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.

I have had a few private emails, about this.

So will try to explain from my point of view.


BIRD:

I hold let's say 100k BIRD in my ISA.

I use II and a few others for that so "this the test case". Explanation.

I want more BIRD at these cheap levels or even I want to sell BIRD at the high levels.

Will all stay within that broker..

That trade will be "juggled/wiggled" and you will be filled.

Works well on shares that have low volume and not much interest.

What happens when they can't find shares?

Only happens when investors want to buy shares so let's keep out faith.

Let's see if there is any interest in Our BIRD/ ELEVATE.io/ New Tiktok?

There are different ways that LTIPs can work. In this case the participants get nothing if the share price fails to meet the hurdle prices i.e. 15p and 20p by 31/12/2027. If the share price then exceeds that the reward pool increases in value by 5% of the increase in the share price over the hurdle prices. So in simple terms it's a way of creating a management reward for getting the share price up.

Hairflick made it clear that his invitation to predict the likely share price at the end of 2025 was just some light hearted seasonal fun.
Having said that, anyone making a guess has more information to go on than they would if they bought a lottery ticket.

There are clearly two possible outcomes on 31 December 2025 for Blackbird.

Firstly Blackbird may have been taken over, and SS /IM have made it clear that they will not sell out for less than at least $1 billion, and they believe that they are setting out to build a company worth alot more than that.
It seems to me that a sell out for less than $1 billion would only happen if there was a serious financial problem in the company that was impossible to repair.

Secondly, Blackbird may continue under the current ownership structure, and in that case, the share price will be the result of:
1. Blackbird's commercial progress during 2025.
2. The prospects for Blackbird's profitable growth going forward.
3. The technical achievements/ breakthroughs of their competitors.
4. The health of international stock markets.

If you are guessing what the share price will be next Christmas, the most sensible guess will depend on why you are guessing. If the closest guess wins a cash prize, the sensible guess will be not too far from today's share price, or indeed less, so I am reluctant to add my guess. But there isn't a prize, so the guess is a bit meaningless.

I've made a satisfying return on my money over 60 years buying stocks that the market had abandoned but which I thought might yet do well. Blackbird is a perfect choice for that strategy. Unfortunately I have already put in more than I have for any share, and at a much higher price than 5p, so I am as depressed as many here are. I wonder if I am getting old and lazy, or rather, I'm sure I am, but the stock market has lost its way. As happened in the late 19th century, the robber barons are taking over the economy. More and more people are giving up on stock selection, and are 'buying the index', which is effectively betting that big companies can crush any challenger. Bitcoin is the perfect example: it has no value to society, indeed it has negative value, being only useful to those who want to make financial transactions that damage society, yet it has roared ahead: it has done well so people assume it will go on doing well.

I'm afraid we risk another correction such as was kicked off in 1920 USA. That won't just affect bitcoin. The super rich don't spend their own money, they borrow against their assets. Either they become even richer, or if things go badly they may end up only rich. If things go really badly, then large swathes of society end up poor, as wealth disappears, Banks go bust, or are saved by transferring the pain somewhere else. Pension pots evaporate. House prices fall and mortgaged property gets repossessed. Jobs disappear, economies collapse.

So I pull the blanket over my head, and wish us all a safe outcome. Absolutely no point in selling Blackbird at this price, but no point in pretending there is no risk.

ok - that being the case

'the value of each pool is calculated at 5% of the increase in the Company's share price above the base share price for each pool'




therfore :-

LTIP 1 = 5% x (SP>15 - 15)

LTIP 2 = 5% x (SP>20 - 20)


They key being 'greater than' (>) the hurdle price.!!

So 5% of something worth while would need to equate to an share price many times the hurdle price !!!

eg

SP @ £1.15

LTIP 1 = 5% x (115 - 15) = 5p


or do i have this all wrong ?

Nick,
Can you help with a bit of clarity for me please.


'Each of LTIP 1 and LTIP 2 consists of 5,000 LTIP units that collectively form a pool and the value of each pool is calculated at 5% of the increase in the Company's share price above the base share price for each pool, respectively.'

'The Remuneration Committee has set the hurdle price of the LTIP 1 and LTIP 2 units for the current LTIP Period, of 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2027, at 15p and 20p respectively.'




Is the 'hurdle price' the same as the 'base share price' (just a change of terminology), or are they 2 separate values in their own right.

TIA

The time to judge whether BIRD is a good investment will not be before the end of Q1 2025. In the past BIRD did not have a credible product for a mass market, now it has exacly that. It also has a CPO who is on record that can seen online and so far he has stuck to what he outlined then. Once released everyone will be able to see if it looks likely that the initial target of 1M paying users is achievable. The downside then will be triggered if they look like falling materially short. Equally the upside will be triggered if the numbers of paying users rises quickly. SR has his own experience with Sony Vegas and 3 NEDs who know how to expand a tech company fast.

From past history Adobe which floated in 1986 launched what is now its current product in 2013. It had 1.4M active subscribers at the end of that year and currently has 29.5M. In that year 2013 Adobe had 12,499 employees. But much of the activity was and is in respect of static material not video.

By contrast BIRDs base is miniscule, its payroll must be around 50 currently and it is now focused on the new video product. If it hits its target of 1M paying users on the lower figures of the first financial model (income £25 per user per month) they will hit £300M turnover in a full year. That model assumed total expenses of 30% of turnover and on that basis a profit of £210M would be expected. There are just over 387M shares currently in issue. So the downside is a share price of 0p and the upside is a share with an annualised 56p of earnings which is growing fast and which must be reflected in the share price So it all depends on whether you think SR and his team can deliver what they said they were aiming to achieve or whether elevate.io becomes a failed product. At the moment they are on schedule and the product looks to be very reliable with tools and features not available elsewhere.

I 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

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.
