Heimdal,
I don't see how that link suggests any involvement with the DLI, in fact the only ref to anything is "But according to a growing body of research"....who, what, when, where......?
Obviously we will not know if anyone is willing to take the step of paying 14USD/month for a long time yet. But I'm certainly not convinced people will pay for an app to tell them how old they really are and then the same each and every month...it makes no sense. Yes, I don't know the full workings of the app, but then shareholders have never been advised exactly how the app is better than any others or if there were any projections on sales, which surely they must have requested during any due diligence before even considering issuing a s_hit load of shares ?
Given that the company is actually meant to be an investment company, as stated on the website. Why did they want to buy yet another company ? Obviously one could argue that since they already own PLE, they should continue, however. I am pretty sure they have stated before that PLE was the exception (and that was only because they thought they were going to make a killing far sooner). Surely they would have been better off investing in the likes of ANIC (up over 100% in the last 6 months) and/or insilico (I only suggest Insilico since with JM and his mates, we could have been given special access to invest just as we were with the Diabolical Boot Company, although that did go t-its up). When owning a company there is all that excess luggage that comes with it (rental's, salaries etc). It certainly makes one wonder what goes through the minds of the BOD....but then again, maybe nothing does apart from the words of JM ("do as I tell you or you are out"....lol)
Like all the others, I wait for a DLI update, but as yet, I am not convinced from a few articles that this is a money maker.
As always, this is just my take on things so DYOR. ;-)
