Could you post the rns, b?

[bonio10000] 23/4/2018 07:05

Slightly odd RNS, as really an existing customer, but good 'news' nevertheless. Raising must be proceeding apace.

I wonder if AWS will try to buy FBT in the next 12 months?

That’s a good event to go to.

Deep infrastructure integration solutions.

Interview with Ian posted on Blackbird Twitter account. I can't seem to post it.

I prefer to look at the big picture that the shift to the Cloud by the media industry that is finally underway. The mindset of the industry towards the Cloud is changing.
That change in mindset always had to happen before real sales imho.

“Cloud is no longer a ‘maybe’ but a ‘given’ and conversations are shifting towards discussions of seamless migration. “

FBT threw a lot of time, effort and resources at NAB, with the tech updates, brand relaunch and increase in media engagement all geared to the start.

I hope it was beneficial for them financially and from a PR point of view.

All in All April has been, so far, a positive month for all connected to FBT...

That and the mythical e-commerce contract.

[chriscallen] 20/4/2018 07:43

On December 13th, 2017 the Company briefed shareholders "...in the past few months the Company has signed a number of exciting new PoCs in multiple regions and new sectors. This means that the Company now has the most PoCs it has ever had at any one time."

It must now be getting near the time that some of those PoCs can be expected to convert into firm contracts (accepting that one or two may have done so but without a reference to a PoC in the Press Release nobody knows)

A well written blog post about NAB.

Gnnmartin....I beg to differ that it is too soon for FBT to attend Mello. If Miton has nearly 15% the rest of us might like to find out why and what has changed in FBT in its quest to achieve profitability. I have read all the formal statements and would like to speak to them to judge how likely likely will they achieve breakeven/profit. The statement in 2016 was made by the previous CEO, not the new broom!

[gnnmartin] 19/4/2018 12:38

I think it is too early to present to Sharesoc or Mello. Both tend to be more interested in companies that are already showing signs of success, as in approaching profitability (at least) or growing fast.

I'm a long term holder of FBT, and still hopeful, but they have been making no money and on the point of taking off for .. how long is it now, 18 years?

Best to make the presentation when they have just broken even.

"I wonder if they are under-pricing Blackbird?"

chatting with a shareholder at the agm last year believed blackbird (aka forscene back then) was not priced cheaply in the marketplace. just that person's opinion but there you go.

A new way of investing:

- Buy shares at 20p on promises from company
- Hold onto shares while watching share price fall
- Buy shares at 10p on promises from company after they failed to deliver
- Hold onto shares while watching share price fall
- Invest more to average down your share price and think company is great

Add infinitum...

Lol you guys are so depressing

[mcsean2164] 18/4/2018 17:13

Well said Chris, otherwise I believe the term is swindle. Promise one thing deliver another.

[chriscallen] 18/4/2018 17:06

I'd rather believe that the BoD were telling me the truth. If I were in Miton's shoes I would be saying a definite no whilst the current BOD is in place. Only 2 or possibly 3 would survive the cull to get my vote. The rest are paid many times their value to the shareholders.

[nickb] 18/4/2018 16:38

Chris
You can nearly always buy in the market below the fundraising price

[chriscallen] 18/4/2018 15:13

Even for those who are believers a new round of fund raising will be an issue. It's not the money it's what the BoD said to raise the last lot. I can see a Class Action in the making. PIs have always been excluded before so what loyalty do they owe to SS and the company? Perhaps it is better sell to a takeover for 50p or even 25p than be scalped by IIs as is pretty well guaranteed to be the case on a restricted fundraising.
