Now who’s not doing their research, I’ve had my account since 2014, and I haven’t beaten any stock up, I’ve asked reasonable questions of a stock I own.

So many people are unwilling or unable to engage in reasonable debate these days, it’s a great shame and probably why many PIs lose money on the markets. Once invested in a stock you are putting blinkers on and refusing to accept anything other than a pot of gold.

Filtered for being thick and disruptive. I take it as a positive the more new sock puppet accounts that show up.

[true8lue] 07/6/2020 10:15

Now now Luke.. you know that’s not what I meant.. I said it’s conceivable that 32 million downloads could be achieved outside of the US. But as the US was our stated largest market I would have expected it to make up more than half of our downloads.

And before you get upset, I know how maths works, and that you can be a largest share without having greater than 50% of the whole. Which is why I’ve stated it’s conceivable, but a little suspicious to my mind.

[lukehold] 07/6/2020 10:14

One of those investors who create a new account and bash a single stock you mean?

[true8lue] 07/6/2020 10:12

As was mine, I’m just one of those investors that picks apart many things and looks for reasonable debate on my findings.

[lukehold] 07/6/2020 10:10

“suppose it’s conceivable that we could get 32 million extra monthly downloads from the other territories combined”

I’m so glad you suppose it’s conceivable that there are people outside of the us who listen to English speaking podcasts. What a relief.

[lukehold] 07/6/2020 10:07

My investment was based on the facts and figures in the RNS not some woolly marketing strapline

[true8lue] 07/6/2020 10:06

Sorry have I broken a rule, can I not ask questions on a public forum.. jog on Luke

[lukehold] 07/6/2020 10:05

I suggest you look up those things if you have a question, and if you still think they are not true email investor relations to clarify.

[true8lue] 07/6/2020 09:56

I don’t know Luke maybe their isn’t one, so does your singular statistic make us the global leader?

I imagine somebody like acast or buzzsprout might be close though.. I really don’t know to be honest. :)

[true8lue] 07/6/2020 09:49

Thanks for the other replies by the way, yes I suppose it’s conceivable that we could get 32 million extra monthly downloads from the other territories combined I’m just a little suspicious of those numbers.

For clarification of my position I hold only £3000 in BOOM at an average of just over 2 pounds. I do think it will go up, which is why I hold shares (that bit was obvious right). I’m just slightly concerned on some of the numbers. Will Candy make a profit over time... definitely! Will the rest of us, I bloody hope so but am not so sure.

It feels like we need to be bought out, we’ve not publicly stated that and why the hell would we, it just feels that way. There is a lot of consolidation going on in this space, and if we don’t get bought it’s game over at some point as we will just not be able to compete with the consolidated landscape.

My honest opinion, we’ll get bought out but not at the levels some are predicting because we stuck the for sale sign up.

Let's tackle one by one, Can you show me a podcast platform hosting more than 12,000 content channels please...

[true8lue] 07/6/2020 09:33

I’m not misleading anybody , I’m looking for a debate on the numbers, some sensible answers, however yours isn’t one of them.

I clarified my position on the reference to downloads, I thought it was obvious the first time around to be honest as there’d just been several posts referring to 7 million monthly downloads on the triton report.

And also please find below taken from our Q1 RNS This is a direct copy and paste... apology accepted :)
Audioboom (AIM: BOOM), the leading global podcast company, is pleased to provide an update on trading for the quarter ended 31 March 2020.


Happy to have a discussion around it and thought this was the place to do it, don’t take your ball home wooty because we’ll keep playing without you, I have another.

[sir_dominic] 07/6/2020 09:24

And finally Luke from the LinkedIn profile of our CEO: “I’m CEO of the biggest independent podcast company in the world....”

[sir_dominic] 07/6/2020 09:18

Luke: company statement from 20.01.20: “Audioboom (AIM: BOOM), the leading global podcast company, is pleased to provide an unaudited trading update for the 12 months ended 31 December 2019.“

Never seen that Dommy. Could you send me the link.

[jasperthemonkeygod] 07/6/2020 08:31

Friendly bunch, aren't they

What's in your 90-95% pot, bra?

[sir_dominic] 07/6/2020 08:22

Whoopy007 this is from Adioboom Investor Relations page, very top: “ Audioboom is the leading spoken‐word audio platform for hosting, distributing and monetising content“ . Yes we know the difference...

[wooty01] 07/6/2020 08:04

I'm not sure why I'm wasting my time but when I see such misleading statements they have to be corrected. Trueblue misleads on analysis of figures which he has now admitted. How about his language. The wording in every Audioboom RNS is :Audioboom is a global leader in podcasting – producing, distributing and monetising premium audio content to millions of listeners around the world. Audioboom operates internationally, with operations and global partnerships across North America, Europe, Asia and Australia.Trueblue says " the global leader". Audioboom state " a global leader". I'm sure we know the difference.

[rachelrileysbra] 07/6/2020 00:04

Dom,

6th in the total tally chart and 29th on podcast chart. The lower the 2nd number the better. It shows breadth.
If the majority of listens came from 1 podcast that would be a concern.

All,

Let's not forget that BOOM have ad inserts in none AON podcasts too.

Do I have any doubts currently?
Yes.
Would I have more than 5-10% of my portfolio on this? Absolutely no way.

Why did BOOM chose triton (or was it the other way around?).
Wasn't there a lot of bitterness about 2 years ago?
Where was the cash coming from for the RTO?

Anyway, take it easy.
GLA.
Hope it all works out.

[true8lue] 06/6/2020 23:36

Sorry you're quite right but I can assure you my intention isn't to confuse in fact the precise opposite.

The 7 million per week is referring to downloads in the US as verified by the triton report, and the 60 million per month is referring to downloads on our Q1 RNS. My question was that if the US are our stated largest market, is it fair to say that we get 32 million downloads per month outside of that territory?

My second point was merely a question of the global leader statement we put onto each of our press releases.. clearly we're not the global leader, so why put it.

[bbluesky] 06/6/2020 18:54

Cross referencing with Statista.com - so not signed up with Triton.
1.iHeart 22
2.NPR 21
3.NYT 9.5
4.PRX7.5
5.Wondery 7.5
6.Barstool Sports 5.3
7.WNYC 4.7
8.NBC 4.6

BOOM is above NBC on Triton, so certainly at least in the Top ten and looks like the Premiership Liv and Man City 1 & 2 then...so, BOOM is very attractive if you want to play in this league. A short cut to having a realistic bite at the glory.
