Director buying

Mr Cole Sep 2016. "We are no longer burning through cash "

Smithie6 sold his shares two years ago but still posts with the determination and vigor of a desperate short seller. He constantly looks at the past performance of 7Dig while and the same time dismisses ANY and ALL of the bullish arguments. Why would an individual spend 4 hours a week of his time on this BB thread running it down yet proport to be with the workers.That same poster can be found posting all over ADVFN with his same negative views.

Thanks petlover, great summary.
I'll continue my research 🙂

If 7Dig deliver in 2017 then the shares today are ridiculously cheap. If they don't the shares will drop back but might be saved by a takeover.The chances of them going bust are slim due to ongoing recurring revenues.

Smithie6 firmly believes they will require extra funding and that they will not deliver profits this year.His assumptions are based on the companies history of non performance.He could be correct but I put rather more weight on the following.

Director buying.
Broker forecasting a profit.
The jump in gross margins
New contracts with the huge record labels.
Hiring staff
Investment phase over.
Massive jump in music streams.
Milton Fund buying shares
Cost cutting
Benefits of Snowite intergration
Fast growing market sector
MQA new listening platform that 7dig is licensing
Operating in a market with very few other players in the world.

Hi pet lover,
I've just started looking into this one. How do you view the risk/reward as compared to PVG?
Riskier but potentially more profit sooner?

Thanks

2017 is going to be a big year for streaming. Spotify will likely IPO, paid subscribers will pass the 100 million mark in Q1, playlists will boom. 2017 will build upon an upbeat 2016 in which the major labels saw streaming drive total revenue growth. This stirred the interest of big financial institutions, companies that had previously avoided the music industry like the plague. These institutions are now seriously assessing whether the market is finally ready to pay attention to. The implication of all of this is that if Spotify’s IPO is successful, expect a flow of investment into a new wave of streaming services. But if these new services are to have any chance of success they will need to rewrite the rules by putting context and experience at the centre of everything they do.


The distinct advantage that the next generation of streaming services will have is that they will sit on the shoulders of the streaming incumbents’ innovation. Instead of having to learn how to fix stream buffering, drive compelling curation, make streaming on mobile work and define rights holder licenses for freemium, they can take the current state of play as the starting point. They are starting the race half way through and with completely fresh legs. They come into the market without the same tech priorities of the incumbents and also without any of their institutional baggage (baggage that, whether they like it or not, shapes world views and competitive vision).

Musical.ly is free to join and free to use.

I rest my case m'ld. ;-)

[smithie6] 29/12/2016 12:05

Streams for musical.ly

I repeat....they are for free...

Old news...

The jump in streams reported months ago (interims ?)....& that has not increased revenue.

& 14 yr olds dont have cards to buy stuff

[smithie6] 29/12/2016 12:02

"Musical.ly has agreements with all the music labels"

& music files are now stored in the cloud (phps Amazor Msoft)...& streamed by that hosting co.

Ok.

So, musical.ly has no need at all to use 7DIG, dont need 'em ?!

What does 7DIG provide or bring to the party ?

[pet lover] 28/12/2016 16:07

Hofmann added, by email, that musical.ly has "formal relationships with all of the major record labels and music publishers," including Sony, Interscope Records, which is part of the Universal Group, and 300, which is distributed by Atlantic Records.


7 dig has done a wonderful job getting all that in place.

Silicon Valley rather impressed.

[pet lover] 28/12/2016 15:59

Approximately 50 million people under the age of 21—or roughly half of the teens and preteens in America—are on musical.ly.

[loobrush] 28/12/2016 15:45

Keep it up Petlover you're doing a good job of finding info,very interesting it is too.

[pet lover] 28/12/2016 14:56

Musical.ly is at no 11th position in the App Store.

Simon1955.

Sold two weeks ago.

First posts here today.

Just like Smithie6 all posts by yourself on other companies, negative.

Going to have to try a bit better than that I am afraid.

Agenda comes to mind.

[pet lover] 28/12/2016 13:45

First half results.

During the first half we delivered 206m music streams to over 12.6m people, which by year to date had increased to 600m streams delivered to more than 15m people. This compares to 72.6m streams delivered to approximately 3m people for the whole of 2015, illustrating the rapid growth in reach and usage of our platform.


Streams are now running at over 150M per month.

2015 saw just 72.6 in total for the year.

The reason one should not take to much notice of past revenues.

If you read the full and half year accounts, under Notes, 7Dig pick up revenues from these streams as they grow. These amounts are not huge for each stream, fractions of penny, but they add up.

Petlover
before you suggest it....I am not simon1955

------

I think musical.ly is having success.....but !!
7DIG is imo not getting paid or only a tiny amount....since it is just helping to provide 15 second clips of music...and music owners provide samples for free since they want to promote their music...
