The market clearly doesn't agree with you Rusty.

Over on iii the oracle(s) (big bear and sobeit) reckon these figures are pretty good stuff after all, so I guess I was wrong when I suggested they were a bit underwhelming.

at 13.45p per share approx. And falling.

Decidedly underwhelming. Not even a suggestion about when we might move back into profitability/ My guess is a significant short increase to push the price down further, courtesy of JPMorganAssets. This certainly isn't going to fly based on any news just given/ All IMO.

Me too.

Why does anyone think that next week's update is going to do anything positive for the sp? The update is only to confirm the figures already anticipated on 9th October for the period leading up to 30th September. The last time figures were updated like this (the Final results for May) they were slightly better than anticipated in the previous trading statement but didn't do jack-5hit for the sp. There's not likely to be an unexpected jump into profit or anything remotely near that. And even if there's a positive trading outlook it can only really cover the period from 30th September to the 17th November which is less than a month and a half since thelast set of figures. Let's be real. This share's going nowhere until the comany moves back into real profit, and that's still some time in the distant future (I hope so anyway). By then Tosca will be helped over the 30% winning line by the drop that's coming next week. Let's face it. We're all going to get shafted before this is all over. Like Rusty, I'm prepared to see this one play out, in the vague hope of a miraculous recovery. But I'm not holding my breath. This is going to get taken out by Tosca, and Griffiths, who hasn't bought any for months and months and when he did aid over 30p per share average I reckon), will do alright, as will Mike Lynch, and the others (including JP Morgan, who'll get a nice cheque for dropping the sp to allow Tosca to do all this at a cut price rate). It's crony capitalism at its worst IMO and the one's who'll pay are us (but not sobeit and Big bear over on iii who'll still somehow manage to turn it into a success story). All IMVHO of course

Some might think they're working together Rusty. I couldn't possible comment.

JPMorgan Assets still have their short open on blinkx, and never closed when the price fell well below its current level. My guess will be that the update will indeed be flat and the sp will tank again, with a little help from their mm friends. The shorters have consistently called this right for the last couple of years. This will of course help Tosca and co if they want to build up their holdings as expected as well. I hope I'm wrong too.

By a quite remarkable co-incidence Lambrini Girl apeared 5 minutes later to point out the following: Lambrini Girl: "SELL 36p target 12p<<<hit 14p..near enuff for a BANG ON!!..nice bounce off the buyzone." Blooming heck, I guess he/she must even read the LSE board despite the dross posted on here.

(Cont... "It wasn't the product that caused the market to kill the price; it was the load of rubbish that Edelman wrote, which he later had to retract, that caused the market fall and Blinkx has still to recover from that. However, Edelman did have one benefit and that was for Blinkx to make sure its act was clean. It could not counter the "mud sticks" attack by Edelman but it has certainly done so since then with all the layers of security and product improvements it has now implemented in its products both pre and post and its focus on mobile. So, to the person who thinks I have made a huge loss, when did you last see Blinkx at 12p or anything like it? So put your brain between your ears and just look at the logic. Even today's price is still well above the 20p average that it was in 2008/2009. In the years from 2007 to today, Blinkx has rocked and rolled with the advertising, video market as it has evolved. What I like about them is they have the nous, the intellect and the products to go with the rolls and to come out with best of breed products. How many others have spent billions and failed in that? We are now in the "last man standing" scenario with these advertising products. The companies trading in the "pig swill" of programmatic of which there are hundreds and where CPMs are sold for peanuts will die deaths and will be killed by the "adblockers". Blinkx, on the other hand, is concentrating on "premium content" and that is where the real money will be made. So, lets wait until 17th November and see what the market says then. If Blinkx is on track, the losses are at least diminished or removed and the future looks bright then we can expect a good rise in the price. As for the insinuation I might be "Big Bear" in disguise, that would actually be in contravention of the rules of iii and just to put your mind at rest I am not but I do give him credit for having a level of understanding of what Blinkx is about which has obviously gone straight over the heads of the "dogs", flea bitten or otherwise, that reside on LSE." Well. There you have it. I was wrong and gdog's a bit of a fibber. He's made profit all the way. He apparently hasn't been in and out after all, despite me thinking I'd read earlier comments where he said he had. I was obcvciously mistaken and apologise with great sincerity.

Here's the response to my earlier post about sobeit and big bear just posted on iii. I thought it only fair to post his response here in his own words seeing as I made certain inferences about him/them. "When I have nothing better to do, I sometimes have a squint at LSE to see if there are any signs of intelligence there. Suffice it to say that when I went there today I found out that the flea bitten dog was still gnawing road kill over there. He has the temerity to claim that he and I had a barney back in 2009. If that was the case, which I don't remember, then it is clear from his vitriol that he lost big time. As for me, I never remember what he says or said because it is always so trivial due to his addled brain. I also note that somebody on LSE claims I have always been wrong about Blinkx and that I must have lost big time. Well, just to inform them, I bought into Blinkx when they were 12p to 14p after they had floated at 40p, staged to 60p and then fell like a stone in the region of 12p to 20p where they remained for nearly a year. People, like myself and Safari Norman were two early buyers of Blinkx shares starting back then because I believed in Mike Lynch, his philosophy and his products and how Blinkx was a product for its time. Now, how could I ever lose since even in the bad times Blinkx always traded above 12p and mainly around the 16p level and if I was to say how many I bought, it would bring tears to their eyes. And obviously when they went from 12p up to £2.30p, it would have been sheer greed and stupidity not to cash in on the way up and likewise to have bought on the way down after big drops since I have always been certain that the Edelman farce was a means of a "killing" by a paid for bit of rubbish. So, my average is still well covered at today's prices and I expect to make a big killing after 17th November when I believe the price will again start to reflect its true value." (Cont...)

I'd like to bet those were late-reported buys that took place earlier when the price was 3% down.

Ah, it was him who you were referring toas Fullofit. I thought it was. What makes me smile is how he keeps telling people that he's put them on filter, only to respond every time anyone says anything he doesn't agree with. Me, I wouldn't filter anyone, because most peole talk ****e anyway. Me included of course.:) Hope you're doing good gdog.

Ironically, there's post on there called LambriniGirl who's appeared adn predicted catastophic falls in the SP on several occasions, even predicting a falldown to 12-14p a few months ago, this when we were nearly back up to 40p. An obvious de-ramper if you ever saw one. Always claims that the 'charts' areshowing it's going this way or that (usually downwards though). She/he's was predicting big falls just before the Edelman short ended, to much derision on there, followed by incredulity when the predictions came about. I read all of the comments on there and here (don't bother with ADVN, they just hurl abuse at each other), but am now canny enough not to listen to anyone who claims to be able to read the runes or claims inside techinical expertise. I just need the SP to get back up to the 90p mark so I can make an exit from this investment nightmare. I'm prepared to lose the lot, or get my money back, but I ain't got a clue were the SP is going. I suspect no one else does. My guess is a low ball buyout, but I wouldn't base investment decisons on anything anyone else, or what someone like me says. No oner knows bugger all for certain, although some appear more convincing than others It's great fun on the AIM casino, but I do wish I could get out as quickly as possible. It's all been very stressfull. My hair is much thinner than it was 2 years ago, and would like to leave with at least some of my hair intact./.

I've been reading tha good factual posts on iii since the Edelman short first began, especially the upbeat, positive posts by sobeit. and the one's from Big Bear in the last few days. Despite all these very positive, very informative and upbeat analyses I've seen the SP collapse from125p down to what it is now. I now take them all with a very big pinch of salt. Everything predicted by sobeit has gone down the toilet in in the real world of SP prices, although he claims he's constantly well in profit and awaiting the next big rise from which he'll profit again. Several posters on there reckon he's a ramper and also take his supposed 'expertise' with a pinch of salt. His posts do seem highly knowledgable, informed and very, very convincing. The diction, language, sentence structure, expertise and 'inside' knowledge of Big Bear, who's seemingly appeared in the last few days, claiming that RhythmOne and RhythmMax is the next big thing in online advertising, bears an uncanny resemblance to Sobeit himself. Some might even think they're one and the same person, but I couldn't possibly comment. Both are predicting that everything's looking so good that the next update in November will show that things are much better than the August 23rd profit warning, and that Blinkx SP is about to take off again big style. I sincerely hope for all of us that these predictions come true, but won't feel too surprised if they're don't bear fruit. This is because I've read all Sobeit's predictions before, and seen them come to nought. He claims he's in and out profiting all the way. But if he's followed his own advice, he must have lost big time. Others have. That's why I take his prophecies with a pinch of salt. Maybe this time he/they've got it right and we'll all end up very rich. After all, people can't be wrong (or right) all the time, after all I wouldn't base any investment decisions on anything Sobeit says though, because I've seen it all before, especially leading up to the catastophic falls in SP prices. I'm pretty sure our old friend on this board, Gdog, calls Sobeit 'Fullofit' or something like that. Why he might call him that, I couldn't possibly comment.

I reckon those are just late-reported trades from earlier in the day when the price was sat around 26.25 to 26.50 for quite some time yesterday morning. The sp was slightly up on the day at that point despite far more reported sells reported than buys. I reckon those were probably the buys that that were missing. I don't think these late-reported trades really effect the price for the following day. They're just the icebergs hidden under the surface which explain why the price is up (or down) at any given point, despite the seeming discepancies between buys and sells. I might have got the wrong end of the stick as well, so please don't take this as gospel.

... that last bit should have read: All IM (very pessimistic)HO of course.

I'd just like to point out that on 25th August (AGM) the actual vote for BM continuing as CEO was as follows: For - 86,002,758 (80%) Against - 21,513,948 (20.0%) Withheld - 5,108 Total Votes Cast - 107,516,706 Blinkx at that point had total voting rights of 402,774,832 according to RNS's both side of that date so, ignoring the withheld votes, that means only c.26% of the total eligible votes were cast. Those cast in favour of BM amounted to 21% of the entire voting rights, those against about 5%. At that time, RG was holding 10.03% of the total shares, amounting to 40,313,135 votes. Tosca, 13.43% which equals 54,106,562. As you can see, if either of them had voted against BM, the amount would easily exceed the actual votes cast against him. That doesn't mean that they actually voted for him though. Clearly both didn't, otherwise the amount would exceed the total number actually cast in favour. We've got no way of telling because we don't l know who cast their vote and who didn't. But clearly neither voted against, and not both of them voted for. One or the other might have voted for him, but we've no real way of telling. But that was then. What if, for example, Tosca voted in favour, say by post, but was then miffed by BM's seeming 'manoeuvring' to keep his job by only announcing the poor trading update the day before the AGM? Something like that might have pi55ed them off about his leadership style, and they now may be accumulating enough to oust him in future, if the scenario you're painting were to be true. The institutions like Barclays, Hargreaves, Halifax and TD Direct are probably just proxy holdings for shareholders like us, so I don't think they'b be part of the concert party, if indeed there is one. But I think R&M (4.92%) and Mike Lynch (4.45%) might well be. I've said before on here that IMHO this is Mike Lynch's scenario (following his Sunday Times article last year) for de-listing Blinkx and eventully re-listing them on Nasdaq when they 'suddenly' become profitable again. The company will only find it's 'true' value in the US, as Lynch suggested in his article I also think the BOD are in on it as well. I personally would like to see BM go, although I know others on here strongly disagree. I always thought the initial response of the company to Edelman was inadequate and he was responsible for that. His presentation skills are poor and he doesn't inspire confidence as far as I'm concerned. Everything since Edelman has gone from bad to worse and the late profit warning the day before the AGM was unforgivable. That and the over-generous 7 million share option awarded despite the SP being destroyed over the past 2 years. So I think he should go. But I certainly don't expect him to go. I suspect he's already got an invite to the party and won't be bothered about minor details about future share options and the sp level needed to trigger them. I reckon much sweeter pills await. All IM(very pess

PS; that and the profit warning just the day before the AGM?

I sincerely hope you're right Rusty, otherwise we (or some of us at least) are going to get shafted. Was it co-incidence that JPMorgan opened its short at around 40p, driving the price down after Griffiths' spending spree, and then Tosca bought in big time after that? JPMorgan are still sat there, despite the price dropping to as low as 15p, seemingly not bothered a jot about the potential risk of a takeover bid spiking the price well above their short level. Are they part of what Tosca are doing? Or was it just a co-incidencethat benefitted Tosca big-time?
