Blackbird Share Discussion Threads

Why is the spread still so wide?

Bid 16.50 Ask 17.20

We're a £50 million company now. One might expect a tighter spread rather than a 4% spread between buy/sell?

Homer Simpson telling Marge Simpson that he swapped their Blackbird shares for a beer

Market was a bit nervous about cloud security, US State Department signs with BIRD (have a feeling they tested the security). Biggest deal in BIRD history apparently.

Sellers.

Hand on face.

Probably best bowl I have ever seen on AIM (yep unicorn formation)

Definitely like swapping that 6 number lottery ticket for a 4 number one.

I couldn’t get my head round to handing over my Blackbird shares for someone else to make a fortune with!

[nickb] 16/10/2019 16:13

Crazy to top slice on this share!

Sometimes you have to be strong 💪

I was wondering when someone would be the first to mention "top slicing" !

[bonio10000] 16/10/2019 14:18

Google recommend you as one of their must have partners.

The State Department selects you as their media provider.

Defo the time to cash out.

One general strategy could be if a share doubles then sell half get your original money back and let the rest have a free ride.

However I’m not selling this one at this product or at this time in the company’s life.

Crazy

[bonio10000] 16/10/2019 14:01

If I had 15k or 20k shares and they doubled I wouldn't care.

I'm with Bully.

Crazy, I want life changing amount. This is not a trading share. It's a golden unicorn poop.

If you'd bought at 7p 2 months ago you might be happy to sell now.
If you'd bought at 120p twenty years ago you are more likely to hang on.

Every time I see a sale I scratch my head, wondering why, at this time of all times in the company’s history, people who’ve invested in the business in the hope of seeing exactly these recent events unfold, are selling out. Defies explanation.

10-20x would be acceptable to the G2 investment committee


As you were


G2 x

Agreed, NickB. It’s assuming that this latest wave of investors understand the opportunity properly, and are investing now in the anticipation of the deal flow picking up, so confirming them in their instincts of buying early. If I’m right we would expect them to hold for the long term to reap the benefits of that growing revenue stream, rather than the small investors making a quick turn on a small (2x) rise in share price of a company they may not properly understand. I believe that there is a growing awareness amongst a more sophisticated investor base, if it goes according to plan, just how substantial a return this could end up being. My view is that 10x - 20x is realistically achievable given the size of the opportunity BB is now positioned to intercept, and the fact that this is fundamentally a SaaS model - meaning that the revenue stream is likely to be at 85%+ net margin (with tiny central overheads), is multi-year, and extremely reliable. Contrast that with the polar opposite of a company like Avid.

[nickb] 16/10/2019 13:17

Which would make the free float even tighter I guess

[bonio10000] 16/10/2019 13:11

We will find out at 17.15.

Meanwhile the move of shares from small to large holders appears to continue.
