The latest Investing Matters Podcast with Jean Roche, Co-Manager of Schroder UK Mid Cap Investment Trust has just been released. Listen here.
Good to know. Thank you Apple Sauce. All the best.
..does this business model require territory managers? Can someone explain why restraunt managers can't sign themselves up rather than waiting expectantly for TM to turn up on their doorstep? It's like Facebook trying to expand but first the Facebook territory manager has to come to call to set up your account.
Watching the SP with interest.
Looks like FIFA 20 is going street...
More street scenes... perhaps with more chances for street furniture such as adverts ...now let me think..

...but this demographic is IMO centred around the retired and aging population. The question needs to be asked is this group app-savvy? If you think the answer is yes then DISH could work out well.
Let's hope so The Big ...all the best
Assuming that game developers have genuine concerns about adding third-party code into their code then this represents a barrier to expand. The good news is that Bidstack have Pubguard now while any competition does not.
"The best “long shot” of the competition so far? Bidstack, an Aim-listed gaming advertising company picked by FT reader Alec from Southampton, has seen its shares rise by 616 per cent since the start of the year. Katie Cousins, analyst at Shore Capital, attributed Bidstack’s meteoric ascent to its “impressive technology” and brokering a deal with video game company Codemaster."
..want to invite somebody out to eat at a restaurant and then tell them the reason for choosing the place was because you got a bit off the bill? ...if you answer yes then the stock is a buy IMO
..I like to go to Google Play and type Bigdish and then read the 5 star reviews...
..one of the best voucher schemes for eating out.. surprised sp is going down...
..you think this is a truly scalable business concept then IMO it's a buy
Nice find The Big. I wonder what this is about? Place this is the platform linked with SDK announcement? A place where game developers go to get the code to incorporate Stack Code into the games they are creating. ?? Just imagine if a smart games developer takes this code and builds the next Fortnite ...all speculation I should add..
I've stayed out of DISH. It seems to me that most people if they go to eat do so for some kind of special occasion. A chance to treat somebody (birthday) or impress somebody (business client, date). This isn't every scenario but a fair amount I reckon. Now imagine any of these occasions and then having to tell your companion that you want to a certain place to eat, on a certain day or at a certain time. The reason you have to give is that is going to be a bit cheaper. I can't help thinking that this detracts from the occasion and may leave some in the dinner party with a bitter taste in their mouth.
This is why I like BIDS. Placing adverts in the gaming experience is not negatively affecting the gamer from his/her experience. it could be argued the opposite is true.
As they say Good Luck All.
It would be great to see ANIC investing in non-dairy products, like alternatives to milk. I see more and more non-dairy drinks like soya in the supermarkets. A growing trend here I think.
The meat and milk industry does a lot of harm to the environment in terms of climate change (methene), water resources and not to mention the amount of land taken up by this sector which could be used for low-density, eco-homes.
There's clearly a demand for non-meat "meats" as Beyond Meats shows.
We are told almost everyday that our rivers and oceans contain micro-plastics which sea-food must be ingesting.
People more and more concerned about what they eat and drink.
So yes an interesting sector and ANIC is worth watching I believe.
Good idea. Many thanks. If I get anywhere I'll post it.
Does anybody know who is allowed to take part in this Fundraise? Is it for private investors or just for big institutional investors? thanks
Since the referendum parliament has obviously spent a huge amount of time discussing you know what. I can't help thinking once it settling down the government will have to start looking at passing laws for certain categories of vehicles and drivers to be fitted with trackers and monitoring devices. Public transport (buses) and those of a certain age would be possible starting point. Could be wrong but I'm holding.
Who knows how things will pan out. My concerns are;
a) Some games seem far more suitable for native in-game advertising than others.
b) these big names coming into games in a bigger way could (Google/Stadia, Apple ....) could do what Bidstack are doing but do it in-house making it hard for Bidstack to get as large a foot hold as they would have done.
I think over the next 2 to 3 years Bidstack will either do extremely well or fail to take-off. I don't see a half-way house situation.
All the best with your investments.
Not sure if it's possible to 'patent' code. I've been through the patent process myself. Of course it might be possible to legally protected code that Bidstack has created through copyright say. It would be simple however for another firm to write different code that does the same thing but the code is different.
Could Google create code for Stadia that does what Bidstack's code does and more? My guess is that they could.
Dirt Rally 2.0 gets a mention as one of the best games of 2019 (so far). Got to be good news ?
