@Lsoc - I could not agree **** *** ****** ***** ** ******. a Moreover ****, *** ********* ****** ***** ** * ***** **** **********.
It's 'U OK Hun?', you dribbly ****ehawk.
It's shorting **** mother****ers like the above talking *******s that gives the morning a vexatious hue.
And I'm splendid, thanks for asking.
'DM me hun'
What a load of ****ing bull****. TT is either a shorter or in the pocket of a shorter. If this acquisition becomes a problem, Kape will just list somewhere that it isn't a problem. Do you honestly think that a bloke like Teddy Sagi hasn't thought this one through?! You can take your wary words and stick them them right up your arse. And if you are a shorter, bail now before you're on all fours over the barrel, ****ing doss ****.
Twenties - you can still get in. This share is hugely undervalued.
@TT - I suspect we will just disagree, but I think your reply has it the wrong way round. You are correct when you say "Future is not by any means a vendor to Goco or a company that would benefit from Goco's reviews being slanted towards Future's products or services". But then nor is Kape a vendor to Webselenese which would be the parallel. It is exactly the other way around and GoCo will be promoting products that are also reviewed on FUTR sites. And there is no statement about impartiality from FUTR when it does that.
Let's call it a draw and (sorry you are not a holder) enjoy the rise while it lasts. Results are just around the corner and the clear excitement on Kape's CEO face when he was talking yesterday about this deal suggests there will be a very upbeat statement next month.

These are fair points GS, and you will note in my article that I believe the acquisition to be very enhancing for Kape. However I am not sure the Future / Goco tie-up is a fair comparison. Future is not by any means a vendor to Goco or a company that would benefit from Goco's reviews being slanted towards Future's products or services.
Really? I am doing some of this from memory so excuse the odd inaccuracy, but...
Global Insights (GI) published a report about 12 months ago specifically on the size and future of the VPN market. Globally GI expected the market to grow from c.$30bn today to c.$70bn (yes, that is billions) by 2026. It expected 16%(?) to be consumer-driven, not heavyweight commercial stuff. So $4.8bn growing to about $11bn. And you really think the Competition and Markets Authority is going to give a second thought to a takeover that results in Kape having base revenues of $200m (4% plus of the consumer segment of the market place)? Actually, Kape's share is even less than that as Webselense's revenues do not contain the sales of any VPNs at all. Plus, of course, there are other review sites out there. FUTR for example, owns a massive slice of the review site market and has just bought GoCo without the Competition and Markets Authority doing anything at all. FUTR's intentions at the time of the takeover were pretty clearly stated as being anything but impartial. At least sites like vpnMentor are saying they will maintain their independence.
Each to their own, but I think you are being unduly pessimistic.
