how did you find that TA? Got a filter on RNS's? I need to set something like that up...

10p a share might be a bit optimistic right now, as it would imply a market cap of over £40m once all the warrants and options are taken into account.

But, stranger things have happened...

Still watching here, fallen back today on light volume so mm games really.

if i can get a decent amount under 2p i might have a punt here for old times sake.

[the analyst] 19/1/2010 16:55

Hi Norbus,

I think you might mean Dominic Wheatley, rather than Dennis. As far as I know, Dennis is Dominic's evil twin, resides in Bermuda and has no links to BGT. DYOR!

I think Dominic now spends most of his time in the US, setting up the US offices for BGT.

[carl79] 19/1/2010 16:16

agree digger - far to early to be realistically considering such a course of action imo but stranger things have happened i guess...

[digger27] 19/1/2010 16:13

Cant see them being taken out at this early stage of their development but would be delighted with 10p per share for all the pain and suffering caused by holding these for much longer than I anticipated.

[carl79] 19/1/2010 16:08

none whatsoever - not much for us to base that assumption on right now...suffice to say it would likely be a multiple of the current directors av holding price before it would get considered

[zanicker] 19/1/2010 15:55

Any thoughts on what price they could be taken out at. ?

[norbus] 19/1/2010 15:21

screaming shortage of stock. Dropping the price will not flush stock out.

[carl79] 19/1/2010 13:27

I think we are quite a ways off any take over talk but yes, given BGT's size, they will be a take over target for quite some time to come. My guess is that anyone with the cash and inclination to take over the company would first wait to start to see a return on investment. BGT would need to get profitable of course before that will really happen. The alternative is someone takes over the company with a view to changing or continuing the development themselves with a view to driving their own agenda be that what it may - but I think this a remote possibility...

The best thing for holders is a steady growth in the share price in tandem with a growth in the platform / premium user base and hopefully reduction is costs (or specifically, cost per network). Once BGT starts generating enough cash flow to wash its own face we can all breathe a sigh of relief because any T/O would likely be at a good premium given the fact that a lot of risk will have been eliminated.

I would personally like to see the current team take BGT to new highs and would not welcome a T/O any time soon

[lobo] 19/1/2010 13:12

Ok, but odd because thats not listed here...

[77monty] 19/1/2010 12:07

- they do own these guys.

[lobo] 19/1/2010 12:05

As for the "lightbulb moment", there is always the possibility of a TO. For example, just look at Google's long list of internet tools/apps and the gaping hole is social networking!

Maybe I should write to google support pleading for an SN app. :)

[carl79] 19/1/2010 11:49

i'd second that...dont think we'll see any numbers though until they are due which is not for a while yet...

We all know that they are consistently growing the network base so as TA mentions on the stats thread, if they can just increase the % of premium sites we have a sure fire winner here.

They are going after premium sites and that is the clear mgt ethos but at 1% (assumed) premium take up, they are not doing any better than one would expect had there been no focus on premium - ie, they are not beating the industry average which they will need to address unless they are content to operate Ning's model of just having millions of free networks draining resource but not paying their way...I am confident that they will improve this ratio significantly and think VB does as well hence his decision to come on board. I think there will eventually be a lightbulb moment when the market just "gets" it and when that happens the share price will explode. You only need to make a handfull of comparisons to Ning before you feel like we are greatly undervalued - BUT - there is a caveat and that is that you agree with Nings Valuation!

[haff1] 19/1/2010 10:03

...lets have some news please....

[carl79] 19/1/2010 09:52

exactly, you could make a mint trading the spikes or you could miss out on the "big one" that we all want desparately - another 2p - 20p would be fine thanks! lol...

But back to reality, with no news flow I always expected an unchallenged sell off at some point

[haff1] 19/1/2010 09:49

..yeah..who knows...eh!

[carl79] 19/1/2010 09:41

not rocket science haff - unless someone with deep pockets who has made their mind up to buy a chunk keeps taking stock, then without news people will bank profits and the share price will slip. I don't think that the buying is quite done yet, my hunch is someone was after a significant stake and we have seen no announcements yet so perhaps a touch more to go...I would not sell just yet but then i am not 50% up on my investment so obviously have a different mentality...

one thing for sure though, when BGT moves it moves quickly and selling just to buy back lower is a very risky move if indeed you do think it will make a big success of SocialGo

[haff1] 19/1/2010 09:17

..things dont go up in straight lines .... but this seems to have all sales this morning ...hope the momentum is not lost....

[norbus] 19/1/2010 08:28

It will be good to see what news and trends were underneath Vickram joining the party here. If that be March, then so be it. It could just be the trend they all noticed,...
Glad you see logic why Vickram has to make BGT play a bigger game, and get them the dosh to play. They will never get noticed in the tiddler pool.

I had expected to make use of the platform, but was told that Dennis Wheatley was in USA last week and Alex Halliday would call me which he did not , yet. It is not rocket science to see the vast applications that an interactive platform can be used for. Think schools, Clubs, big companies, and on and on..

[carl79] 18/1/2010 22:59

ok I'll keep an eye out...
