Pay rates for the job advertised yesterday.

That tells us a great deal as if one looks around the room on the TWEET you can not but notice the age of the team.

These are the go getters of today.

"Although the market research industry was founded over ninety years ago, there still remains a large opportunity for methods that are able to capture the gap between what consumers SAY they do and what they actually DO"

It's Two years old and it's not BIG SOFA

Roll on two years and who did the choose?

BST

[pet lover] 14/7/2017 08:24

This helps to explain why Unilever Worldwide chose BST.

[pet lover] 14/7/2017 06:41

Can the Trolls give me one good reason why BST could not go on and gain 2%, 3% or even 5% market share in very quick order. ?

[pet lover] 14/7/2017 06:31

Morning all.

BST said average value of each survey has jumped from £5,000 to £15,000 in the last 6 months.

Take some time to think about that.

The trend is clearly up.

Going forward BST only need to win 100 surveys a month, on a repeat basis, around the world to produce £1.5M of revenue per month.

Now put that into context :

Would the total number of surveys each month from the 3 big agreements signed to date be:

1,000, 10,000 or 100,000.?

Realistically it's going to come in well over 10,000 a month of which BST needs just 1%.

Since it's the clients themselves that have chosen to use BST they will be the driving force.

To sum up BST are addressing a massive client IN HOUSE MARKET through these new agreements singed in the last 3 months.

On top of this BST has income from software sales sold to other parties, and yet more to come through new contracts yet to be signed.

A salesmans dream is to Bag the biggest. BST has done just that. Next, the USA team pick the remaining fruit, in the next few months.

But what we do know is that these global agreements will and probably already are delivering a step up in revenues which will re-rate the share price when the market finally see's the potential here. This is a very bullish statement from Simon.


Simon Lidington, Chief Executive Officer of Big Sofa, commented:

"The year culminated in our listing on AIM and the fundraising that enabled us to accelerate the commercialisation of our technology and the development of a material pipeline of business.

"With an even stronger foundation of blue-chip customers to build-upon, I am pleased to say that we are making excellent progress against our strategic objectives and signs of this are beginning to be reflected in current trading.

"I believe that the outlook for Big Sofa is extremely positive and anticipate that our existing partnerships with P&G, Unilever, Ipsos, SC Johnson and SSI will deliver material revenue during the current financial year.

"Big Sofa is exceptionally well-placed to capitalise on the vast opportunity that exists to help consumer brands and research agencies make genuine use of the large quantities of video content they are generating. We have received significant industry validation in a short space of time, as reflected in the three-year Master Service Agreement with Ipsos, a global partnership with P&G, a continuing global partnership with Unilever and the numerous relationships developing with new global clients.

"I look forward to reporting on further milestones as we work to build a profitable business of scale."

How much are these three new contracts worth? (facts not finger in the air) and when 2018/19/20?DDps they don't know so don't expect any PI's to know either!.

[bumpa33] 13/7/2017 21:08

Smart - there's been steady buying with minimal movement in sp, as there's a seller (with the MM Cantor) happy to let them go at this level

[smart_investor] 13/7/2017 19:56

Interesting we have three offices based in the USA.

From the final results RNS: 'Our US office was opened in Philadelphia, PA in March 2017 - with sub-offices in Chicago and Cincinnati - to accelerate customer traction in the region. This has led to growth in our interaction with potential blue-chip clients and has brought the Company strong capabilities in sales, account management and operations.'

These three offices have been up and running now for at least 4 months so I am expecting soon to see these potential blue chip clients we may have won over. Especially as they say the US offices has brought the company strong capabilities in sales.

[hazl] 13/7/2017 18:55

But agree about lloyds also speculative l think.

[hazl] 13/7/2017 18:43

I think it's very sensible to only get a few in speculative stocks captain.

[smart_investor] 13/7/2017 18:16

Hi Bumpa33What do you mean 'taking advantage of the line that Cantor have'Sorry I don't understand

[bumpa33] 13/7/2017 18:14

Smart_investor - there is clearly a slow accumulation going on here taking advantage of the line that Cantor have. How much they've got I don't know, for obvious reasons they tend to be cagey on that score...

Telling a new investor to buy Banks when the only way rates can go is up .!!

The drug addiction of debt (CAUSED BY THE BANKS) is outrageous.

Rates are at 300 year lows.

History shows us time and time again it will end in War.

Any investment book from more than 40 years ago put a ceiling of a PE of 6 on the banks and builders for very good reason.

Each time the cycle comes around they get smashed.

TOFFEEMAN

Just goes to show how very dim you are.

Loan quality is the key to continued profits.

That quality is very very poor when tested against higher interest rates.

The world is running on borrowed money, that will, as we all know NEVER be paid back.

The governments of the world will nationalise the banks and shareholders will be left with ZERO.

I have been tracking the block buys which in my opinion are certain buys.

They are listed below.

Since 10th July when I noticed this buy price action the buyer has picked up 700k worth of shares. Not bad for 4 trading days. Thats just over 1% of the company. At 3% we will see a holdings RNS should they keep going.

Look out for similar block trades tomorrow. Someone with big pockets wants in.

Captain, you can do it my son, don't ever get held back by others who live in fear.


: "One shareholder "hugged and kissed me" at the company's Aug. 3 annual meeting, Chief Executive Officer Klas Nilsson, 69, said in an interview in The Lancasters' model apartment. The grateful investor bought 10,000 pounds ($16,000) of Northacre stock when it languished at 2 pence, an investment that was worth 612,500 pounds at yesterday's closing price."

Toffeeman:

Very poor advice for a new investor.

1/ The banks just about broke the world economy, have more bad loans than all the tea in China, and are run by crooks.

Chasing income is about as silly as jumping of a cliff.

2/ The chap says he is new the game.He wants to make his millions.

3/ How dare you take that hope away from anyone, just because your absolutely gutless yourself.

[smart_investor] 13/7/2017 16:55

bad_captain

Are you the big buyer who is sweeping up all the stock over the past few days?

I see two more 50k trades today and also just published on L2 an after hours 100k buy at 26.55p

[toffeeman] 13/7/2017 16:52

If you are indeed new to investing I would suggest that BST is the wrong stock for you to start with.

Something like LLOY is much safer and is likely to generate a decent income as well as capital growth.

If you are merely an incognito BST ramper then feel free to ignore me :)
