big bigsmoke, it can't be Chri55 - not on his state pension.

150k shares *bought* / £108k sterling - on the bell
?!

bigsmoke is my LSE spiritual/ psychic medium, especially useful when there's a full moon

Steve Flavell basically treats this as an owner-managed business. If you contrast LoopUp to AIM stalwarts like Gateley plc, it's clear as day - LoopUp's listing looks like a cash machine payday and not the genesis of a serious listed business. There's a harsh truth in that when you look back: Jun 2018 - March 2020, investor loss of 91%. Not de-ramping, just incandescent. The shorting thesis will have taken into account - and could well be predominantly based on - doubts as to this board's (in)ability to resonate the market and turn the tanker. Bit concerned that they are obsessed with generating revenue over real growth + profit. I'm heavily invested in Manolete and Steven Cooklin puts in so much effort from the private investor side that you feel he's a really authentic guy who's trustable. These guys at LoopUp, pfft... Sorry for the rant.

Theresa May yesterday - global Britain is closed for business [as regards travel restrictions]

It isn't closed virtually - LoopUp should be raking it in....

Thank you to whoever keeps drip feed selling me discount shares through the uncrossing auctions, you are very kind

Thank you!!

Excuse my naivety - I'm annoyed to even ask ahaha

TU?

The free float is most reassuring - now very tightly held

Reminds me of Richard Adam of Carillion

not reassuring.

Not so sure why we're trapped in this "whilst restrictions remain, no insolvency shall occur"/ "no company shall fail whilst covid prevails" loop - some sort of moral decision? Certainly an economic bubble that'll break. Maybe Boris' blue sky thinking? Mad world

Fellow LoopUp investors
Why are you so sad?
With this new strategy, LoopUp won't turn out too bad
Chris, Steve and all the board, please get in touch
Then we won't worry all that much

I want to see bigsmoke write us a poem about where Loopup's share price will go

I've accepted I'm in this on the basis of trusting that Mike and Steve can rally the troops and deliver the numbers. Good numbers will result in good news, which we know will decide this one. I've stopped looking at daily swings but check in to make sure the lay of the land is ok overall. What I do think people are missing is this - whilst there is progress with vaccines and a little bit of reopening, the world of professional work is still occurring very much behind a laptop. With today's "green" travel list shrinking even further, the benefit of LoopUp's service isn't shrinking as far as I'm concerned - there is very much a new normal from where I'm sitting

Momentum has picked up but there is no discernable trend. Yes, news is what will do it - big time. We are 34% down on IPO price [2016] + 85% down from ATH [2018], on a company that has only grown. They will know this inside and out, it's pretty damn embarrassing - so my bet is that they will be trying desperately hard - I desperately hope - to get there ducks in a row. We have clear instances of that already: the explanation of the switch in focus, that it'll be a transitional year, they are working to convert a strong pipeline, the new website that coherently pulls that vision together. In this instance I would much prefer to wait for stonker news than have drips and drabs of mediocrity. There are other clear signs: the IT recruitment that's going on + an annual report which emphasises new software development. As a shareholder in this company you have to work it all out for yourself - because for a coms business the board lacks communication skill - but it is starting to look a lot more joined up with its strategy

It's a bit early in the morning to be smoking crack. Each to their own.

Interesting spread

Richard B1ech - I have just booked a long weekend, purely to tell you this: see you next Tuesday.

Oh and thank you for associating me with BigSmoke, but you are wrong - yet again, and again, and again.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
