i don't think I've said that, but i do like the LGP and SWB investments, as for buying more FFWD that's a no no form me i will just hold for now, still like portage but will wait a day or two to see if the SP settles, if not i will look elsewhere.
From your last 2 posts Ed saying ‘it’s progressing news shortly’ would be enough for you to hold or buy more.
might stop the price dropping.
Things going well expecting news shortly.
You need the CEO of a listed company to tell you that. Exactly what for?
i don't think me or anyone else is looking for a running commentary on Leap, just a simple yes things going well and we expect news shortly regarding Leap and yes this can be said, it just seems to be with FFWD its a need to know and SH don't need to know, they have a very good track record of not saying until its to late, for me if its not bought id expect a delay, just my gut feeling, if I'm wrong i will hold my hands up
Giving a detailed running commentary on an IPO (which as you comment may be a sale to IMG) is not how these transactions work. Are we getting detailed information about the JUV IPO? Perhaps you could provide some examples of other companies preparing for IPO that have given out the sort of information that you would like to have. Remember Ed will be bound by a duty of confidentiality as a Director of Leap. Further as a Director of FFWD he has to be very careful what he says about prospective valuations. He has gone as far as he can to indicate the likely value of Leap by indicating the target £50 million market cap for FFWD by the end of the year but you have to join the dots yourself . The rules for a listed company in this area are very strict.
i thought Kierewiets question was fair one, no official update on how the last 7 months helping with the Leap IPO/Sale is going, at this rate i can see a delay as i think there waiting for EDR to make an offer, but they also have to be seen to working towards an IPO, and maybe Mat by not talking this is one of the reasons we are where we are , name change 100% more shares and other resolutions , why don't FFWD come out and explain what's going to be happening fair chance it would get more onboard , maybe Ed should take a look how Rebekah CEO gets SWB noticed in the city and press.

Ed also tweeted at the beginning of 2019 that we could look forward to the conclusion of Factom series B that same year. Series B obviously never happened and Factom now written down to zero.
I would take nothing on face value.
He literally answered that same question in a previous tweet in May !

There remains a huge disconnect between our stated NAV (many months old now) and our share price. As communicated already #FFWD investors can expect the following.
- New investments v soon
- PF support
- multiple IPOs including #Leap which is 43% owned by FFWD
He's already answered them. If I was him at this stage I wouldn't bother talking to anyone either.
LGP looking great, but don’t think Ed will like the questions being asked, will he get back to them with any answers ?
and Ed is getting frustrated :-) https://twitter.com/edmcdermott12/status/1409781233031290884
Soon be 50% up on their whole investment , I would guess there is so much interest with the big players buying into it that it won't be long before it doubles and more.
Not expecting ffwd to track daily moves in investee performance but our Ozzie mate had a nice wee 9% move today
Saw a forwarded tweet a few months ago, Mr Chilston was very keen on Vast.....not for the faint hearted, that boss man AP is right piece of work
I can’t remember what happened to Chilston?
5p? 5p? we had all this nonsense with Chilston and his 4p. Get a grip man
I SMELL A CUNNING DERAMP. ONE CHEEKY MONKEY WHO GOT STUNG IN PORTAGE IS TRYING TO GET IN HERE CHEAP.
SEE YOU AT 5 P
For the last few weeks, despite the influx of good news, I have been rather surprised with the selling.
Good news on Factom
Drop
Good news on Insilico
Drop
Good news on Yooma
Drop
Good news on LGP
Drop
Good news on Portage
Drop
So the SP action certainly does not reflect what is going on in respect of their investments.
Unlike a lot of AIM companies, FFWD's can back up the SP with its NAV.
As LTH know, NAV is increasing.
Juvanascence pending IPO is drawing closer.
Leap IPO drawing closer.
All their other cannabis related investments appear to be going places.
So, I have used this opp to buy FFWD. Actually, I'm very pleased to be able to invest at these prices (sorry LTHs!). The gap between NAV and SP is getting way too wide to ignore.
I think 8.25 is a cheap deal. This should be well above 10
...does anyone know where the cheap deals are coming from??
There is plenty of cash in the bank already and for a small AIM company the ability to raise shares is a normality.
FFWD has an abundance of cash and assets which can be monetized. The goal of FastForward as has been stated on numerous occasions by the directors is to grow as fast as possible without dilution and that goal hasn't changed.
It's also been stated that in the pursuit of scale we need to bring in serious sticky investors who will take between 5 and 15% of the company.
In the event we reach a Mkt Cap of between £50-75m organically what SENSIBLE investor is going to be upset if they raise £20-30m @ 24p
it has dropped buns but its still nice to see in my PF showing its still no 1 and showing a 781% rise, so yes still got that smug feeling, be nice to get that feeling here don't you think.
Problem is that briefly it looks like ffwd is being sold to cover leveraged positions or average down on portage, which is always a dumb way to do it to me. In that position it is better to take the loss and buy ffwd at the low. However, they can only do it once and expect ffwd it to rise in the near term, good news being sold into is not rational on a low but there is always a reason .
