In case anyone had missed the similarity in posting styles.
Nice try my Nordic son !! :-)
Well i think for most investors that have been here over the last 5 years or so, then Oman was the jewel in the crown here and Moz too. Even Finland to a lesser degree!
Promoted here as the nailed on cash cows for SAV and yet now seemingly put on the back burner as Portugal is the new kid on the block.
Lets hope the ultra high expectations of Portugal don't follow the route of the former favourites !
yes - the last placing was at 6.25p and it dipped to 5.75p
Think me may see a quick shake to 8.5-8.75p
I'd hardly call a potential £1.5m odd to GUNs bottom line as 'much to do about nothing' :-)
Well if Jimmy Stocks isn't invested in FB then he is a very lucky man !
Shambolic pre IPO offering that was ever extended and now further delays
Fortunately all eyes back on HH whilst FB get some dates out in the open.
At least there's the football, tennis and the Tour de France to take priority over things here.
Still funny reading BNs spoof posts and his 'Mr Angry' style - this heat must be hitting him hard too but always comedy gold reading and certainly king of angling for pulling people in to believing that his account is genuine.
gumbo - i'm guessing that Bignuts is closer to FB than most think
Poor command of English, insults to all and sundry which isnt like any Brit that i have ever conversed with, personal visits to see Rasmus, friends in Denmark (as mentioned by him), only appeared here at the start of the year ramping FB and then bouncing any negative posts off the first page with repetitive single one line re-posts.
"Buy your snake oil here, cures all ills!" - and then disappears on his horse into the dark of night never to be seen or heard of again
"Empty vessels make the most noise" ;-)
well, a sort of neither here or there reply as to why the IPO date continues to drift
Certainly must be frustrating for people who invested in the FB pre IPO and had hoped for confirmation of the listing date by now and so something to countdown to.
"This time next year Rodney...............................and it may get listed!"
no smoke without fire re FB?
It will be interesting to see the email replies and what the real state of play is and so it can be discussed by the civil and literate individuals here. (well whatever the Co want to spin).
Whatever the reply, then i don't think there's any disagreement here that the continued extending of the pre IPO cut off date was poor and hopefully not a pre-cursor to further strange things ;-)
Helpful - owned again by Magic :-)
According to some it was due last week.
Probably dome a bunk with the pre IPO money and so sending postcards at the mo and not newsletters !
Helpful - it wasn't a case of investors getting their timing wrong 4 to 5 years ago, but more like 8 years of half truths from the CEO and continued reckless investments in the commodity downturn. Couple that with what appears to be appalling due diligence and you would realise that its the charlatan to blame here and not inept pi's for the reckless wasting of shareholders funds. £14m plus raised over the years, share price down 99.5% from 2010 and I don't think that would look good on anyones CV. For the few lucky investments then remember that give a blind man enough darts and he will eventually hit the board. £14m plus buys a lot of throws at the dart board!!! Still looking forward to Tom Winnifrith's memoirs and why AB has never been shot down in any of TWs investment articles to date. Maybe a case there of 'keep your friends close and your enemies closer' Slice of pizza anyone whilst the crusher gets fixed !
Clarity on the Fastbase situation (ie where is their newsletter) is what is needed. Unfortunately any smoking questions can soon spread. I think most will agree that the original fastbase RNS was a welcome bolt out the blue and seemed pretty imminent at that time and with an instant £1.5m on the books through receiving 1.5%. The ever extending closure date for purchasing pre IPO shares is also somewhat suspicious and could easily lead some to speculate that things arent what they seem - ie in house figures and get the money in before external analysts run the their slide rules over FB's business model. Couple that with a new poster from just year who has ramped the death out of it, seems overly close with meetings with FB, shouts down and bumps off the front page any contrarian views and that is another red flag. At least Gun dont actually have any initial investment in FB and all that is in question is what we will receive in the future as part of our 1.5%. The stake in HH could be interesting if valuations change there, and we still have certain progress in Sunshine, Human Brands and even the Oyster listing may happen some day. Unfortunately with AIM, then the promise of riches only keeps a share price inflated for a certain time and then needs those projects to deliver to keep the upward momentum going price wise.
Maybe BN has gone on another cruise and this time with the Fastbase team and with the money sent :-)
Did it come out over the weekend and as what some were suggesting here last week?
not weird - I am a GUN shareholder and so totally relevant You still need to attend the manner classes though ! xx
BN - I fully understand the GDPR laws as part of my work requirement and see that you manners are still lacking. FastBases business model may well be B2B but when collating IP addresses from user visits to a Companies website, then they will be unable to differentiate between a private individual or corporate clients IP address. In view of that, please put your narcissist traits to one side, pop you head out of your ivory tower and explain to us lesser mortals how they will filter the two. Under the GDPR extract that I posted earlier, it showed that an IP address can be assumed to be part of someones personal data and so would need the individuals permission to store and pass on the IP address to third parties. Or will you brush this question under the carpet and bounce it off the first page with several posts ??? xx
With the introduction of GDPR (General Data Protection Regulations) last week, then the storing of someones IP address comes under the umbrella of storing personal data. With FastBases business model based on the data farming of IP addresses, then how will this impact on their whole business model? An extract that I read on GDPR refers to this...... "What does the GDPR say? It's been made clear in the General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") that IP addresses should be considered as personal data as the text includes "online identifier", in the definition of "personal data". Recital 30 clarifies that "online identifier" includes IP addresses. Why does this matter? .....We can see that the EU regulators and authorities are recognising the change in the technological landscape and the ease at which controllers can now run big data analytics in order to compare data sets and ultimately obtain identifying data. Essentially, if there is a risk (even though slim) that individuals could be identified from IP addresses (static or dynamic, in the hands of the ISP or the website provider) the EU regulators opinion appears to be that this should be treated as personal data. Businesses need to consider now how they deal with IP addresses, whether they treat them as personal data or not. The message is clear � the usual rules relating to personal data under current EU data protection law (and certainly under the GDPR) should be applied to IP addresses, e.g. controllers must inform users they hold this information, they must tell them why, they must allow them access to this data etc. If website providers can avoid holding IP addresses, or limit them in some way, for example by removing the final octet from the IP address and thereby removing the link to the user's device, this will help, certainly in relation to the security requirements under the current Directive and most importantly under the GDPR. In effect this decision could push the clock on GDPR preparedness, at least for this specific issue for certain ISPs, significantly ahead Note that a business that takes the risk and fails to deal with IP addresses as personal data (particularly following the implementation of the GDPR) may be subject to enforcement action, which will become far more stringent under the GDPR." Food for thought !
Apart from the handful of dye in the wool investors here, then i think the drift can be attributable to the last two lauded game changers that were going to make SAV (ie Oman and Moz) falling short progress wise. Those two over the last two years were lauded as the real thing with fancy valuations and impressive figures, yet within a narrow window of time have now been put on the back burner. So welcome to the new kid on the block - Lithium and the next SAV holy grail. Whilst promising, then there is no thing as a one way bet to riches and will this baby follow the other two as in muted production dates being put back. Things are obviously moving along (albeit slowly) but with a clear funding gap at the end of the year, then further dilution beckons. That imho is the main reason for the selling at these levels and maybe the view of others is that this will tread water for the rest of the year and then spike on RNS's and into which people will sell into. This has been seen already. So onwards (but not maybe upwards for the shareprice) and i still think we may see a short time in the 4's. Aim is a fickle old thing and the get quick investors will jump ship a lot quicker than the main market. This is even at a loss.
Sun sets in the West and strong signal that its the start of night, strong chance too that it will rise in the East tomorrow and representing a new day !! Its all in the charts !!
