Couldn't agree more TT. You pay for quality, you will get results.

I don't know what the going rate for a CEO is at the moment, but Lorne Abony does seem to get paid a lot - £250k plus a bonus of £100k, plus an allowance for a PA, plus an office allowance, plus health insurance, plus the options. Personally I don't usually question what Directors pay themselves as long as they deliver value for shareholders, so I will refrain from further comment until the next set of accounts is published - and let's see where the share price is at that time.:-)

[cyberbub] 22/8/2016 14:02

The main thing that troubles me about FFWD is that the directors get paid plenty of money (£1.2M in the last accounts) while also awarding themselves substantial options. Surely in this sort of investing company they would be better incentivised by the latter alone?

Excellent update. I am well underwater but not at all concerned and I intend to keep adding when I can. We are the early birds here!

Agree doodlebug4. Websites and efficiency are my pet-hates/loves. A good website and good management/efficiency is wonderful. Few companies seem to focus on this aspect. In the end I am sure the news will do the talking here and if/when rafboy is correct with his potential for Yooya comment the website will not really matter, but it would be nice to see ALL the pieces come together.

[rafboy] 22/8/2016 12:02

Another 15k for me at 12.4p each just now. This morning's update was excellent and the potential for Yooya especially is mind boggling.

[doodlebug4] 22/8/2016 11:37

I'm perhaps being too critical here, but I still think the company isn't quite on the ball with various aspects of their marketing. One example is the website, which isn't showing the latest RNS from this morning and the "blog" also looks rather neglected. The website is FFWD's shop window and just the same as any high street store if the shop window doesn't look appealing the customers wont bother to walk through the front door.

Research note that has just been circulated by Equity development this morning

They just need a trigger, a sale one one of the investments will be it IMO until then we may remain a bit under the radar.. Nice support at 11-12p so a good point to add with limited downside IMHO.

[rafboy] 22/8/2016 08:52

Surprised we have not seen more than one buy this morning. I suspect we are very much under the radar at the moment. No doubt this will change going forward.

[888icb] 22/8/2016 08:18

We have seen this above 20p earlier in the year and on the basis of the very positive news flow I would hope to see it heading in that direction again in the coming weeks.

[trotterstrading] 22/8/2016 08:11

I'm going to keep adding on weakness here. FFrwd being overlooked by the market for now, but I think we could be in for a very exciting end to the year

[wolf9] 22/8/2016 07:53

and a good size holding in yooya

[trotterstrading] 22/8/2016 07:51

What I like about the RNS is its focus on monetisation in the near term! This is key for me. Yooya doubling revenues and in talks with F500 companies re partnerships is also very good news

[wolf9] 22/8/2016 07:37

way undervalued here, all investments mentioned could generate significant income

[888icb] 22/8/2016 07:28

A very positive update on 4 of the company's investments.

[trotterstrading] 22/8/2016 07:12

Very Nice Update
