I cannot for the life of figure out why anyone would sell a small amount of shares at this low price and receive tiny proceeds. Why did they buy int he first place? For such a small amount of proceeds, why not just hold on just in case... Everyone knows we are waiting to hear how the company will progress to the next stage and for details of the DFS. Beats me.....

But what to you hope to achieve Scorpionwinger? Short of running the company ourselves we surely cannot do much as mere shareholders? We could call an EGM with enough votes couldn't we? But then what? The BOD cannot give us non-public information. Could we do a better job than BM and his board (it is not just him calling the shots)? Do we call for their resignations and hope we can find better people? Who will pick all the knowledge and skills they have in the click of a finger? It is easy to get upset and hot under the collar but not very clever when we don't know the whole story. All we want is a better share price and we want it NOW. We look at it multiple times every day. But the BOD's job is give the shareholders return on their investment through a rising share price OVER TIME. To get the company where it needs to be they need to ignore the share price short term or risk being distracted. I know that can only be done within reason and if it gets too low there are risks associated with that. But honestly what can the BOD do to alter the share price today? Not much. They need to focus on the company and deliver results in due course. The share price will follow that. Short term does it matter? If it were 30p would you sell? If it were 40p would you sell? Just asking!

Thanks Becky. I had not realised that he was part of development team but I guessed he might have some such angle. Thanks for reassurance on quality of Tor. A bit lame to make this "moving" and passionate speech when it seems in fact to really only be a plug for his wares?

...speaks on opendemocarcy (do Blinks still run that?) Essentially he is saying our states are failing us with their reaction to terrorism but reacting through CONTROL. They think they are ensuring our FREEDOM but imposing censorship everywhere and watching everyone's every move. everywhere all the time. FREEDOM without PRIVACY? Jacob does not think this is freedom! One of his answers... use Tor Browser. This allows you to browse the web anonymously leaving no data trail. Anyone heard of that? Would such a move KILL on-line advertising Blinkx style as we know it?

Oh dear! This will come alive again soon... Everything in place for a sweet turnaround.

Everything gone dead here? Where is everyone? Everyone lost interest?

Yesterday (?) they commented on RG's sale of Blinkx. They noted that they had been confused as to why he made the investment back when he did. The comment from RG at the time was that he saw little down side given the cash in bank. Now they comment that given the on-going trading losses and cash burn, they wonder whether RG does not feel so comfortable about downside and that is why he is selling out. No mention of conspiracy with Tosca. They felt that the company did not deserve much higher valuation that value of cash in bank. Well, that is their view... and the markets I guess!

Let us assume that they DO have to make an mandatory offer. Then the question is are the BOD required to accept the offer? It does not say they are mandatorily required to PURCHASE the company at the highest price of last year's purchases. Only that they have to make an OFFER. Someone out there must know the rules on this PLEASE. Put us out of our misery. It seems completely unfair on all other shareholders if one minority shareholder can force everyone else to sell against their will and at a ridiculous low price just because they have 30% of the company? OK it they had more than 50% I can see that they might have power to force a purchase through but even then not certain? PLEASE SOMEONE WITH DEFINITE KNOWLEDGE LET US KNOW...!!

just gone through - over 4M shares...

"not hopeful for 2016" Great. Thank you Motley. Blinkx Last year, internet advertising firm Blinkx (LSE: BLNX) made a loss of $20.8m on sales of $215m. During the first half of the current year, Blinkx expects to lose $7m on sales of $90m. A return to profit is expected next year, but even the company’s own broker only expects earnings of around 2 cents per share, which puts Blinkx stock on a forecast P/E of around 20. Of course, one point in Blinkx’s favour is that it still has plenty of cash. At the end of September, cash and cash equivalents totalled $82m. This also helps to support the valuation for Blinkx shares. Almost half of the company’s share price is covered by net cash. My concern is that this cash may not benefit shareholders. Blinkx doesn’t pay a dividend and is likely to continue to spend its cash until it either runs out, or manages to turn a profit. The rise of ad blockers and other such software seems likely to make it harder for Blinkx to make money. I’m not hopeful of big gains in 2016.

Shroder, any chance you could explain who AppNexus are and what they do? Are they direct competitors of 1R or do they offer a facility that we use? Any assistance on this would be greatly received...

We are 1 week from interim results 1H 2016 and trading update for progress so far in 2H 2016. There must be some leak of how things are going? Very hard to keep 100% secret? Or maybe not. Anyway, the share price seems to be doing nothing but softening as we approach the date. Either no-one knows a thing or some people do and the price is drifting off as results are going to be lacklustre... I hope the latter. We MSUT see some growth in numbers by now. Fingers and toes crossed....

Criteo up 7.4% Rocket Fuel up 4.8% Blinkx down 3.8%

Criteo SA (ADR) Crumbles Despite Another Solid Quarter:- "Another bottom-line miss and light guidance from the performance marketing specialist left the market spooked." But their turnover has surpassed €1billion. Wow. And they are investing like crazy to grab market share. They are definitely going to benefit from being ahead of the game at this early stage. Hopefully they will leave some crumbs for us. Where is Edelman when you need him...? He needs to rip Criteo apart and spill some of their dirt? Surely there is a lot there???

Unless of course there are plenty of sellers willing to sell their shares at these levels. Which obviously there are! You never know, market makers may be sitting on a ton of shares (perhaps from ii exit) and slowly eeking them out to whoever is willing to buy - principally Tosca. So until this overhang is exhausted the price is stuck?

and we are expecting good news and yet daily the price seems to drift away. Why are people frigging selling? There is never smoke without fire. Who knows what? I fear news on results will be at best FLAT and the share price will drift faster... Hope I am wrong.

People complaining about pop up ads in the reviews saying how they ruin the experience. WTF? For goodness sake this website is owned by Blinkx. Surely they can get the advertising on the site right so that it is professional and slick and not too intrusive? I totally despair... COME ON BLINKX!!!!!

"Using long-tail recipe sites, a major CPG brand – a client of RhythmOne - was able to achieve a 4.1% engagement rate on their campaign." This type of thing is what the future is all about. Just question of whether 1R can get enough of this type of business and scale quick enough to start making money and keep up with the competition... Happy Halloween!
