Yes, thanks, I think black tnr looks best for the links, I had toyed with blue comic sans, but it looks a bit childish.
Nice to see you Nick, well done on MDW bud.
The shaded area of the daily chart is the nms spread, so it's a useful little addition to see the times it narrows & widens. In case anyone wondered what it was.

N3tleyLucas

you are doing a great job here - thanks, though I did notice the font changed as well.

I'm fine and getting better by the day.

Most here know that I'm only invested in 3 stocks - ATUK, MDW & SDI.

This morning, an offer an has been made for MDW which is just above twice my initial investment - so happy with that (Am thinking more about CGT....)

I'm holding ATUK for a long long term.

Have similar expectations from SDI - Scientific Digital Imaging.

best luck to all and as usual DYOR
Nick

IIItud. No mention yet on the Australian Visa site. Official launch was pencilled in late 2013. Once any mention by Visa, this will reach a massive audience. I'm expecting interims for H2 around beginning of February. Revenues & profits will be key as always. Will we see the words "exceeding" or "ahead " of market expectations?From the 6 August 2013 trading update"In total, the volume of spend analysed by our systems is now over $450 billion, and we expect to gain both significant revenues from spend analysis, and convert these clients onto full marketplaces, and gain significant income from a percentage of the volume flowing through the system, delivering significant and rapid return on investment to our customers".From the Half Yearly report September 2013."Strong cash generation of over £250,000 in the 36 days between half year end and announcement of trading update released on 6 August 2013".So not only do cloudBuy have a significant amount of cash in the bank, they are starting to bring in significant revenues as well.RHPS give a price target of 300p in 3 years time of revenues of £50 million. Those forecasts could be smashed sooner. Remember that all this is just a warm up for when cloudBuy take on the USA in 2015. If cloudBuy is still around, it could be on a par with Ariba- Visa's last protege.This is definitely worth reading:http://www.proactiveinvestors.co.uk/companies/news/61228/uk-boss-visa-deal-creates-inflection-point-61228.html"But he admits that if things go to plan with Visa "we should be up within a number of years with trillions going through the system and us having a small percentage of it"."If we get a small percentage of the trillions that are going through Visa, then we should be making billions," the CEO points out.

One question I'd like the answer to is when is Cloudbuy likely to show up on the Visa website.

It doesn't mean that I don't believe that the arrangement is real, it's just that I think even the slightest mention would be good for Cloudbuy.

End of January will be fine thanks for that RS.

Ask Netters what I've done Tara, bud!!Me, Netters, jonnybig, smithy4 and SHONNY (and the rest LOL) .... ask N3tley and he'll give you the skinny!Yours Gene Savinly,Uncle Gene

[rock star] 16/11/2013 21:15

This is an excellent business model but to drive valuation on from here there imho will have to be further evidence of the cashflow generation they showed in the first few weeks of H2.

I imagine we might have to wait until Jan for a trading statement to confirm this.

[illtud] 16/11/2013 19:20

Yes. Thanks, Lucas. I appreciate all you've done, as well.

You make an excellent successor to Nick.

Stick with us please.

Okay, I've asked Ron if he'd be happy to come on here and do a question & answer session one day for maybe an hour.

He's happy to do that but isn't a member.

I've sent him an ADVFN reg link, suggesting he joins as a free member using his own name as avatar, then asked him to mail me to set a date and time.

Below:


Joining cloudBuy means that you are entering worldwide marketplace which has over 1 million authorised users and 30 million visitors which has already seen over 44 million items sold with a top value for an individual item of $22 million.

I am presuming that is predominantly uk based.. so a global rollout and monotising the platform @ the transactional level will be very significant overall.. to @uk..

saffy..

[safman] 16/11/2013 14:00

If you look @ Nick's research.. he mentioned @uk technology being light years ahead of its peers.. The next generation b2b ecommerce marketplace..

And he is correct.. In order to grow, you need to have large partners.. and if you look @ Ariba in detail.. they had the premise and the technology which attracted some of the largest organisation's in the world.. including Cisco..

Big names such of those led to a game changer ( i.e it was the domino effect..).. henceforth, @ its peak.. it was valued @ $46 billion... (tech boom times for those that were there..)

There is an opportunity for both Visa and @uk.. Visa would not motion a name change to cloudBuy, if there were not looking to roll it out globally..

Nothing is without risk.. so investors should be looking @ all angles here..

One thing is for sure.. when looking to invest.. always try to make sure the directors of your company have a decent stake.. I think I've mentioned before.. Nigel Wray method.. That is good news for @uk investors as both the largest two shareholders are RD and DH..

saffy..

ps. the way Visa works is a good link to understanding how they make money.. You can see why @uk could be a money spinner for Visa.. pcard etc..

Will there be news by the end of the year..?

[harebridge] 16/11/2013 10:59

Although the bulk of future revenues will be derived from Australia, contracts like the Tungsten Corp deal will still be won in the uk.It's worthwhile looking at just how massive Visa actually is. It closed up near it's all time high at over $200 per share. This gives it a market cap of 160 BILLION dollars! Now, I wouldn't mind having a partner worth that!Safman posted a link in simple terms of how Visa works & makes it's money through transactions. To think that cloudBuy will be in the thick of it is truly mind blowing, which is why I keep adding here. The following link is well worth reading.http://bmimatters.com/2012/03/19/understanding-visa-business-model/
