Just bought 60000@10.61. Showing as a sale, not a purchase. Hopefully some news on the horizon that will see this take off.

Surprised there wasn't a FFWD news announcement about Medici's investment in Factom a few days ago. FFWD's 3.64% of Factom at the current valuation - US$30m - works out at US$1,092,000. Nice!

Thank you for that post, 6007, cottoner.

Might get one of those late US timed RNS statements along those lines today or at least an "update" next week with hopefully other updates? The news was mentioned here a few days ago I think.

Welcome aboard kristini. This is all about Lorne Abony now rather than Jim Mellon although both are obviously involved.

[kristini2] 10/2/2017 11:46

I have just taken a modest position here, it must be trading at NAV and the next news more likely to me positive for the share price.

Theses fund often trade at discounts so if it falls I'll add......

Jim is involved with PEBI and the biotec fund has a NAV of 11 p last updated, and the shares are at 6p...................K2

According to Strauss, there are “something like 250 million people who avidly consume competitive gaming events, (and) the revenue associated with the business (of) competitive gaming is still relatively small – it’s about half a billion dollars.”

As Silver and NBA officials were well aware, that figure is growing by the day.

“It’s expected to grow rapidly,” Strauss continued. “We fully believe that it will be well over a billion dollars as a market in the near future. Of that 250 million person audience worldwide, about half that audience - about 125 million people - are avid consumers of competitive gaming. They watch competitive gaming events, largely online. And this is nascent. It’s just beginning.”

Looking at the trades from today, there was an impressive series of sustained buying, so ordinarily we would have expected a tick up. But then mid afternoon 1504, someone dumped 200k shares to kill the rally. I assume that was a sell at 10.5p. Pity that :(Hope to get some striking news soon for real lift off. We need to get back into the teens at least!

Shall vest "after" 12 months - not "within" 12 months. Or has the cold weather numbed my brain?!

[doodlebug4] 08/2/2017 15:30

From the RNS dated 19 February 2016. I think this means that the 25% is effective after 19 February 2017?

"Following the grant of the Options, 50 per cent. of the Options shall
vest immediately, 25 per cent. of the Options shall vest after 12 months (subject to the weighted average price of the Company’s ordinary shares rising above £0.25 for ten consecutive trading days), and the balance of 25 per cent. shall vest after 24 months (subject to the weighted average price of the Company’s ordinary shares rising above £0.35 for ten consecutive trading days).

All buys today then but all showing as sells lol. Lauders, bearing in mind tech IPO valuations and tech sales including apps, the option prices could be met in the blink of an eye in my opinion from either Schoold or Leap . The BoD are obviously well aware of this.

[moormoney] 08/2/2017 15:18

Still at 10.73p.

[lauders] 08/2/2017 15:00

Depends whether the directors are set to get those option awards or will let them pass I guess. Time is running out.

[moormoney] 08/2/2017 14:57

But again thanks for posting your updates regularly. We can work out how well ffwd are doing with their investments but until the company start revealing this and informing the markets we will continue to flat line. Having said this I'm in for more today as it can't continue much longer ....can it???

Another top up for me. This one at 10.73p. Incredibly low share price currently!

[rafboy] 08/2/2017 07:18

The real value of our holdings is increasing and so should the share price soon.

[doodlebug4] 07/2/2017 22:38

Yes TT, that's a nice increase in Factom's valuation since FFWD paid $400,000 for a 3.64% stake in October 2014.

[trotterstrading] 07/2/2017 22:24

Nice find DB. I think Factom will double in value again within 12 months, great company.

Stocks tend to fall further than you think on the way down, very strong support at 10p though which is the absolute floor IMO. I'm currently rejigging my PF to free up funds for FFWD. I think the real Fireworks will start here late Feb

This is a long article, but worth reading.
