Hi WIlko!
https://tinyurl.com/ybzydd4n - section A2 of this doc appears to set out the admission procedure (it's not super helpful but it might help us search the net for key documents).
Apparently UKLA compliance committee meets this Thursday. Someone knowledgeable said that once UKLA give the ok it is standard practice to allow 2 weeks to listing. This ensures time for an orderly market. From that point, for Argo IPO there are apparently 3 possible dates: 12th, 19th or 26th.
The big money is on the 19th!
BLU is the only FORTUNE cookie I need Spotted :) Takes a while to shake and stir though apparently. Have a Mojito on me. By the way I followed you on Twitter and I'm enjoying your activity pics of all the paintings - maybe one BLU day I'll be able to afford one ;)
I also liked one article you shared from New Scientist describing blockchain

One big problem with the article though! I could only read the first few paragraphs since New Scientist haven't (yet) employed the services of Satoshipay to allow me to pay a nanopayment and read the rest for a tuppence, instead of buying a whole subscription!
I've literally seen friends on Facebook going on about £6-8 a MONTH subscriptions to this or that online magazine, thinking that's a good deal and I'm there thinking, you must be mad.
I will tell them one day about how I was there at the early stages of the next publishing revolution.
Enjoyed getting ****ed ;)
Reaching for a BLU cocktail Spotted and what do I find next to it?a fortune cookie containing the message, "sometimes it is better to go and do something else" (now to follow my own advice) https://tinyurl.com/y6went92
I have. Despite how the annual report is a fairly dry read at first, the devil's in the detail a bit. Of course I totally agree regarding the potential here and as most will be aware from my posting history I always have! You're v lucky with your low average SP, possibly the best I've heard of from anyone who's announced it on here but there might be some longer term holders who still make something from selling at such low levels. Either way once this gets going I'm hoping all our averages will be neither here nor there... [p.s. just got account set up now and followed you]
*Cash up £190k
*Reported 6 months loss £50ok compared with a loss of £115k for the six months ended 31 March 2017
*Reduction in the estimated value of DTL asset (the £400k "write down") - as far as I can tell this links to above point
*Net assets down <1%
*£50k original investment in Sthaler (Fingopay) now est. at £300k
*Sthaler will have new launches scheduled for later in 2018
*Think the best bit is this: "The investment in SatoshiPay represents an exciting opportunity for the Company and we are delighted to have secured such a large position at what we believe is a very attractive valuation."
liking the use of "very"... my speculation now: BLU might have a nice little something up its sleeve related to the 1st Dec RNS.
https://tinyurl.com/y8j5sh42 Crypto markets may be down but doesn't seem to have affected investment in blockchain concepts/use cases. E.g. Telegram, the encrypted messaging app, recently raised $1.7bn through the sale of its own cryptocurrency, while Kik, an ad-free messaging app, also launched its own digital token. Most recently in May, Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg appointed one of his most senior lieutenants to head a team to experiment with blockchain, the decentralised digital ledger technology.
Spotted sorry about that, on the cusp too - hope you enjoy the punishment though :)
Odd that VELA employees themselves (who said tomorrow for Argo IPO) are less informed than shareholders - clearly we all need your contacts Presto! Oh well good things come to those who wait.
Presto - awaiting Twitter unfortunately - will do as soon as they unsuspend my account
"Your account is suspended and is not permitted to follow users."
- annoying but at least they're serious about false accounts (re US election!)!
