@sweenoid - if I rightly remember, Future's CEO and CFO took a week to respond to the Stockviews report, that saw the share price nose dive in June/July. When it did come, it was a fairly robust statement of Future's solid financals, no rebuttal as such. I'm expecting the same thia time - Zilla will probably only address this at the AGM, not before.

The Shadowfall report seems to be completely underestimating the potential for FUTRs newly acquired titles once they have been digitalised and put on their ecommerce platform. FUTR has already announced that clicks were up 44% yoy so the company is clearly growing. At this price the market hasn't attributed any value to the TI acquisition which has huge potential once digitalised. This report seems to be more about the timing ie just before a possible positive Feb update, rather than any miraculous new content. As with the stockviews report, it seems FUTR will probably ignore it as nothing more than an opinion piece with little substance.

It’s interesting that Shadowfall and Muddy Waters use Fridays to release their ‘analysis’
Did the same with IQE, but of course in IQE’s case it was a joint attack

I think they do that to ensure management are blindsided, also they can rely on the British financial press to ‘report’ it in such a way that always seems supportive of the shorter, spreading extra anxiety to shareholders. In IQE’s case the main accusation and attack was onthe integrity and honesty of the board along with so called dubious accounting, in Futures case it’s main thrust is that the levels of organic growth are being misrepresented, in essence disingenuous accounting.

After their attacks The IQE board went into ‘lockdown’ along with their Nomads over the weekend and issued a strong rebuttal, point by point but the damage had been done

I would be very disappointed in the Future board does not do the same, waiting even a few days for the AGM is TOO long.

I have no investment here, I have been watching and waiting, so I guess this is an opportunity for me? I shall be very vigilant, if The CEO can’t mount a strong aggressive defence on an attack on her and the BOD’s integrity backed up with facts, I shall stay well away. I sincerely hope I will be investing

In the meantime, expect the Sunday Times et al to put the boot in tomorrow, here’s what today’s Times had to say- using Director sales as the last sentence leaves the reader rather sceptical


Of course the FSA and regulators won’t be seen or act...whatever the outcome! :-(

FUTR don't usually provide a trading update at AGM's. Suspect Zillah will have something to say this year.

The Shadowfall report seems to be a rehash of the Stockviews piece from last June. The methodology for measuring organic growth can clearly be twisted in all sorts of ways to support a bullish or bearish view so its surprising to see the market falling for the same old arguments again. As before, this looks like a buying opportunity so will be adding on Monday hopefully before the rebound gets going

Been here before with FUTR unfortunately when MW attacked last June. Let them make their money, see the drop as an entry point for new investors to come in and ride it out. TechRadar.com traffic is +47% Vs Jan-19. These guys aren't going anywhere.

Hi, I have now suffered the triple whammy of IQE, NMC and now FUTR.
In this case because someone doubts the ingenuity of the CEO? No he/they don't, just immoral share manipulation.
If I could only get my hands around.......!
Never mind, Monday beckons.
GLA.

PS
Thanks S for all the informative posts on IQE

Shadowfall and Muddy Waters specialise is this sort of underhand jiggers- pokery. Mud sticks and they trowel it on

Their actions are perfidious and imho are often combined with an orchestrated short attack by ‘friendly̵7; hedge funds . They get II’s, do their damage and retire far richer, and plan the next company to ‘hit’

There is never seemingly any comeback, they spread the muck, profit and escape.

That’s capitalism folks ...and sometimes it stinks

Don't underestimate the impact of the Shadowfall report. Whether it is right or wrong doesn't matter, it is the perception that counts. Look at past experience.

IQE's share price now is some 35% of its value when Shadowfall first published their report.

First Derivatives? 68%

Burford ? only 38%

All that despite massive publicity and threat of litigation by the companies to prove them wrong.

So FUTR holders, I would learn from this and decide what to do next. Right now the share price is 15% down.

Declaration: I am neither short nor long, thanks g*d.

Expect no news or statement from FUTR until the AGM next Wednesday IMO.
Their way of saying "why bother?"

Thanks Napoleon. So nothing new then. As you say we've been here before when Stockviews questioned whether the move to the new advertising platform solution would damage the client base and then got proved completely wrong on the traffic statistics.
Expect a response from Futr either before close or first thing Monday (hopefully with an ahead statement which should be due anyway if last year is anything to go by).

Alpha - Mat Earl short on FUTR - "a collection of generally low quality, often distinct & shrinking assets" published in FT & Twitter.

This is just a rinse & repeat of last summer's effort.
Squeaky bum time for a few days, then we discover "Who dares, wins"
