Post Date: June 15, 2017
After the takeover bid was announced yesterday for Monitise (MONI) at 2.9p per share (valuing the business at £70m when it was once worth £1 billion, I thought I...
Monitise and Scancell AGMs, and the Wonders of the Nominee System

Monitise crashes to earth
Post Date: January 23, 2015
Monitise made an announcement yesterday (22/1/2015) that prompted the share price to crash. It's 14p at the time of writing when it had been over 60p earlier in the year, and had been declining steadily over recent months. Questor in the Daily Telegraph said on the following morning that "A buyer may come out of the woodwork but we recommend taking what you can - Sell". One cannot be blunter than that.
The company announcement indicated that revenue growth will be flat ...
The dangers of share tips – Naibu (NBU) and Monitise (MONI)
Post Date: September 21, 2014
Well respected stock picker Simon Thompson had to admit defeat with Naibu in the Investors Chronicle on Friday (19/9/2014). This Chinese maker of sportswear has, on an earnings basis, been ridiculously cheap for a long time, but some investors liked the high dividend yield. Simon picked the company for his share pick of 2014 in the Investors Chronicle - he tipped it at 58p in February with these words: "It's not often you have the chance to buy shares in a ...
The level of speculation in AIM stocks
Post Date: November 18, 2013
How much speculation is there in AIM stocks? Quite a lot based on some figures recently published in a FinnCap newsletter.
“Speculation” might be defined as a short term bet on a share price rising or falling. That’s the opposite of “investment” where someone takes a view on the medium to long term returns from investing in a company.
These are the figures published by Finncap for the ten most traded AIM stocks in September – based on the percentage of the overall ...
Dotcom bubbles – Mark 2 – ASOS
Post Date: September 26, 2013
It’s noticeable that the price of on-line retailer ASOS has fallen back slightly of late. It seemed a good idea to look at what the current share price is assuming in terms of forward projections on growth in earnings. Now you can debate whether the near-term growth is 20% per annum or 30%. Analysts’ projections seem to assume about 30% for future growth, whereas the interim results only showed growth of 22% (although sales were up 34%).
The following tables show the ...

Monitise (MONI) AGM Report 2016
Post Date: October 21, 2016
Monitise (MONI) was one of those stocks for speculators in the past. One of those technology shooting stars that got to a ridiculous valuation under former CEO and founder Alastair Lukes. But despite numerous fund raisings it never managed to reach profitability. The business model chosen never turned out to be of value and the market needs also changed. So he has departed, a new management team is in place, and substantial restructurings have been implemented. The company has also revised ...
Monitise (MONI) AGM Report 2013
Post Date: October 17, 2013
Today I attended the Annual General Meeting of Monitise PLC in Holborn Gate, London. The meeting was well attended with over 40 shareholders present.
Monitise’s business revolves around “Mobile Money solutions” which basically means the use of a mobile phone to bank anywhere, pay anyone and buy anything. Monitise has a global reach with offices in the UK, USA, India and Asia Pacific (an RNS was released today, indicating that Monitise had taken full ownership of its Asia Pacific Joint Venture).
Some numbers ...

attended, together with Roger Lawson (RL) and some other ShareSoc members. The
meeting was well attended, with around 20 shareholders present.
Before moving on to details of the meeting, I will say a little about the company and
what it does, as the company does not make it easy for non-technologists to
understand!
