It's probably best to speak to your broker about this. They should be able to advise you.

"The trade dispute between the US and China has not stopped Chinese firms flocking to the US to list, says Yen Nee Lee on CNBC. There were 37 IPOs by chinese companies in the US this year, including video streaming group iQiyi."
Yooya next year perhaps?

Jim Mellon quote - "We own half a company (Lygenesis) which has worked out a way of taking a dead person's liver, dividing it into roughly 100 pieces and putting each piece into 100 patients with failing livers. Within six months there's a brand new fully functioning liver." Consider what the organ regeneration market would be worth.

'"Cancer immunotherapy didn't exist 6 years ago - it will hit $100 bn in sales next year." Intensity therapeutics could be a significant part of that market in a few years.

Huge strides being made in each of our investees. Looking forward to 2019 folks!

An encouraging RNS even if it does not really tell us anything we don't know already. The good thing is that for the first time FFWD is trading at a discount to NAV, which should underpin the sp. The NAV being book value of course and not the true value reflecting all the excellent progress.

Yeah I appreciate Yooya information is a tough nut to crack. Oh well let's see what info they give out in the interim statement this month.

As taken from the last RNS.

'China has the world's largest online video market, with nearly 610 million online video users on fifty competing online video platforms generating over 31.9 billion hours of video viewing per month. As such, validating actual traffic and performance data for online video is a growing problem for brands and advertisers alike.'

Yooya's website which as we know has not been updated for about 2 years now last quoted that Yooya's network has about 2.9 billion views per month. If we assume that each video viewing lasts an hour that implies that there are now 31.9 billion views per month!!
In reality though each video view is probably less than an hour, implying even greater views per month. We're talking staggering numbers.
Any of you guys who have been researching Yooya have any more info? It would be great to know what their business model is for generating revenue.

Portage up 50%

Great news guys, great news!

As longevity is possibly going to be the biggest market opportunity ever I wouldn't be surprised if FFWD look to increase their stake in Juvenescence if and when they do a series B fund raise. It might just coincide with cash being raised from an IPO/sale of one of our other investments in the near future.

What a difference a day makes! A real sense optimism with today's posts and a feeling that a sea change is underway. Great bit of research guys. News about Factom and Leap especially encouraging.
Dr Wad with his time-machine and other researchers have done us proud!

The results in July stated that FFWD has a NAV of £13.5m. Since then Intensity has had a series B fund raising, Factom is due for revaluation in a series B fundraising in the near future, Aphria's valuation was lifted through it's sale and progress has been made on other fronts. Plus there is cash in the bank. I know some shareholders would like that money reinvested but right now in this bear market cash is probably king.
The NAV in December's statement will almost certainly be greater than £13.5 and our market cap is about £14m. So any further drops in sp will represent a discount to NAV which should then underpin the sp.
What we are witnessing at the moment is shear panic selling, not rational selling based on fundamentals.

I know it's not directly correlated to Factom inc. but when other cryptos are going down the fact that Factom coin is going up shows that people are expecting its usage to ramp up in a serious way.

Absolutely Pred, the AIM market is an incredibly frustrating market, but I do think we'll get there in the end. FFWD is managed by successful entrepreneurs who have invested in companies at the front end of highly disruptive industries such as blockchain, cancer immunotherapy, student finance, and gaming with some of the smartest people at the helm of those companies.

I appreciate what you're saying Pred but the reason people are losing money on this stock, (including me, and I have been in FFWD for three years now) is nothing to do with what people post, but rather that AIM investors are by nature more impatient than your blue-chip investors who sit back with their cigars and wait for retirement.
Aim investors, and I'm partly in this camp, want success tomorrow and if it doesn't happen they sell out. FFWD investors are not seeing the positive updates from the investment companies they had hoped for.
Ramping or deramping on the otherhand has no effect on the share price. What moves the sp is hard fact and good or bad RNS's.
My personal belief is that strong progress is happening, but its happening behind the scenes and we have to be patient. A blue-chip company may double in value in five years. FFWD could double in value in five minutes with one piece of good news. All I saying is let the rampers have their ramp if they want it. They are like excited puppies but quite harmless.

I dispair sometimes at this board with all the childish antics. Give it a rest the lot of you and stop all the bickering. At the end of the day we're all here to make money. End of, and let's not pretend otherwise. Some people will post positive statements about a company and some will post negative ones. As long as they backed up with informed fact and considered reasoning that is all that matters. I personally don't understand why some posters on this board are constantly deriding FFWD because if you are not interested in a company then why bother following it at all. Post on some other company's board. Others will post what some might consider to be overly optimistic statements (or ramping as some like to call it) I don't have a problem with rampers at all because I just see it as a bit of over exuberance but totally harmless, and anyone worth his salt should be able to make his own impartial judgements anyway.
Wadnob may fall into the category of being over exuberant but he does good research and posts useful and interesting links, and is therefore a valuable member of this board. So Wadders, ignore all the childish stupidity and keep posting. I'd rather read your posts than many others.

LME levels dropping heavily this year which bodes well for the Ni price going forward.

Cheers Wadders for the Intensity news. It would be interesting to know who has provided the $6.5 m. I was hoping FFWD might have taken up the option to invest further but I guess they have other investments in mind.
