Sir_Dom - Maybe you should switch from SWOT to SOAR :) Threats are easy to identify, the hard thing is identifying whether a company is well positioned to overcome them.

[poebardem] 07/6/2020 11:06

Sir_Dom - I'm not clear what your objective is here, but I have to agree with Lukehold. Your focus and the points you refer to as "constructive criticism" are full of holes.

[poebardem] 07/6/2020 10:56

For clarification the Q1 RNS states "The platform receives over 60 million listens per month" at the bottom not 60 million downloads as True8lue comments in his post 6 Jun '20 - 23:36 - 3016 of 3040

On the Triton report it clearly states on page 5 that its 7 million weekly downloads.

How patronising Dom. I haven’t seen a valid argument from you yet. Just uncertainty, confusion and worry.

If boom was priced as the world leading podcast company I’d be the first to agree with you and be questioning those silly marketing straplines. To have it as you main argument for not to invest is frankly embarrassing for you and your new sock puppet friends account. On the N50 radar again is it?

[sir_dominic] 07/6/2020 10:31

True8lue : don’t worry, you cannot have a proper discussion with someone who is in love with their investment. Luke says he based his investment in BOOM based on hard facts. But from SWOT analysis he only choosing to do S & O. Just to be clear again, I hold shares in this company and I want it do do well. If they do well my shares will do well. But it doesn’t mean taking everything company says without applying a bit of constructive criticism.

[true8lue] 07/6/2020 10:21

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.

[lukehold] 07/6/2020 10:17

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.

[lukehold] 07/6/2020 09:38

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.“

[lukehold] 07/6/2020 08:52
