Take a fkn break Aiden!!!!!!!
There is NO NEWS and your posts are monotonous!!!

[hazl] 11/12/2019 21:28

Aiden thanks very much for that last link.
It's articles like that that keep me very firmly in BIDS.
True,I took some profits along the way,but put them in share form.
I find that easier to bear through the ups and downs and do it companies I like.


'There is plenty of data indicating how huge the rise has been and will yet be. That isn't to say that there is no nuance here and you can just grab an eSports ETF and have your retirement secured. No, granularity and wisdom are always mandatory for true investing. Nonetheless, of all the megatrend waves to try and catch, I think this one is the easiest.'

'Money is flowing into it. But the best part is that the ship has not set sail yet, as it were. Remember the stats from above where the average eSports consumer monetized to about $3.94 vs. the $54 for traditional sports? Recall also that people are watching eSports more than they are watching the superbowl. As eSports monetization closes the gap on traditional sports, lucrative might be an understatement. As firms figure out how to monetize eSports, and they are, it is going to be fantastically profitable.'

Good for you squidd.

Liz how very refreshing.
Please do look at the sha bb where there are the most disgruntled,crusty old pessimists that consider any compassion a sign of weakness.
I wind them up about Labour getting in (because its their worst nightmare) and try to instill some consideration for those not so well-off but it certainly hasn't raised the approval your post has here.
There's also a nice way of supporting Eagle Radio's appeal for new toys. Whenever you buy a toy consider buying for a family down on their luck is the hope.

Happy Christmas here everybody!

So I have just donated to the Salvation army my gain on the shares I sold. This year more than any other I feel us capitalists (which is what we all are) worrying about whether our thousands will turn to millions should take a moment to look around our decorated houses and how much we have spent on presents for our spoilt families and realise that the cold, lonely, hungry and destitute out there may once have been us or a CEO or someone who just gave up on life because it was too hard to chase the dream and lose. Christmas Eve these people have nothing, no-one and then the salvation army turn up and take them in for a hot meal and a decent human connection. I want to allow them to have the funds to do that because one day, who knows......…...…...

Derek wise was involved with grapeshot that oracle paid 325m for with around 15-20m in rev

[remarkomsoc] 11/12/2019 18:58

No it's the valuation and revenue numbers that was the point

[hazl] 11/12/2019 18:56

remarkasoc thanks for the article.
We need to now what is going on in the back ground.
I am personally not up to speed with any share at the moment for various reasons.

I will say though, that any of those 'problems' cited....privacy ....positioning of the ad relative to other s, must have already been met in 'real' life so I cannot see why these cannot be addressed in a similar and easy way.

Just the pendulum swinging too far,I suspect.

Oracle has bought a UK biz that claims to help firms avoid putting their ads next to dodgy images or content – just as the marketing tech industry faces increased scrutiny and uncertainty.

The acquisition of Cambridge-based Grapeshot, which in 2016 had a turnover of £9m but operating losses of almost £2m, comes amid ad industry fears that tougher privacy laws will make programmatic advertising more difficult, not to mention growing public concern over profiling.

Oracle quietly announced the buyout – sum undisclosed – on its M&A pages, without the usual accompanying press statement. It said the deal would "close the loop" in its marketing offerings, having acquired ad-tracking biz Moat almost a year ago to the day.

Grapeshot's tech is sold as a way of ensuring adverts are placed in the desired context online to "avoid unsafe content that will damage brand equity".

This is because it's not just what your ad says, but where it is. Beyond simply needing to reach the right people, companies don't want to end up touting their wares next to an article slamming their brand – or risk association with right-wing loons or dodgy pictures of kids.

In contrast to standard programmatic advertising tech, Grapeshot's product allows punters to set brand-specific keywords or phrases and block on a page basis, rather than domain – and to do this in real-time so it can respond to breaking news. And, unlike Google's AdSense, Grapeshot works across multiple platforms.

Big Red said the tech will be brought into the Oracle Data Cloud as part of its audiences and measurement portfolio, lest we forget the software company is trying to beef up its data analytics and martech business.

Oracle bigged up Grapeshot's 5,000-strong customer base and its use on more than 38 billion programmatic ad impressions a month – company accounts show that most of its business is generated in the States.

According to Grapeshot's latest filing (PDF) on Companies House, for the year ended 31 December 2016, it had a turnover of £6.15m in the US, up from £2.02m in the previous year.

In the UK, turnover was £1.89m, down from £2.14m in 2015; Europe and the rest of the world saw £1m in 2016, up from £858,000 in 2015.

However, despite an overall turnover boost of 80 per cent in the fiscal – up to £9m – the firm's £8m gross profit was wiped out with a £9.7m spend on admin expenses.

That amounted to an operating loss of £1.7m, wider than the £1.34m operating loss in the prior year. ®
