What's 888 got to do with 88E. You been on the Moonshine son :-)
Spikeyj you and Addictnt are amoung the few posters that can force me to spit out my coffee with amusement when reading your comical correspondents ....great stuff. The classic " give a guy enough rope". It's obvious by your ! authoritative and forthright reply you are well versed, chillingly so, in the administrative disciplinary sanction procedure matrices that the average poster wouldn't have a clue about or more to the point, wouldn't really give a ' rats arse' about during their pursuit to exchange skills and knowledge via the functionality of a social/ fianancial media forum. Your platitudinous replies actually bury your sorry attempt somehow be a poster virtue as we saw with your recent screaming of, false IP address, fraudulent posting, false names, life time bans, hoodwink of administrators, lieing accusations ' that in the end " we're laughed out of dodge". Your classic ramble not only accentuated your posona to comical status, but I'm glad the the LSE rightfully realised the folly and professionally " kicked all the lame allegations to the long grass". It's always good to give readers the correct context in which to form an opinion of recipients posts. Please don't spend too much time looking up the word " platitudionous" mate .....check out some of my other commentaries elsewhere there going to be interesting.
Has big hopes for IMTK but revaluating of the situation unfortunately leaves me underwhemed. IMTK as mentioned are exploring the American market, in what I regard as ' a last throw of the dice' attempt increase revenue returns but I'm still not convince that the current business model make significant inroads into the 1.4 liabilities debt mountain and it's plain to see that the markets are not convince either as the share continues to capitulate, fortunately I reduce over 30k of holding to 3.5k but in hindsight should have reduced even further, however buying CTAG and Koovs have more than made up for the losses here and on Watchstone. At one stage I had ambitions of IMTK returning 310% as well but IMO the management missed the opportunity to explore partnership deals as their secular ambitions have only exposed their shortcomings. Unless IMTK are bought out, I now Adammark suggests that ' their busted flush position' makes this unlikely, the share price seems likely to improve anytime soon. I know several posters holding substantial sums and at some point perhaps the ' penny will drop'. Still you can't know investors who have the courage of their convictions. As I've said before, those serial (non investors) trolling boards offering opnions should be tested with caution. Often it's a case of too much time on their hands and while other work or contribute in positive ways t.o commerce or perhaps the voluntary sector after having retired in an effort to ' put back into the community' some will choose to scroll different sites making comment or passing judgment because they can. AIM is a dangerous market and has the ability to relieve you of your funds very quickly but conceptualising the ofen fanciful thoughts of non investors is pointless. Some call them ' hindsight investors' ...I call them Cyber fantasist.
Your right, by reporting posters as you have boasted of doing for a range of things, that have clearly not been applauded, as you initially expected by colleagues, only explains where your coming from. I can say that I've never even filtered a poster, probably against my better jusdgment at times, but it's not my na tural pochun or default position but I have to accept the board is made up of the, good, the stupid and the ugly. In terms of the LSE, not natural associating to sychofantic disposition which others clearly enjoy, I must admit I have been very impressed with their handling of malicious, vindictive, ignorant posters posting unsubstantiated claims, they have been top draw in this respect and fortunately are now well aware of the antics of a few who try to bully or accentuate veiw points void of contrary redress. There actions against those spouting unsubstantiated stuff was top draw and indeed as one of original posters who insisted on rambling about fake IP addresses, lifetime bans and a whole heap of other nonsense, I was heartened when the small inconsequential group were dealt with and I have applauded LSE for their actions in that respect. Your right, you can't delete anyone but by constant reporting you can precipitate deletion by the administrators which amounts to the same thing. Contaray views are promoted on here and exsit to promote the diversity concepts which make communications enriching but, as in school or uni or life come to think of it, there's always one isn't there. Rest assured brother, I'm going nowhere and as I said on the other boards, as long as bullying of posters or the mob rule thing doesn't take place......things will be kool, but if posters become frightened to post or intimidated then I'll have more than a few things to say .....you can rest assured. Can't help it, I suppose I've always found myself dealing with bullies quiet successfully, perhaps it's my calling. Have a good morning sweet dreams !!!!
Royjohn, it's a shame that the threads containing some interesting stuff have been deleted. I'm afraid there's only one poster who has said with pride that he spends time deleting posts and if you've read this board recently you will know who I'm talking about. Discussing shares like CTAG and Koovs that are flying a bit crested a bit of jealousy because he didn't listen to me when I dropped the hint that they were both destined to be ' game changers'. To date my £60k investment in both companies to date has returned me approx 302%. The chilling good thing is that IMO there is a lot more to come.
Mr not invested, still looking to gather recommendations by default. You need to develop a real and interesting set of debatable opinion.
Rydilan, your a knowledgable investor reading by some of your correspondents, however after waxing lyrical about the ' break even' prediction that turned out to be about 1.4m out, you too obviously we're mesmerised bybIMTK clever phycological marketing. It also means that from a once much lorded poster with weight, you're firmly fallen off the purch. If you have extensive data around your upbeat American business claim it would be good to have it.
Royjohn, I've seen some of the other stocks your following like WRN. I think you have your problems but it always pays to take your head out of the sand !!!!!
The IMTK model does appear to be seriously floored and drinking cash. I bought into the software plaudits which were impressive and recognised as the best on the market in addition to an impressive business model which was reinforced with some impressive top grade clients that suggested the sky was the limit. Well I've had to accept that ' we have been sold a pup'. As investors piled in and RT started showing interest it seemed that maybe there was a company that was valuable, but as the cracks started to appear and the huge expense bill issue kept raising it's ugly head, it became clear that the CEO narcissistic attitude to business and a flat refusal to entertain partnership it became clear that the company was going nowhere. Quiet cleverly, the company used the QPE/ Rob Terry interest in IMTK and many investors innate dislike of his business tactics in their favour as quiet amazingly investors queued up to buy more shares in their audacious placing. The fact that the placing fell short of their target should have been another red flag but investors greed and stupidity is limitless. Adammark, the information you provide makes compelling reading and illustrates the depths that the company has actually fallen. The deprecating share price and the lack of development news continues to underwhelm tha markets but flag bearers like Rydilan and no doubt many others too embarrassed to admit that they're got it wrong, hange on by their finger nails preying for an upturn. It's not going to happen and the only hope IMTK have is if a large company came in with plans to overhaul the business. I would be keen to have your views on Rydilan claims that IMTK is making advances in America. I woukd question your claim that their software is antiquated because from what vie read it is still regarded highly in the industry. SpikeyJ as a non investor trolling the boards just looking to belong, I'm not sure what you could add to this debate.
I wonder how IMTK are getting on reducing the 1.4m debt mounting. The markets appear to be giving their verdict on a daily basis and it ain't positive.
There flying son.
One could have got in early if they hadn't suffered from shaking finger syndrome. "Fortune really does favour the brave". It's ok to have the traditional Lloyds banging around as people do. Safe and easy, but some stocks due to their volatility and undeveloped prospects are going to scare the old duffers trolling and watching. There are several on LSE that contact me, sometimes just for an opinion, because who would you rather speak to a seriel board trioller who looks and dreams or investors able to envisage future development. Answers on a postcard. Some get excited with the shells ..while other look for pearls. Some just don't get it no matter how long they look and scratch the snooker ball heads.
I wouldn't pat yourself on the back too quickly because being reticent about small cap investing is sensible but ones often ones apprehensiveness is counter productive and tantamount to missed opportunities. Investing in very early stage technology stocks often ridiculed by the foolish or tunnel vision investors have changed my life financially without a shadow of a doubt. Not all plain sailing of course but if you can record more wins than loses on an aggregate scale consistantky that's equates to success. I smile now when I bought unloved stocks like Baidu, Motion Media, Arm holding, Big Yellow to name a few, only to see them become precursors or leaders in the next generation technological world, but at embryo stage ( totally discounted). Anyone who claims to win them all is a fool or a liar or both. I've bought the ill fated QPP and DAN with dis steroids effects, but rather than lose sleep blaming directors I have to question why I didn't take profits, on two occastions about 45k. You refine your investing style based on good and bad experiences and go again of crumble. My baptism of fire was in the dot.com era where the term momentum and speculation summed up that crazy but exciting experience. Companies never having made a profit found themselves being worth more than ICI on paper but a few genuine ones like Arm holding came through the crash. The reason I get a few people contact me on tech stocks might be because if I buy a company my research is extensive and I'm willing to share. I too am buoyed by the fact that IMO by far the two stocks for me on AiM with fantastic potential are not on your watch list, that confirms our wildly different investing perspectives are real. Some would have called it fool hardy and investing to date over 70k between KOOVS and Cloudtag was chasing rainbows, well at a current 300%+ profit my early investment have so far proved right, but I accept thing could change. I'm also quiet please that a few on here decided that these stocks had potential and also bought early, two even cheaper than my buys and too are looking at excellent paper profits. Once I've secured my shares who invests or not isn't so important because usually when the market wakes up, the investors have to pay a lot more firvthevprevilage of owning.
The puzzling thing for me is you have 20 odd companies that if your escapades on WTG, NEW, IMTK, WRN are anything to go by, where you openly profess not to have investing, that could mean you surfing different sites taking in oceans of informations but too apprehensive to make the move to invest. If your frighten to lose ...you very unlikely to be able to win. I think it goes without saying that caution and diversifying by having a mixture of asset classes represents the usual spill given by financial advisors. Woodfords investing philosophy is not unique and the jury is still out as to whether he's called it right. We tend to follow investment fund managers based past performances and regularly follow blindly to sometimes devastating effects. The AIM Market loosely regulated condition means that one can just as easily lose than win, as companies may have good ideas but poor manage net infrastructures to succeed. That's why it's important to do ones own research and become ' hungrey for information' before investing because this should give you a greater chance of although not always guaranteed, of success.
I don't see eye to with Rylidan but he has integrity and would not resort to seriel trolling and reporting, and more importantly, he has the ' courage of his convictions' by ' put his money' where his mouth is. Of course you can be an observer and contribute to the odd debate here and there, but consistent interjections with no personal tie can often be agenda led. There's several of these dudes latching on to popular sites more to disconnect than enhance.
You give someone enough rope. The administrators have a difficult job made all the more harder because of posters taking up their time by crying and reporting on a too regular basis. Sometimes if they get a large number of these peoples complaint, in their haste to respond whole strings are removed creating a mockery as many good points get caught up and removed. They can quickly reverse the decision if alerted, as I did in this case. In general the system works on an algorithmic automated matrix, but admin adjudicators can override the system if they feel malicious, unjustified, insulting agendas are motives for the report requests. Recently an idiot poster ( self proclaimed Godfather) believing in his Cesar like status instructed his cult like followers to mass report on my posts because I challenged his crap. Technically that would have automatically deleted all my posts, but the admin adjudicators had been alerted and over rode the system but more importantly, sanctioned several posters and warned others for spouting unsubstantiated and provocative nonsense. I must admit I remain very impressed with the way they dealt with the orcastrated but failed attempt to illicit a ' mob rule culture'. When you have posters trolling boards, openly admitting that their not invested but willing to give you words of wisdom based on what? one has to be weary. Often when posters spend an inordinate amount of time reporting and moaning it's reasonable to think that their sentiments could be ajudged to be questionable.
Good post Rylidan. As one of the champion promoters of the share some posters look to you for an upbeat perspective so your points about continued director and institutional support for the share is what will buoyed investors. I do think your original response to Adammark post was a bit limp. By mentioning that IMTK are doing good in America without some back up information was a chance missed. Still its much better than having to ensure the spouting of serial board troller who openly declares that he has no share in the company. Who an earth what take someone like that seriously. I'm glad to see that your fighting sprit has come back.
My post and a good upbeat comment from Rydilan has just disappeared. You don't have to be Colombo to work out who the likely culprit is. The guy has a problem.
Even the IMTK champion fallen on his sword and probably heavily reduced. The vetual investors have legged it as well.
Guys listen to someone who actually followed a hunch that unfortunately went wrong. The company has been running on empty for a while. Read former founder Adammark posts. At least you guys put your money where you mouth is and don't just do the serial advise giving with no holdings. The only hope now is a ' buy out'. I have less than 4K but at one time had over 30k. It's nearly over. 15 months tops without a buyer
