Nice twitter page......I tend to look also at longer term view on charts....obvious repeated seasonal patterns to back up volume and price...... Also good to see regulars still posting about and on Globo.... GL

Missed absolutely".....

Spikeyj....good post Tricky there is absolute infallible way to invest.....and part of the enjoyment is the adventure and seeing things mature overtime with aspread of risk and that has been very profitable for some very well known investors.... For others it is trading and spending hugh amounts of valuable time to make a small profit over and over again... The truth if you ask any one working in a spread betting company is that 80% make bugger all....lol So for some they have to compensate and feather their ego's by posting one line nonsense and stating the obvious in many cases...... TA does work in my experience but for investors in determining entry points from Distribution/Accumulation and consolidation cycles.....but spending minute by minute watching a screen and many thinking that they have some holy grail understanding smacks of a gamblers obsession......A very small number know what they are looking at but the truth is the great majority do not IMO and that is born out in statistics..... So Spikey is right, each to their own and enjoy the adventure which is a journey rather than watching a ever changing figure on a screen minute by minute, day by day etc...making the same posts and hoping that someone else will stroke you fantasy of being a 'supa dupa' trader.... GL.......It is always facinating to see the next installlment in the GBO story as it continues to unfold...

Nope :) I am not following hour by hour or sometimes day by day...to busy As I said bought in before end of trend/distribution for that reason. The rhythm method.......lol Intreged about the next steps for the business though..... GL

'Suffering'....self indulgent.....nothing wrong with an entry point and a two bob bet....but you are not fooling anyone..lol Gl

"ILV’s solution, incorporating Globo’s GO!Enterprise platform, has already been selected by a major International Bank to enable its more than 2 million small business and professionals customers. Official commercial launch is planned for Q1 2016 after the expected success of a pilot scheduled for Q4 2015." Business carries on......Opportunities for these products keep coming through in what is a very large market place.. The risk is there but so are the rewards.... GN.....

This is the strangest share...be aware of the AOR effect Gla

Telrik is an interesting fit.......different customers and possible synergies with sourcebits.. This market should offer up a few good opportunities....and the network built up in Palo Alto would help i guess.

I remember that....2013 was'nt it..lol

Shorts have been there for years now......The markets generally are rocky. Your head is not on the block unless you buy......or short......lol

Worth a nibble....... Costis is planning and has always been focused on growing his business into something special... His judgement has a long track record of being right.....The next step is very much on scaling up as the logistics, people, geographic spread etc are in place......Time will tell. GL.... Good to see someone else buying at the same time....

You old cynic......lol

Well,i did..........ha,ha.... Yes, risks are there, but it is quite obvious an aquisition is lined up to dove tail in. The previous one should by now start to be feeding through into sales and cashflow although this will be running behind the cycle.... I bought in before a confirmed change of trend but hey ho!......you only live once... GLA

Hi, I am not invested in any AIM shares at the moment, but still following GBO with a view to a possibly buying in again. GL

Hi Ash, You have a valid point this business is now a very different one from the one two or three years ago. It has an International Distribution network, It has a strong and established team of R&D and developers that can support the product and customers aswell as continue to develope and build for the future. It has a good base in the US with a local team overcoming cultural and business differences that sometimes hinder. The business has now has a good potential to attract funds and support through markets in the US. They are developing a good Blue chip base.... This is a good growing business with focus.....with a strong product offering... By any measure these are all valuable assets not always measured in financial terms and sometimes measured as intangibles. The business is targeting a very large and growing demand worldwide for solutions that increase employee communication and contribution in businesses (enterprise2/3, AGILE etc). The solutions that GBO offer fall into this long term trend IMO....a good counter example is the upgrades of the MIcrosoft Windows platform that offers more opportunities and illustrates how companies are adapting and will embrace these changes. GLA.....as always an opinion....

Hi Tricky, Whilst I agree that shorters surpress natural demand and therefore create an unbalanced market which should not be allowed, I have to defend Jolly's post and his comment 'let's See'.. After all the years now, 'Let's see' has always been a valid comment and largely depends on your point on view as to it's meaning. IMO there has never been a doubt that Costis and the management are very different both in the levels of Integrity and strategic/business ability....there is no comparison between the executive/board managements of QPP, MOS etc and that of GBO.... And a detailed background search will reveal this. GBO has developed products that sell and work, if you remember this was one of the 'let's See' comments three years ago, There will always be a 'Let's see' perspective and GBO and the management have always delivered the 'There you see it'.......and that will always be the case where companies produce and develope, distribute and growth through their own endevours..... GBO will always be a higher than average risk that goes with the market and business that GBO is in and how it has developed....from a small player grabbing a share of a very large changing market. Jolly is right there are liquidity risks, the real 'let's see' is can GBO keep expanding it's cash generative side and add to it through acquistion....It is not without risk but if you wanted somebody to lead a business strategically to accomplish this aim then IMO there are few better than Costis who has shown consistantly over the year's that he delivers. IMO i have seen very few that cn match.....either on Integrity and skill.... So 'let's see'.........GLA

Anyother business doing this is cross selling into a new customer base. That is the advantage or synergy created when a business takes over another where the client base is different from your existing one. These are blue chip clients and one of the ways of increasing the overall impact of any take over. It is not just the products or services but the expertise and new established customer base, and Costis has always highlighted that as one of the factors taken into account in all the takeovers. Good luck guys and fruits and strategy are playing out...well done...

Topped up.....just to clarify, not me....

"The loan bears interest at 13 percent"........sweet return since 2007/2009....topped up in the interim... Get your money back and still keep an option.... Where are all the old posts....... GL.....hope the software update can finance the interest and a profit for shareholders aswell....

Simple question, it is not about accounts that is a retrospective snapshot......It can give you an insight but never the true reasons....often misread and interpreted from the perspective of the individual.....eg an accountant, a salesman, an investor, a gambler etc.... Because accounts are a snapshot and often compiled to best present a position at a year end, IMO never read accounts without looking at trends and motivation and context..... Context is market, legislation, global trends, management, competition etc Businesses die usually because they do not adapt or evolve through having a CIP and a strong strategic management. In this case the market and product are out of step with current trends, which have been evolving over the last 2-3 years.....clearly evident in the increase in online shopping and advertising and the effect on reduced footfall and i am guessing the mix of shoppers.....possible legislation in Germany and the low profitability of the UK business... But the management have not evolved a credible strategy early enough is quite clear. The management have also one very concerning shortcoming IMO....Control, coordination ...this was clearly evident in the prior figures where the announced an adjustment to the accounts of £1m +......over a very short timescale....that was the clear signal that something fundamental was wrong.....together with the directors sells during the year. They clearly do not have day to day control or knowledge of how their business is performing, without that how can they drive a clear strategy, control costs, expand sales, without knowing your margins.....IMO this exhibits signs of a weak rudderless management and worse a business with very fragile internal processes....and a direct threat to there survival in the future unless they change..... Business die if they do not evolve continuously, innovate..... And that means management.....and the management remains largely the same..... Usually management buys are a good sign, but only if it is not the 'Blind Faith' sort that i fear this maybe.... Well, having said that i hope i am proved completely wrong and this is a turnaround situation.....but i will not be holding my breath unless the management changes and they innovate and present a coherent internal and external strategy and open up new markets and opportunities....otherwise they will run out of cash and time.....
