So glad I had the nerve to get in at the ipo. I wish all my interests had the structure, innovation and no-nonsense approach to informing shareholders. Fast becoming Share of the year in my book.

Thanks, extrader & mick2
I`m aware of the silver wrinkly fund ??.
Thought yesterday’s interview may have given some updates as to the development of “Industry 4.0” or even a hint of the Captive Bank progress.
Guess I’ll have to stay detuned to the sarcasm, entertaining as it is.

Likewise sat patiently waiting for more detail on seismic, drilling plans and longer-term production roll out.
Some recoil predicable, but prudent to update D2. Good set of Geologists practicing their due diligence.

Greensill has certainly cast a shadow over supply-based finance. The business model was more of an insurance/factoring service, not what I would define as fin-tech, but that’s journalists seeking sensationalism rather than accuracy.
The media will shortly pickup and start to ramp up the continuing inflation of commodities. Safe to say that everyone’s pockets will be hit, including company’s inventory. Apt timing by Syme and competitive rates by funders would be explosive.

Looking at the latest interview and welcome AGM clarity, AZ appears determined to take on the additional roll as educator to those engaged within the finance sector and media.
Trust through compliance is more important now than ever, a point repeated by AZ in that the blockchain ledger which acts as both a legal document and financial contract regardless of geographical placement. A fully tested system that bridges and liberates finance through Geo governance laws.

Syme has gone through some radical structural changes. It’s been painful at times but from an investor perspective the CEO does sneak into many of his interviews a verbal acknowledgement of support and consideration to all shareholders who supported him.
There’s lots of knowledgeable folk here who have grown prematurely old witnessing the tidy up earlier this year. Informed investors knew although unnerving, this time-consuming restructuring was 100% necessary. Hardly surprising progress is slower than many expect, but certainly lots of announcements due in the next couple of months prior to roll-out to engage eager investors.
Pending progress June/July 2021 onward is the scheduled (implementation) period for Syme rolling out monetisation services. Successful trading announcements are commonly followed by unfathomable dip’s aggravated by MM seeking a favorable entry point. So, I fully expect the SP to be even more volatile in the months ahead.
AZ (CEO) is certainly a flamboyant character, and Syme is certainly not a quick A two B Share, more of an A two Z LTH journey.

Best Wishes Health & Prosperity .

Holding re Pending news of captive bank completion and capitalisation by Quadrivio.
Once complete the monetisation can start.
Quadrivio to release news, Eyes peeled.
Interesting all this pump and dump without any real change, anyway break over, back to the tedious X & Y calcs

Thank you for your time in posting a thought-provoking informative account.
Your post has made me rethink how I view SYME.
I for one have mistakenly taken the view Syme is desperate to seek funders and partnerships to enable a quick prove of concept.
I have now turned these 180 degrees and view SYME as the company which sets strict criteria as to what they require from their potential partnerships to enable stability.
Tradeflow
Negotiations between SYME and TF will have been ongoing for some time and TF may well need to adapt or bolt on a platform conducive to the SYME model. TF will have its own objectives but with recent news one can assume that it’s at the final stage.

Storm Harbour.
If in theory as I’ve read here SH want a bigger slice.
Have they for example adequate specialist personnel to meet SYMES objectives. SH has been on a recruitment drive recently.

Applying the 180 rule to every part of the model may account for the delays, but crucial in structuring a viable stable business.
I’m not unduly concerned about funders as there’s lots of money sloshing about trying to find a good home.

Liking the Dragons Den analogy, although sadly one or two think we’re stuck in the lift forever.
Still enjoying the journey…GLA

Questions regarding funding of any buyout is always a tentative period for shareholders concerned about the immediate effect on the SP. Inclusion of private equity firms, a controlling equity interest, dilution and even reversal to name a few are all potentials contributed by the BB. The method used is usually secretive, frustrating as it is.

Fintech as with any new disruptive technology has always been full of businesses gambling to get to the finish line without drilling down to a firm footing demonstrated recently by Greensill.
The talent and expertise of the Syme board aim to deliver long term benefits rather than short term Opacic SP gains.
Like many sat in the “waiting room” news of any potential buyout is a daunting task for any young company including those invested. Knowing the calibre of the mentioned company can give some comfort.
The link below is a good start and worth a look if you’re at a loose end. (Apologies if previously posted on the BB).

IMO:
This may sound trivial but Syme gives me the impression of happy company, full of enthusiasm, ambition & innovation, and those are important factors with any success whether as an independent or in collaboration.
GLA

Delays in progress are often perceived as a negative, a detrimental effect on the normal fluctuations within the SP. I work on the principle, have delays changed SYME`s long term growth objectives or potential?
If it had I would be out by now regardless of pride or cost.

@argo007 Agree 100%
I believe that most here would welcome some media input from the array of talent on the board.
Seems a shame to keep all that expertise locked away.

Not rainbow chasing, just some noted thoughts including Tradeflow whilst holding for the progress/status on the fol-lowing.

1) Captive bank setup and funders (The Quadrivio fund "Industry 4.0"pending investment in and capitalise the Captive Bank on completion). Offshore?
XP) A captive bank is a wholly- or partially owned subsidiary of a company that plays its role as a bank only for the benefit of one legal entity (usually the same company that owns the bank), its customers, and suppliers.
More here
https://www.businesspundit.com/encyclopedia/investing/captive-bank/

2) Tradeflow: Buyout (HoTs)
Questions remain, including funding (Aprils Annual Report due)
Tradeflow strategy: more below.
https://www.gtreview.com/news/on-the-move/tradeflow-capital-management-hires-digital-strategy-director/

3) Self-funding service to banks.
XP) Self-Funding is gathering financing through banks and other institutions ("Self-Funders") that also offer the Inventory monetisation service direct to their customers, such that the banks
and their client base can benefit from the systems, assessment and monitoring processes of Supply@ME's Platform.

I would love to hear from these guys.

To sum up IMO:
Once the captive bank phase is complete and with funding in place monetisation will commence, hence the more realistic time scale given by AZ.

Tradeflow: A big task for SYME at this early stage.
This could go in any direction, if successful a serious game changer.

Like a good book, it’s hard to put down.

An interesting week to say the least.
I invested in Nov and have added since. Still in today as I think it has potential in this market sector.

I have always questioned myself who would do the due diligence of the syme model and indeed its clients.
The answer is still open, but IMO it appears to be split between funders accepting or clients or funders not 100% confident with the Syme model.
If the calibre of client is in question or rejected, then these should be removed from the listings.
Listing potential client numbers is in my view is wrong. Releasing funded client’s numbers adds confidence and shows real progress.
If the funders have a Syme model issue, then this needs to be addressed. The circle of Assessment, planning implementation and evaluation of any fledgling company is paramount to its success.
That said if the SYME is in question, I hope the stagnant implementation stage moves to an evaluation mode with necessary amendments introduced.
I really hoped that SYME has learnt from their earlier mistake of not being concise with their RNS, hence having to explain later. The last explanation sadly ended up being over enthusiastic as per the usual style adding yet more fuel.
I’m not impressed by Wallbrook
I hope to see improvements within the PR section and clear performance-based information to the markets.

I still have faith, but perhaps I’m asking too much.

GLA and have a great weekend

RNS X2 due X1 = PRICE MONITORING :) :)

19th March (TradeFlow) "SYME expects (not will) to announce a further update within the next month".(IE: April)

A whip round on the BB would have raised more....

Jarv55 Bang on
Fully expect that Tradeflow will turn up the volume shortly.

Re RNS Don't forget that the schedule of updates regarding client and other progress is monthly so the next Rns is only the beginning.
For those wanting a quick round up of Syme as of 25th march (use Google Translate)

Apologies if this has been previously posted.

Some may just be waiting for the RNS due before the end of March others the financial accounts.
IMO Tradeflow is my good news, a perfect fit within the SYME global model.

1) New personnel & workforce with global experience.
2) A highly visible front-end international platform. (Media friendly).
3) Proven track record.
I certainly not encouraging those to invest without doing their own due diligence but for myself this news has clarified and addressed a missing link within the model giving me the confidence to increase my own investment.

Basic stuff, but a few highlights below.

Release date 19 March 2021
SYME has Signed a Heads of Terms with Singapore-based FinTech-powered commodities trade enabler, TradeFlow.

About TradeFlow
TradeFlow Capital Management (TradeFlow) is the world's first FinTech-powered commodities trade enabler focused on SMEs.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) notes that Around 60% of trade finance requests from small businesses are rejected by banks and as high as 74% according to the Asia Development Bank in 2017. The Rejection is reported often on the basis that the transactions are too small (below US$15m) to support the Banks capital allocation costs.
In February 2020 we launched our second fund to cover EURO Trade Investments, the Cayman Emerging Manager Platform SPC – EURO Trade Flow Fund SP.

Tip from my broker.
Beware of the possibility of SP price distortion around the 6th APRIL as lots of new money coming into SS ISA wrappers.

My own experience and sadly all to frequent.
One thing worse than watching your stock go down is watching stock go up and no longer holding, so good luck wherever you choose to invest.
