On what evidence would investors be "happy" to gert a quarter of their money back? For many tears venture capitalists and a benchmark of 10x their investment in less than 5 years as the yardstick that had to be met before putting in funds. Shares on AIM ought to be less risky but they do carry real risk so say 2.5 times. Some shareholders paid over £4 in 1999 and that's 4x the maximum investment period so say 12 x to be a recompense for the patience and heartache.

Max offer 25k @ 14.50p

[mcsean2164] 04/11/2019 09:17

X5 would be great, it's divided by 20 for early investors, so I'm sure they'd be happy to get a quarter back!😂

No reason why the company can’t build serious revenue once our technology takes off.

A massive opportunity for us as an independent company.

I agree X5 realistic outcome, x10 if they benchmark how good the player is it may be integrated into YouTube as a premium subscription ? No other market would pay silly numbers

With AIM shares you should be aiming for a 5X or 10X + return as an outcome.

Imho

I think those early loyal investors had already made a fortune with SS investing in Eidos.

This really is venture capital type investing many investors are okay with risk.

[mcsean2164] 03/11/2019 22:35

Cc,

Agree.

The amazing thing is that SS has the link on his Wikipedia page. The page is clearly done by him or an affiliate. I'd not want to advertise how I'd failed early investors to such a degree but who knows, maybe it is motivating him to get back to £2.52...

I’m still not selling.

I’m still buying.

Bought 25k at 13.4p, and will buy more if we get back down there.

[chriscallen] 03/11/2019 20:52

It's impossible not to sympathise with those who have kept the faith over the last 19 years. If they are to get their money back some on this BB who bought at the bottom will profit handsomely as it will need a price of over 22 times at a price of 15p i.e. £3.33 So in all fairness to the faithful ones the directors should be aiming at £11 per share so that they too have a decent reward.

Mcsean
You must be in profit by 20-30% which is a better return than an Irish bank

[sideshowbull] 03/11/2019 20:24

Exactly Mcsean.


Wonder why it is hard to buy shares?

They are all still holding or buying more.

Amazing the difference 19 years can make. £100 invested in July 2000 would be worth £4.50 now.

If it was it needs an RNS but it wouldn't explain the RNS at 5pm. Must have been a lawyer in need of fees.

[cabi1] 01/11/2019 20:10

SSB, it was probably him who bought the 250k yesterday morning.

[nickb] 01/11/2019 19:00

We have all been following this share on the market for a long while

The way this share, it’s trades have certainly changed recently.

[sideshowbull] 01/11/2019 18:13

I have been doing this a long long time, for them to delay 250k for more than 24 hours is not normal.

May be why the voting rights RNS was issued. Could it be the ISA's and SIPPS issue I brought up a while back.

He never went short all BS was £36k margin to short £5k a point with stop at 17.5p.

Well unless he was short £5 a point.

Then he needs to find a new job.

Something like USD 20 and sold at USD 6.75 in 4 years.

All the recent tech IPOs are a sham.

How's the guy who went short (or so he says)?

[_m_k] 01/11/2019 17:45

"63% lower than the IPO price in 2015"

wow.

[bonio10000] 01/11/2019 14:33

63% lower than the IPO price in 2015.

Another tech Unicorn stunner investment.

OT
Google has just bought Fitbit $2.1billion

No money left for us?
