The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Thank you TAF , I thought we did but having been away came back to a lot of posts that seemed a bit unusual.
The main thing I wanted to know was that we get 100% of any brand sale of the Rum and we keep 100% of all revenue it generates.
It looks very much like we do.
Just buy them would be my advice , buy them at any price.
MM's will always play the short game, just barge past them.
"Furthermore, we were very pleased to enter into a new partnership with another global IT services company during the period, and the first project under this new partnership commenced post-period end in August. We believe there is significant potential for growth with this partner and look forward to updating shareholders in this respect."
DXC.
Are you still in here Adam? I hope so , we have a significant new partner.
This trademark thing is all a bit disconcerting are we 100% certain that Distil own all the rights to the Red Leg Rum Brand including manufacturing the brew?
Or is it brewed/distilled under licence or do we simply buy Rum and blend it and re sell it?
Hi Guys well done all who held.
Been away on hols but nice to get back to a deal at long last.
Good to see your in profit Sam ,always protect your profits, topslice when the opportunity presents .
Good luck everyone once the deal has concluded the new company will be called CloudCoCo plc
Then we should start to see some newsflow.
Oh it will be going back up alright, there is a lot to come here.
It's not about which is best or where you will see bigger gains they are 3 different companies and situations.
MXCP is the mothership it is safe as houses it has vast connections and wealthy backers.
It is a safe place for slow growth and dividends etc.
IDE is by far a bigger company than AD4 and has over £41m of revenues which are growing.
It has enormous capacity at its data centres which are underused and seem to be getting cleared out of smaller customers to make way for a surge of larger ones.
Again this company is just beginning its recover and I think it has a lot of upside ahead.
AD4 is the baby it is by far the smallest but small means it has room for growth.
Kape is a solid growth company with lots of cash and a growing customer base.
It is destined for much bigger things and will be less volatile than the likes of AD4.
I like DIS for a pure gamble that it might do well over xmas and that their main brand might be starting to attract the attention of a predator.
But it is very high risk.
No lol I dont think it will hit 10p soon thats not what I am saying.
I think it has every chance of hitting 10p at some stage but not for a while yet.
Short term might see 6p for example.
But you have to decide whats best for you and nobody ever went bust taking a profit.
You should invest to match your personality.
I prefer high risk high gain.
However I also prefer solid as a rock with massive upside.
Something like KAPE might suit you better.
I expect the sp to double this year and it is supported by £36m in cash.
I like this and IDE and MXCP because all 3 have a lot more to go and the management are heavily incentivised by owning a large chunk of each company.
Dear god man thats not how you do things.
People panic and sell at a loss because they have not done their research and due diligence properly.
If you do your research properly then you know what you invested for and why.
Otherwise you should never invest in a company.
Dont invest until you are happy about the risk v reward ratio.
Jumping in and out like that is an MM's dream you earn them fee's and they score on the spread every time.
If it is any consolation remember this.
The people behind this company need at least 10p to even break even and they will be intent on doing so.
Otherwise they wouldnt have funded a rescue plan.
This is nothing some deals can take up to a year.
How could you have lost money on this when did you invest Sam?
We should be getting news very soon , next week is likely but could come sooner.
Nice to see some buying here again.
The deal has already been concluded.
Lots of paperwork has to be filed and other matters seen to.
News will be out soon.
There is a correct order things will be rolled out in.
This includes IDE news.
Just ignore the trolls they bring nothing to the table.
Well you wont have to wait much longer possibly even tomorrow ;)
Gin has peaked in 2019 a lot of craft gins will start to disappear as their profits slump.
The new growing trend is for Rum.
As rum continues its premiumisation journey, the broader category is witnessing impressive results in developed ****tail markets. In the UK, sales of rum surpassed £1bn (US$1.3bn) for the ?rst time last year, according to the Wine and Spirit Trade Association. Dedicated rum bars and menus are boosting the visibility and perception of the category, while brand messages around heritage, provenance and quality production are also making an impression on consumers.
Yes I am quite sure you do there are many shop workers out there and they all do a grand job.
The GIN market is completely saturated the money is now in RUM.
The trade press for the drinks industry can confirm this.
The fastest growing market in the world is the RUM market.
Much better to be on a boat thats just leaving port than one that has already arrived.
We know that Clod Coco are to merge with the current AD4 business with the head of CC joining the AD4 board.
Cloud Coco bring a vibrant sales team and some very juicy and LARGE orders which cant be announced yet as they are in the process of merging with AD4.
The Government have just listed Cloud Coco as one of several preferred companies for its new £400m data infrastructure fund.
This alone could be worth tens of millions to AD4/CC
The tie up with CC is well underway and should be finalised soon.
Good luck to all holders.
The Parent company for want of a better name MXCP is building up an IT Services business for Liberty Global.
I suggest you google them.
LG are one of the biggest global corporations on the planet.
Their founder has the largest land ownership in North America John Malone.
His largest shareholder is one of his closest friends one Warren Buffet.
Anyway they gave the task to MXCP to build them an in house IT services co In Europe,
MXCP are in the process of doing this and set up a joint venture with LG called MXLG.
MXCP own 50% of the joint venture.
MONEY is not a problem LG have oh around 50 Billion at their disposal on any given day.
MXCP have the skill-sets.
They have already bought 2 small companies for this new buy and build mini giant (they expect to buy around 14 companies for this project and combine them into one giant worth more than £100m)
IDE is in my estimation being 'groomed' for this project.
AD4 could just as easily be in the frame.
Why save it it would have been cheaper for them to let it go.
Once it has built up enough mass MXLG might buy it and it owes MXCP a minimum of 30p per share not to mention £10m of loan notes.
I would be looking for 40p min for a low ball offer when the time comes with an upside of £1
This is what MXCP do , it is what they are known for and it is why they are here with head of MXCP Ian Smith currently running IDE to get it "sorted"
MXCP have done this multiple times already with Tax Systems and Castleton Technology and Redcentric and Accumuli and many unlisted ones.
That's the word on the street so to speak but best you research it all for yourselves.
I know that larger holders of 1m shares and more like myself are not selling for less than 30p.
The large main holders the 94.8% they are not selling any at all ever.
This I can guarantee.
They will cash out when the company has been sold.
I cant say more but 30p min is my first target.
You must do whats right for you though and don't take this as advice in any way.
I'm just sharing what I know or have heard and think.
Guys can I just point out 1 thing ok .
The backers MXCP and Kestrel etc Also Nigel Wray wont be selling a single share in IDE or AD4.
I know how they operate.
MXCP and Kestrel (Max Royde) are all interlinked and invested in ALL MXCP companies.
Along with retired stockbroker ans serial investor Richard Griffiths.
Ravenscroft bought 25% of the MXCP operating business last year.
Ravenscroft are Stephen Lansdown multi billionaire founder of Hargreaves Lansdown
MXCP are also working on a joint venture 50/50 with Liberty Global one of the largest companies on the planet and has Warren Buffet as their largest shareholder.
Liberty Global approached and asked MXCP to build them up from scratch a £100m -£500m IT Services company.
MXCP have already started doing this.
NOBODY involved will sell ANY IDE or AD4 not ever.
The way MXCP work is to build companies up to critical mass and then they cash out by selling them.
IDE for example would be a perfect fir for the Liberty Global deal which is known as MXLG (not liste privately owned by mxcp and liberty)
So the only people selling any shares in either company will be profit taker and the like.
This is not up for question it is the plan it is what MXCP do.
Hope this info helps.
It can all be found on the various connected sites and RNS's.
You will always find these sore losers who missed the boat.
AD4 is not a shell it has revenues of £8m and a fully staffed operating business.
This is clear to see for anyone wishing to go to the trouble of looking.
