Will be interested to see this week if (without news) this moves clear of the 29/30 area or continues bouncing above and below. Seems to be good enough buying support everyone it drops to 28ish but not enough to push it higher. End of Friday could be a good sign though. As noted previously I am unduly calm even though each penny up or down makes a significant difference for me. All the information posted and research done including the less worrying doubts indicates we have found a good investment and got in at the right time. Patience will be its own reward.

steveoc exactly and well put!

I think the Lumen research news was extremely important. Had it been negative, then everything that has and is to follow wouldn't and won't !!

[stevoc1964] 28/7/2019 07:31

Hi Lauders
My take was that JD was saying there would be news within a month but the hesitancy was about the type of news. I think there has been good news, as promised....good appointments...independent verification from Lumen Research...brand safety seal.
He went on to say that in the next two, three, four months there would be plenty news. I think that this may be the type of news that could be considered to have a more tangible effect on revenues ie deals. That’s not so long away now...... I was also interested in his talk of joint ventures and platform owners. All very interesting and exciting.

Good luck.
Steve

AFFC21 Thanks for that and interesting to

through it.

This week , next week, next month not a problem for me, still a young company and needs time to get it all together. Whilst I am expecting news soon, given the podcast hints, I would only start asking questions if we get to Q4 with no news.GLA

[lauders] 28/7/2019 06:00

Stevoc1964 - I listened to the podcast again as suggested and everything is still very encouraging. It was obvious many things are "in the works" but one striking point to me was that when pushed JD was hesitant to commit to "news in a month" (interview was 18th June) and so far more than a month later (despite him saying news was likely) we are still waiting. Hopefully the news will appear 7.00 am or shortly after, tomorrow or this week at least.

Should be due soon that seems to be clear. Always hard for BOD to commit to timelines as has been shown by those representing countless companies. I would be so rich if I had a quid for every time I read "news is due shortly" on BB of many companies I look at or have an investment in. Good luck BIDS holders for a decent RNS or more (might be like buses!) this week.

This seems a good time to remind those who, during the week, implied that a fund raise would be inevitable at some point in the future; there is more than one way for a brilliant young company ... eg Bidstack...to expand quickly :-Advantages of joint ventureA major joint venture advantage is that it can help your business grow faster, increase productivity and generate greater profits. Benefits of joint ventures include:* access to new markets and distribution networks* increased capacity* sharing of risks and costs (ie liability) with a partner* access to greater resources, including specialised staff, technology and financeJoint ventures often enable growth without having to borrow funds or look for outside investors. You may be able to:* use your joint venture partner's customer database to market your product* offer your partner's services and products to your existing customers* join forces in purchasing, research and developmentTaken from nibusiness info.co.uk and mentioned by tech hound earlier today.It's worth listening to JDs last podcast again if you haven't heard it recently:-https://audioboom.com/posts/7292305-bidstack-live-company-group-and-eco-atlantic-oil-gas

Not far off 1 million viewing hours per day right there, for one game, on one platform. I expect FM will have great success from stadia and cloud rollout, great to have this game as proof of concept.

Web link to alternative FM19 online player numbers.FM19 Steam Charts:https://steamcharts.com/app/872790Great research Moneyg, it's appreciated.

[2prsimo] 27/7/2019 09:57

Great research guys - much appreciated

[moneygenxyz] 27/7/2019 09:51

Absolutely. Best thing about BIDS is that you are riding on the coat tails of some extremely smart and motivated industry players and there is clear visibility of direction of travel.

2 million sales of FM19. That’s double last year, average 40,000 players per day. Wonder if that was factored into the forecast? 2 million unique players essentially... wait until it gets onto the cloud! I think it will fly - it’s one of those games that you’d play if you could be bothered to turn on the PC and sit there antisocially (missus wouldn’t allow it!). Now that it’ll be on my smart TV....

Some can see that the stars will align, some will note when the stars have aligned, some will only know when they can buy the t-shirt....and some will always believe it was a hoax....

[lukehold] 27/7/2019 09:13

The stars are aligning

[moneygenxyz] 27/7/2019 08:28

Of general interest - TTD partnering with AMZN. Both buyout candidates in my eyes.

Good article on project xcloud. It is easy to focus on google stadia and forget about this.https://www.gamespot.com/articles/see-the-xbox-streaming-service-xcloud-in-action-8-/1100-6468631/

New release of Soccer Manager. Interestingly 4.5 stars with 1.4k reviews on Apple store

[stevoc1964] 26/7/2019 22:50

I'm not sure if anyone follows tech hound. Around 3pm I guess, he was asking if the penny had dropped and had this tweet pinned. I noticed a reference to project xcloud. Tech-hound (@Tweet_trader01)21/07/2019, 10:39#BIDS what a team pic.twitter.com/u4RffjGS7a

[moneygenxyz] 26/7/2019 22:20

Yeah that was released at 15:00 so possible link to price action?

Who knows

25 years running though too... BIDS has already hit the jackpot here imo. Nothing more successful than a FIFA or FM cashcow and I’m betting we have some very strong relationships forged at SI.

[lukehold] 26/7/2019 22:12

Microsoft deal done then... FM20

[moneygenxyz] 26/7/2019 21:53

Miles Jacob - sports interactive studio director

“25 years ago I started on a journey helping out a couple of friends who made a computer game that I loved, on the side of my unproper job in the music industry.
Little did I know that I'd even go full time some 8 years later, let alone still be here a quarter of a century down the line.
In that time the team has grown from a handful of us to over 130 at the time of typing, alongside our incredible scouting team of over 1,000 globally. We've sold close to 30m games around the world, which have been played by well over a hundred million people. And we're nowhere near done yet - with FM20 to be properly announced next month, partnerships with Microsoft and Google, and next year our most ambitious as a studio to date with at least one new project due to launch.“



I’m sure FM20 will be some nice extra news flow. Keen to hear about this new project...

[scottman72] 26/7/2019 19:34

Nope, not me. Total value was more than this but didn’t manage a buy that large without getting a poor price.

[global nomad] 26/7/2019 19:11

Maybe that trade was sg? Or Scott?

[global nomad] 26/7/2019 19:09

Yes Hazl, the whole peninsula is female free and that includes animals.....2000 monks in 20 orthodox monasteries.

[2prsimo] 26/7/2019 18:58

73 grand buy just popped up from lunchtime. That was the trade that shifted the book along this afternoon.
