Blur Group (BLUR)     

dreamcatcher - 31 Jul 2013 18:00



blur Group is a technology company reinventing how businesses do commerce at blurgroup.com. Its Global Services Exchange delivers services differently: a new way to buy, manage and pay for core services. As of July 2013, more than 30,000 businesses in 141 countries have adopted this s-commerce platform and changed the way they work. 100 projects per month from companies like Broadridge, Coral, Exceed, HCA, Momentive, Red Commerce, the Financial Times, Berlitz, Butlins, GE Healthcare and Tyco are received. Over the same time, average brief value has grown from around US$1,500 in 2010 to US$10,800 in the first quarter of 2013. By mid-2013, more than 2,200 projects had been submitted with a combined value of over US$35 million. These have come from the US, UK, Europe, Africa and Asia with over 28,000 expert service providers on eight exchanges responding to them

cynic - 16 Jan 2014 15:19 - 291 of 471

if you think WAND is scary then try this ......

it's an MM-only stock
offerings are in no more than 3,000 shares
there have only been 125,000 traded today

also, a bit i don't understand . ....
this is one of those strange stocks that has uncrossing times and thus, i guess no real live pricing
please can someone enlighten this dimwit

what on earth does "total projects" actually mean?
do they just represent leads or, at best, potential business or what?
i'm certain they don't mean real money coming into the coffers

cynic, projects placed with Blur.

From the site ,

It costs nothing to start a project. When everything is confirmed and it's published on the Exchange, the project is 'live'. Once you've selected your favourite pitch you will be invoiced for the entire project. 50% payment is due immediately before the work is started unless alternative arrangements have been made in advance. When the project is complete the second 50% payment is due. Please note that the total budget includes blur Group's fee - the Expert will receive the total price less 20%. After your account has been set up, a listing fee of £250/$375 or 10% of the maximum budget (ex VAT) whichever is greater, is payable. The listing fee is deducted from the final cost of the project.

so in principle they're no more than bits of potential biz
it follows that the key is along the lines of the conversion rate - i.e. is 5% or 25% or 35% of projects submitted
without at least a guide, these project figures are totally meaningless

dreamcatcher - 19 Jan 2014 09:27 - 299 of 471

cynic, understood, you have asked a question and I have tried to answer it. You are either happy to invest or pass. I'm into many comps to know all the ins and outs. Hope you understand.

dreamcatcher - 19 Jan 2014 09:30 - 300 of 471

In practical terms I do not suppose they can put much more info on the site otherwise figures would be worked out before they were published.

cynic - 19 Jan 2014 10:43 - 301 of 471

i was merely raising the obvious questions that a potential investor should ask
it is not for me to tell anyone what to do with their money
as it ha[[ens, i shan't be putting my money into this one, at least for the time being .....

(a) there is no transparency as to the conversion rate for these (worthless) projects, so it is not apparent when money might start pouring into the coffers and at what sort of rate

(b) trading volume is pathetic

(c) sp is totally controlled by MMs, and worse still, the market in them is never actually live - 3/4 auctions only each day, unless you want to accept whatever the MMs have put on the screen

==================

DC - reluctant as i am to say it, but you really are taking on the guise of a ramper ..... though you say you have bought X,Y and Z stocks at basement prices and "yippee guys, look what a clever chap i have been", i am afraid it is all too easy to write whatever one likes

dreamcatcher - 19 Jan 2014 10:48 - 302 of 471

just being open and up front.

cynic - 19 Jan 2014 10:56 - 303 of 471

mine was merely a fairly gentle observation :-)

dreamcatcher - 19 Jan 2014 10:58 - 304 of 471

Fully understand, numbers and figures will be removed.

Chris Carson - 19 Jan 2014 17:05 - 305 of 471

Take no notice DC, you picked this one, called it right. Well Done mate! Have yet to see Halifax or cynic make a similar call with any stock to date. No sense of humour the pair of them :O)

dreamcatcher - 19 Jan 2014 18:08 - 306 of 471

Cheers chris. Just going to become a watcher like the sensible 99% on here. Not worth the grief.

dreamcatcher - 19 Jan 2014 18:14 - 307 of 471

If cynic would ever read any of the threads he would gain the information he needs, instead of asking questions that can be looked up on the thread. And he should notice all threads are put up on the purchase of shares, so quite frankly they could go either way.
