Nah; they're all being duped by Rapacious Ron! Ain't that right conspiracy theorists? Whooooahh - spooky!

Directors buying again, something on the horizon I think

tomboyb,

You can't stop automation.

Exactly and that also means that today's product becomes tomorrow's has been.

I have always pointed out that first mover doesn't necessarily mean success, it is the one that gains critical mass the quickest. History is littered with battles where the better product lost out to an inferior product which had a quicker roll out to market and gained the upper hand.

Can't stop Automation -

It will happen it just a question of when - Timing, however is everything.

On interesting quote from a poster is on a different note on Jack Ma

Jack Ma on emerging economies in particular China - When asked about how AliBaba became so successful one of the reasons cited was that in the US for example, buying products online having them delivered to you was the "dessert of a meal"

That was because the infrastructure in the US is pretty good and one can simply go out and buy good in necessary -

However in China this "click" process when building AliBaba became the "main course" in China - This is due to the infrastructure or lack of it -

I see that in emerging economies, the biggest example and potential being India -

Plasybryn,

No I am not in regular contact with Nick, he felt due to his position within CBUY to post or contact people would be counterproductive, even though people would know he was unable to say anything they would still expect something and so better to keep away from that.

Nick is a sensible and honourable person, however I do think looking back my scepticism was warranted and he went in a little naively (in terms of finance needs and time to get a foothold), however, he knows what he is doing and always believed there was a market for emarketplaces.

A couple of years down the line, it will still be the case but there are others out there now and end customers have been slow to accept the new technology (ultimately because it will cost a lot of buyers/sellers their jobs). Turkeys voting for Christmas?

Apologises - I inadvertantly meant 770k shares in cloudbuy -

From what I can see, all or most jobs recently advertised for cloudbuy have now all gone, so this may be the marketplace, infrastructure, website building phase -

And there were quite a few jobs on offer -

The management infrastructure seems much more solid now -

New office in silicon Valley - Maybe gives an indication of getting the cloudbuy name up there are perhaps private equity

[plasybryn] 25/6/2015 08:33

Hi troutisout:
Can you tell us a bit more? Are you in regular contact with Nick?
From what you are hearing are we all sensible to remain supportive or living in cloud cuckoo land.
Would be great if you could say a tiny bit more!

[troutisout] 25/6/2015 08:33

tomboy,

Rather misleading above and I am sure you don't mean it that way but he owns 770,909 shares, they are not worth 770k.

[troutisout] 25/6/2015 08:18

Nick is still very much there, but won't be spilling the beans.

He is the main reason I still keep a long term interest in this share.

[tomboyb] 25/6/2015 08:15

Thats another 50K gone through at 26p -

Patrick Broughton now owns 770k worth of shares -

[jxman] 25/6/2015 08:14

Anyone remember nick? Went of to work for the company and stopped posting. Wonder if he's still there? Come on nick spill the beans.

[ramas] 25/6/2015 08:07

Yep the EFH deal makes me angry and IMO a huge red flag

[troutisout] 25/6/2015 07:43

Trying to kick it away from the lows and margin call territory. It feels orchestrated.
If there was no EFH over RD's head, we couldn't feel that way.

On the other hand that is a substantial chunk of shares for a Non Exec to buy.

Trout.

Funnily enough just down the road from VISA Inc HQ in Foster City.

[jxman] 22/6/2015 11:59

Beware of chump. He was saying tungsten were a buy at £3 !!

[rock star] 21/6/2015 19:33

Of cause there is if the VISA deal goes t*ts up! CBUY is a lower risk proposition than TUNG which is burning a lot of cash. Also CBUY market cap is relatively low.
The new FD had no need to buy shares and obviously likes what he sees. All his previous companies have been taken over. Let's hope that happens here in 2/3 years time.

[yump] 21/6/2015 19:22

The reason the shares have not performed is not because of directors share schemes, whether they are right or wrong, fair or unfair.

Some folk seem very confused between cause and effect here.

If you look at what would HAVE to happen in potential customer organisations for CBUY to reap decent rewards and then ask how much effort and how many steps that would take - you'll be closer to the answer.

[harebridge] 21/6/2015 10:21

Is there a chance that this could collapse like TUNG?

[skasher094] 18/6/2015 23:31

When it's to late to buy cheap

[troutisout] 18/6/2015 23:31

I wonder if RD lent him the cash to buy, if it keeps the share price away from margin call territory it is worth it for RD....LOL

As I said previously every time the price hits a certain level, newsflow starts to seep out.

Still not sure whether this has the legs to withstand margin call targeting, the company (RD) can try all he can but eventually he will not be able to spi his way out of it, he put himself in this situation he should take shareholders out of it.
but no instead issue more options to the Duncans.....

[harebridge] 18/6/2015 23:22

A part of me wants in big again. The other part of me says don't get emotionally involved with CBUY again.I do keep an eye here, but resits just get worse every time.Has anybody got an idea of when revenues are to go through the roof?

[lefrene] 18/6/2015 16:54

A £32k gesture, nice to see it. Has he made a good investment? He of all people should be in a position to know what's really going on, but he hasn't exactly mortgaged his house and gone large. Whereas the Duncans mortgaged the company to go large on a house!
