purely from a bullion storage and trading aspect, bullion vault is the benchmark you should compare against when thinking about what is currently being achieved by the world leader in the online field..
They had, as the last accounts 69,341 users and made a pre tax profit of �3.14m, down from �5.79m the previous year. This equates to about �45 per user, of pre-tax profit.
Goldblocs other aspect, that being the transaction fees for buying/selling using a debit card, is going to be going up against the current, no transaction fees for fiat backed cards and as such, the additiional cost of storing gold and transacting may make it unappealing to a lot. Either way, any transaction fees may increase the �45 per user, pretax profit level achieved by bullion vault.
20000 users would mean achieving 33% of bullion vaults current user base, which has taken ten years to build. Cameron wants to do this amount in one year - optimistic.
even so, 20k users at �45 is �900k pre tax profit.
Lion only have a 28.3% interest in finland and would only benefit from a divi in the future, as all proceeds of the bulk sampling will be ploughed back into the venture.
