The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring financial educator and author Jared Dillian has been released. Listen here.
fled the building or busy researching vemo again?
am i the only one not worried?! and im 40% down, and i hold more than one of the directors :-)
juv, emmac, leap, portage - as matador alluded to earler today. i always said i was on the fence with factom, and was happy to ditch everything else.
as i also said... you cannot expect a fund to hit jackpot with every single investment. as i also said... and alot of you know.... i won a few companies, and so i understand what it takes to start one, what it takes to develop one, and what it takes to sell one (if you want to sell it)
ffwd - for me.... going in the right direction. im happy.... i will be even happier when everyone not happy sells everything up tbh....
and we can move forward.... probably fast forward
Everything you mentioned should be included in the results as an update of our investees
We are a fund Rob. Lorne is treating it as a fund. Different to a single entity. It's frustrating for some I guess. But I get it
I don't see the relevance of justifying an rns simply because we have just sponsored a group of PhD students to do some research.
If your going to do that you may as well do an rns when the CEO takes a coffee break
There are about 15 companies I could invest in right now as their sp is on the floor. No one could have predicted the market would have collapsed like it has as a result of brexit and trade war.
It's just a moment in time
I truly believe there are alot on here too bogged down on the detail and micro analysing the day to day movements.
It is pretty obvious that when the sp recovers, there will be alot of investors who will run for the door.... Desperate to get out.
I look at this different. At a top level, just remind yourselves what our value will be post IPO for 3 of our investees. Excluding our cute little leap.
You seriously need to look bigger picture guys rather than moaning about ffwd not belting out an rns on an extended post graduate research program. That is not rns material.
You have juv next year set to take about 4 drugs to phase 2, without partners required?!
You need one of our investees to do well! Not all of them!and to expect every company to become huge is simply crazy.
Me.... Emmac, juv, portage with a splash of leap on the side to keep me happy.
I didn't even make the first line this time of odonnell message. I'm currently on the floor recovering again.
Some of you mentioned that the latest info should be rnsd. I agree with doggo. This stuff does not need an rns as it doesn't effect the relationship between ffwd and it's investors.
I would rather have one big rns than 20 investee updates. That has been tried before. I didn't work.
So stop moaning that you need rns's all the time.
If you're happy with the portfolio then just relax
and my £20 ticked us up 2%, so dont say i dont contribute :-) x
and so first of all.... lordsnooty made me chuckle.... it wasnt me that bought 5 shares, but it was so funny... i bought £20's worth a moment ago. just to see if i can single handed-lee.... raise the sp?!
moving onto leap.... ive been reading the posts. leap is interesting. so here is what i think....
we own 45% of leap - which - quote me if im wrong, makes us the majority share holder?
now when it comes to buying a company, companies buy other ones for all sorts of reasons, not just to compliment their portfolio, but you also get what i call.... aggressive take overs. this is my language, its when a company simply sees another one as a competitive threat and then buys it.... and takes it out of the equation.
now with leap, the simple fact is, not many companies will be bidding for it. but - we are the majority shareholder which means we can dictate the direction of leap. endeavor would not be keen on trying to replicate leap as that would not be cost effective and it would also mean disrupting the currents strides they have made with img arena. it simply would not be in their interest to replicate what leap has done. - which is good.... because that is one of the dangers of a company like leap... replication.
so.... the question of can we sell leap? well of course we can, and we will.... if something gets in the way of preventing this happening then we can put pressure on img, stating the leap wishes to change direction. however that might look like.
and so leap is actually like the ace of spades in our deck of cards. all we will come down with lorne is greed in sellling it.
last sale we did reached a 500% profit. so think about it. and this company plays into lornes own territory, he knoes the market.
relax people :-) now... im back to jobmove, because thats growing rapidly now as well...
ummm... dont 'judge' someone?... isnt that what you've been doing all day?! lol - thats the post of the day.... right there!
no one is going to report you barwickman, we need you on here for entertainment purpoese whilst the sp is stagnant. and doggo needs his *****.... and so we are not going to get in the way of that little love thing.
i think 'bar' and 'wick' is some kind of amateur suedo porn name to demonstrate his standing in the thai bars. i bet hes gutted i just pumped £50 into ffwd just now... that would probably provide him with 6 hours entertainment in the hovels he visits.
dirty sod #2
hes in a ladyboys bar in thailand on his 4th pint of lager top. hes not quite with it
barwickman..... ive gotta help you out here.....
doggo... uses the word 'clown'
doggo... mentioned rich's 20k posts
you see where im going with this? stop copying doggo.... its just wrong on so many levels
ive just bought £50 quids worth. you watch that sp shoot up now. chilston means business...
Come on lordsnooty. Let me test the water at least?!
Holy crap. Bid is rising. Quick.... Quick..... **** me off..... **** everyone off!!!! It's fecking working!!!!!
Lordsnooty.... It's about time we had a shot at you. I truly believe your wife buys andrex soft toilet tissues because it reminds her of the puppy adverts. Can you confirm if I'm right?
Oh god. There is proper puppy love happening here?! I can see the stains on the curtains. Proper disgusting.
