shareholders have been misled this past 2 years. There is nobody who has followed the story for that length of time that doesn't agree with me. I'm not sure your position or how long you've been holding here?
Girdz will probably apologise again if they hit the revenue target like last time. Snake
“couldn't even make themselves a cup of tea”
Pretty sure no one said Draper can’t make a cup of tea.
Believe he is partial to tea and toast while writing misleading ramblings
Obviously if any company wants to raise funds from the City and go there with a price ..then they have to sit down and present to the City why they think that price is a good thing for the City to buy into.....
whatever funding is obtained ..they are not going to say ... well.." it is just for working capital "
no...the are going to have to say what the hell they intend to do with it and what the targets are for the next 2 years ....
and ..quite probably ..from this point on...they will will leave the " speculative growth " arena ..and move into the " OK, now...show us what you can do" arena ...
assuming of course the funding they seek comes through...
Girdz
I don’t think I’ve said anything out of turn.
no.. ...but all this talk of " Draper is a w*anker and they couldn't even make themselves a cup of tea.. let alone an ad platform " .... type of thing ... has its level of repetition and ends up sounding like a parrot ....in all fairness...although making comments about cash burn etc are very, very valid ...
It is a critical time ... no plain sailing...no yellow brick road laid out to follow...and as I suggested with Anzu and Azerion making partnerships ..the next strategic decision is absolutely crucial...
It all points to very weak operational progress. Anzu is leader in the market but I’m honestly not sure about the market. EA doesn’t want to dilute the UE and gamers don’t want many ads. The media are still very awareness promoting for brands. Where are the really string Bids case studies that excite potential advertisers? And there are other good ways for brands to leverage gaming. James did a huge amount to get this business going. Is he the right person to be leading it now? I don’t think you can spend you way too success here.
Girdz - good! I hope we can both celebrate on that happy day.
Shaky - to be fair I’m being facetious.
as soon as Bidstack give us something positive with meat on the bone I will change my tune.
Girdz - your interpretation is typically negative. Outside of the realms of calculus, a point of inflection is an indication that significant change within the business is expected. I very much doubt that Bids would advertise a negative change in concavity and to me, it's an indication that there's going to be big positive changes. Time alone will tell but the fact that Bids have not needed to raise funds as yet and that their revenue was always second half weighted gives me hope. I hope fro the sake of the many investors that your opinion is incorrect.
I don’t think I’ve said anything out of turn.
Most feel that way at the moment.
You’ve been here 5 mins poker.
Let’s see what your posts are like next year!!
Only difference being is JD doesn’t even feed the market bull **** any more. Just hides
Girdz
If you go down to Leicester Square ..there is a bloke sat out in the street saying he is collecting funds for the Bidstack electricity meter ..... he said something about 10 days before the electricity is cut off....
there ..how about that for some gloom and doom....
I can post both ways ..who cares ..what difference does it make ??
“CEO's "misleading" shareholders with RNS announcements “
What about just plain lies on differing media outlets then
“often it isnt what they say..but what they dont that matters too..”
Agree we should have all sold when Draper did
“point of inflection - the next few months will be critical”
She isn’t wrong but you misinterpret that as positive statement.
Think she is referring to being able to pay wages!!
CEO's "misleading" shareholders with RNS announcements is as old as the hills...goes on all the time....
sometimes it is purely how their wording is interpreted because they are often worded in a somewhat ambiguous way
.....a lot of them use PR companies to do the wording for them....with a lot of selected words and phrases sprinkled in
you ..always , always ...have to read between the lines and work hard at getting to what is .. "really" being implied...
often it isnt what they say..but what they dont that matters too..
“The " Advisory Board " must be burning the wick at both ends “
You joking right?
I doubt the advisory are doing very much at all here.
They are a shoulder to lean on.
They don’t do heavy lifting!!!
Pokerchips invested for 4 days. How’s life as a bidstack investor? Is nice to see the youthful green eagerness here again. Will pop back in when the 30% discounted placing is announced and see say then. Probably will top up! No doubt. Are you JD?
