Audioboom Share Discussion Threads

Probably near 250

Horrid looking chart. Nothing to indicate a buy signal. But at some point it will become a value play...just not yet.

[festario] 30/1/2023 09:06

Jeez, there really is no worse chart than this, anywhere on AIM

[redwing1] 28/1/2023 17:57

I may well do so. The shares look cheap and I like the cash generation in 2022. I suspect that the market is fretting over advanced advertising bookings being a little behind where they were last January ($44 vs $45m) with an advertising slump forecast for this year. The key question will be when has the share price discounted the bad news.

[wooty01] 28/1/2023 14:43

Redwing, you have valid points from your view and I don't see any merit in arguing the toss except I don't think I was blustering nor am I an idiot. If you invest again good luck and hope you make another 50pc profit.

[knigel] 28/1/2023 12:01

I am also relieved … to be buying at this level as I expect a decent return over a 3-5 year window. I guess it depends on whether you trade with a short or longer term view

[redwing1] 28/1/2023 10:41

The Chairman can do what he likes. I simply wanted to support a well reasoned argument by Lexus2 in the face of your idiotic blustering. Contrary to your stupid conspiracy theories, I have no axe to grind. I bought Audioboom at £6 and sold at £9. I cursed myself as it went to £20+, but am now a relieved bystander at under £4.

By the way, there is nothing illegal about nil/low cost options. However, institutions that are lazy enough to allow them to be triggered long before a company makes a genuine profit risk letting the directors walk off very rich whilst shareholders suffer with the wreckage. I am not saying that will happen with Audioboom but I am saying that their remuneration was not properly aligned with shareholders interests.

[wooty01] 28/1/2023 09:35

Why have you and Lexus started a coordinated vendetta against the chairman buying shares. I thought I'd heard it all over the years. But this is utterly ridiculous. The thought police telling directors how or how not to buy shares. Beggars belief. Tobin has facilitated the growth of Audioboom over the past 5 years. He doesn't need any advice from you. Nor do the shareholders. Go back to your spread sheets with Lexus

[redwing1] 27/1/2023 22:21

Ok, you explain to me Wooty01 why a Chairman who owns shares and options worth in the millions would bother to buy £10,000 worth of shares at a time? No logic other than to ensure 'director buying' headlines in tipster sheets etc.

Message to Tobin. Stop wasting time with trivial trades and get on with helping the business achieve its ambitions.

[wooty01] 27/1/2023 20:41

The chairman is buying again. Why is that even a negative on the radar of Lexus and redwing. If they think buying 2500 shares whenever Tobin wishes is ramping are they serious. A total of 250,000 traded today how can 2500 be ramping. It's ridiculous to try and even make this assertion. Lexus has been proven to be factually incorrect in his posts. If you can twist the merits of a director buying we can see through your motives

[redwing1] 27/1/2023 18:38

Perfectly balanced and well argued points Lexus2. It's sad that Wooty01 is so blinkered that he won't even consider other viewpoints. That way of thinking can lose you serious money, especially when investing in the 'wild west' that is AIM.

Personally I am pretty suspicious of multiple trivial buys by directors. If you have the funds to invest a total of £500k in your company, why not make one or two purchases in real size as a genuine show of faith in your share price? Tobin's buys do little to persuade and look like ramping to me.

[cool hand kev] 27/1/2023 16:12

Is that the 2020 SP?

[amaretto1] 27/1/2023 11:20

Charts saying 2.50

[wooty01] 25/1/2023 08:00

Well done Michael Tobin with your purchase yesterday.

[echoridge] 25/1/2023 07:41

Another 'meaningless' 10 grand purchase by Tobin I guess

[ozzywalker] 24/1/2023 10:34

Yes 4D I should know lol

[wooty01] 24/1/2023 09:14

Lexus, the accuracy of your posts is being questioned. As you've obviously prepared well in advance your detective work, go back and have a look at the actual cost of the shares. They were not nil value. As I've said you have a bad motive.

[festario] 24/1/2023 08:26

Is there a worse looking chart on AIM than this??

[knigel] 24/1/2023 08:03

I rather he was buying than selling!

[wooty01] 24/1/2023 07:59

Your agenda is very clear. You've reacted twice now with such verbiage that you seem to be a self proclaimed sheriff! I agree that AIM is a dangerous place. But why go to the bother of detailing all Michael Tobin's purchases over the past 12 months. I'd understand if he was selling. People here were asking why hadn't he bought yesterday, my post simply said Tobin's bought again.

[lexuss2] 23/1/2023 23:13

My point is that you seem to feel the fact a director is buying shares is something that is encouraging for miniscule investors. Your recent post “Tobin has bought again” was certainly not couched in terms to discourage from that view, whereas I am merely trying to add a balance to your opinion.

You have not the slightest idea what “kind I am’ and to judge my personality from one factual post indicates more about you than it does about me.

AIM companies are littered with small, so called informed, investors who have lost more than they wish to admit. My own experience with AIM has been exceedingly expensive and I simply make the observations for balance - If you consider that makes me nasty then that is your prerogative, but that prerogative does not make your opinion any more valid than my own.

There are many AIM companies that have a history of deceit, lies, falsehoods, obfuscation and poor regulatory controls - and then BUST. AIM companies are ‘pumped’ more than any other listed companies; they are pumped to press the greed button of small-time investors so that those ‘in the know’ can easier take your hard earned.

The market knows before you and I know - the market generally wins.

[wooty01] 23/1/2023 21:23

....there's really rather nasty people out there

[wooty01] 23/1/2023 21:21

What is your point here Lexus? Jealousy? Have Tobin or Last done anything wrong? Go and continue your mischief making with Boris, Richie et al. Tobin hasn't sold a share. Why would he continue to accumulate at a loss when he's got the shares from his warrants. Incidentally not at nil cost as he facilitated a £4m loan so that Boom could guarantee the contracts of new shows. Your kind make me feel

[lexuss2] 23/1/2023 20:40

Last year, between 28 January and 13 September, Mr Tobin made 28 trades during which he purchased 36,686 BOOM shares - that is an average of 1310 shares per trade but, more importantly, 28 separate RNS announcements of director buying (to whet the appetite). Mr Tobin then went quiet until 19 December when he made another trade for 4658 shares, meaning that in 2022 he purchased a total of 41344 shares for a total price of £503216. At today’s price those shares are worth £165376, resulting in a paper loss of £337840.

However, in 2022 Mr Tobin also exercised warrants for 350,000 shares at nil cost and those shares are currently worth £1.4 million. His break-even price on the whole number of shares he purchased or was given in 2022 is therefore £1.29 per share and if he sold up today he would make an overall profit in excess of £1 million. The share price will have to take a huge tumble before Mr Tobin begins to feel any draft.

Similarly, Mr Last the CEO purchased 7455 shares in 2020, for a total price of £40488. During the same period, he exercised options to acquire a further 29000 shares at nil cost and within 24 hours sold 20,000 of those shares for a total of £344,400. The 9000 shares retained from his options, plus the 7455 shares he actually purchased, are currently worth £65820, showing a further profit of +£25K if he sold up today. As in Mr Tobin’s case, the share price would have to take a huge tumble before Mr Last begins to feel any draft.

And the other three directors have purchased how many shares????
