Well Norbert kept us all waiting until the last Placing was finalised, so he owes us!

[flashheart] 30/11/2016 17:22

Yes, he is the 'finder of bargains' is he not?

[canalet3] 30/11/2016 17:20

I wonder what Norbet is up to.......

Really lighting a fire under the share-price (NOT!) is Equity Developments note! Really needs patience this one I think!

Hi doodlebug. I have two views on the likes of Leap and Moon. I don't share the enthusiasm for such things simply because like you I don't use their services/entertainment and never likely to but there are many many people the world over who do and it's a boom business. That's why I have great aspirations regarding them. Lorne Abony seemed to have great contacts to identify such targets and get in at the lowest level possible with large stakes. Frustrating and somewhat boring at the moment share price wise but very exciting for the medium and long term........just my take fwiw.

Brummy_git - let's see if this link works for the Equity research note.

[doodlebug4] 30/11/2016 10:20

Flash - thank you for the post last night. I've only recently had a chance to read it properly this morning and you're right, I don't really "get" Leap Gaming and Moon Active!:-)

Latest research out this morning from Equity development

I would have thought so Lauders. With fairly hefty stakes in some of these companies they ought to have a right to some meaningful input and guidance. Let's see if yesterday was the beginning of the revival and if the seller or sellers have cleared which I feel was holding us back as well as lack of news.

[lauders] 30/11/2016 01:01

Given you a thumbs-up flashheart even though it is mostly supposition! I certainly hope you are right however we just don't know what is happening behind the scenes and whether there is even, for example, a rift developing between the high flyers managing the company. I tend to agree with doodlebug4. We need to see decent news and improvements to the news-flow. It is very encouraging to be told that Moon Active are doing so well, however have you seen their website? It is rather, dare I say it, "childish/amateurish". Where is the guiding hand of FFWD to improve it and make it more professional? That is just one example where I think FFWD could help their investee companies. Perhaps they can't dabble to that degree? I just don't know but I am sure they could at least advise!

I think todays RNS was a 'holding' scenario to appease the likes of us dissenters on boards such as this. The 'real' RNS's will come soon enough regards disposals etc. If I could make a rather perhaps crude analogy.......This is like a premier league football team whose manager has just retired to the back room staff(Jim Mellon) and been replaced by a high flying 'Guardiola' (Lorne Abony). In doing so, some of the older existing players (Satoshipay, Diabetic Boot Company, Intensity Therapeutics) will be sold off for a good profit and replaced by a new dynamic (Leap Gaming, Yooya, Moon Active) and the proceeds used to improve the 'squad'. This needs a little time for the turnaround to gel before it's a 'title winning' formula but it will come. I think the rather scant snippets in todays RNS already illustrate the massive potential and exponential growth of Yooya, Leap Gaming and Moon Active for starters. They are not your standard mundane companies that grind out mediocre profits year on year but are involved in 'glamour' areas that maybe not all of us fully understand (myself and doodlebug who won't mind me saying)and should show stellar growth. Indeed these are the companies that have the possibility of 'unicorn' status written all over them. Until these companies are at that point where we sell our stake or list as an IPO then the share price of Fast Forward will cycle in a certain range in which I believe we are at the bottom of currently. As far as trading goes there are those that may be happy doing that and scalping bits and pieces here and there but in the world of VCT the news of that sale or of that IPO maybe a lot closer than one thinks. I think these companies have been very shrewd investments and let's face it, how many of us would ordinarily have the opportunity to have a piece of the pie at the ground level. Lorne Abony is a very shrewd and a very successful character and has done it all before .This will be no different. We are at the early stages of producing a 'monster'. ..........Build and be patient........

[doodlebug4] 29/11/2016 20:35

It's the kind of airy-fairy, jam tomorrow, blurb about Moon Active in today's RNS that I particularly dislike. We need a half-year set of results with some numbers and no more bs. Just my opinion.

[gunsofmyown] 29/11/2016 18:57

I guess we have to trust the bid db4.I have a feeling that leap gaming will be massive for us eventually as will yooya.
Today's RNS was a bit of an anticlimax but I suppose this is a marathon and not a sprint

[doodlebug4] 29/11/2016 18:27

Anyone got a clue what Moon Active is all about?

[doodlebug4] 29/11/2016 18:17

I'm trying hard to understand what news FFWD regard is important enough to warrant releasing an RNS as against just posting a brief comment on their Twitter feed.

[lauders] 29/11/2016 15:48

Thank you doodlebug4! That helps ;-)

[doodlebug4] 29/11/2016 15:46

Thank you for the heads up Trotters.

[lauders] 29/11/2016 15:41

Which news are you referring to TT? Leap?

[moormoney] 29/11/2016 15:36

I'm happy to see some news emerging! Still here holding 😇

[trotterstrading] 29/11/2016 15:33

More good news for LEAP! Looks a great investment

[doodlebug4] 29/11/2016 15:24

I agree - why pick and choose? Perhaps it's an indication that Lorne Abony has his own favourites.

[lauders] 29/11/2016 14:57

Possibly doodlebug however they ARE an investee company FACT, so hence any news should be reported in an update. Surely all news helps FFWD's cause. Why pick and choose? Still odd!

[doodlebug4] 29/11/2016 14:55

I thought it strange that Factom wasn't mentioned, perhaps due to the very small stake FFWD holds in the company.

Only three small trades so far today following that RNS - says it all really.

[lauders] 29/11/2016 14:29

Today's rise is unfortunately on VERY small volume I believe. We need the news-flow to hot-up in nature and frequency. I appreciate this is more of a long-term hold however with all the investee companies in action around the world on a daily basis finding news shouldn't be too hard. I note Factom wasn't even mentioned in the RNS today but has been providing much of the talking points around here lately! Odd IMO.
