Don't worry even if the government change ISA rules but you are already stuffed with Bird don't worry. Retrospective changes to the rules of Stocks and Shares ISAs, where the new rules would apply to investments made before the change took effect, are generally not common. This is because retrospective changes could create uncertainty and fairness issues for investors who made investment decisions based on the rules in place at the time.If any changes to the rules of Stocks and Shares ISAs were to be made, it is likely that they would be communicated clearly and implemented prospectively to provide investors with clarity and consistency in their investment decisions. It is always recommended to closely monitor any updates or changes to the rules governing your Stocks and Shares ISA to ensure compliance and alignment with current regulations.

Yes, ultimately it must be true that the share price will be underpinned primarily by the financial performance of the Blackbird business, given benign financial markets. The involvement of traders will inevitably cause artificial share price movements from time to time.

It is also true that currently, it is a relatively small number of investors who truly understand the detail of the huge potential for Blackbird to improve its financial performance in the relatively near future. The reason for this is that Blackbird's business is very technical and complex, and so needs alot of effort to understand.

In the meantime, positive factual informative news releases from the company will help current and future investors to understand the investment opportunity offered by Blackbird.

I believe that patience will deliver a great result.

There is a reason most retail investors lose money, they don't do the work, and selling early due to not understanding the business is one one the best ways to not realise value. So those who sell at 100% can pass their shares on to those who understand the business better.

Investors who make life changing amounts of money need something similar to what some us believe BIRD to be in their portfolio, then they need to squeeze out every last drop (to use an Art of Execution analogy). They also need a bit of luck.

£££ not pence.

Hi SSB.. feeling relieved watching Bird flying again…sometimes I just don’t know we loyal investors hold it for many years, didn’t even sold a single share even at 40p … waited and waited and now NEW investors or penny traders enjoying the lowest price and buying 6/7 times more quantity than us stupid loyals ! How do you justify?

On NASDAQ delayed market data refers to the pricing and trading information for various financial instruments, such as stocks, commodities, and currencies, which is made available to the public after a certain time lag from the moment the data was generated.

Late trading violates the federal securities laws concerning the price at which mutual fund shares must be bought or redeemed and defrauds innocent investors in those mutual funds by giving to the late trader an advantage not available to other investors.

So what appears to be common on AIM gets you an orange suit in the US.

Whilst I fully understand how the continual side in the share price is emotionally depressing, taking a perspective standing back from Blackbird and the launch of elevate.io, I don't see that the essentials of the plan have changed in any significant negative way.

1. Current evidence of elevate indicates that it is on track to being the most advanced video editor for it's large target market. The visible evidence is that testing has been going well with no technical glitches.
2. It was made clear to us from the outset that the full version of elevate.io would be launched when it was ready and not before.
3. Sufficient funding was raised, at the outset of the project, to cover the pre full launch development and there is no evidence that the funds available will be insufficient.
4. Blackbird is continuing the development work without the distraction of managing publicity about the developing product. The time for publicity will be when the completed product is visible and available to all.
5. Blackbird will pursue a well planned go it alone launch and progression unless there is a pre launch serious approach by a large tech company. Such an intervention would be dealt with on it's merits.
6. Sumit has managed the elevate product from the outset and continues to do so with clear enthusiasm.
7. Mo Valans, after 2 years working in support of Sumit seems to have stepped back from a full time involvement in the project which may simply be a natural evolution, as the project progresses. Whatever, the detail is on this change, it is manageable.
8. The share price continues to slide, due to low selling volumes, probably mainly from one or more institutional investors due to lack of news and their own investment cash flow issues. At this stage, there is a lack of accessible information and publicity that would tempt new investors. Existing investors have acquired all the shares that they feel they need.

So, taking all the above into consideration, I don't see that the exciting opportunity for Blackbird and elevate.io is any less than it was in the first place. Infact the positive feed back from general release testing indicates that much progress has been made.
What is needed from us now is patience, respect and support for Blackbird's management and their team, so that at this critical stage, they know we are behind them.
The last thing they need now is negative speculation from the very people who have bought an investment position in Blackbird.

I have been in situations like this with other businesses and I am convinced that that this is the best way forward.

The analogy isn't perfect, but even in football matches, supporters generally cheer their team, in order to encourage them, regardless of how the game is progressing.
Positive support can feel empowering.

It seems to me that the share price is unbelievably low for a number of combined reasons including:
1. Blackbird keeping elevate.io publicity under the radar seemingly until it is ready to launch with all it's bells and whistles.
2. The lack of hype, over such a long time, has led to a long term decline in interest from investors. Schroders and maybe other institutional investors have been selling persistently with no regard for their effect on the share price, and retail investors have lost confidence until they can see a sustained recovery starting.
3. AIM is having a very bad time even though the FTSE 100 is pushing through all time highs.

The net effect of all this is a share price which places no value at all on elevate, which is, in a rational sense, illogical. After all, Blackbird's technical track record in the field chosen for elevate, the patents, the product seen in general release, all coupled with the proven capability of the staff running this project who know exactly what their careful strategy is likely to achieve, suggest that this will be a success in one way or another.
The problem as far as potential investors are concerned is that apart from a few who contribute their thoughts on ADVFN, IT IS ALL A HUGE SECRET!!

To change the current situation, it needs the chargeable product launched with associated publicity, and the word to spread, and people to sign up, and then the upward trajectory in the share price will take off. However, it has been made clear that elevate won't be launched until it is totally ready, with the necessary plug ins and flawless performance. A target date for this is not given presumably to avoid negative publicity if a tentative launch date is given and then delayed.

Hopefully we will get past this blockage in a couple of months!

So building the world’s fastest Cloud video editor at a highly accessible price which is clearly a next generation video editing platform should have no value in a multi billion dollar market?

To me I suspect you are a business investor rather than a technology investor ie later stage investor and that’s fine Blackbird is not for you.

NickB - you get a bit defensive as soon as there is any criticism of BIRD. I think I'm asking valid investor questions? The story has changed but few really acknowledge it.

If BIRD have the world's best and fastest cloud video editor then yes, of course that should be of interest to Apple, AWS, Google, Adobe.

But that's a big IF and is yet to be proven. Or at least - it's yet to be proven to the people who matter - which is Apple, AWS, Google, Adobe.

It's certainly not proven by the minimal revenues generated by BIRD or by the number of users using elevate so far, or the zero revenues from elevate.

So we should just stay a little sceptical. Would you agree?

As for your....."it might not be for you" line. That's a bit sales pitch-y if you ask me. I like your optimistic approach but your perma-positive position makes me suspect if you get paid by the company at all?

As for your suspicions about me about being a late stage investor, no that's not the case. I invest in all sorts from early stage to late stage.

But on that point....we're 26 years in here!

Are we classing this one as early stage or late stage?

"BIRD needs to provide a reason for people to invest and that means contracts and revenue"

The value in Blackbird is not about its profits, but the company showing what can be done with its disruptive technology, it's about education and selling that technology on to a company that understands it and can make full use of it to make massive profits. It's the codec and connected software, along with IP that will make us billions. It won't be AIM investors who dictate the SP, it will be a big corporation. One day share price will be 6p next day it will be £3+ and that overnight rise will never come from AIM private investors as these investors just don't understand this business model. IMHO.
