Interesting looking at the context of McDonalds' performance in Japan - they certainly need all the help they can get.

Good god - Same-store sales slid a record 38.6 percent in January compared with the same month last year, and dropped about 29 percent in February and March


Without VMob one can only speculate what the declines might have been

VMob's customer, McDonalds global, makes public its financial results 2014. Makes interesting reading with 36,258 stores worldwide. Download the financial highlights spreadsheet which contains a list of store numbers by country, and group financial results.

Interesting insights come from job advertising.

Here's some for McDonalds Corporation

External Cloud Engineering SME - it's very techy as you'd expect but note the emphasis on (Microsoft) Azure and global focus.

......gotta be good news for Vmob? Maybe McD will now have to up the ante by sinking more promotion funds into the likes of Vmob?

Hope the 100s of jobs being lost in HQ aren't the marketing department being fired after being told what you have tried aint working

What is probably not working is tv advertising, paper promotion, radio promotions, and mass media marketing in general. I actually think the VMob platform is exactly where the world is moving. And what McDonalds needs.mPersonalised, timely, relevant is almost the VMob motto. And the ability to run more or less the same platform across the 36,000 maccas outlets across the globe make it even more attractive.

I can can hardly wait for the publication of the annual report and release of the financials investors will want for the ASX listing

There has been a significant lift in the VMob twitter traffic in the last week or so. and the traffic is as often as not relates to conferences and the partnership with Microsoft. sadly VMob still only has 336 followers. the share is on 2 cents and for the most part the company is flying so far under the radar that only a relatively few people know that the company exists or understands what it does.

on the flip side a lot more people are using vmob without realising it through the McDonalds global apps plus the others who are signing up (that we know about)

It is going to take a bit of time for this company to get the visibility required to get investors excited. Im just pleased I have known about vmob for the past 18 months, and now I have had the chance to build a little portfolio of shares.

Looks like Yahoo have just started publishing VML price data for their charts in 1/100th cent increments, as opposed to previously rounding to the nearest 1/10th cent. Hopefully this free chart isn't quite as overpriced as previous attempts to post charts using free data. Free is good, but accurate is better. I'm sure someone will point out if this is still bogus. https://nz.finance.yahoo.com/q/ta?s=...%2Cr14%2Css&c=

BTW, the historical data table is still in 1/10th's and therefore not much use, and exercise some caution on the quote screen which has some figures rounded ("adjusted") and others not. Best to get the quote screens from your online broker. Sad that those online brokers charts are still woeful, even compared to a Yahoo chart or a Bigcharts, which are woeful compared to a decent charting package.


None of this should be an issue after the share consolidation.
