He's obviously not going to give away anything earth shattering....however you could ask him to elaborate on the work going into making Factom Inc a successful business rather than just the Factom protcol being successful and other companies reaping the rewards.
How he sees Factom Inc placed right now, compared to his (potentially much better funded) competitors working on using the Factol protocol (or other non-Factom based solutions for similar purposes), and why.
What's going to keep them ahead of everyone else and what are the near-term goals he hopes to achieve to make Factom Inc a more valuable and profitable company in both the short and long term.

Deadline is six months from year end.
Year end was 31st March so end of September is the deadline.

Silly timing with little regard for shareholders but probably a good thing.
Stop him investing in every new thing that takes his fancy and go and make a success of the existing investments.
It's now about maximising the returns from what we have and returning some value. Don't think he has any value to add to this BoD in that regard.

Still looks like limited free float.
Ask has now ticked up to 7.8p on relatively limited buying.

Oh but it helped :p
(Pirate Pete and his box of Puntland Pornos to grease the wheels!)

I fear we may be digressing a tad.....

I think you'll agree I'm not exactly easily led and more than capable of giving as good as I get Matador ;)

However I've seen first- hand how deceptive/manipulative these sort of groups can potentially be, especially with one or more well-connected investors in the group, who get others to hang on their words via tidbits of information they've gleaned via their access (or even just Googled), which boosts their credibility to many. Range Underground Messageboard (for those of you who've been around a long time) :p

Even intelligent people can easily get swayed by these sort of groups (or social media). A bit like director promises/predictions on AIM which are total guff a lot of the time.

Anyway - enough of that - just a warning for any newbies that imo you're far better off avoiding private groups relating to shares completely ;)

I've found most private share-related groups to be either rooms deliberately designed (imo) to hoodwink people into buying some rubbish or well-intentioned groups that end up having the same-effect via-groupthink and little tolerance of differing views. Generally best avoided.

I've said this a million times before but....the can't buy thing is almost always just because your broker is rubbish.
I would highly recommend that anyone dealing in AIM shares should use someone like IG (I've virtually always been able to buy whenever someone says they can't).
In a related point, the "can't buy" situation seems to happy when there's only a small amount left at a certain price, and the IT systems of many of the brokers seem unable to take that small amount, and then start taking the next set of available shares at the next best price, and just fail to give a quote at all, even if there's plenty available just above the small amount available at the lowest price.

Well you know my answer(s) ;)
a) Feck knows
b) A buyback (which both encourages people to continue to hold, increases the chances of bigger returns for those who do hold, and supports / potentially increases the share price in the short term). Do the buy-back aggressively up to a certain price, retain enough funds to continue it below a certain threshold, along with enough working capital to avoid any need for raising more in the next few years, and only with money spare above that, consider new investments. Large dividends just mean an incentive to sell up and leave, and more investments just kick the can down the road, and may lead to people having enough of the jam tomorrow and selling.

Matador78 - I personally think they're batsh*t crazy for not taking the opportunity to buy back stock when it's actually super cheap. Rather than when they last did a buyback - damn near the highs. It doesn't look good.

chilston - it's worth remembering that the whole AIM index has lost about 15% in the past few months and nearly 30% in less than a year. That's not one stock......that's the AVERAGE. AIM always gets hits faster and harder when things are going to sh*t in the world and FFWD is clearly not immune from this just like any other stock. However money always needs a good home, and sure enough, when the money that's flowed out is looking for the big returns again, the rises can return with no need for "news" to make it rise, just like they didn't make it fall.

Always seems like lots of AIM shares have their down day on FTSE recovery days. Never really understood why.

Yes.

Definitely someone buying up these lows Snooty.
The 7.04p+ trades from just before 10am onwards all being buys (no idea about the ones before - too hard to call).
Can't say I blame them, as I only know this as I was checking the price to buy during early morning, whilst umming and ahh'ing over whether to sell some other things to increase here.

Another day of the markets sh*tting a brick. Joy.

In other (general market) news.........old small hands has decided to delay his tariffs on China (probably because people finally managed to explain to him it was a war he couldn't win)..........and the S&P500 has immediately rocketed back up nearly 2% in a couple of hours. Hopefully this is the start of him winding down his rhetoric there. Leaving just Brexit worries to be the main problem in the short term for the markets.

It's always interesting in these times of market wobbles.
I often see market makers mark shares down.....completely unrelated to the trading (i.e. even when there's no selling, even delayed trades, that justify/justified the drop on many things).
I sometimes wonder if they use it as an excuse to re-stock their trading coffers cheaply.

I would reiterate my previous post:
"Look at almost any share. You'll see the same thing. Including thousands Woodford doesn't hold. The reason......Trump has started playing silly b*ggers with China. The FTSE100 lost about 10% in a few days.

It's not always Woodford ;)
(in fact they're probably the least likely candidate as a long term investor - much more likely in these scenarios it's PIs being forced, or choosing to, sell, because they've been hammered on other positions and/or margin called, or simply Brexit dodging)"

Let's just call him Batman.
