Wasn't going to post again, but I'd forgotten the website was down on Wednesday. There was a reason:-

hxxp://www.stilo.com/

Very swish new website. Very Professional. This is the time to invest imo. Things are getting interesting.

I'm getting a very good feeling about the next couple of years. Only problem for newbies will be the share price spread and volume. Appears to have moved 5% upwards on less than 100,000 shares traded (less than £5000)?.

That's definitely it from me this time. Have a good one.

and of course, I'm looking forward to my divi on Tuesday! :) Have a good weekend.

Thats correct stl

So called bright individuals are calling shares wrong time and time again , and givibg the air that they are experts in their field and misleading the uninitiated.

Some take on the air of experts , but are just plain rampers, and they deserve all the name calling they get. But i doubt it hurts them. They simply want to make a profit at the expense of others and they dont care who they hurt in that process.

I can name on or two of them.

Name calling ? - very very very low priority indeed.

Surely everyone is guesting the time scales the AGM stated no meaningful revenues for 2017 but the issues may be resolved in months not years ??

[stilolosses] 19/5/2017 11:43

Totally agree. Such a shame.

[escapetohome] 19/5/2017 11:25

I personally do not pay very much attention to name calling at all, just gloss over it. Of far less import than deceptive posts here.

Not high up in my list of priorities. Appalling? Well , sticks and stones can break my bones .....

I have found the most important principle is not really to take to heart the arguments on the bb and be sure to make up my own mind.

It is very worrinying that experts seem to be wrong time and time again.

[stilolosses] 19/5/2017 11:14

Incidentally, the AGM statement mentioned special dividends etc which sounded great. It wouldn't be the first time a company has said this in order to keep people on board. I have seen companies mention this before only to turn round and not to do it or not to do it for a very long time at least.

[stilolosses] 19/5/2017 10:47

Oh my gosh! No way Clock. Those days are well behind. The only spanner in the works as from yesterday was the amount of time it is going to take to get Authorbrdige completely ready and completely marketed and accepted.

Mud has a tremendous amount of knowledge and expertise and was spot on with many, many things but on those all important revenues and profits and product pace he was a long way off as has proved to be the case over the years. Of course, the nail in the coffin being yesterday.

[stilolosses] 19/5/2017 10:40

I have just added some more thoughts to my post above.

I just wish that Stilo had managed to do by now what all of us have been hoping and waiting for many years now. If Migrate, Omnimark and now Authorbridge had done what we were all hoping for then we would all have been a much happier bunch by now rather than continuing to play the waiting game.

[clocktower] 19/5/2017 10:34

Always good to here from you SL but muds views were also very valuable and resulted in a balanced view and gave rise to profits over time.

I would not be surprised to see this sink back to the 3p level in due course SL, and maybe the directors will look for a sale.

[escapetohome] 19/5/2017 10:31

I would agree you got the slow growth right prediction right.

But you are playing both sides of the coin.

That is advantageous because for whichever outcome , pos or negative , you can draw out previous argument from either side of the coin.

Well done.

[stilolosses] 19/5/2017 10:23

Lol Clock. Mud is one of those characters in life who unfortunately insist on wanting to win the argument all the time and disagree just for the sake of it. Me and Mud, as you know, had many long winded arguments over the last few years about the speed in which Stilo would be able to bring their products to market and about the level of revenues that they would be able to generate. Initially I was a seller and over time I saw the potential in Stilo and became a buyer.

Trust me Mud has still sitting his holdings and the only reason that he does not post in here is because if he is wrong with his facts, I would be the first one to pull him on it as I did nearly all the time. He was also right on a lot of things but on the main points on Migrate, Omnimark and Authorbridge's speed of revenue growth I have been absolutely spot on to date. Growth yes but at a very slow level. Now with Authorbridge, the main one now, this is 18 months to 2 years away as mentioned by another poster.

It is going to take a bleeding lot of time to get the product ready completely and then they have to go out there and market it properly. They are marketing it now but how much marketing can you do when it is not even ready properly? Not a lot as mentioned in the AGM yesterday.

Absolutely every single potential customer who tries Authorbridge is going to say absolutely nothing else than saying "it is bleeding brilliant" but for various reasons, time scales in getting the product ready, customer spending restraints, customer's level of movement alongside Stilo's etc, etc, etc results in absolutely huge delays. Years in this case.

When Stilo started talking about Authorbridge back in the day, then started to develop it in 2014, I can absolutely guarantee that never in their wildest dreams did they ever think that this late on in 2017 the product would still not be ready. Lets not forget they have been working with IBM with this for a few years and yet the product is still not ready. Stilo never thought this would be the case up to now. Like I have been saying for a while these things take years and not months.

Why are they paying a dividend then?

Are they fools?

Simple common sense to stop the divi!

[slartybartfaster] 19/5/2017 00:05

A placing needed here to tidy up the balance sheet and ramp up sales which cost.

'Following the launch of AuthorBridge v2.0 in February 2017, we have been receiving very encouraging feedback from trial users. However, there are still some important aspects of development that need to be undertaken over the coming months'
more r&d costs then and delays. drop & brick spring to mind.

Another good call from the guru.

[clocktower] 18/5/2017 22:14

SL - I guess mud slung his hook some time ago and maybe just kept a few to remain an interested party but this was on the cards when they moved HQ to USA imo.

[stilolosses] 18/5/2017 19:19

Oh dear! Oh dear! 18 to 24 more months of bleeding waiting!

I have absolutely no pleasure in saying that Product 1 Omnimark is about 20 years late and though it generates around a £million and the chunk of revenues it never did take off in the last 20 years.

Product 2 Migrate is about 10 years late as it started life around 10 years ago and though this has been raising a few hundred thousand pounds, this too has never taken off.

Product 3 Authorbridge was supposed to have already been raising some additional decent revenues but since going into development in 2014 it is now going to be at least 2018 before we see any meaningful revenues which is a bleeding shame.

I am certainly a holder. My gains have been wiped out but I am more than happy to sit on these and wait for the next year or 2. Disappointing for all but it does not detract from what Stilo is all about.

lukead (filtered) lifes too short

Not seen any ramping , just seen enthusiasm for a company that is going to be 18-24 months behind some of the more optimistic expectations & where current trading has disappointed in underlying terms.

Some will see that as dead money & sell now , others as an opportunity ..
