is crowd funding going to make a lot of money?

[sirraman] 04/3/2014 11:29

well done dlku.... but why should Artemis sell at these levels when this is just about to take leap into Crowdfunding ??

The size of sells seem to be traders and profit takers who bought in earlier ..imo

Artemis starting to sell their 10% holding?

[dlku] 04/3/2014 09:21

£4m cap

£4m of hot air

scalped a small profit today tho

[sirraman] 04/3/2014 08:59

could be right.. he has good credentials.... tightly held and few in free float...hence difficult to buy.

The recent placing approx 24% has gone to group of investors led by Derek ....so can't see them selling too soon..at least not until the Crowdfunding platform is launched? So could be back upto previous high of 20p before launch ..imo.

Agree with Derek Stewart on board this is a one way ticket to 20p+ imhho.

[nw99] 04/3/2014 08:45

GLIF a bargain in this case

[brasher2] 04/3/2014 08:40

Can only buy in small chunks at a reasonable price

[ihavenoclue] 04/3/2014 08:26

Still flying ...

[sirraman] 04/3/2014 08:14

looks like we may be in for another day of interest in this share.....added a few more..but had to pay 6.5 as couldn't get a quote first thing!

Shortage of shares as very few in free float and not many selling ...waiting for the progress on the Crowdfunding platform launch. Looks to me like the new Director -- has not taken a 10& stake just for passing the time...;o))

Buying on further consideration of its shrewd diversification move into crowd-funding masterminded by former hedge fund guru Derek Stewart, Vitesse Media rocketed 42 per cent to 5.88p.

[ihavenoclue] 03/3/2014 13:14

I have no clue ;)

[hjfe] 03/3/2014 12:29

something clearly happening here - any ideas?

[ihavenoclue] 03/3/2014 12:13

No research just wanted a board with graphs :)

[opaldouglas] 03/3/2014 12:05

Sirraman - good timing.

[sirraman] 27/2/2014 18:22

just taken a a small position here today after reading up ...looks like Vitesse is entering a new phase with new Crowdfundinng platform, a new experienced non-exec Director who has 10% stake... and also only 20% approx shares are free float.....good potential imo..

We are already working with Derek and his team towards the launch of our Crowdfunding operation, which is a natural extension of our philosophy of 'connecting investors and entrepreneurs' drawing on the strength of Vitesse's existing brands and relationships."

Interesting that Derek Stewart has bought up 10% here via his personal pension plan, Derek is the former CEO of Mellon Global Alternative Investments at BNY Mellon.

Derek now jointly runs Carduus Capital.

Just been reading some posts and obviously thinking about investing, does the company generate cash ie surplus to running cost and that includes servicing debt?

[opaldouglas] 30/1/2014 22:09

BartolozziF - Purely going off what was stated in recent interims. Thanks for info. Whats the reasoning behind the cull?!?

"Our investment products, What Investment and Growth Company Investor, increased subscriber numbers during the period and the re-launched What Investment web site delivered an outstanding improvement in visits, page views and user retention. The team worked hard to increase revenues from brand extensions, such as research and events."

Growth Company seems be ticking along nicely.




Dont think so, there is now only one writer on the payroll, Benny Joglom. Phone and find out for yourself. Everyone else has been mullered and had their knackers cut off with a hack saw in a round of cost cuts

Last nights Grant Thornton awards hosted by Vitesse, link below. Does anyone have any idea of the revs/margins per event?

I imagine the Grant Thornton event would be rather lucrative given the clientele.

Vitesse media research:



In many ways it such a strange little company, fingers in many pies and all.

[opaldouglas] 30/1/2014 07:52

Vitesse events, running at around one per month to date.
