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

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.

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.

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

just being open and up front.

mine was merely a fairly gentle observation :-)

Fully understand, numbers and figures will be removed.

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)

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

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.

DC Put up what thread you like ,if you post something new it will have a date ,people can then see if you got it right or wrong over time . No one has to invest and any figures you have posted should be checkable .

cynic you don't know who to have a dig at next it's becoming tiresome, plus you are ruining threads that others like to read .

DC just ignore them stay just as you are

as i said at the time, my criticism of DC was gentle

i also raised assorted questions about the company that were more than fair and i also explained why i wouldn't be investing here, at least for the time being

it's a funny old life, but if someone posts that they don't like a share, then certain others will claim that he is deramping, being unfairly critical or whatever

support the sheep, and you're deemed a good chap

by the way, you two may care to cast an eye at WAND before you start casting aspersions again
