poor intraday chart.
I should have invested elsewhere.
A few nice shares going up now.

lets see some rise in the sp

Stegrego you're being very unfair. Being a 'destination employer' clearly gives Blur the right to boast about their success in recruiting some people and to use that to mention in passing, a large number of some sort connected with their market.

Its the sort of announcement that gives you a warm feeling of confidence in your investment... in other companies.

The more codswallop RNSs come out like that, the more I believe this is one big hype machine and will never make a decent profit.Well don't invest then!

That last post seems the most sensible for a while.

When Blur 3 launched, it was several weeks before we saw growth in listed projects. Users have to spend time evaluating a new software release to see where the benefits are before committing budgets. Also larger users want to see how Blur 4 will integrate with their ERP systems, etc. The weeklong Chinese new year break will have affected projects last week - still 70 listed. I sold out twice last year when things seemed to be quieter. Then had to buy back in when large projects rolled in. Last November being a typical example when the first 2 weeks were really quiet before the month ended a record total for the year.

Sellers in control need some positive to stop the rot.

It went to $163 m dollars 1 hour ago but has now reverted back to $159m.

Looking at the quarterly statistics, the most consistent growth rate is "Total projects submitted" compared to the end of the previous quarter. For the eight quarters that statistics have been given, the growth rate has been between 22% and 27%. Currently the figure is 13% higher than at the end of the fourth quarter - on target to fall again within that range.

Looking at the jobs section of the website, I rather think they should be reining back their opportunities, unless we see a decent move in projects tendered they should be scaling back their forecasts, otherwise there's going to be some layoffs down the line, either that or they will be sitting on their backsides twiddling their fingers!

[bookbroker] 11/2/2014 16:27

Looks like buyers have gone on strike here, appeared to have regained some upward momentum last week, however that looks somewhat transitory, we now seem to be looking at more downside!

[pyglet] 11/2/2014 11:54

Stuart37Good guess. Or it might not be what you say and a genuine slowdown.

[lauders] 11/2/2014 11:34

Well while we are still waiting for the news here is another snippet to read from the Blur news section of their website:



Starts off: "Philip Letts takes us under the hood of the tech 2.0 bubble, asking whether those fearing familiar decline have spotted some all-important differences.

One of the foremost enemies of progress is doubt. When risks are to be taken – regardless of size or nature – doubt lurks at the back of the minds of otherwise progressive businesses. We've been here before, and it all went wrong. Do we really want to take that risk again?"

I suspect that they are maybe having a few teething issues with the new platform - nothing to worry about and hopefully the pace will quicken once customers and experts alike get used to the new platform

[bookbroker] 11/2/2014 10:12

What's happened to the project flow, are we seeing a slowdown in projects submitted or is the co. deliberately slowing the flow as a result of current workload, we are nearly into mid-Feb. and we are at $45m for the Q1 against $64m for Q42013, pace needs to pick up as slowdown apparent!

[mustau] 11/2/2014 08:14

Let's hope for some news soon if not this will defo test 4.

[j777j] 10/2/2014 14:46

Nasty correction? Sure. Story remains compelling,I am holding these in the keep net expecting £20 a share in a couple of years,or a takeover by the likes of Ebay,possibly sooner.

I would say give it time. Patience will hopefully be rewarded. It shot off too far too soon and is now settling. Just waiting for these February announcements. That should bring some life back into the shares if they are any good! Each day that passes is one less to wait :-) Will see management credibility too since if no announcements this month it won't go down too well with some no doubt!

[hamidahamida] 10/2/2014 13:45

Price is depressed by big seller

[saturn5] 10/2/2014 12:43

this share is a right misery
after promising so much

[j777j] 10/2/2014 09:19

Lol,oh ye of little faith.

[bookbroker] 10/2/2014 09:17

Seems like pace of projects moderating, one week into Feb., and struggling to rise above £5.50 level!

[mustau] 08/2/2014 17:25

Didn't know there was a gap at 2, hope not but then again great price to take a few more.

Seems Letts has a lot of support, especially across the pond.
