and yes I have got a few (now almost worthless) shares knocking around in a SIPP.....message to the bod....I retire in 16 years time...so it would be appreciated if you can add a security camera to the range within that timeframe!

[gozo] 20/12/2018 17:36

I haven't been brave enough to watch it yet lol....had quite a nice day so might leave it for another time...or ask for it to be shown at the agm.

It’s been a long time since I posted, but I’m gobsmacked they think this a good advert!

Not only doesn’t it show the classy products but, as said above, it reduces the Smart family to wooden characters, who nobody would recognise as anything to do with Trumpton (even if they’re old enough to remember the ol show) if it wasn’t for the voiceover, the only decent thing about it!

I can only hope people send it viral showing all their friends how ‘bad’ is done (‘so bad it’s good’) with a wink at the old adage no news is bad news...

At least they finally realised they should be trying to reach their customer base, even if they obviously don’t know who they are! ;-)

Market cap £5m. Bet they have turnover of that in 2019.

[whoppy] 20/12/2018 15:39

Bet that 40k trade was a director. Mr Gamble having another gamble..He's already up on the last two. Follow the shrewd money from someone in the know, or miss out!

[whoppy] 20/12/2018 15:37

You can see the reversal coming. It moves quick. Paying 7.49p now. It will soon be 10p plus and even then it will still be bombed out. Why do you think Mr Gamble bought. Maybe he likes a gamble..get it! Lol.

[whoppy] 20/12/2018 15:35

Hurry up and buy some shares. This will do well in 2019.

Apple are just watching what Lightwave can do at the mo.

[whoppy] 20/12/2018 15:24

I told you, Apple will take this over and be the preferred smart switch and socket suppler for new homes in the UK and possibly Europe. I presume Lightwave will be doing an EU smart plug socket. Lightwave are the only company that do switches and sockets that are Apple approved, and so with that, you have to use Lightwave protocol. Don't they have the patents for sockets and plugs? Lightwave is the best SmartHome kit out there.

If you really know the matket, your know the bigger whoopsie is turning the lights off when you go out. Leaving sockets on with irons and hair straighters is a much bigger to people. Security sells (Fear sale) .. A huge selling feature of the technology is to create simulated occupancy to protect your home. Turning a nightlight on is very weak use case compared with that application. Like I said, this content appears to be created by people who don't really understand what drives the market, currently. Look at the Hive home blog and compare the use cases there. I'll leave it to CT to follow up with a message about being careful what you tread in with the lights out and a dog at home.

[whoppy] 20/12/2018 14:04

Yes leaving the lights on is a bit of a Whoopsie for some people..Lol
Let's hope Watson doesn't do one while they are out!
Can't wait for the next episode :)

Sales have been going well last quarter of the y/e and the first quarter for Oct-Dec are 25-35% up on that. So by the interims, probably be looking at revenue equal to 12 months this year. They haven't got traction yet really, so just the start, imo.

[sinkyj] 20/12/2018 13:58

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hN-IBV6qsQgThere you go Whoppy, more content.They look like something an ad agency would create to pitch for a full TV ad campaign without fully understanding the market for the products or target customer. The designed and engineered in Great Britain is a cheeky little take on the Apple line.If you were a very well known somebody like an Electricity Utility and you wanted to introduce the smart home concept to your wider customer base then this is the sort of thing you'd run. Very generic solutions. Maybe this is part of a pitch to such a company by lightwave. However, If you were a small UK company hoping to build your brand and sell to wealthy individuals who will pay for installation or early adopters then it misses the mark by a long way. As MG said the last content was way more appropriate. Generally it's best to show solutions to people's problems, security, occupancy, energy saving or just looking cool, that's the angle Hive Home use now. They have 950,000 more customers than lightwave. https://www.hivehome.com/blog/connected-home/smart-ways-to-use-hive-in-your-home I'm not a marketing expert by any means but the lightwave shareholder statements and output just seem to be at odds. It's just part of the problem of with the company, shareholders not knowing what the company are trying to do, this month . Not sure the whole company does.I think you are a bit harsh on Mr Gamble , he does reinvest some of his winnings back at the tables. Don't hold your breath for the others to follow.

:O)

It's not though is it?

It's an upcoming placing!

[whoppy] 20/12/2018 12:34

Calm down Dear. It's just a commercial...Lol

[mg78] 20/12/2018 12:25

"Can't wait for the next episode."

Then you're a very sad case, whoppy!

"If Meerkats can be used for adverts, why not Trumpton."

But it's not trumpton! And it has nothing of the novelty or wit of Wallace and Gromit.

+ users do not want to be tinkering with screwdrivers!

[whoppy] 20/12/2018 12:19

Now we've got that off our chests, I thought it's quite good. The Smarts family. Can't wait for the next episode. I wonder what they'll be doing. I'd love to see it on TV. If Meerkats can be used for adverts, why not Trumpton. Maybe Wallace and Gromit can meet the Smarts and do a video. They might be neighbours. That dog is always tinkering with a screwdriver.

[mg78] 20/12/2018 11:03

And don't take any heart from Barry Gamble's share purchases. His past purchases are by no means a yardstick of good entry points.

I think this company now has real issues.

Over and out.

[mg78] 20/12/2018 11:01

phowdo - radiator valves and hub maybe. Very BL. But the switches are GOOD and look GOOD. But they are not enough.

Strategy has all been wrong here.

It's a shame the original JS partnership was broken up and the wrong man came in when he did.

I put a lot of blame on to the shoulders of ML. My opinion. Some may disagree.

The fact that he is still taking a salary is not good enough imo.

[mg78] 20/12/2018 10:58

I have watched the film again and it doesn't get any better.

It also suggests 'how to have a completely 'remote' relationship with your child'

Terrible and sad.

I might buy 1 share just to gain access to the next AGM to put a rocket under this shower.

WHAT are they thinking?

The original LWRF promo film is so much better. At least the actors are vaguely believable and their home vaguely aspirational to the masses. The people also look like a proper interacting and interactive family.

I dread to think what this animation cost and WHAT exactly the BOD think this film does which their original film doesn't.

[mg78] 20/12/2018 10:52

You can't expect people to buy into this, LWRF.

They wont.
