Well, I've just put the point across to Ewan Collinge on X.

It'll be interesting to see if or how he responds to it.

If I'm being cynical, Maybe they should put Eve to work on generating in house sales. This will kill 2 birds with the one proverbial stone.

1. It'll generate revenue for ourselves. And

2. Demonstrate how good "she" is to other potential customers.

Sounds like a win-win to me.

That said, if he does reply, I'll post it on here.

I'd asked Ewan Collinge this on X:-

As a shareholder of Cykle, I'm not sure why you've chosen this route to be fair. Your RNS did not go into why you made this decision. Can you go into a bit of detail as to your rationale behind this please. I'm curious as to what this might be.

I should have read through his posts before asking really, as he had posted this:-

The math is simple: Bitcoin has outperformed cash and bonds over every 5-year period since 2009.

MicroStrategy's Bitcoin holdings grew from $250M to $40B+ since 2020. Their stock massively outperformed the S&P 500.

As we build the future of work with AI agents, we're also thinking differently about the future of corporate treasury management.

Mystery solved to some degree. I think.

Strange the so drops after yesterday's good news, but still.

On The plus side, I've got another planned buy trade going through one day next week, so swings & roundabouts.

Multiple RNS items like yesterday's should yield a reasonable and sustained increase in sp imo

Indeed.

I was a couple of hundred quid up on this share up until today,(£80 down. Atm) and could have easily sold & used the funds and profit to buy back in and scored some free shares.

Still. Chin up.

@thewakokid.

No mate, I'm not in the industry. I'm just a geezer who's interested in aviation and how it works. Hence the Trent_900 moniker.

@theWakoKid. Good spot. And I hope you're right.

We are up 8.41% in the first minute of open.

It's bound to fluctuate of course, I'm looking forward to seeing where things settle once this news has been digested.

@PPanchol. No, there will be no knee jerk reaction from me. I've already learned that lesson. Fuse paper lit, so I'll be sitting back and watching the display.

Onwards & upwards.

Wonderful news. And it's a big fish they've caught. Plenty more to come when CYK proves it's worth.

I've pretty much swerved bitcoin, I'm very wary of it and don't particularly care to much for it.

That said, the RNS doesn't go into the rationale into why they've chosen this route. There must be safer, better bets, albeit with smaller returns if they are going to gamble with money they haven't amassed through its own efforts.

I'm sceptical of this as it stands in it's current form. But benefit of the doubt.

For now.

I know we had a good RNS yesterday, but I'm wondering why the SP has jumped another 12p per share today.

I expected a bit of a jump yesterday, which it did, but are there any theories why we've had almost another 6% on top today?

I've not had chance to go all the way through it yet, but absolutely.

That said, I consciously look for and actively opt for PFD brands whenever I'm out shopping for food. The Fuel10 granola whenever I'm in Costco as I've eluded to in previous posts here being an example. Happy with that.

Yes, a chunky dividend would be nice. Having said that I always DRIP mine when I get it.

*To see what they do with that money.

Not a Scooby mate. But judging by historic sets of results, I'd expect to see at least like for like growth in sales, Kipling doing well in the U.S. & so on.

From memory, they'd reached an agreement with the RHM Pension Scheme Trustee to suspend pension deficit contribution payments from April last year, so it'll be interesting to do with that money they've saved. Whether they've decided to increase the dividend payment or pay down debt , or invest it somewhere else remains to be seen.

I'd personally like to see debt paid down if it's a large enough chunk of money to make a significant difference to it myself, but we shall see.

This made me think how many other of our brands we have in our cupboard. 13 different ones I've got. Just shows, doesn't it.

I saw the chocolate chip one in Costco and picked one up to try it a while ago knowing it was one of our brands. Got to admit that I'm hooked on it with yogurt. At £5.99 for a 1kg bag (was £5.49.) I've got 7 bags of it atm.

A bloke who works there said they'd had 2 pallets of it delivered on Monday last week, and as at Sunday, they were half way through shifting the 2nd one already. It's doing very well there.

@Col27.

If the company proves itself to be good enough, and there's no reason to think they are not, there is no reason at all to believe it won't get a decent market share of the action.

Luck won't need to come into it IMO.
