Give us some of that good news you're keeping to yourselves...... :-0 :(
Lot of sells in past two days but the share price not really moved compared to other trades , mm are sucking up the sales.
loopup do have a duty of care to report , so if trends continue then a report on Mays Figures will be announced in June.
They kept this down with a wide spread but it broke out and they let it go a bit for a few hours, reduced the spread slightly. Feels like orders being filled or holding it back to derisk someones entry point. Not sure but thats the feeling im getting..soon see.
hi In-long ; TP Group was not expecting hidden cost in purchase of there new company ; but once you drift through the raft of spread sheet of profit it equates to around 3.9 Million , it does really upset me that they use the revenue as a deffer of tax liability instead of investment.
Any way still invested ; but iv found another company by that could be worth 40 million valued at 9 million now with there investment , basically was looking at a 1 million pound company and risk is very high but upside could be worth 120 Million so do not like high risk which when followed the trail that led me to the company that had invested 30% into the 1 million company.
Very excited as the 9 million company has under 6 million in cash pays dividend and turns over just in cash profit of 1 million.
Need to spend a lot of time this weekend reading , will update
basically the investment is free as has no income and a negative on the books but the product needs approved which it done on a smaller product
on another note the Loopup RNS statement could be seen as a negative if you read the title
Know exactly what you mean Thordon, I saw the dreaded ISSUE word in te RNS title and my heart sank. But all good. not a problem with them giving hard working members their due though, bet they haven't stopped for month s and will be ran ragged for years they way its growing. But any little step back at the moment is enough to make people twitchy given the the little bit of uncertainty in the markets at the moment and China going off on one...nutters.
TPG bit of an unfortunate small step back but, looks like a good earner that one and cant see it putting much of a dent in it short-mid term, the accounts looked OK to me, good progress. Im still keeping an eye on that. Small drop in the SP but think everyone has taken a little drop over the last few days.
New company sound good, send me the name and Ill have a look at it too over the weekend. Got to give it to you youre research is solid. I look at the fundamentals and can generally get my head around the accounts but I don't see tax implications and between the lines as you do. I am a very practical person and very often see potential in companies in ways that are difficult to quantify with good results in the very main. Might be good to look at it from both angles, 2 heads etc. When you ready send us the name and I'll drop on it.
Av a gooden....
Cool In-Long just checking history of both company's then send it over
Wow this shows how Loopup is exploding
How a top-50 law firm rapidly deployed LoopUp to keep their lawyers and clients connected during the COVID-19 pandemic.
For over 125 years, Freeths has provided its clients with outstanding service and legal expertise. As a top-50 full-service commercial law firm with over 970 staff across 13 UK offices, keeping employees connected with each other and with their clients is essential to Freeths.
A bigger picture collaboration strategy
As Head of Infrastructure at Freeths, Neil Harris is responsible for managing telecoms services across the firm. Freeths’ lawyers had been using a range of different web conferencing tools as well as a basic dial-in conferencing solution. Many of these solutions had been mandated by their clients and the courts. This created confusion and led to spiralling costs, with separate licences required for each product.
Neil decided to embark on a unified communications strategy that would feature a single conferencing platform across the firm. It would be rolled out over four years and would integrate teleconferencing, email,
high-definition video conferencing and other online communications as well as replacing the firm’s current telephony system. “We had a bigger picture focus when it came to our collaboration strategy”, said Neil. “We had a phased plan with goals, deadlines and benchmarks. Then the rug was pulled from under us”.
COVID-19 pandemic strikes
In March 2020, the global COVID-19 pandemic forced businesses around the world to implement large-scale working from home. “One of our big tasks was to ensure everyone was set up with an effective communication platform”, said Neil. LoopUp was already being used by some of Freeths’ lawyers. “We had a dozen accounts actively using the solution, who were all really positive about it”, said Neil. “But because of the UC plan we decided not to roll it out company-wide. Then COVID-19 struck and it made sense to get a few more LoopUp accounts set up”.
LoopUp goes the extra mile
As more and more lawyers began using LoopUp for their meetings, Neil started receiving requests for further LoopUp accounts. “Lawyers were experiencing LoopUp calls or hearing about the tool from their colleagues”, said Neil. “So, I put in a request with LoopUp for 50 more accounts and then another 50 and another. It was like LoopUp’s popularity had exploded”. Neil realised that LoopUp would have to be rolled out at a much larger scale than initially thought. “We ended up with over 600 accounts”, said Neil.
This is where the LoopUp team really came into their own in terms of speed of delivery and the way they went the extra mile. I was bombarding them with requests and they were turned around in the same day.

Neil Harris, Head of Infrastructure at Freeths
Quick, easy and painless implementation
The deployment of the product was quick and seamless. Neil provided the LoopUp team with names, email addresses and phone numbers of individual users, centrally deployed the LoopUp Outlook app and
configured single sign-on. LoopUp took care of the rest. They set up individual accounts, sent out activation emails and hosted a live 15-minute introductory session, all in a matter of hours.
“I cannot stress enough how easy it was”, said Neil. “With any of the big UC solutions, it would have taken too long to get set up and slowed our lawyers down in keeping legal matters moving”.
LoopUp’s flexible pricing model also sped up the purchasing decision. “LoopUp’s pay-as-you-go pricing meant anyone could be set up with an account as there are no fixed costs for having an account. You just get charged for as little or as much as you use” said Neil.
No hand-holding needed
LoopUp users were particularly impressed by how easy the tool is to use. “We were given a quick introduction to the tool and that was all we needed”, said Neil. “There was no additional hand-holding”. Staff across the firm are using LoopUp, from legal assistants all the way up to the top. “LoopUp has really been our ‘go to’ tool over the last six to eight weeks”, said Neil. “The fact that more than 50% of our firm are actively using LoopUp speaks for itself”.
Reliability when it matters
One feature that is critical to any remote meeting is audio reliability. Most web conferencing platforms use VoIP to carry audio by default, sending packets of data over the internet. Any latency or loss of packets leads to ‘jitter’ – words are jumbled or missing altogether, making a conversation inaudible. This isn’t typically a problem if users are on a corporate network with managed Quality of Service, where VoIP traffic is prioritised. But if a user joins a call from off the corporate network, for example from home, VoIP can lead to audio reliability issues. For this reason, LoopUp routes all calls over regular phone lines and only uses the internet for screen sharing and video. This guarantees audio reliability at all times.
Keeping lawyers and clients connected during a pandemic
The IT team at Freeths had a four-year unified communications strategy planned out but when the COVID-19 pandemic struck, they adapted quickly to ensure their firm could stay connected with each other and with clients. This meant lots of plans went on hold as they needed to implement a collaboration tool to be used immediately. Rather than forcing all employees to use a single remote meeting solution, Freeths left the decision to individual users. Because of its ease of use and reliability, LoopUp became the frontrunner. Unlike other solutions, LoopUp is quick to deploy and Freeths were able to set up a large amount of new accounts very quickly.
LoopUp has become an invaluable asset to the firm and Freeths are now considering LoopUp as part of their long-term collaboration strategy.
Tryed doing the maths on this one , came to the conclusion Freeths have increased users by 5000%

Lovely piece of information Thordon. Just underpins what Ive been saying the last few days, quality and word of mouth then pier pressure is its advertising/driver and that the last few days/weeks this share has been getting held down with a wide spread with subtle tree shaking to be scooped up at the right price, orders getting filled RNS's next IMHO. Watch this space now. Next good accounts news and this will double again........
Also the job for SKYPE, is interesting as was on the decline , hardly worth a mention so now i wonder

Another point , really can not see this company going solo as will be gobbled up.
Personal would like to see it grow on its own and not another american firm buying it up

Centerbridge Partners: Improving remote meeting effectiveness with LoopUp
Bullet points
“There are no costs to having an account and you just pay for the minutes you use, so we gave everyone an account”, said Conrad. “The PAYG subscription makes it a manageable and cost-efficient service. You cannot ask for more.”
On average, 99% of Centerbridge users are no longer dialing in to their meetings and are using the LoopUp meeting link instead.
93% of Centerbridge employees send meeting invites via the LoopUp Outlook plugin.
The Point is even if we go back to normal , Loopup with be ingrained in the corporate structure for the long term
Once those big boys all get used to using a reliable system they will be in long term and it will spread, and suppliers and associates will almost have no option but to conform also, I don't I doubt that. As we all suspect and probably know it will be a new normal and millions of them/us will be working from home that didn't before and security requirements will very quickly over a very short period of time direct most to Loop I would have thought given the reports on Loop and less secure, less reliable platforms . You do wonder down the line if they will sell out to a big corporate later on but I cant see it and if they did it will be way off yet IMHO, say £5-£7 in a few years and the buy out share price will match and that so I'm ok with that. Obviously it would be better they stay in and we keep taking dividends etc.
Going to top up on this share , too low a price now and doing more research last week more than happy to do so
Fill yeh boots its not going to be this cheap much longer I recon. One RNS telling it the way it is will see this soar I recon. Tempted my self but a bit stretched now. GL...

Wondered why it dropped , not long for may figures to come out
Hi In-long
If this share goes to 11p buy - upside good news in mid June - will not take long to find out why if researched
Symphony Environmental Technologies PLC
Yeh big sell makes sense and no problem with that that is a lot of proffit I bet. Someone did their homework and got pasi out good and proper. All good IMHO...
Ok thanks will look at SET next..GL bud...
Made a good move moving between AML drop and and TLY rise and back again...derisked that little beauty by nearly 2k with a few outs and ins at AML...SO ok with that now...bit fire and forget now. But big upside that you know. Youve got to take a look. New CEO from mercedes RNS only a day old and he is mint along side Stroll...Think this will rise quickly but being played like an aimer by shorters so room to get in if you fancy in dips...This one is not for the faint hearted though...Laters..
Thordon. Mmmmmvery SYM V'interesting.
PE is 500 which is very very high. Could be Vgood or a warning. Starting to feel it’s a positive and peer pressure, sentiment and a desperate need for this solution is elevating this stock understandably.
Read for what it is worth: “Generally speaking, a high P/E ratio indicates that investors expect higher earnings. However, a stock with a high P/E ratio is not necessarily a better investment than one with a lower P/E ratio, as a high P/E ratio can indicate that the stock is being overvalued”.
PSR = 2.95 which is a little high. Big boys like less than 1 to get in but 1-2 is still good an 2-3 is with some additional obvious upside information is still ok.
Big boys don’t like getting in above 20% of the 52 week sp price. This is at about 50% ish. Again ok with justification.
Fundamentals say this is a high risk share but……….I have seen the interviews, get the technolog, the BOD seem straight up and we desperately need this and in the short time Ive checked the tinterweb I can’t see anything to match it.
On a cautionary note: I bought into an environmental share, carbon type platform and when it was about to go stratospheric and they simply moved the platform into another company and we all lost everything and couldn’t do f’all about it. That’s the AIM market. That BOD though were bstrds and unknown to me I just didn’t think to check and got carried away with the idea. But these are different and they are issuing dividends, are out there science types putting everything on the line by the looks of it.
For me…………I love it and think its is well worth trimming some of my other shares to put 4k in.
Ill do a bit more checking today but I am secretly or not so now Ive said it hopeful about this.
Absolutely ethically my type of investment which weighs it in my favour also to be fair….Thats sentiment, it drives the market.
Nice one Thordon.
I’llll beee backkk!!!!!
AML got good prospect , markets not stable at moment so digging deep to find good company's .
SYM got my environmental side so ticks a box , found a few more but again wonder whats the catch
On Loopup lot of profit taking so just ride the wave
