I've pencilled in an announcement tomorrow - just before the weekend so we can get some news coverage and therefore further support on Monday - all IMHO ;)

There is so much wheeling and dealing and share price manipulation going on behind the scenes these days that private investors are left to speculate what is going on. I think it's pretty safe to say that the seller at 10p wasn't one of the "smart money investors" who took part in the last placing at 15p.:-)

[rafboy] 15/3/2017 19:30

Must be from a few days ago. A trade that size as a sell would have dropped the price by a penny or two surely?

[doodlebug4] 15/3/2017 18:10

Yes, smaller parcels @12.32p or at around that price Cumbrian?

[cumbrian2] 15/3/2017 17:11

Hard to believe that is a real time deal? - surely could have sold for considerably more selling in smaller parcels?

[doodlebug4] 15/3/2017 16:55

That's one heck of a big sell just after the close tonight - 500k @10p.

Vemoed and Purdue University;

[rafboy] 15/3/2017 08:57

Lauders, it will come and only a max of 5 working days until it does I believe.

[lauders] 15/3/2017 00:49

Guess we will have to wait till today for news then ;-) LOL. Ah well it will come, just need a little more patience.

"it will be advertisers who reap rewards; with almost 90% of eSports and Let’s Play viewers also watching ad-supported casual games streams in 2021." (post 6294)

This is the key point I think in the latest Juniper Research report. Both Leap Gaming and Yooya are going to cash in on the huge monetary potential from advertising.

[rafboy] 14/3/2017 13:49

Doodlebug4, I suspect you could well be right about Schoold.

[flashheart] 14/3/2017 13:48

Good point db about not spending before you know the coffers are being replenished. Could well see an increased percentage to the recent newbie when it happens.

[doodlebug4] 14/3/2017 13:44

rafboy, if things had been going off the rails with the Schoold deal Lorne Abony surely wouldn't have invested C$3M into Vuutera. I would suspect the Schoold contract was signed and sealed before the Vuutera announcement was made.

I agree with you about the Leap IPO.

[rafboy] 14/3/2017 13:34

Well, looks like we have at most 5 more working days before we hear about Schoold. I suspect that if things were going off the rails we would have heard by now so I personally am content that things are on track. If the sale is even 2 or 3 times the price we originally paid I can see a further decent rise in the share price However, it is the Leap IPO that will really set the share price on fire I believe and that is scheduled for sometime in the next 3/4 months.

If this all pans out I expect the share price to be well above 20/25p. Now that is worth waiting for in my opinion.

A rapid rise in consumption of eSports and streamed games content will drive $3.5 billion in revenues by 2021, up from $1.8 billion in 2017.

Juniper Research’s latest report, eSports, Let’s Play & Watch Play: Competitive Tournaments & Content Streaming 2017-2021, found that whilst the subscription model, as seen on platforms such as Twitch, will contribute significant revenues to the industry, it will be advertisers who reap rewards; with almost 90% of eSports and Let’s Play viewers also watching ad-supported casual games streams in 2021.

Alongside eSports viewership, the popularity of casual Let’s Plays (commentary on streams of the playing of videogames) has accelerated dramatically.

The research found that much of this relates to viewers seeking to improve their own gameplay, alongside a dedicated following of individual broadcasters on platforms including Twitch and YouTube. It argued that companies seeking to cash-in on the trend should either work with a streamer who aligns with their values, or closely monitor content which is to be published in public.

Research author Lauren Foye explained: “As we saw following PewDiePie’s recent controversial videos, a breach of a sponsor’s values can result in the termination of lucrative partnerships. Nevertheless, a rise in PewDiePie’s channel engagement following the scandal highlights a quandary sponsors are facing.”

Whilst advertising, and increasingly tips, are dominant in the viewership of casual games streaming, eSports content has begun to be monetised through alternative means. Juniper believes that the sale of merchandise, time-limited content (such as in-game items), and access passes, will form part of a wider trend to drive the industry forwards. As we saw with DOTA 2’s 2016 ‘The International’ tournament, sales of additional content boosted the prize pool by $18 million.

Greetings doodlebug4

Yes you are probably right - presumably the MMs didnt simply lower the published offer share price after that trade for marketing reasons.
In any event I'm content!

[doodlebug4] 14/3/2017 10:06

Perhaps that 145k L trade maytrees?

[maytrees] 14/3/2017 10:00

Added a few just now but slightly concerned that the share price was at the bid 12.75p rather than offer share price - any reason for this apparent good deal?

[flashheart] 14/3/2017 08:00

And then we'll get 3 at once Lauders lol.

[lauders] 14/3/2017 06:51

Yooya has been a bit quiet lately. Perhaps something on them soon? No blog or news update from them for a while or a few of the investee companies I can access from abroad. The Vemo and Schoold sites do not work for me owing to location.

Not sure why FFWD or some of the other companies still insist on maintaining "blog" pages on their websites but hardly ever update them. Pointless to me. Just have to concentrate on the main news releases when they come. With good fortune one will be along in just under 10 minutes ;-)

[doodlebug4] 13/3/2017 20:20

The RNS didn't specify working days Roofer. Either way I think that Lorne Abony will be keen to get the sale of Schoold finalised before the end of the company's financial year, for various reasons. Personally I think there are too many companies in the FFWD portfolio right now and it must be incredibly time consuming to keep track of each one on a daily or weekly basis.

[roofer2] 13/3/2017 19:21

Lots of talk re the schoold sale across other BB, I could be wrong but I'd have thought the 75dats would have been working days making it around the 20th April.

What are other holders views?
