I think a fairly safe bet in that the company now has a decent forward strategy.

Goonerboy, we’ll just have to agree to disagree then. No point lowering ourselves through getting into a spat.

Goonerboy, I invested before the masks came about and saw the company then for what it is. The question of the masks changed the situation and pulled in masses of investors on a purely speculative basis. My underlying point is that many people invested without doing any research so if they lost money, well, they bought the ticket and took the ride.
Investing in any business should taken seriously and based on research. Whilst investing in any business can be seen as somewhat of a gamble, it shouldn’t be treated like a lottery. Anyone that takes the latter view is bound to be exposing themselves.
The RNS now demonstrates that the company now has some strategic direction that has a far better chance of delivering longer-term shareholder value than previously. The potential is now there but it’s still unlikely that a fast buck will be made. Anyone rushing in without researching first really only has themselves to blame if they lose thousands.

It really beggars belief as to why so many people on this dumb chat board are invested in NNN.
This is an R&D company, not a manufacturing and sales company. The value is in the exploitation of the research and in finding ways to commercialise without significant investment in manufacturing facilities etc, hence the farming out (excuse the pun) of the manufacturing of the masks.
Nanotechnology is still in its infancy compared with many other types of tech but it has applications across many other forms of tech, e.g. microprocessors. The fact that they have developed a means to combat the spread of viruses either through masks or through air filtration systems is commendable. The value will come as these are adopted by other firms which the RNS implied is the strategy moving forward. The main vulnerability in terms of the long-term value for the company as far as I see it is Dr Cave. He is key to the future of the company, although their move into smart new premises could mean they attract others into the fold.
To summarise, this is a long-term hold for me, not an overnight spin. Anyone investing now will have a lovely nest egg in the future, IMO.
DYOR, GLA.

Of course, they hold the IP which can be licensed out across multiple territories which for them would be better than trying to manufacture themselves. That’s where the gold lies. Just look at ARM.

Well said. I’ve been saying this all along. Few people here seem to understand that this is an R&D company with enormous potential. The masks have blinded people into a short term whim. This is a long-term hold. The HVAC potential is far greater than the masks. Especially for hospitals etc. The new strategy makes perfect sense.

Sorry but I must disagree. Gaming numbers are rising all the time. Advertisers need to get to certain demographics and young people watch less TV and spend more time on other media, such as games.
Bidstack has been increasing its partnerships with games publishers and its tech works. As someone that advises tech companies, I can tell you that there are plenty of real dogs out there in the waiting.
Unfortunately, AIM stocks are seen as a means to get rich quick (which in some cases they can be) but Bidstack is a firm, long-term hold for me.

Now advertising through Bidstack. So when you get one of the most enduring and recognisable brands in the World on the platform, you know you’re in to something good. DYOR GLA

It's been that way all week.

Another buy gone through as a sell. This needs a little more time to settle before it starts climbing properly.

Brilliant news in the run up to Xmas. Anything booked now will be in the end of year t/u which should be well beyond expectations considering the traction gained in the past couple of months. Bids is certainly now a force to be reckoned with in the media World.

My buy at 15:06 is showing as a sell. Consequently, I'd suggest that quite a few more are as well. That would have a potential affect on the SP. However, with all the buzz coming out of Bids and their partners of late, combined with the expectation of the heavier weighting for H2 in terms of sales, something big is surely in the air. I'd say that today was probably the calm before the storm. Thursdays are often RNS days for Bids - here's hoping. GLA

…Bids we’re a US company, it would be a unicorn by now. IMO DYOR GLA

Girdz, there’s no need for ramping if you do your homework. Unfortunately, both ways, too few people here understand the business or the environment in which it operates. GLA

Just added 100k. It’ll probably show as a sell here. Who cares, a bargain with what’s to come.

It beggars belief the nonsense that’s posted on the board. Most of it is unintelligent drivel and seems to be designed to derail the share price and the company. Some people here also believe they have the right to make personal comments about the company’s board and employees. Why are people posting stuff like that and doesn’t LSE have any moderators? Please, can we confine comments to polite, company-related insights and discussion?

@EarlofAim U&I came in nicely for me. Unexpected overnight profit of 80%. Bids likely to be considerably more but not overnight. Long creep first.

I had said ages ago that BIDS is a potential takeover target. The news about Zynga’s interest might confirm this. The combination of Bidstack and Pubguard is quite a compelling one. With over 2bn shares in issue, it could be sometime before potential buyers build up a position that needs to be declared but with the price creeping up, I wouldn’t be surprised if that is under way. Obviously any takeover would be subject to both board and shareholder approval but the price could shoot up well before any intentions are expressed. All my own opinion so do your own research and good luck.

Look at the web sites of most listed companies and they’re at best rubbish. You sell through engaging with people, not through a fancy website.
