John Henry, good morning.
As you know, I had a big holding here but reduced by 90% when I became aware VR Education had launched a similar product with the same Name ‘Educate’ - and Facebook partnered with them via the Oculus hardware.
I am concerned that at some point there may be a legal disagreement between VR Education & DEV Clever over this, but in any case, it’s confusing to the consumer.
The following week DEV announced their update and the SP dropped from 3p ish to around 2p, the market didn’t like the ‘10% of the £100M market by 2023’, the time frame suggested revenue ‘drag’.
Lastly their are 2 remaining issues, illiquidity & 1p IPO sellers.
However, the IPO sellers by now must be getting pretty low although we need a Holdings update.
The illiquidity causes rapid shifts in the SP which makes it volatile, so big red days are in turn followed by big blue ones, but it’s not a comfortable investment right now.
I do remain interested in DEV & maintain a small holding, would I increase it again? perhaps further down the line when we see some revenue figures & an update on the gamification business, we’re certainly partnering with some global majors.
