Nice one

Good thread, all of us in the same boat. Regardless of our entry point ( I have been in since end of March when who approval granted) yes I'm in profit but don't care what anyone says seeing a drop from £12 to £8.24 and all the other drops in between does get under your skin. Especially when you may be down on other trades and investments. The thing is the company is making money, the company has no debt, the company may get taken over, may aquire new new business, may list on another exchange all positives . The company at present is doing doing it's job is there any doubt about this? They are providing a top product and have buyers and converting into cash any negatives here? If your here for an investment can't see much going wrong. If your here for a trade yes probably better of chasing some random company on the nasdaq. But with regards to the company what's the worst that can happen to it and the investors?

GSK should buy novacyt and get into diagnostics.

Well looks like silver is being targeted now, and gold should follow along with PUR....

To take an influence from the Reddit Brigade:-
Those with paper hands have sold out.
This STONK is all that and all those with Diamond hands for this STONK will see it to the moon. YOLO

Is it just me or is the Stockmarket broken now? no concept of valuations for companies e.g Tesla , Game stop, etc...

Will we see serious investment back to GOLD?

Barrons:
How much could Bitcoin be worth to PayPal Holdings? A lot more than what is now priced into the stock.

BTIG’s Mark Palmer upgraded shares of PayPal (ticker: PYPL) to a Buy on Wednesday with a $300 target. His reasoning: PayPal could be a stealth cryptocurrency winner.

PayPal’s 361 million users can now buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrencies...

Hi can anyone confirm the current market cap?
Thanks

Don't why this one has been dragging it's feet

Before results day?

The rate of acquisitions = "ultra growth " i was referring too. Having such a substantial collection of catalogues and many more to follow plus having someone like Merck Mercuriadis at the helm who clearly has a relationship with all the artists he is signing plus the insider industry experience leads me to believe there is more than meets the eye with this one. So More than an income play for me. I can see the situation where Hipgnosis will use its power moving forward to negotiate all sorts of rights in the future...Remember it was mentioned he was looking to create his version of the screen writers guild. Throwing something far out there maybe Hipgnosis own version of Spotify or Roxi who knows... IMHO

Regardless I'm still excited by this company loads of possibilities down the line with what they do with all these acquisitions. Probably the closest thing we have here to an ultra growth Nasdesque stock.

From City Wire:

In response, Hipgnosis says it simply buys music catalogues well and at a discount to their valuation, which the independent valuer, Massarsky, then recognises. However, the analysts say they would prefer a more ‘conservative’ approach in line with private equity, infrastructure and debt funds which hold newly bought assets at cost ‘until there are verifiable reasons to suggest a change is warranted.’

Buy a bit of Bitcoin using the mode app and earn 5% interest on it. You don't have to put your life savings in!

MODE's case is that it is another leg that supports the case for Bitcoin having intrinsic Value, another key link in the chain if you will. So far in my opinion I say Bitcoins value arises from the support network of the Blockchain I.e the miners give value to the Bitcoin they have earnt by investing in the necessary infrastructure to keep the block chain going. The second leg will be the consumer side, as more people buy bitcoin as is happening they will want more ways to use it, not just store it. This is the Disruption phase that I believe is MODE's modus operandi. As said before I can see this Being a new PayPal with Bitcoin at the forefront.

I think you have to envisage MODE as the "PAYPAL" of bitcoin that would be the Investment case for me.

From the website
