Posted at 24/1/2025 21:08 by salmon9 Yet another large share sale declared after hours within a few weeks of launch!It feels ironic that the large investor or investors who keep on their relentless selling of Blackbird shares, are consistently holding the share price down. Their selling, and it's negative effect on the share price, at a time of low buying interest due to lack of news, seems to guarantee that they achieve a lower and lower price in their share sales. Heaven help their customers who rely on their "expertise"! Maybe they have to sell shares due to their investors having little confidence in the investment company's investment judgement. Maybe they just don't focus sufficient effort on understanding the amazing future potential of Blackbird. I look forward to the time when Blackbird's positive prospects are totally clear, and the share price reflects this. |
Posted at 18/1/2025 15:12 by pat_cash She’s Communications, Customer Success and Marketing. Investor relations is one thread of Communications. She’s not there to hold the hand of a few PIs who can’t be bothered to do their research by constantly “reinforcing messages” and letting them (and competitors) know what’s happening on a day to day basis. If you listen to what the company tells you on each investor call then you’ll know what they’re doing - they basically gave you the entire strategy at the last AGM. |
Posted at 13/1/2025 15:12 by nickb GB904150Here is an AI generated answer which saves me time. Tech companies go into stealth mode with investors for several strategic reasons: 1. Protect intellectual property: Stealth mode allows startups to develop and secure patents for their innovative technologies without the risk of competitors copying their ideas 2.Control the narrative: By staying under the radar, companies can carefully craft their public image and create anticipation before their official launch. 3. Focus on product development: Operating in stealth mode enables teams to concentrate on refining their product without the distractions of public scrutiny or marketing efforts. 4 Create investor interest: Paradoxically, the secrecy of stealth mode can generate more inbound interest from venture capitalists (VCs) who are eager to discover the next big thing. 5.Strategic market entry: Stealth mode allows startups to surprise competitors and gain a foothold in the market before others can react. 6.Manage expectations: By limiting public exposure, companies can avoid premature judgment and have the flexibility to pivot or adapt their strategies as needed. 7. Signal savvy to VCs: Operating in stealth mode demonstrates to investors that founders understand the venture capital ecosystem and how to create demand. Stealth mode is particularly common in highly competitive or disruptive industries such as AI, biotech, and blockchain, where the potential for groundbreaking innovations is high. While this approach presents challenges in fundraising, many investors are willing to back promising stealth startups based on the team's reputation, the potential of the idea, and the excitement of being early supporters of a potentially game-changing venture. |
Posted at 15/12/2024 18:13 by salmon9 OrtegaI agree with you 100% There has been significant reassuring news from time to time about the elevate.io. project, and the current low share price is totally disconnected from this. The low share price definitely does not mean that there is any problem with elevate. It's quite simple. The share price will start to rise when there is more good news and new investors are drawn to buy shares in Blackbird. There will be positive momentum then. Until then the share price just reflects the balance of sells and buys, with few participants in the market. Any institutional investors selling significant quantities of shares will drive the price down. That is all there is to it. It does not reflect badly on elevate. So far the publicity for elevate.io has been low key, and those running this project have between them enormous skill sets to drive this project forward to success. They know what they want to achieve and how to do it. Why are some people sucked into a vortex of pessimism and in doing so risk pulling others down with them???? It is a disservice to Blackbird IMHO |
Posted at 13/12/2024 21:41 by nickb I get your point butWho wants to sell these serious investors their shares when it’s a proven money maker? I would rather them attract a few high net worth US Tech/ Media investors not City investors who can’t bring anything to the table. So a serious investor must be more than a financial analyst who waits for all the lights to turn green. Make an informed Bet It’s shocks me there are few if any funds going for high risk very high reward tech/ bio tech companies when we are going into a world of complete technology disruption in every industry with Cloud compute AI and Robotics Just my view on risk adverse City who might as well be replaced by an AI agent that measures financial metrics in old decaying companies. I know so many investors who just invest in the US market now |
Posted at 13/12/2024 15:31 by cocorico2009 The 'Santa rally' and why now could be a great time to start investingFor many, investing in the stock market can seem a daunting prospect and volatile thing to do with your money. But if there's any time to take the plunge, Christmas might just be it. It's all because of the so-called Santa rally. That's right, even the stock market gets down with the festive cheer. The basic idea is that there is a sustained increase in the stock market that occurs around the festive period - usually during the last five trading days of December and the first two of January. There are a lot of theories out there on why it happens, but does it mean you should think about investing now? Jonathan Webster-Smith, chief investment officer at Bowmore Asset Management, told Sky News' Business Live presenter Darren McCaffrey that in the past 73 years, the markets are up at this time of year 78% of the time. He says it can partially be attributed to "a bit of joy around Christmas time", but there are some underlying reasons it happens. "Institutional investors tend to settle positions and go away, and are they leaving the market therefore slightly for retail investors? Sentiment at that time of year is clearly much more positive," he says. "We also have a big thing in the US - the pension deadline and bonuses are paid, so there's increase flows in retail. And people launch predictions for 2025, so generally there's much higher flow." Probably a reflection of what is happening here (maybe). Im looking to buy some more if the price drops to the low 4's GLA |
Posted at 12/12/2024 19:35 by salmon9 I hope this perspective assists some investors...........Around 40 years ago, my wife and I set up a consumer orientated mail order business, in the leisure sector, from scratch, with no customers to start with. We invested £40,000 and in the first year, on paper, we lost £40,000. We believed that our product range was well selected and over the next couple of years we improved the quality of our mail order catalogue and we fine tuned our advertising. We progressed step by step, and after some years became market leader and made substantial profits. The key to our success was seeing and understanding how our type of business was projected in the USA. We applied this in the UK and that was the trigger for success. It was years ahead of the competition. We sold the business when it felt like enough was enough and we wanted more time to relax. Looking at Blackbird and elevate.io, I recognise that an outsider, without deep knowledge of the marketplace and technology would have no idea what it is worth. The current share price graph suggests that it might not have a bright future. However, the share price descent is on small volumes of trading and the transformative technological development of the elevate.io is not transparent to investors who may simply look at past financial results, and complex technology, and decide it is safer to invest elsewhere. Having been through my business experience, I am unaffected by the share price decline. I recognise it is disappointing, but I see it for what it is, which is a trend which is totally separated from what is going to happen over the next 6 months. As elevate.io progresses to the subscription model, and both users and investors get to see the products performance and potential for future growth, the share price will doubtless move upwards to reflect the progress. The current share price is logically far too low, and is divorced from elevate's commercial potential, both short and long term. It places no apparent value on elevate.io at all, which makes no sense. What an amazing buying opportunity, but most of us have as many shares as we could possibly need once success is apparent to all. As humans, we all have a finite life and so there is a limit to what we could possibly need to fund that period. My advice is to stay with it and focus on the horizon. |
Posted at 29/11/2024 08:12 by chriscallen It's the downside of having funds as investors. They have no control over when they have to fund redemptions by their investors. When they do get an outflow they have to sell some of the fund investments to finance the required repayment. Clearly they sell those that have underperformed and BIRD is likely to be well up if not top of the list because of its past history. It may have more promise than all of the rest of their investments put together but that is as yet uncertain whereas the need to repay their investors now is certain and urgent. They don't use their own money to fund the redemptions. |
Posted at 19/11/2024 12:31 by salmon9 NickBRegarding your post number 21678. As ever, I think you have a profoundly accurate understanding of what is currently going on. Due to the complexity of Blackbird's technology and what they are setting out to achieve, I think your quote, shown below is totally correct. It takes alot of time and effort, especially if you are investor like me, who is not technically experienced in video editing, to comprehend what the opportunity is and how well equipped Blackbird/elevate is to achieve it. Your quote is: " Personally I’m not sure this kind of investment is suitable for most people as they won’t put the work in so will get stressed by it all." The fact is that BB have developed, and are very much still developing an amazing video editing product with some real competitive advantages. Now that the BB team is strengthened by the new very relevantly experienced NEDs, the whole team, with huge determination, is developing a calculated, tuned in product with a carefully focused plan to succeed. IMHO the share price is stuck in the doldrums because of the lack of investor understanding, the current lack of publicity directed at investors, and the fact that some institutional investors have been selling to maintain their liquidity. I expect the real publicity will begin once the product is nearer to completion of the initial subscription edition. Hopefully we will then see the excitement in the video editing marketplace and the investment marketplace that we have been waiting for. In the meantime, I think it would be helpful if the totally negative video at the top of this page is taken down. It is totally misleading since it gives no recognition of the significant progress currently being assembled behind the scenes. The BOD have a right to expect more respect to be shown by an apparent investor. |
Posted at 11/10/2024 15:01 by salmon9 joeblogg2I think we are at 8p because very few investors are aware of the deep detail of Blackbird's proven IP excellence and the plans for elevate.io There hasn't been alot of publicity to draw investors' attention. I expect that will come when it is launched in Q1. I feel it would be best to hold back until the publicity is accompanied by a seriously advanced elevate with it's subscription model available. That way people won't just judge a part finished product. In my opinion, the share price has been seriously held down for many months due to several large institutional investors selling millions of Blackbird shares, probably due to a combination of them not understanding the detail about Blackbird and it's significant potential, and also they may have been liquidating various shares that they hold due to their investors redemptions. There was news yesterday about Liontrust suffering from investors redemptions. When Blackbird are ready to press the GO button, I feel sure that the share price will rise quickly to a more sensible level. IMHO |
