I got some free shares in this one and also topped up on the profit taking. It's been all downhill so far but I feel this one could take off very quickly or be gobbled up by one of the giants. Anyone else joining in the wait and see brigade??

YUK!

definitely yuk!! long term however brave holders should get rewarded as it operates in a fast growing market and may get taken over---that's my excuse for staying in--not brave enough to add though but that's probably what I should do.

for my sins, i have them too, but certainly no good reason to add .... that would be falling knife syndrome

I must admit to having sold at 29p, when it looked shaky - albeit at a slight loss. Have bought back in today though as I'm not sure it's going to drop much further (famous last words).

tau, well reasoned reply. . . except I think you are wrong.
A paatent is only worth what you can afford to protect it. In the case of Blinkx I'm not sure of their millions they managed to get from London AIM investors, but it wasn't a fortune and early-investors probably took the cash.

The big players will be Microsoft, Google, Yahoo and a few more . . . they have billions of dollars and can buy Blinkx even before the float if they wanted to.


Not sure about the web-3 you mention.

The Web is in need of serious reform and that would need to be done at international level. There are concerns over content and copyright as well as security - it seems quite ridiculous that small terror groups can use the internet to organise their activities usinig what was intended to be a social and educational link.
Whilst it is true that most search-engines are fairly poor, that is because of the way we interact with the computer. Considering the power of modern PC's they are pretty dumb when you think that a 5-year old would querey the (badly written) address on a letter they were asked to deliver....yet a computer should still regarded as an open-door when it comes to hacking, phishing and other illegal acts upon your personal data.

Many open-source programs merely ape the originals, perhaps in the belief that up-take is more important than doing the job better.

If the internet changed significantly, would Blinkx's patents still hold true. . . . and has anyone (here) seen them?

I'm not sure what the fresh excitement is about Blinkx and TV - or is this internet-based TV? Either way I'm not convinced thss is a wise investment for three reasons:
1) Small % floatation - so PI's don't own much
2) Abilty to protect patents has yet to be proved
3) I doubt that folk will pay much, if anything for the service.

On the last point - anyone (here) actually paying Blinkx to use this "must-have" technology? Form a neat queue, please.

+ Finally, WB said he never invest in anything he doesn't understand....that goes for me also.

18p - still dropping by 10%

cut my losses this morning .... another dopey investment of mine

15p looks a good place to buy 1/3rd of float price!

10p more likely

I must admit that I sold again the day after I bought back in - and I'm glad I did or I'd have lost a lot more! Guess this won't go anywhere (but down) until it can make a profit.

good girl ..... tough discipline, but very necessary in these markets

Still going down - 16.75p now

hlyeo

I think 10p is cash level so yes thats also a good target, i will buy a chunk at 15p then if we get to 10p then buy another chunk, hold then for 2 years and see if they make it.

What I don't grasp about the continued fall of this stock ,is why it goes down when there are about as many buys as sells.Why not up! Who decides.
Please educate me.All the news flow is good,so should it be treated as though it is a big loser?

I think Blinkx must have fallen out with there broker big time as not an ounce of support so bears can keep pushing down, could see 10p next week.

You could be right, although it looks as though there are more Buyers than Sellers around today.

you are more likely to grow something profitable in your garden than in VIY in the near or even foreseeable future

Certainly no shortage of produce in the garden. But VIY has bounced back to life today!

a hanged (wo)man will bounce and twitch a bit too!

BLNX looks like it's being resuscitated, too. Plenty of Buyers, and sp up to 17-17.25.
