Well they are definatley buysBodes well

[cyberbub] 30/10/2017 19:34

Looks like a large rollover, possibly related to a spread bet?

[peted81] 30/10/2017 19:24

It was mainly interested in trades so significant they could trigger one. Not the RNS itself.

Anyhow, forget it. The trades appear to be late tonight but are actually dates 26th Oct

[woodcub] 30/10/2017 19:19

what sort of upside do people see if an RNS happens?

[peted81] 30/10/2017 18:55

Can you guys see any unusual late trades? There's talk on LSE about trades big enough to trigger an RNS. I don't see them though??

Edit - I see them now. 2 trades, 40million shares each. Flagged as blue / buys on LSE

“The focus had been so much on, ‘How do I package my audience to the benefit of my advertisers?’ said Melissa Chowning of Melissa Chowning Media, who helps publishers develop their digital audiences. “But now it’s going to be, ‘How can I slice and dice an audience to the benefit of my paid products?’ I think micropayments are going to be most relevant to publishers from a membership model standpoint.”

Both Blue and COIN will go much higher this week !

[oakville] 30/10/2017 05:21

This could all be another tech boom scenario but make hay while you can.

[oakville] 30/10/2017 05:21

Crypto 's up again. BItcoin $6100 !!

[moormoney] 28/10/2017 11:22

Let’s hope he can do the same for Blu shares!!

[moormoney] 28/10/2017 11:21

I thought that doodle! I was wondering what the gadget could be 😳😳

[doodlebug4] 28/10/2017 11:17

If he can take a few paper clips and an envelope worth 10p and turn it into a product worth £150 he certainly would be a useful addition to the Board.:-)

[patientcapital] 28/10/2017 10:39

Thanks, Hootz & doodle. Useful addition to BLU's board maybe? Thick end of £200k invested shows confidence in BLU's future prospects.

Final year project involved building a set of apparatus which would allow triggering freezing in a supercooled a droplet of water. Supercooling is when a liquid is brought to a temperature below it's freezing point without it becoming a solid. This involved crafting a pin only a few nanometres thick which was rested against the meniscus of the water droplet and running a voltage through the point to trigger freezing in the supercooled droplet.

What does it say, doodle? Don't use LinkedIn.

What a solicitor? Get one.

[flashheart] 27/10/2017 16:57

With Nicholas Slater being in possession of nearly 60m shares he obviously hasn't bought that many on a whim and possibly has a greater inkling of what's to come for little old BLU than most of us on here.

[3rd eye] 27/10/2017 16:33

Yes but i said

[hootza616] 27/10/2017 16:12

With regard ONL its betting on the horses name rather than the form.
Have done the same, following the sheep and will dump at £1 next week.
In contrast I am V Long on BLU.
