Poker - you really thinking Bidstacks competitors gives two hoots what they are up to?

Absolutely...every one studies each other ..this is a new area of development...everyone is still finding their way as to what works commercially and what doesn't..who is developing what technology etc etc ..and anything they can find out about each other about what is succeeding and what isn't ..is of value ....

Bidstack look like the jokers of the pack at the moment.
The arrogance of James Draper stating he has created this new genre of advertising yet on the face of it Bidstack look like being one the first to fold.
Massive egg on his face.
I’d be really happy to be proved otherwise but at present there is nothing to suggest any turnaround of fortunes.
Even with all the mobile games announced of late there isn’t one ad to show for it
" Poker chips you are quoting Bidstacks waffle with your own."
Girdz....
point taken...thanks for your feedback...
The Gfin deal is certainly interesting and that area is something GFIN is expanding quite a lot...
and I do notice that in the updates whilst they are reporting news of increased advertiser demand ..they are somewhat vague as to where it actually is coming from
" Bidstack is now placing advertising and successfully generating revenues in core markets with some of the world's largest video games publishing groups. "
" The Company has experienced significantly increased demand from advertisers in the second half of 2020."
what this suggests to me..is that...they DO NOT want the competition to see where they are growing market share or expanding well...and only do so in the half year or full results updates...they are purposely keeping specific figures to themselves and only divulging a "global picture" if necessary
because ..they don't want the competition following them and creating ..competition..
I agree it would be nice to have figures on specifics as you have mentioned ..but I wonder if they are purposely trying to avoid that for reason I have suggested ??
Poker chips you are quoting Bidstacks waffle with your own.
Have been in this since 2019 and everytime the market is fed BS lines like you’ve quite.
What happened to
Gbp 10mil per annum deal
Gfinity deal
Epic arrangement
Real cricket
Httpool
That’s just to name a few.
Everything we have been fed over the last two years has been a massive pile of horse manure.
Only now have Bidstack cottoned on that mobile games are the easy win, but you are going to need 100s of them to even contemplate breaking even.
Mr Beans special delivery won’t even buy Draper some toast while he is deliberating where it al went wrong

I think personally that Bids has stated quite clearly that they are not working "specifically" towards getting short term revenues but is working much more towards its medium and long term interests....and there has been continued foundation work that will only bear fruit in the medium term....as I see it..there isn't an instant return on the investments being made at this stage
They have once again stated that revenues will be second half loaded ....so that tells you a lot in itself
" technical investment over seeking short term revenues in order to take full advantage of the potentially significant shifts in technology and media planning capabilities " is something I took out as being a significant sentence
Innovation and technological development is of great importance within an area which is still developing how it will best work and meet changing client needs and changing technology ... continued development of the SDK and AdConsole etc etc etc
whether any news is "positive " or not does not just depend on whether the share price responds to it at that moment in time...much of the "gain" from certain developments are only going to bring financial return further down the line...and the market knows it....
If a company gets a contract ..quite often the share price doesn't respond so much...because the market knows any income from that wont be received for some time ....so investors make a note of when that will actually help the balance sheet at that point in the future ...these " news " often not immediate in their effect on share prices
“His job isn't to answer every private investor who emails him”
I do agree with you there to some extent however I have had direct contact with Draper over a certain channel.
More than willing to answer and also signed off with a comment that welcomed further.
It’s only when things started getting tough did I get blocked.
I think the point here is that we have had nothing at all from Bidstack.
Absolutely no positive material news for quite some time.
And when I say material I mean through the proper channels via a RNS. You’d have though a company worth £13mil and in an exciting, niche market would be churning out news regularly . Even a £250k contract to bids would be material at this stage!
I suspect that Mr Draper is working hard and if there is to be a placing and detail with it...that is where the priority is...
His job isn't to answer every private investor who emails him...sorry but no....Investor Relations should do that...and they are somewhat limited as to what they can say ..due to market regulations.... don't be surprised to get a standard email reply
Whilst we live in the time of Twitter and social media ..CEO'S don't....they work to the standard requirements of the market regulations...
Any CEO has NO OBLIGATION what so ever to give out any updates outside of the standard requirements and will issue market sensitive information when it is necessary or prepared for release... there was an update statement on April 22nd which is only 2 months ago...if you think that was a lifetime ago..then the stock market isn't for you...
CEO's don't work to appease the traders of its shares...they run the company ...they don't spoon feed private investors ...hard facts of market life...
An update will come when it is ready... best you realise that....it is how it works....
Haha Draper just blocking every one.
I think that’s akin to bury your head in the sand.
Surely people sending him messages is a hint to address the market.
I think he knows they are in the ****e otherwise he would say something to contest TWs recent letter
What a complete c ### I was like so polite when I messaged him , he as investors money + maybe he knows I'm no longer a investors , lol ) but the guy is ignerant , hope the company fails as he's ignerant w######r
