Market Manipulation.
The price is being artificially depressed IMO. There's no reason in a normal World why this should have gone down as far as it has in the past few days with what's happening and the price remaining stagnant at the moment defies belief.

Exactly what I’ve been saying for a while now. Bids are heavily undervalued and it’s not if but when the price soars. So much potential here.

I'm not sure what platforms everyone else is using but the HL one doesn't seem to be able to cope with this today. Pricing all over the place but always up - fortunately.

...but weirdly, mostly from yesterday!
The data on this platform is poor at best.

Not sure why you bothered buying in with that attitude. Things rarely happen overnight. These shares will flounder about until the TU with figures comes in which will be very soon.

For a tech company, which is in essence what Bidstack is, it’s incredibly undervalued at the moment.

There seems to be some price manipulation going on here. Or am I just being paranoid? This should be going up, not down.

I topped up today and interesting that it went through as a very low sell. I certainly got a bargain.

Read the article properly Fursake and you'll see, the author did not state that the share price would climb solely on the basis that it had been higher before.
The business, in my view should be well above 20-35p by now and once a larger party gets interests, will rocket upwards. On a cost/value in terms of reach, in-game advertising beats many other media.

Great to read something like this which puts Bidstack clearly in the industry-wide frame:
"For Seth Schneider, GeForce Esports product manager at Nvidia, adapting some practices from traditional sports may be a key to enhancing pro gaming’s success. “The retirement age of our star athletes is so young, it’s a shame,” he said during a CES panel—but implementing sports-medicine practices for nerve damage, posture health and other common ailments can keep esports players healthier for longer. Schneider also conceded esports leagues can do more to improve their sponsorship and advertising strategies, from custom player-activated ads to embedding marketers’ messages directly into the games via platforms like Bidstack."

An excellent summary but does not in my view reflect the massive increase in games sales and activity. As a route to market for advertisers, this is still in its infancy but Bidstack has an excellent head start. For advertisers, in-game advertising provides an economic route to millions of people a far lower cost than, for example, TV.

The great thing about this guys posts is that they demonstrate the global potential of Bidstack which is still in its infancy. I'll repeat my earlier word 'phenomenal'.

Couldn't agree more. Regardless of the traction to date, the market opportunity is phenomenal. For whatever reason, the price is being artificially suppressed in my view. Hopefully, that will stop soon.

Main markets down today which IMO is depressing everything. Lots of reasons to remain confident here though.

Could be an announcement imminent in the next few days then? I'd be surprised as it would represent a tremendously fast turnaround in the preparation of the accounts. A pleasant surprise if it happens though.

This is the most absurd and childish thread I've seen on any BB.
To start speculating that JD is a lush is not only defamatory but also absurd. Sure, there are risks to any business but to suggest that the business is at this point, solely dependent on the lifestyle, sanity or otherwise health of one person is nonsense.
These sorts of posts do nothing to add value and only do damage. Just when there are positive signs for everyone, some jerk has to come along and talk nonsense. Any sensible investor knows the risks and a short look at the management team and advisers would immediately dismiss any notion that JD was a risk to the business.

As I have stated previously, Bidstack is a business with a fairly unique but potentially cash-rich business model. There have been so many negative comments on this BB in relation to the share performance and the performance of James Draper. Like any relatively new business, it takes time to build and, in the case of a listed company, to build investor confidence. Those are two key factors that drive the share price of any company upwards. The other factor is the environment in which a company operates. The games industry as we have all seen, has benefitted from lockdown and it's an international opportunity so, despite the FTSE climbing c3% today, Bidstack's price is always going to be influenced less by local price movements than the market opportunity.
Unfortunately, many investors here, appear to have invested speculatively just because the shares were cheap. There would have been far less adverse comments had those who invested actually done some research into the market and the business, and the tech that it employs. With early mover advantage, the hope will be that Bidstack can continually reinvest in the technology in order to continue to scale the business and to position itself and the leader in in-game advertising.
From my own perspective, I have a reasonable investment that has now more than doubled in value but I am convinced, that Bidstack has a very long way to go before I'll consider bailing out - if at all.

For anyone on Linkedin, you may have noticed virtually daily posts, along with the regular Bidstack Bulletins. Personally, I think their communication has been excellent. Okay, it's not been direct in terms of business they have picked up but the hype around in-games advertising and their positioning as experts in the field certainly do not come across as being from a company that is stagnating. On the contrary, it suggests great traction in what is a new area of advertising. In June their report suggested that revenues for the year would be H2 weighted but did not state any amounts. Therefore there was no obligation to inform the market on whether they were on track for their internal KPIs or not. There needs to be understanding between the statutory obligations of a listed company and the need to not influence the market unduly. My concern is that there are many investors who do not appear to fully understand the concept of Bids' business model and the market in which they operate. Combine that with the expectation from some that a cheap stock can and should only go up and there will always be ill-informed comments on a board such as this. At the end of the day, the market in general will dictate the value of the business. I think I've said it before here that I work in the tech business World and have seen completely trashy businesses with no future hit unicorn status without listing. In my opinion, Bidstack should have been there earlier this year but too much bad speculation has probably held it back. The next financials announcement should shunt it towards that point but as ever, good things come to those who wait.

Great news.
The article itself is weird. The author appearing to answer their own question. Of course across the board, more subscribers and more choice will mean a dilution across all genres including new pop. However, obvious exception creep in such as MC. The future bodes well for Hipgnosis. The prevalence of aged artists calling in their pension pots through selling advanced royalties to the like of Hipgnosis will gain further momentum, especially now that Dylan has done the same with UM. Likely to be further issues in order to fund future purchases. A fun and potentially lucrative long term business.

..and it's already beginning to turn. It's likely to hover at an average of 6.25p until the New Year unless a fund or similar dives in in the meantime.
