Slider I was looking for a witty answer and found this definition on Google; "If you are in a pickle, you are in a difficult position, or have a problem to which no easy answer can be found" I think that about sums it up for us!

Those heady days not so very long ago when I used to crave either an RNS or news of whether Anna had tomato or pickle on her cheese butty each day. Now I live in constant apprehension that she may have turned carnivore.

adi Only taking the P at some some of your funny posts but no anger intended towards you. However I have to admit to being angry with the jokers running FB. Just like the company taking the P out of shareholders this BB has become reflective of the way it is being run; as a joke, with apparent contempt and never serious. Luke Hope you are right but Im not holding my breath for these guys being our saviour. They were proven wrong when continuing to back the outdated Orb, sending all those Orbs on sale or return to the US retail giants which were subsequently returned and again with their naivety in the legal battle with Fitbit. What reason could there be for them letting the company be run like this? What do they have to gain? Even if it went bust and they bought it back from the liquidator they could have chosen a much less expensive route to this market than they are currently on. J

Actually Synge what adi has contributed today in those immortal (or mortal) 10 words ("It will either be a success or a write off ") is possibly one of the most accurate statements ever to be posted on this BB. Only to be rivalled by his 21st Feb contribution; "It needs to to go back up to 0.20 for it to push higher" And your own; "Guinness book of records most expensive elastic band" (Yes, I saw it before they removed it from the Ctag board). Don't forget in the words of adi "Last time when i said some news is due and the next day that small contract was announced" So I suggest you follow my lead and call Wonga for some top up tokens PRONTO.

adi Good post, full of great research and sound reasoning. I just got off the phone to Wonga so I can have a cheeky little top up on Monday. Fingers crossed. J

5 star post Synge!

Luke 10p used to go a long way when I were a lad visiting Amble.

Slider I knew the mention of finding 10p in the street would awaken you. I think you said your average is 8p? That makes your glass roughly 98.5% empty at the current 0.137p SP. Pessimist? Or Optimist? With these clowns running it? Half Empty! But honestly, I do wish mine was only half empty! I see a missed call from you on my phone so will bell you later. J

Do you get this excited when you find a 10p piece in the street?

Good morning Knige, Harry, Acker Even since the early days of the Orb when they were pioneers of wearables Fitb has always been ahead of the game but fallen asleep, failed to capitalise and allowed others to overtake them. They identified the lack of engagement problem over 2 years ago but looks like history is about to repeat itself with the current management. Any BOD who find a £32k order RNS worthy are displaying an extreme lack of ambition! Bright and chilly in Harrogate.

Im with hp on this one "More risk than reward"

Well they have no Ctag to play with so it might be Fitb's turn again? At least January's rise was due to that misleading RNS. With no other obvious reason this time (if you are correct and it is not just Bob whispering to you), how bent is AIM that they can collectively decide to do this? You are right we have very little chance in this market other than to try to follow them but very risky when you are not in their loop. J

luke Other than being stoned and listening to Bob Dylan, is there any other reason for your sudden optimism? J

Of course you did TOFT! #anythingyousay

In line with the strategy of celebrity partnerships and endorsements; The company is pleased to announce it is in advanced discussions with Warren Beatty to act as official spokesman for future RNS’s. An existing spokesperson for the company commented; “It is obviously imperative that when you are making important announcements to the public they are both accurate and clear. We have received some criticism over the accuracy and relevance of recent RNS’s. With the addition of Warren to announce our important news we can now feel we can significantly improve on recent communications” Ends

matt I don't even think they have cut operational costs like they are pretending. Exert from RNS 13th June 2016; " Year-end pre-tax loss for the year ended 31 December 2015 of £6,303,000 (2014: £3,761,000) includes losses associated with previous unsustainable B2C strategy, investment to facilitate transformation into a B2B corporate wellness provider, and the following exceptional items: o Impairment of stock £736,000 (2014 - £48,000) o Write off of software development costs £569,000 (2014 - nil) o Legal costs £594,000 (2014 - £742,000) o Share based payment £473,000 (2014 - £67,000) o Returns Provision £216,000 (2014 - nil)" So if they are about to announce £3.2m losses as we think it means they have shaved a mere 15% from the operating costs. In other words they have done nothing from either a cost savings or revenue point of view that will have any impact on the business. They are an absolute disgrace.

Acker When the mcap = pre-placement mcap I will buy again but still think there is a bit to go yet. Also when the results are announced in April I think it will go down again, even though they already told us what is going to be announced it doesn't seem to be built in to SP at the moment. But good luck with your choice.

Following an earlier EGM round at Costa's place the board passed a motion to invest the £20 in 20 Bensons, 2 scratch cards and 2 lotto tickets for Tuesdays nights rollover. A spokesperson commented "it would be irresponsible to put all our eggs in one basket so we decided to spread our investment wisely". #boredinatlantaairport

revenue from last week's RNS has now been spent maintaining the losses (unless they are not telling us something). Fitbug needs one of these contracts every 3 days just to keep going based upon the latest information we have regarding the overhead. Looking forward to this weeks RNS; "Anna found a £20 note on the bus this morning"? Seems our best chance out of this. #clueless

Kingel It would not surprise me if 3 of those people in particular were being paid by the company or L1 for assisting in keeping the SP high and disposal of shares during the exaggerated SP. 8pm & 26deg, South Beach Miami and time for a pint I think!
