stt1 suggests that R1 was both badly sold by Singer and badly bought (by Trmr).
That the company is bad one and whoever buys it will be tainted.
I prefer evidence and facts to unsubstantiated claims and ad-hominem attacks, wrought on knee-jerk reactions, that bear no fruit and fail to stand up to scrutiny.
In a Court of Law stt1 would be ridiculed mercilessly and so it is on here.

stt1 is not making an awful lot of sense. (did he ever?)
He denies what the company have said.
Asserts that closing Perk proves failure.
He really needs to read the company/industry news-flow instead of just disputing it.
He can't have a proper discussion, he just twists the news-flow to suit his own agenda.
He states that Singer sold R1 to Tap on unfavourable terms.
Really? the company he bashed ad-nauseum and then it's wrongly sold?
Nothing will please the fool here yet he praises TLY to the skies, an outfit picking up crumbs from the NHS.
Stating there is great potential there and good profits to be made.
Balance of mind?

Nothing to do with poor results because of the R1 merger, and no huge miss on revenue as a consequence. Some regulatory headwinds affecting the performance division - as predicted many weeks ago by Tremor and stt1 still proclaiming from the roof-tops that he alone is in charge of predictions. Here we go again - the messiah syndrome writ large.
Read all company/industry newsflow...
Don't mix fact with fiction...
A company with huge growth potential...
Now present and growing ...
Cash in bank....

8,525,323 new shares to begin trading tomorrow 8 a.m.
Strong balance sheet, 22,696,078 shares held in treasury after the buyback(s) and a very promising tie-up with News Corp. At least until stt1 decides it is another disaster.

The same old hash of droppings will soon return with the patter of tiny rodent feet.
I see Greggs have given a bonus to staff but warned of '"headwinds" in the year ahead from national living wage increases and the rising cost of pork...

Is stt1 on the bottle?
None of his misinterpretation of reality and confusing of fact with fiction would make any other sense. Accusing people of having said things they never said and then arguing against them on that basis and wildly lashing out with statements that bear no witness to logic or deductive reasoning is a derangement commonly induced by such means.
Poor fellow!

Yes! bald_eagle £5 shortly after results is definitely a pipe-dream, TRMR are being cautious and not over-egging the pudding.
Bottom-line profits may be slightly below, as indicated by themselves, but as long as that is the case and good progress is being shown elsewhere then the prospects are not likely to be a cause for alarm.
According to psychologists most people would rather have £5 now than £10 in 5 years time.
I would much prefer the latter, as a long-term investor.

All viable companies must surely have a 'bread and butter' core business that keeps them afloat, during and despite challenges and changes in direction on other levels.
We should not focus too much on deranged doom-mongers hoping to mislead with suggestions of disaster ahead, but of course always keep looking for fresh opportunities whilst accumulating profits made by tried and trusted methods.
Tremor is still making good profits and I don't understand why they have to be measured solely by obscure candlesticks or demented doom merchants.
Nothing wrong with charts but at the end of the day I only trust bottom-line profits.
Doom merchants can take a powder!

Little stt1 has realised at long last that some companies operate a different model.
That some companies are not worth what they once were.
How refreshing to hear his epiphany moment.
Why does he not extend his reasoning (such that it is) to anything and everything that suits his purpose?
Oh, Sorry!, actually he seems to be doing just that, flailing around looking for clues and sinking into oblivion.
Poor fellow!

If you were ever genuine we might listen to you stt1 but endless cascades and relentless torrents of negativity are certainly not the hallmark of a balanced point of view.

A very Happy New Year to each and every holder hoping for better things to come!

stt1 is still blowing off his usual negative diatribe on the other Board - AS EXPECTED!
No shame, no honesty, just the usual repetitive drivel!
Mindless and useless- AS EXPECTED!

Merry Christmas to all posters
Well, those who don't see the board as an excuse to air all manner of negative thoughts repetetively 'ad nauseum'.
:)

share price nudging up regardless of any opinions on here.
Institutions hold the main cards and will play as they see fit.
I am looking forward to the next update and if Uber's case is thrown out that would be quite helpful.

It is unlikely that any one individual would mount a campaign like this over such a long period of time without a backer,
unless of course they are 'unhinged' for some other reason or just enjoy the oxygen of publicity as a junior reporter on a mission.
He gets up we knock him down again, seems like he enjoys the fight but doesn't know when he is beaten.

Of course stt1 has no effect on the sp.
It is more the case that he has no idea about what is happening and just annoys people with inaccurate analysis.
Facts and evidence are what matter and stt1 has little to offer, if anything and just tries to spread doom and gloom.

Unfortunately stt1 throws so much mud around in general that a lot more heat than light is generated.
stt1 is typically ranging all over the place, with some poorly reasoned and wild suggestions that often don't adhere to factual and objective reporting, following a negative agenda of his own.
Trmr were producing fairly strong results, with a good balance sheet, but the acquisition of R1 was suggested to have been disastrous by stt1 before the dust had even settled.
stt1 suggested that Trmr failed to perform due diligence and will suffer greatly as a consequence.
With the long and difficult history behind R1 you would think that if Trmr still thought there was some value to be had by acquiring the company, without examining R1's accounts in great detail and that the loss of Perk's customer base was not particularly relevant, given the shift in business operations, then to use these factors as critical, as stt1 opines, is likewise not factual or objective.
stt1 is wise with hindsight, if one of his negative suggestions ever proves him right indirectly, but a lot that he pulls out of the hat as a 'fait accompli' is personal imagining and mental wandering.

Let's give Trmr a chance before declaring it a dog, but if you don't like it then you can cut your losses!
What is stt1's purpose or point in continually ****ging off. first Blinkx/R1 and now Trmr?
If he hates it so then he should just give over and disappear.

from stt1:

'Trmr decided to close down perk.com and have lost millions of Premium Dedicated users, didn't they?.
So from end of this month, post fy2019 results, they will lose revenue and cash from perk.com, as well as all the other (several?) rthm operations only a few months ago.'

To be perfectly honest we have been through all this before, stt1.
A review by Tremor probably found that the audience were just playing the system and there was not really any big money to be made from pursuing Perk' operation (under R1) with its so-called loyalty rewards' program.
If the sums do not add up you either give less rewards and the target audience drops way when they decide it is not worth while or you decide to ditch the whole gambit.
It likely cost more money to run Perk than it was worth and therefore with the change in direction by Tremor, it is not feasible.
As for Facebook, Google and Amazon having a strong Premium user base, that is another business matter entirely.
What do you not understand?

Misinformation from stt1 - AS EXPECTED!

Once again, there is a window here in which publishers can rebuild consumer and advertiser trust. Advertisers are aligned on this as they begin to see their pursuit of truly one-to-one advertising across the wider web as economically and legally challenging. GDPR will create opportunity for audience selection based on cohorts and context which is a significant risk to Google and Facebook.
GDPR moves advertisers away from their current buying habits supported by the myth they can simply harvest demand through microtargeting personal data. Creating new demand through context and true relevance is the sweet spot of trust and true publishers.
And where there is significant risk to Facebook and Google and opportunity elsewhere for growing consumer trust, smaller ad-tech companies will come out ahead.
To suggest that GDPR ammendments had to be made which hurt Tremor is misleading - AS EXPECTED!

With the CCPA, the United States is playing catch up to the GDPR , however, the CCPA Act only targets larger companies or those with prolific data use, so there is still a long way to go to being general protection.
And do not forget that GDPR applies to all companies and organisations and certainly not just advertising.
Neither Act prevents advertising as long as permissions are sought, if relevant, and if other infringements don't occur then compliant adtech companies will be able to do good business.
Let's not automatically assume Tremor will be adversely affected and has no safeguards already in place or that business will suffer massively.
Plus all business and all organisations are in the same boat and only those who are careless with data or abuse the rights of the individual will risk being cautioned/fined.
