Welcome back Mudbath.

What difference does it make.

Don't know what excitement your referring to.

Looks like half the staff have been axed. Not many people left to do much now.

Helen Owens-Pope Swindon based Marketing Manager, Stilo,.............Gone

I see that Bryan Tipper became the CEO of Stilo International only today,whilst Les Burnham stepped down to become Chairman and Non Executive Director thus replacing David Ashman who steps down.

It will be interesting to see where Stilo goes from here,although it does look as though Ottawa will become the main hub;with Stilo Technology possibly about to decommisioned.

Exciting times.

I have just received an interesting email from Stilo Support ,including the statement that," we are fortunate that Stilo is still 100% operational. I am incredibly proud of our dedicated staff for making this possible."

The intriguing part though was that Bryan Tipper signed off :-

Bryan Tipper, CEO
Stilo International
1900 City Park Dr., Suite 504
Ottawa, ON K1J 1A3

Quite a promotion from the role of VP, Sales & Marketing.

Recap of recent 12 month reports.

2017 year end we made little progress and as normal lost the few good contracts that we had.

2018 year end things got even worse and we lost even more contracts.

2019 year end will yet again show that things got even more worse and the business struggled yet again.

However, each year end outlook over the last 30 years plus has been the same:

"The future looks bright and we are confident of doing better in this growing market."

Of course, "Pigs will fly....just like they have since the company inception around 1990!."

Well, on that note, maybe we should leave it to the official 12 month report to have the "official drivel" from Stilo "use to be" International!

I don't think it will take any longer than 5 minutes to work out the financials, if you can call them that.

Try and give up talking drivel for Lent SL.

Before you give ADVFN up for Lent here is a thought for you Mudbath.

Do you know any tiddler business that manages to generate a meagre £100,000 revenues per month, with world leading products after 30 years of trading?

[mudbath] 25/2/2020 10:46

I am giving up ADVFN for Lent so hopefully there will be something interesting to remark on come April 10th.

[firth2] 25/2/2020 09:21

Agreed, but its a hell of a lot better than losing!!!

[mudbath] 24/2/2020 22:11

Cheers firth2,although a place is very much second best in punting terms.

Jonjo Jnr next year?

[firth2] 24/2/2020 09:25

What a fantastic effort Mudbath re E van Rooyen to win the WGC Mexico. Joint 3rd out of 70 of the Worlds best golfers. A whisker off a hole in one!!!!

Hope you did him E.W then you have had a right touch?????

Hello Mudbath,

If it helps I will wear my rose tinted glasses for you anytime.

Incidentally, do you not think rather than me wearing rose tinted glasses everybody would be advised to wear sun glasses when the 12 month results come out soon.

When the 12 month results come out again in 2021 and 2022, if Stilo is still in business, no doubt, we will all be wearing a blinfold.

Of course, it would be nice for Stilo to report on something positive after 30 years of failure but some how I don't think so.

[mudbath] 22/2/2020 20:00

This is what I posted SL:-

"I see a vital,lean,North American based company providing exceptional tools to help multiple global organizations implement structured content solutions using XML, and one catering for exponentially growing levels of demand."

Not as you misquoted:-

"There never has been and never will be such a thing, as you put it, "exponentially growing levels of demand for a lean company in north America"."

A practical examle then of “What you see depends on what you were thinking about before you started to look.”

Time for you to get some glasses SL.
Rose tinted if possible!

Do not click that previous link - malware clickbait.

[stilolosses] 22/2/2020 14:51

There is one thing guaranteed Mudbath in our lifetime as has been so explicitly demonstrated by Stilo International:

There never has been and never will be such a thing, as you put it, "exponentially growing levels of demand for a lean company in north America".

Incidentally, this will again be clearly explained and understood in Stilo's 12 month report as per normal.

Further, if any more evidence was needed, if there was ever such a thing then Stilo would have grown as a business not shrink and cut back.

More, feel free to read all of Stilo's past 30 years reports where they too use to speak about the market growing wildly before deciding to to refrain from using such terminology whereby they now hardly refer to the market other than talking about " maybe prospects" which as we all know has never resulted in anything, hence leaving Stilo in the predicament that it now finds itself in before they decide the wrap the business up altogether.

The last lot of cut backs and chopping should keep them going for a year or two or possibly more.

Just another dismal 12 month report will confirm what I have said all along.

[firth2] 22/2/2020 12:37

I have had an interest in Erik Van Rooyen. Good luck!!!!

[mudbath] 22/2/2020 11:54

firth2
No payout as yet;although I believe that it will be coming sooner rather than later.The bookmakers are just waiting for Richard Johnson to concede.

I am hoping that Erik van Rooyen wins the WGC in Mexico come tomorrow !

[firth2] 22/2/2020 11:35

I was thinking before I started to look if only Brian Hughes was 16-1 to win the Jump Jockeys Championship instead of 5-1. Have they paid you out yet?????

Crossing everything you get the double up with 'Stilo'. Time is not on my side,but as Willie Whitelaw,or Lord Whitelaw once said to me at Carlisle Racecourse having placed a 25pence EW bet 'one lives in hope'!!!!!! [100% true]

[mudbath] 22/2/2020 09:22

StiloLosses could benefit from appreciating the content of the above W.E.F. article for it is well written and wide ranging in the issues that it addresses;attributes that are notably lacking from the majority,if not all,of his miserable "contributions".

The American theorist Myron Tribus put it well: “What you see depends on what you were thinking about before you started to look.”

I see a vital,lean,North American based company providing exceptional tools to help multiple global organizations implement structured content solutions using XML, and one catering for exponentially growing levels of demand.

The only good read that is going to happen in not so long is The Stilo "use to be" International "appalling, abysmal, pathetic, dreadful, could not make them up, so sad" 12 month report.

Guaranteed highlights......

Only 30 years plus trading;
Branching out into Wilkinson's, John Lewis and Lidl;
No ability to raise revenues;
Products discontinued;
Already paltry profits down with losses;
Customers opting to leave for competition;
Market size shrinking;
Already paltry dividends cancelled;
Cash in bank down;
Management looking after management;
Sons and co to take the company over soon;
Shareholders being ripped off;
New products to replace old new products that nobody wanted in the first place;
Cost cutting the only option before curtains being drawn forever;
Too many players in a tiny, shrinking market;
Opening some hardware shops a possibility;
Going in with Gregg's, Morrison's and Allied Bakeries to expand brand awareness due to 30 years plus of failure;
Outlook for business no different now than the last 30 years plus, meaning prospects are at a all time high.

[mudbath] 21/2/2020 12:18

A very good read from The World Economic Forum:-

[stilolosses] 19/2/2020 21:18

Maybe Mr Patel can tell us all if SL is a shareholder or not?

Over to you one share Mr Patel.
