Gold is on a real run atm. Even without Brexit uncertainty, the Asian and US markets are in uproar over Trump/China tariffs, Japan is now fratching with South Korea, Hong Kong is rioting, Bolsonaro is ****ing up big style, etc etc. The EU is not the haven of serenity that the BBC and Guardian paint it to be and is almost always on the verge of drama and bankruptcy somewhere.

Trump is so shrewd though. He's bound to be personally invested in gold stocks so dollar fall and subsequent run on gold will be good for him personally I bet. Sometimes I think he does this **** on purpose. Sitting there chuckling watching his portfolio fly.

From RNS of June 10: "he immediate next stage regarding Tally® is to further fine tune our processes with a larger customer base, before an official press launch as we focus on increasing users and spreading the message of Tally®."

We have no idea when this official promo will start but it clearly hasn't - yet. But it's there in black and white in the comms. Press is clearly press, not FB and tweets. I am pretty sure the BoD, as dreadful at comms as they have been, understand what a press campaign looks like.

As for Ralph's non reply it's probably because there's an embargo on handing out info on strategic/corporate actions willy nilly. Whatever they're doing we'll all be informed by proper channels at the same time. They've likely been briefed that they cannot say anything until RNS.

It's a curious thing but Tally, much more undersung and with less clout, has hugely better reviews than Glint on Google Play. Glint seem to be bounding ahead physically getting their product out there though.

Apart from one 5 star review, which the writer dropped to 4 stars mid review, the general feedback for Glint has been awful. They appear to be beset by sign up bugs and processing problems yet who are already entering America, half ****ed, as it were.

In fairness you could argue that the Tally reviewers are handpicked users but I'd still expect to see someone ripping it to bits due of law of averages. But there hasn't been anyone. The product, bar a few automation bugs appears far superior, yet any attempt to really push it is excruciatingly slow for those watching. It's obvious all this effort is leading up to something bigger but is a case of when something official is going to begin.

with reply from Tally today.

Very smooth-running app. Hold for gold and the foo-ture. No ATM fees and only a 0.5% account fee per month. Ideal for home or abroad. The future is bright, the future is gold.

Hi M-----, Thank you for your review, and we are glad you are enjoying using the app! We just wanted to let you know that our account fees are actually only 0.1% a month, rather than 0.5%! Best wishes, Team Tally

Well they say they're gearing up for a press campaign it's just a case of when. As I say they've nothing to rush back for in theory, although it all looks really really bad from a shareholder perspective. But we all know most AIM companies don't give two hoots about small shareholders, who are, let's face it, mostly oops traders who got caught out and then stuck. Which is kinda, their own fault. You roll the dice on AIM, you take the consequences. It never was for widows and orphans.

If anyone thinks for a hot minute that CP is about to fall of his podium rep-wise with the way he's 'treated shareholders', don't kid yourselves. The head of EUZ (what was FCR), Justin Tooth, basically wrecked that company, ran it into the ground, destroyed shareholder value, and then...moved on to another cushy managing director job at another firm. Fraudster Eric Scheare of MYSQ has literally run off with AIM shareholder money and is currently shaking hands with a new businessman in the middle east, on the front page of a paper, as if butter wouldn't melt. Help from anywhere? Not a sound. We have a regulatory authority that won't even look at AIM and is potentially complicit in things like the Woodford and other scandals so do not delude yourself that CP's City rep is going to 'suffer'.

Hopefully he's ultimately honourable and I see a lot of people still think highly of him. I've dealt with him in the past and he was reasonable. He just does not engage shareholders with much info. Or he leaves it until the last push up. But that doesn't mean the Tally concept is not good or the product won't take off. It's just going to take it's own time. That timeframe is frustrating many but that's the reality of where we're at.

Seems as if no matter how much carnage you cause some idiot will always let you in as a Managing Director.

Anyway, good to see thing son the turn here. About time holders had some cheer.

Comms have been appalling from on high (the Tally staff, and Ralph, being the exception) but if people haven't cottoned on by now that this will take the best part of/all 2019 to even swing into gear I dunno what to say except it seems blindingly obvious.

Lamenting about it day after day isn't going to alter anything. They have a 'roadmap' which they are following, set out with events to happen at certain times. None of us are privy to that. It's torturously slow to us sitting here waiting but this is a delisted company that theoretically has -nothing- to rush for. Gold's not going to go away. The world will lurch from one crisis to the next indefinitely. As far as (what was) LION is concerned there's plenty of time to roll this out. But the fact that the TALY ticker seems to be in effect via broker notifications suggest things are at least on the move. And another great review has gone in on Trustpilot. I'd just expect a slow build this year. If things speed up and happen quicker, bonus.

Might be worth contacting Tally and telling them this, coot.

I'm assuming others got one of these from their broker just before or over the weekend? Mine landed on the 26th.

Just a simple note to advise re: recent name change that stock ticker is now TALY from LION and portfolio updated to reflect the fact. Here's hoping....

Just a thought but when I signed up I had my passport but what about all those with either no passport or an expired one?

The sign up process seems to rely on one piece of evidence having an accompanying photo. But not everybody is going to be a driver either. For example my parents no longer have passports, though my dad drives. But mum couldn't open a Tally, unless she forked out a hundred quid or whatever it is for a passport that she's never going to use. Now many bank accounts don't need photo evidence, they just do a credit check on you. I wonder if Tally will address this.

It makes perfect sense - it's Bob the god. He pops up any time heatstroke occurs.

Picardy gets it too but in reverse, when he sticks his head in the fridge.

On a more positive note, there's now 70 reviews for Tally. All excellent except one (great). Hopefully bodes well for the future.

I've very little sympathy for solo whingers when in fact we're all in the same boat. There are people like bigbench with a hell of a lot to lose who conduct themselves with more dignity than these whiny fly-by-night punters who take out their frustrations on the product. This forum is not to blame for your investment choices! Why don't you contact CP and have a rant at him, zooropa. That's what he's paid for!

No, it's just you constantly mithering that everything is pants.

Only to be proved spectacularly wrong each time because you have to talk and talk instead of just waiting for stuff to fall into place.

I think people need to separate the different concepts of 1. pleasing disgruntled shareholders and 2. targeting the general public with Tally.

We're on the backburner atm, Keith. Until they get this to a standard they're happy with, and let it fully loose on the general public (with a fuller marketing/advertising campaign, which is said to be on the cards) then we're, dare I say it, just not that important. But then in the history of AIM, were shareholders ever really important? We're halfway through summer and there are 5 months of the year left but their plans extend beyond that. I've accepted that I'll have to be patient with this.

There's always room for more than one burger joint.

...Car companies and food producers of the world, all rehashing the same thing. Clothing brands. Shoes. Hats. Insurance. In and among all these sectors is unique and new products, running alongside old, established ones. The financial market is vast and ever-ready for new concepts. For example, you can stick to Glint, or you can change to some other company. Or to Tally. Or you can have an account with both or all of them. And get along just fine. Variety shouldn't be feared but celebrated. We're lucky we can take advantage of many choices on the same or similar theme.

There's room for Tally, Glint, Goldmoney, etc, and many more. Competition is healthy and inspiring. Just as there's room for hundreds of tiddler oilers on AIM you can chose to buy into. I'm glad to see the fake concern troll has long since stopped with the claims of 'But there's no place for Tally because we already have Glint!'.

Worse still, if you have than £85k and you spread it between banks (say 2 x £85) thinking aha, I can get round the rule but putting my eggs in diff. baskets, some of the banks and building socs are owned by the same entity, so they can get around paying out both your accounts and only pay one lot of £85k. It's insane but there you go.

I am glad Tally are clarifying the ownership issue. People like transparency in those areas a great deal. Knowing the 'what ifs' are almost as big as understanding the confirmed benefits/perks.

Hmm, interesting. Though a lot of these startup CEOs move on relatively quickly once they've got the project up and running. Many seem to thrive on prototyping a thing and then quickly leaving to build something else up from scratch. It''ll be fun to see where he goes.

WHAT'S NEW

We’re continuing to address bugs and add features to make Tally even better. You’ll now be able to see where you have been spending your Tally in the app.

gold-backed, not gold-caked.

Though, same sentiment I guess. :D
