Morning all

I know I’ve said this before... but... I’m glad the company doesn’t reply to everyone’s emails, they need time to build Alpha into a sizeable enterprise, this will be done over a period of years - not days, months and weeks. If your ‘investment’ timeline is days, weeks and months then Alpha is not the share for you.

Obviously some people on here like a good (and constant moan).. I can only assume they’ve never built a company before, it takes time and when you’re essentially a startup but youre dealing with large corporates then you unfortunately have to go at the pace which the corporate wants to - GS and his team can’t dictate that. Yes, he could go hard on them and give hem an ultimatum ‘sign now or we’ll walk away’... guess what - the other party would walk away. There is so much governance to deal with in large corporates, especially so when it’s within the finance industry.

We also need to realise that the ‘rcf’ is no longer the only iron in the fire.

Everyone forgets how far the company has come In the past 18/24 months - from startup to 10m usd in the fund initially, then through growth in the boagf and also through acquisition they now have over 300m aum across the group - they’ve also completed a full rebrand, added additional and significant offerings and built the team. Managing all of this is an amazing effort in such a small amount of time for a startup.

They now provide us quarterly updates and these now include a good level of well presented information - this is what grown companies do. They don’t (and shouldn’t) spend their days replying to us internet weirdos who think they know how to run a company better.

If you want to trade a stock, choose Amigo or Syme or something like that - if you want to invest in a startup that appears to be growing rapidly and which has an exciting future then put some money in here and forget about it for 12 months... after 12 months check the sp and pat yourself on the back for being so wise - then forget about it for another 12 months. Rinse and repeat.

Let’s get real folks - lots of people have pumped the stock with lies and deceit, we now have others now who are constantly criticising the stock. All we need to do is sell out if we don’t like it, or hold/buy-in if we do.. then relax and let it do it’s thing.

Anyone been in their bars lately?

On Friday the one I was in was absolutely heaving - hopefully they will have a trading update out soon.

I’ve done some consumer research ( no need to thank me) and the bars in London seem to be doing a great trade, almost impossible to get in. I expect the next trading update to be very positive.

Yeah, that would certainly show some confidence however agree that all those mentioned already own a huge amount - not sure I’ve seen pi’s own such large chunks before.

Happy to follow the money though. I’ve bought a few more, didn’t think I’d get in at this level again.

Tpinvest - you ok hun?

The interims had to be out by the end of this month, that’s standard reporting.

The LSE won’t do RNS’s on a non trading day.

Maybe they realised that late on Friday, they’re based in the US and I’m sure not many of us know all the US public holidays.

So the RNS came out, then less than 30 mins of trading time elapsed before the report was active on the website.. Usually interims are sent out before the trading window or after.

Some people need to chill out.

If you want a stock that could increase 6% a year, which has thousands of employees ensuring communications are always 100% correct and timely, then buy some FTSE100 stocks.. look forward to (hopefully) consistent but small gains.

I’m quite glad they haven’t been wasting money on lots of bean counters and PR people, I’d rather they focussed on growing the business.

I still can’t believe that people get annoyed when they email Gobind and he doesn’t respond.

Try emailing Zuckerburg, Bezos, et al... let me know when they get back to you.

For those of us that have actually been in here for a while, then we should have seen decent rises.

I’m an investor, not a trader.. if you’re a trader then fair enough - but you’re just gambling over the short term. I’m invested in Gobind and Danny, I believe their vision and I believe the product is “of the moment”.

I’m not looking for a profit next week, or next month, or even next year. I’m investing with a 3 to 5 year horizon.

I’m very happy with my paper returns of course, I know there will be an extra 30%+ bump when the funding news is confirmed but I’m more excited about the mcap in 2022/3 and beyond.

Travel man - Just move on. Stick your money in an established firm, or a fund, and enjoy the regular updates which I’m sure will be sent out like clockwork.

I think Alpha has moved on a huge amount in the past 12 months - they have transformed the business, have some scale, they communicate better and they actually look like a professional outfit now.

Could they do better? Of course, everyone can. I’m just looking forward to seeing how they mature.

I'd love for the SP to be more than 65p by the summer however that's already almost doubling from where it is now - the board did reject an offer at 200p however there's obviously been a rights issue since then and a lot more shares in issue.

I do think this has huge potential over the next couple of years - great management team and fantastic employee engagement across the business, something which they seem to have managed to maintained throughout lock down.

My target by the end of summer is 65p.

That's true.

It's just dangerous when ill informed people with a platform say that companies are going to go bust when that's not the case, it can damage the company and obviously impacts shareholders.

With his background it's clear to see he's not a nice person. Each to their own though.

Anyway... Good day for the stock!

“TW is not invariably wrong”

“ However, although his predictions of going bust, fraud etc don't often come to pass” I’d say that makes him invariably wrong.

The man is a fool.

“ Controversy Edit

Winnifrith was expelled from the Liberal Democrat Party by Paddy Ashdown in 1993 for allegedly "pandering to racism". He was subject to an investigation by Metropolitan Police Service at the request of the Attorney General at the time, Sir Nicholas Lyell, and then Shadow Cabinet Minister Jack Straw.[9]

In September 2017, Winnifrith authored an article which claimed that the FCA would not be shutting down Beaufort Securities.[10] In March 2018, Beaufort Securities was shut down, declared insolvent, and charged with fraud, following a joint FCA, FBI, SEC and DOJ investigation.[11][12][13][14][15]”

If I was looking for financial advice I would probably go to the likes of Bernie Madoff and Bernie Ebbers before Tom... and they’re dead fraudsters...

Obviously we all have a moral compass and I just can’t stomach a person like TW.

I believe NGHT have a great management team, a very good proposition and they have hit the market at a good point in the cycle for what they are planning to do.

Wow - you have 3% of Amigo? That’s impressive!

Party at £1 :)

Last chance to buy at 4p.... (thought I’d get in early)

I’d get your eyes tested

Hello - It shows all trades.

Not long till some of their bars will be opening!

Oh come on Daisy, you must get excited about the ducks?

Every body loves a good duck.

Last chance to buy at 3p...

20 bars opening on the 14th April - good to see.

The same crowd as before probably, maybe a new cohort of students as well.

Very confident update.

Debt has gone higher as was expected - however the chancellors schemes were all positive for the sector, they’ve reduced overheads and exited marginal or loss making sites, margins will improve and the business is highly cash generative when open.

Focus will be on paying down debt whilst interest is cheap.

Hopefully RBG will be inline for over £1m as part of BoJo’s restart scheme - should help the share price

Thanks guys, that’s interesting - wasn’t having a pop at anyone just always interested, when I see comments that a company (or anything really) isn’t meeting expectations, what people would want them to do.

E.g. How could they improve their comms and PR?

What steps would you take?
