Stilo Share Discussion Threads

[stilolosses] 20/1/2018 11:10

One of the main reasons as to why Stilo's full year numbers for 2016 was good was due to the US dollar being strong against the pound so in 2016 the numbers turned out to much more pleasant than originally anticipated.

We all know how the exchange rate has been less favourable of late for Stilo and when they report their 2017 end of year results in about 5 to 6 weeks time I do not expect anything significant in terms of growth.

If this does turn out to be the case, I have no doubt there will be certain posters giving management "the thumbs up" and claim that the year has been a resounding success.

Like most investors, I want Stilo to report some decent numbers but as the days get closer I think we are going to be in for a disappointing set of results for 2017 end.

I will certainly be reading the results as a whole but "no doubt" certain posters will be "picking only one or two lines out" and claiming that management have delivered another "fantastic, wonderful and super set of results!!"

For a company listed on the exchange I am entitled to expect my company to and hope they will be able to deliver a decent set of results.

Its nearly been 20 years in coming but I feel the wait will continue for some time yet.

I know certain posters will "make all the excuses in the world" for why Stilo management has not been able to deliver to date, blaming the next door neighbours cat etc, etc, etc but I blame nobody else but management if they end up delivering yet another set of "also ran" results.

Of course, there have been times when I have asked the question: "Why has my mate who has a number of fish and chip shops been able to make substantial revenues and profits year on year and why has Stilo International not been able to do the same?

Surely, it suppose to be the other way round by a country mile!........or is it!......to put it mildly.

Clock, our "very own consummate professional industry expert" ,to my knowledge, has already confirmed on here that he has traded these shares on highs. No problem with that. I have no doubt that he will again trade if the share price perks again. Don't really matter if he holds 0 shares, 1 share or 100 million shares!

Next time he trades he may get Stilo International to make an announcement via an "RNS"...Nothing wrong with that. No doubt he will be right again.

One thing that is more or less certain: You won't see any directors buying Stilo shares if they go up to 7 or 8 pence etc.........They only tend to buy when the price drops.

It would "just be nice" if our "very own consummate professional industry expert" would take the opportunity to answer some very, very, very simple questions that I have raised and complete this as part of his homework!

Then again, its also crossed my mind that the incredibly simple homework that I have lately set him may in fact be tremendously hard for him to complete as it does appear that it is "clearly out of his ability range".

Maybe I should set him something more simple!

SL, would you really think that the "expert" would not have taken full advantage of the one and only big spike in share price that occurred sometime ago now.Do you think that expert has any sizeable investment remaining in SL?

I would ponder that if so, a serious defence would be put forth, that could put your reasoning into question, and at least open the very long running debate about SL and its objectives.

[stilolosses] 17/1/2018 15:30

Then again, his very,very good at getting a huge, massive hump when he is given any challenging homework to do?

I don't think he will be able to do this tiny, tiny, tiny bit of homework as he will say it is not relevant.

[stilolosses] 17/1/2018 15:28

Then again, he is very good at telling us when the company is about to issue a RNS.

He did in 2015.

Maybe he can tell us when Stilo is going to issue the next RNS and how many of these they are going to issue in relation to customer contract wins in the next 10 years?

[stilolosses] 17/1/2018 15:23

Maybe, just maybe, our our very own "professional industry market expert" who knows it all can tell us how many new AuthorBridge 2.0 customers Stilo have taken on during the last year?

Is it 0 customers, 1 customer, 2 customers or 3 customers?

Then again, I think "Mr Know It All" won't think this is relevant information.

[stilolosses] 16/1/2018 00:20

Version 2.0 of AuthorBridge was launched in February 2017, nearly a year ago. Guess what? Stilo have been offering version 2 of AuthorBridge as a FREE trial for nearly a year now and it will be very interesting to see how this has effected bottom line revenues when they report in a few weeks time.

So even offering it for FREE for nearly a year I am sure they will be more than happy to spell out exactly for us how many customers they have taken on throughout 2017 from AuthorBridge version 2.0.. This, again, clearly shows how difficult, small and slow a market it is in which they are operating.

Also, clearly demonstrates the amount of continuous investment and recruitment that they have to undertake in order to push it into the market.

Not going to happen quickly and certainly not going to be cheap!!!!

[stilolosses] 16/1/2018 00:10

Another Web Developer job being advertised by Stilo for AuthorBridge. Last 2 jobs they advertised on their website for nearly a year.

They have been recruiting staff for this position for several years now as staff come and go all the time. Not to mention the fact that more work is needed for AuthorBridge to move onto the next release. Can't continue making statements to the market and then not back it as they have been doing for over 4 years now.

No doubt yet another recruitment that is going to cause Stilo's revenues, profits and share price to immediately instantaneously hit the roof!

Blenny2 I undertook a total thorough mental health assessment recently and the prognosis was that I was going to continue showing clear symptoms of Stiloilitis for a very, very, very long time yet.

The consultant also said that there is definitely light at the end of the tunnel but it would still take quite some time for things to get right.

He put me on some prescription medication called "Patience needed in the bucket loads"

When I asked him when I should take my prescribed medication the answer was: "Take it in 2018, 2109, 2020, 2021 and 2022".

Admittedly, I did ask him if there was any way of a quick, sudden, immediate chance of recovery from my "Stiloilitis and he said "No chance".

When I asked him what he meant by "No chance" he said the following......."Because it didn't happen in

2000

2001

2002

2003

2004

2005

2006

2007

2008

2009

2010

2011

2012

2013

2014

2015

2016"

adding that "It most certainly did not happen in 2017"

StiloLosses - I fear for your mental health, please get help before it's too late.

The final results of 2017 will certainly make absolute great reading as I'm sure they will spell out letter by letter just how much wonderful progress was made during the last 12 months.

No doubt!

[stilolosses] 14/1/2018 23:40

Mr Consummate Professional!

Mr Know It All!

Mr So Called Market Professional!

Mr Perfect!

Mr Trying It On For 10 Years!

Which one do you prefer darling!

Top, Top, Top, Middle or Bottom?!!!!!

Or do you prefer all of them!!!!!!!

[stilolosses] 14/1/2018 23:36

Maybe Mr Consummate Professional you will be able to attend the next AGM for us again, pick Mr Chairman's bags for him, sit on his lap, bounce up and down and come back to us with some more first hand knowledge of further RNS announcements!!!!

Highly unlikely your Mr Chairman is going to make any other major RNS contract winning announcement for quite some time yet!

[stilolosses] 14/1/2018 23:29

Please, please, please do gloat about that RNS announcement in 2015 Mr Mr Consummate Professional as we all know that since 2015 things have got so, so, so much more wonderful and spectacular that the share price still remains around the 4 and 5 pence mark with revenues around £1.8 million!

[stilolosses] 14/1/2018 23:25

Then again, our very own "Market Professional" would argue that 3 RNS contact winning announcements since the company listed in year 2000 is a great, wonderful, spectacular, fantastic achievement!

The imminent impending 12 month results are going to be a great, wonderful, spectacular, fantastic achievement! Will they not "Mr Market Professional?"

£1.8 million of static revenues after 20 years plus of trading is a great, wonderful, spectacular, fantastic achievement!

The market size in which Stilo operates in is going to EXPLODE in 2018 our very own Market Professional will argue.

2018 is yet once again his top buying share just like it was in 2017,2016,2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010 and 2009!!!!!

[stilolosses] 14/1/2018 23:12

Remind me again please Mr Consummate Professional,oops I mean Market Professional Mr Mudbath.....Am I right in saying that the way it actually works is you buy shares at 20p and sell them at 2 pence?

I don't seem to have got to grips with this tricky method yet. Maybe you can help me out. Like you have been helping everybody out so brilliantly for the last 10 years Mr Market Professional!!!!

[mudbath] 14/1/2018 21:23

"Mubdath I am sorry to say this but I think you are so, so, so, so wrong when you say that they may issue a RNS early next week in relation to revenues. I can say with absolute certainty that they will not be doing this whatsoever."

The reality ?

RNS issued the following Monday.

Regrettably SL has a serious problem with Stilo in that he buys the shares high and sells low,leaving a nasty taste, which,as is human nature,he blames on anyone but himself.

Good luck anyway to him with this strategy, even though it is not one that will yield much in the way of a return.

See you next Sunday,if not before.

Chuckle chuckle Escape.

Just trying to bring some real, common sense reality to Mud's normal exaggerated, over the top unrealistic expectations and hype!

The very same exaggerated, over the top unrealistic expectations and hype that Mud comes out with year after year after year after year!

Just a thought, but you do know mud and stilo could be the same person ?

[escapetohome] 14/1/2018 17:03

Monty Python could make a comedy sketch out of this duel!

I think it would end with :- nudge nudge wink wink, you know what i mean!

[stilolosses] 14/1/2018 15:53

Sorry! Oh dear! Oh dear! Oh dear! Oh dear!!!

Did you say: "Corporate developments might though,by then,have rendered that significance,insignificant" !

Well.......sorry but you will probably find out emphpatically that this will be 1000% way off the mark completely!!!!!!!
