Member Info for waddaweknow

Does anyone know what's involved in building one of these, the main elements? Roughly how long it should take and where Bids are at? I thought it had been built and tested, and the next step was to get people to use it. Are we still at a technical stage of building, or a sales stage of getting users?

"Wadda cabbage you are.." had to laugh at that one.
For you and mick2, my moniker "waddaweknow" uses the first person plural possessive pronoun "we" not the first person singular pronoun, "I" as in "waddaIknow." If the latter your anoooool echoes may have had some validity. As the football season has just started I shall merely say your shots were cheap and you scored a couple of own goals as a result.

RosieNas,
I agree, how much of what Ex says is factually correct I don't know, but at least his posts come across as considered and logical. Unlike many of the others here, which seem to be oozing out of some hot anool echo chamber, full of noise and smells, "signifying nothing"...... Long live sensible discussion.

Is it correct that all the initial notes have been sold, there's none o/s unless Syme issue more? So the rise over the last 5 days is down to market expectation not manipulation? Hopefully the FACTS confirm the former?

I've listened to the interview and after you filter out all the "super, amazing, awesome, sniffs and unbelievable number of you knows" there's not a lot there. However a few points; Franco says Bidstack is focused on attracting brand advertising, I'm no expert but I see digital mediums as more to do with PPC and actual sales. Is a new digital medium good for a brand's image, which you may have spent £Ms and years building up? Secondly he mentions Adverty/Frameplay/Admix as competitors, are they also just using brand ads (simply putting the name in front of eyeballs) or are they using ads which get people to do something? If I were a client would I use IGA to enhance my brand's image, a new medium which might damage my brand? Mmmm...?

Sloane and Roley,

They say history is a guide to the future. So can anyone, anyone, aaaanyooone (ramper, deramper, I don't mind), tell this board about a Drapo rabbit since Bidstack went public? Even a tiny liddle wee bunny wunny.....?

Isn't Franz Ferdinand the bloke who caused World War I, jeez is he involved with Bidstack?

Paulcon,
I agree in theory but in this relationship isn't dvrg the senior partner, who will dictate any take-over? So you have msys pushing for a higher SP but being "influenced" by dvrg on whom they're quite dependent? Anything is possible in business so who knows.

Agreed. Either he's no good in which he shouldn't have been hired or he's good and was promised the moon, but soon realises he's holding a piece of cheese. Either way it's back to the CEO. Where is Drapo anyway? A Govt money off token to Subway to the first person who sees him, in real life.

Good people get fed up working with lightweights which is why they leave, obvious. I can't see Katherine Hays putting up with a charity bloke who's been out of the gaming market for over 5 years, a COO who's biggest ambition is to have breakfast with her (I kid you not, that is Lisa HauHau's dream!) and a recluse CEO. Where is Katherine? A good person is not going to put up with a naff leader for long, why should they, it is totally illogical.

If the plan is for DVRG to buy MSYS whenever, as some claim, surely they'd want to keep msys SP low, why build it up? So msys SP not going anywhere, or am I missing out other factors?

Are we ramping or de-ramping today?
I lose track.

"If the effectiveness of a company’s communication strategy isn’t directly reflected in the company’s bottom line, it isn’t working..." This is repeated by the CEOs of many successful companies. Please Bidstack, Let It Be.

Jeez Doggie, you're like a summer fly, irritating. But I guess doggies and flies go together :-) :-)

Is coming up to retirement age and last worked at EA over 6 years ago, since which in the charity sector (always good for the public image, new directorships..). Doesn't sound like a hungry revenue getter in a "hot growing sector" to me. Franco and Drapo seem to go for CVs with nice teeth, foreign accents and a big name on it somewhere, no matter how recent. Neider's probably a nice guy but does Bids need another non producing cost?

I'm invested in both.
Gfin-originally flopped, then new CEO, new strategy. Now RNSs full of realistic positives, excellent IR, BB happy. I got in at the right time. Looks a multibagger.
Bids-originally flopped and will continue to flip flop with this CEO. Few RNSs/terrible IR, BB full of spite and hot anxl wind. SP will do the lambada between 2-6p according to how news is fed out but glory days are now a pipe dream. I got in at the wrong time, so bottom of big cupboard and praying for changed BOD.

Luckybob23,
Yes I agree, I'm hoping he gives some idea, in simple terms, of when the orders/revenue tap might be turned on. Let's see.

Napalm012,
Here are the questions I've submitted.
Question 1:
Can a customer class his deal with Syme as a true sale in accountancy terms; do any regulatory authorities hold reservations or has the Syme business model been fully adopted into IFRS?
Question 2:
Technology-is it fully up and running or still at some concept stage? How many true orders can it currently handle per week?
Question 3:
Revenue-how many prospects are there in the sales pipeline and how many do you think will convert into actual orders? When should this start approx?
Question 4:
Captive bank-are they committed to fund, if you gave them deals today would they do them? If not why not?
Let's see....

Thanks Shakydog,
I've seen the Cenkos note but they were hired to cobble whatever figures looked good to get the placing away. 3 year forecasts are suck a finger time and see which way the wind is blowing, I don't set much store by them. Proof of future pudding must be based on ingredients to date, and so far it's been post good meal wind from JD & Co. Wish I was a newbie and not a LTH.
