Stilo Share Discussion Threads

"Oh but I do worry for Mr Patel and his 1 share SL".

Why Michael?

1. One share will only give him 3 pence. Can't even buy anything for 3 pence nowadays, does it?

2. Would Mr Patel even be around in the next 30 years?

3. Who is going to buy what product and for what amount from Stilo?

4. Are they not giving them away for free?

5. For every 10 free products given out they will probably get how many new customers?

Oh Mr Mr Mr Patel.

I bet you would love to know if I am a shareholder or not Mr Patel?

[michaelmouse] 19/2/2020 20:25

Oh but I do worry for Mr Patel and his 1 share SL. Why has he kept that single solitary share? It'll haunt him since it'll always either remind him of his original folly in investing in Stilo Int. or it'll torture him as dividends are re-instated, the company returns to growth and the company is then sold well above the price it de-listed for.

Either way he needs to sell that single share and move on with his life. It'll make him far happier in the long run.

[stilolosses] 19/2/2020 19:04

Don't take this the wrong way Michael, but surely even you, a now "ex professional market expert on use to be Stilo Internationl" don't expect them to report anything worth while?

Mr Patel is probably another one who has invested in about ten companies, hoping that all will make it, but having the knowledge that some are going to fail.

It really is simple as that. I would not think about his investment as anything else. Just hope and anticipation really.

Hello Michael!

How are you my little China?

Where have you been son?

How you diddling?

You little rascal!

You are right to some extent. I mean, if waiting for a dividend and or for a takeover you only have to look at the last thirty years of gossip in chat rooms for that.

A dividend in a company this size before you get booted out anyway is about right. Then again, they could not even pay the paltry dividend that they were paying anyway so another year or so of a maybe dividend is and could be about right.

Then again, you could say, like Stilo have been for many years, that business is now about to take off.

I think we all know, though, nobody did or is going to buy all those old products Stilo have been trying to flog or give away for free for some decades now.

[michaelmouse] 19/2/2020 18:45

Does anybody know a Mr Chirag Suryakant Patel. Holds 1 share in the de-listed company.

It's a wild stab in the dark, but I'd guess he appears to want to monitor company progress of a de-listed company which is a very strange/bizarre thing to do? Perhaps he's after the dividend payouts? ;)

BTW SL you do realise that buying or selling shares in Stilo International would now be extremely difficult following it's de-listing? Remaining shareholders are now pretty much "locked in" whilst others are "locked out". The only thing of interest is any potential future dividends payments and/or sale of the company.

In other words, why are you still here posting? Totally pointless really.

[stilolosses] 19/2/2020 18:19

What they should really say in their report, if you can really call it a report, I believe, should be very, very brief and read something like this:

Business has been as bad as it gets!

Trying very, very, very hard with our amazing customers we have again achieved abysmal revenues of £1 mill plus after thirty years!

The outlook is no different to the last thirty years or so!

With regret we have very little or no future going forward!

We are looking at locking up shop at some stage in the future.......completely! Including all the cleaners!

We profusely make no apology for not achieving anything with anybody, anywhere over the last thirty years of trying and are really, really, really proud of failing completely!

Finally, up yours, kindly, to all shareholders who we have managed to dupe not for one, not four, not, seven, not twelve, not sixteen, not twenty one, not twenty four, not twenty eight, but for the last thirty years or so!

So much for iterations! Iterations! Iterations!

Never! Never! Never!

[stilolosses] 19/2/2020 18:13

Sorry you feel like that Mudbath.

I just don't see it as negative iterations. Iterations, I believe, means that something will eventually get better.

I can understand if Stilo had a bash to make things better over a year or two, maybe a year or five, a year or twelve, a year or seventeen, a year or twenty two, a year or twenty six, but a year or thirty! Now come on!

Things have never in their history, or future, sadly, gone the way management have said. Thirty years of total failure and silly, minute, miniscule revenues and use to be profits is where Stilo has been for the last three decades or so. That's why they have been locking up shop, sacking the cleaners, delisting, buying out long-term shareholders, if not, booting them out, losing the only few customers that they had etc, etc etc.

They now cannot even manage to make the lowest of low income other than locking up, saving and scrimping as much as they possible before it goes totally pot.

If you want to blame anybody, please do not blame me. Its not my fault! Stilo is where it is because of their old fashioned belief customers had a demand for their products, believing that if one product didn't work, they could simply move to another, then another, and another, and another etc etc,etc!

It has not worked, it will not work, it can't work because of the simple, very, very easy to understand concept that their products never have been and never will be in demand. Simple! Really! It really is simple as that! Sorry Mudbath! Sorry! Sorry! Sorry!

When they again publish their abysmal results, yet again, it will be blatantly obviously jam packed solid with the same old, same old same old, etc, etc, etc!

Nobody serious is ever going to use them apart from some minute £10 contract here or there, even that will probably cost Stilo £15, because as we all know Stilo for the last thirty years have always liked to say "Government, Vodophone, Amazon!" etc, etc, etc, even if the contract was only worth a tenner or so, but that's always been Stilo for you.

I would not at all be surprised if Stilo didn't come out again, like they have for the last thirty years or so, and say the last specific year has been difficult, but the future!

Well.......that now looks, very, very, very, very, very positive!

That the prospects are incredibly, incredibly, incredibly massive!

Things look very, very, very, very, very, very promising!

The future for us now is absolutely, incredibly and massively rosy!

Personally, the word "prospect" has been their most favoured word during the last three decades!

[mudbath] 18/2/2020 21:17

Negative iterations are your speciality SL.

May they bring you full satisfaction alongside due reward.

[stilolosses] 17/2/2020 21:43

Full year results should be out soon lol.

No doubt the all important products, markets, revenues, profits, dividends, customers and everything else associated with Stilo will be in a normal downward trend.

No doubt the company though will say that things are beaming and after 30 years of trading everything is about to lift off again. Lol.

Sad! Sad! Sad!

All they have to do now is move to the next stage of their scheme...... How to get rid of the remaining holders by planting more bombs!

[stilolosses] 13/2/2020 10:37

Thank you Mudbath!

Omg!

We agree on something?

[mudbath] 13/2/2020 10:16

Don't click the above link(malware).

[stilolosses] 12/2/2020 23:26

Hello again Mudbath,

I don't mind "occasionally" being correct about Stilo but being spot on about Stilo and its business of the past 30 years or so is a tiny little bit more than being correct "occasionally".

Maybe your "expertise and professionalism" can be used to explain why everything Stilo has done during the last 30 years have resulted in nothing other than a delisting for a company that can barely make a few quid before it is all over.

Maybe all the stewing will only be complete once they are able to kick out all the pathetic, small, miniscule, unimportant shareholders before going bust or everything going to Ashman and his sons......oops

......and for the open, honest, decent, not very deceitful Mr Mudbath himself.

[mudbath] 12/2/2020 20:59

Indeed SL,what a lot of silliness you do post;more than usual if that were possible.

You have indeed been correct, occasionally;except when you were grievously wrong.

As for free trials,Microsoft offer them and they seem to be doing OK.

Keep on stewing !

[stilolosses] 11/2/2020 18:22

How silly of me!

Forgot to say that after about 6 years of trying to sell some Author Bridge tools Stilo are still trying to give it away FREE on their products page via the website, in fact, they are giving Optimizer away for FREE too.

Our experts will argue this is a good thing after 30 years of failure.

I'm sure they are giving their products away for free because business is so rosy. Then again maybe they have realised that 6 years on they cannot even give it away for free because it is a headache and others can do a better job.

Fee free products at Stilo "use to be" International Limited.

[stilolosses] 09/2/2020 18:20

Hello again Mudbath!

Maybe Stilo "use to be" International Services Limited can update the market on its overall abysmal record of the past 30 years, highlighting especially why they could not even build on the paltry 2018 low revenues in 2019.

I do agree though that they should now show all those little share holders of years back who really is boss and boot them out by bullying them into a corner.

In the meantime I take no pleasure in highlighting the following as I was right all along:

1. Paltry low dividends could not even be maintained and had to be axed;

2. Unable to generate any revenues similar to that of my mates fish and chips empire..,. Going into reverse as normal like they have done since formation;

3. Recording losses and even having to sack the cleaners to save money;

4. Axing as much as possible all across the company to save face;

5. Customers refusing to buy anything that they offer due to better and free products available elsewhere;

6. Living in cloud cuckoo land when stating on record they could pay increasing dividends;

7. Cloud cuckoo stories about buying out others;

8. Lower and lower cash in the bank;

9. Discontinuation of products;

10. Market reducing all the time as it has done over the last 30 years;

11. Proud decision to come off the stock exchange 30 years too late;

12. Leading everybody, including the cleaner, up the garden path;

13. Misinterpreting and lieing out of their teeth decade after decade after decade, let alone lieing year after year;

14. Being forced to eat humble pie and force a delisting before the company went bump;

15. Continuing to do everything possible to force as many shareholders into a corner and forcing them to take action that is the interest of Ashman, his sons. The "world market leading experts;"

16. Management laughing, rubbing their hands and dancing to the tune of Ashman's sons and company;

17. All products failing in a tiny market;

18. Hoping to start paying some dividends again after a reshuffle to keep everybody in the "Yes sir! Yes sir! mode! Hood Hood! Wink Wink!

19. Going forward, company now moving 1 step forward and 30 steps back as opposed to 2 steps forward and 4 steps back;

20. Rewarding management and family and friends as much as possible as often as possible;

21. Management coming out with some more " potential! Potential! Potential! Potential!........and more potential!" end of year comments similar to the last 30 years;

22. Management having to clean the dishes themselves as they have nobody else to do it with management having nothing else better to do;

23. Customers leaving and exiting to others;

24. Management having nothing better to do than filling the end of year report with waffle similar to the last thirty years of reporting;

25. Driving out all the weakest links across its employees, shareholders and sundry;

26. Running out of ideas what else they can do to keep the shop open as long as possible;

27. Management being a total 30 year plus failure;

28. Management knowing they can do whatever they want as nobody can do anything about it;

29. Management continuing to micro manage a micro small business until they can reap maximum benefits for themselves;

30. Management seeing small fish to fry when it comes to existing little shareholders. Clearing out and shooting down previous majority shareholder in Brewins meant absolutely nothing. Easy!

As normal our professional market experts are trying to get "blood out of a stone" in the hope and anticipation that they can fill their own boots.

Stilo "was going to be" International Services Limited! ended up being 30 years too late dot com!

Investing in fish and chip shops would have been better.

Ooooooops!..........

[mudbath] 04/2/2020 21:23

With several hundred private investors holding very small amounts of Stilo shares,it would be a good housekeeping exercise if these minimal parcels of stock could be the subject of a mandatory yet reasonable offer from the company.

Stilo could use the occasion of any announcement on this subject to comment on 2019 progress.

[mudbath] 31/1/2020 17:12

[mudbath] 25/1/2020 11:52

Btw,for those who might have followed BYOT and/or TERN,the future for both companies and consequently for their share prices,looks bright indeed.

The Coronavirus will certainly stimulate interest in Byotrols products:-

"ATLANTA - January 24, 2020 - (Newswire.com)
​​The Wuhan coronavirus, a new and potentially fatal infection, has arrived in the U.S. The first confirmed U.S. case of the coronavirus in Washington state has CDC officials and hospitals across the U.S. preparing for the possibility of the virus spreading here. Fortunately, a new EPA-registered multi-surface cleaner not only eradicates coronaviruses and other dangerous viruses but also kills bacteria for 24 hours with a formulation classified as nontoxic by the EPA. The product is called Byotrol24™",

whilst news this week relating to TERN's holding in Device Authority could well result in share price fireworks lying ahead.

BYOT 1.63p
TERN 9.40p

Good luck to the optimists !

[mudbath] 25/1/2020 11:43

There are several Ashman's appearing on the list of shareholders,apart from those held in Nominees by the family.

Now who would know better where the value lies?

My money is on the Stilo Chairman as opposed to our resident detractor.

[mudbath] 24/1/2020 21:25

LOL LOSSES

Your post now saved for future reference.

What flavour of humble pie is your favourite?

"Here we go again.

Mary go round and round time again.

The company is locking everthing down and only keeping open and running what they need to run.

During the re-structure I am sure they will continue to chop bodies, close offices and make as much savings as they can because they just cannot and will not generate any serious revenues primarily because their products are not wantes, competition elsewhere and the market size being so small its hardly visible.

They now also have to pay for Author Bridge each year and this too after many years is only generating about £2000 per annum.

Revenues continue to deplete, profits continue to deplete and the cash pile continues to deplete.

Its so, so, so, so bad that they even decided to ditch the paltry dividend because they could not even afford that.

Tehy have no option but to sack as many people, reduce as many costs as they can, even stop the cleaner from working in their UK office before they move operations across the pond.

It is only a matter of time now before they are unable to make any more savings as they can't even generate any revenues.

Like I have said many times before, my friend owns a group of fish and chip shops and he generates more revenues and prfoits than Stilo ever will be able to.

Nothing else to talk about here so of ex professional market experts now have to resort to who is on the share register to generate some interst in Stilo.

Desperate, desperate desperate times and it will only get worse as the new costings for Author Bridge that hardly ever achieved any sales kicks in from here.

Maybe, Stilo managment would be able to save a few more quid if they also sacked their cleaner in the North American office and did the cleaning themselves as they have nothing else better to do.

Its not as if they are going to be able to get any new sales in after 30 years of trying. Then again, when they do get a new customer they end up losing 2 customers anyway."

An interesting list on the Confirmation Statement of the residual 400 or so PIs who remain on the STL register and this excludes nominee holdings.



The BOD would be well served by reducing these numbers in order to facilitate a cleaner exit.

[mudbath] 16/1/2020 21:43

Hi dynoPort.

Taken from the Interim Report:-

"The Company continues to develop high-quality software tools used by leading organisations around the world. With a reduced cost base and increased sales to be driven by the recruitment to the newly created role of VP Sales & Marketing, it is our intention to generate steady ongoing profits and resume the payment of dividends to shareholders as soon as possible."

[dynoport] 16/1/2020 21:38

are dividends still paid?
