Good news throughout the year yet SP down 10% over last 6 months, it's doing meeh ead in, I don't get it. It can't simply be the o/s warrants can it?

roleybirkin,
Why do you think John Mc is leaving and why now? Acts are conservative by nature, don't like changing their habitat, particularly when they don't seem to have anything to go to. And YE results are down the line, again. Why not do it in an orderly manner, say January, giving Bids time to find a replacement? Seems odd. I could understand their Sales Director making a sudden departure....

Hi,
Do big investors like it when a big chunk of shares in a company are held by one/few directors? Could this be affecting the SP?

Bottomzzzzzzzzzzz,
"Your last post" obviously being a reference to your reply to my earlier post, not a reference to your reply to Girdz's reply to your reply to my post. All clear?

Dear oh dear Bottomzzzzzzzzz,
Your last post proves you don't properly read things, or engage the grey matter, but simply aerate hot air. Please socially distance your future comments to a different BB.

Bottomzzz,
Before you aerate back a response I'm a LTH who would looove a higher SP, but facts is facts.

Bottomzzz,
Have you researched it, or just repeated what is a bland piece of PR? It's a naff "sugar" discharge put out by Bidstack to keep bland people sweet and hoping. Researched by HivedOff a while ago.. "I run a business and I recently uploaded my company logo via their website for their designers to come up with some ingame examples, one in a track game, one in hyperspace and another for FM. I hate to say it but the results were awful, computer generated, with no care or attention. They didn't fit any of the spaces properly, in some the logo was cut short, in others parts of it were duplicated to fit the space, it was very poor. I emailed and complained...never heard anything back. No follow up, no nothing. Arrogance sprang to mind. I cannot see how any potential advertisers that go through that process could be impressed. I think they would be better taking this off their site and offering a more bespoke service.
I hold a fair number of shares and as a result of this experience I considered selling them for the first time, I wish I had...but I do believe the idea is a good one, and if they can get their act together there is still hope..."

HivedOff,
A good post, first we've had on this BB for ages. Factual, logical and based on actual experience. Worrying as well. Do you know of some sort of trade "directory or catalogue" where people can see in game ads and evaluate them? Everything seems so secretive, which is an odd thing to have if one is in the advertising business. Cheers.

Thanks for your recent posts which all seem factual and objective, so much more interesting and helpful. For me YE figures are simply the accumulation of building blocs, in this case IGA campaigns completed and in the pipeline throughout the year. The lack of ad visibility and BOD secrecy gives me wind. I think the secretive Kim Jong-un of North Korea does better PR than this lot.

Presumably people in the IGA industry know rough cost of ads and likely revenue to supplier from average campaign? We know rough revenue split to Bids, so with these figures we could guesstimate how many campaigns are needed to meet YE revenue figures? Does anyone know anyone in IGA industry who could do back of fag packet analysis? Being able to sense what's in the pipeline will indicate whether H1, H2 figures are realistic? An obvious point is being able to know where the Bids are, how do you do that?

So what do you think this translates into actual revenue figures for Bids, rough guesstimates, min/max?

This is February news, what's happened since, update on what you think possible revenue might be?

Can access by going to their website, clicking on research portal, entering bidstack in search and clicking on report. It will then ask for your email to which they will send the link enabling you to open the report. Download and save to read whenever. Easy peasy for normal investors to do, gas bags will find it difficult, and certainly won't have the wherewithall to read it. :-) :-) :-)

PS: my Gfin average is 4.1, I daren't air my Bids average.

Oh dear, more cack from Bottomzzzz. You really must learn to digest what you read, I said "Now moving upwards and onwards....". Read their BB and RNSs, no hot anool air aerated there, just the sound of commercial common sense, sensibly expressed. Let's revisit Jan 2022 on comparative % change in SP.

I wish I had more invested in Gfin and less, a lot less in Bids, I wanna cry. Gfin messed up but then totally re-organised under new, great CEO. Now moving upwards and onwards....

Thanks TrueInvest,
The ad agency used was Cadreon now https://matterkind.com/ which looks a good company. Unfortunately their website doesn't detail any clients. When I Google subway/burberrys and bidstack, or look into Bids news I find it very difficult to substantiate anything of substance. As an example and no disrepect to anyone, Sir Studios is a website in Turkey with an email and 4 games and the 4 games are all the same, just with different motor vehicles. If Bids is "leading the market, groundbreaking, hiring loadsa staff, spending loadsa money" what's it doing swimming with the little fish and being so secretive? How can we access verifiable information on success to date? Periodic twitter tweets is for the birds.

Advertisers are happy to test a new medium and if it works roll out on a larger scale, so repeat advertising will prove whether Bids concept is working. Is it possible to know if anyone has repeated? Repeat customers is where the lolly is.

How might this action against Cuda affect COPL's SP going forward? I tend to worry about legal cases, usually long drawn out, distracting and costly. Does anyone know? Thanks.

I'm not IT or a gamer, got into Bids because "it seemed like a good idea at the time." Why's there a difference of opinion as to whether something is a Bids advert or embedded? Surely there must be a way to get agreement one way or the other? Thanks for any clarification, "confusedinvestor.com"
