Bango Share Discussion Threads

[simonsaid1] 09/5/2017 12:04

Well the business is built on scaling, so I don't think it'll even require that many people to expand the business significantly - the wonders of building an API based service! A dozen new jobs will go a long, long way.

I actually tried to buy some more shares this morning, but the spread's a little wide for my liking. Still cheap at 135p, though, considering 150p has been reached recently and most analysts see 200p achievable in the next few quarters. At some point I expect this will graduate to the main FTSE and start paying dividends, as it's in growth mode now but is ultimately a constant profit type of business.

Simon

Totally agree and with the Bango hiring philosophy to take on graduates where possible the cost base should not rise to much.

[simonsaid1] 09/5/2017 11:28

So refreshing after all the shenanigans in my other AIM shares to come take a look at Bango, where everything's rosy and profitable. Star investment. It's always been made clear by management that they have their sights set on becoming a major, and now that deals and money are pouring it, it makes sense that they're hiring more people and continuing to scale up the business.

Nothing new but a nice summary of where Bango are up to

Looking for more than a dozen new hires, now that's confidence going forward

Totally agree

Also the more accessible DCB becomes on a global scale then the more likely additional content merchants will want to jump on the bandwagon

[simonsaid1] 05/5/2017 10:18

Whether or not Bango turns out to be involved, it all feeds into the trend of DCB all over the world, and every time another MNO or app store operator decides to get on board, there's a good chance they'll choose the most advanced and focused platform for the job, which is certainly Bango.

[lentjes] 05/5/2017 06:44

Nothing to say Bango are involved but further momentum for carrier billing and Google. We could do with the likes of Samsung, MS & Amazon picking up the pace to keep up with Google

I trade on TA and money management disciplines so why would I make comment on fundamentals it's not my area of expertise. But for you to have no acknowledgement of TA and how powerful it is says a lot to me about your character.


I don't expect everyone to use it as there is more ways than one to skin a cat but to rubbish it is pure nonsense.


What do you want me to say about fundamentals they are rubbish?


Well I won't fundamentals drive the market and particular stocks that is plainly obvious, however for me using TA I can pick up on fundamental drivers and shift changes amongst other things.

Now how's that for true opinion mindeness.

As for checking investopedia lol how basic a comment is that.

Just stick to what you do and stop rubbishing TA that was my only point. Open mind in life is the way to go and from reading your comments imo I don't think you have one.

And lastly chill man it's just a trade, sorry investment.

[bigdazzler] 27/4/2017 12:27

Don't get so emotional Simon it's a poor trait in investing. It's like you take it all personal it's a stock not a member of family.

Remember emotionless trading or if you like to call it investing, emotionless investing.

[simonsaid1] 27/4/2017 12:15

Well is there any reason for the MNO to tell anyone it's Bango providing the service? To their customers, all that matters is that the carrier now offers DCB.

The VIVA announcement may well be one of the last of its kind, and perhaps they received feedback from that regarding overuse of RNS. I suspect they had a comms consultant telling them off.

SP ticking back up nicely today. TA folks - if your charts told you it was coming down, why is it now going back up already? And when it ticks down again in the next few days, will you once again claim 'the charts' did it?

Once again, small free float of shares, needle moves fast with small trades. Since many amateur investors use this forum, it's important to point out incidents like this to prevent more of them falling for TA scams and ending up losing money. Again, 80% of people lose money with spreadbetting and CFD's. Approach with caution - there is no substitute for properly researching a company before investing.

VIP the next BGO

[lentjes] 27/4/2017 11:52

Thanks for your efforts

As I said I gave up sending them emails after receiving similar reply's.

Frustration being if this was truly the companies strategy what was the key milestone reached with VIVA Bahrain with a subscriber base of lees than half a million that warranted a news announcement (albeit not a RNS) especially in that this was not the first migration.

Also its clear that its not MS who have implemented the strategy of no announcements so its either Bango or the MNO and I see no reason for the MNO to withhold announcements as its surely in their interest to inform their subscribers.

[amt] 27/4/2017 11:43

Thanks for info.

[simonsaid1] 27/4/2017 10:14

I received a reply from Bango's CFO, no new info though:

'Dear Simon

Thank you for your recent request to the Bango Investor.

As we have previously stated, we won’t be releasing announcements on individual activations any more, but we will from time to time release joint announcements with our partners, when key milestones are reached.

The Bango website hxxp://bango.com/ and Bango investor website hxxps://bangoinvestor.com/announcements/ will be kept up to date with announcements and new releases.

Kind regards

Rachel

Rachel Elias-Jones, CFO, Bango'

If this Telus Canada DCB launch wasn't a Bango activation, she could have simply said it, so this may be a more instructive answer than it appears.

[simonsaid1] 26/4/2017 22:45

Lol, someone has been through my posts systematically downvoting each one. This is how sensitive people get when you question their mystical number games.

[deuchar] 26/4/2017 22:24

Thanks simonsaid

[acefromspace] 26/4/2017 17:38

Yeah some serious people here. Not just idiots. Interested in the response too.

[simonsaid1] 26/4/2017 17:27

Deuchar - if you'd like to do some research to help you decide when to buy, here are some links. Bear in mind that the company has had some fairly fundamental changes over the last few years, so historic charts are not particularly helpful in assessing the company as it exists today:

Simon Thompson's most recent column covering Bango, with financials analysed and 200p target:

[deuchar] 26/4/2017 17:12

Thank you Simonsaid I originally said it might fall to a £ and I might be completely wrong

[simonsaid1] 26/4/2017 17:01

deuchar, apologies for being rude, but there are a lot of chartists descending on this stock lately, who don't understand it and just spread pointless negative sentiment that has no relation to the company - because they have done no research other than stare at charts.

If you're waiting for the stock to fall to 80p, you'll just miss the train completely. Even with a free float as small as this, that would be an extraordinary retrace, since the rerating that got it where it is today was actual news and results. You're really hoping for bad news for the company to drag it down, but if you spend any time researching the company you'll see why it would be very difficult for that to happen.

I cannot stress enough that using TA principles on tiny, volatile AIM growth stocks tipped by some of the top analysts in the industry is simply not an appropriate strategy.
