There’s a few penny dreadful stocks that seem to pop out of no where with a share price increase, BGI seems to have spike from nothing a month ago really with no news, volume increasing also.

It’s a tiny finance firm looses $ and has some cash in the bank.

Disc: I have both a tiny amount but don’t really get what other value justifies the increase.

Thoughts ? Potential Backdoor listing shell or just spec ?

Sharsies offers it, and there are over 2,000 bids at 4.8c chasing it up. Looks like sharsies people chasing themselves up the ladder for no reason to me...

Thanks for link sorry didn’t know there was one relating to the nzf brand but happy to continue thread on either.

There’s a really strange possibly computer generated did for 10 million shares for 1000 plus buyers at 5c not sure if it’s a bot

Either way given this tiny company looses money and no news seems odd why it would go up 400% in a matter of weeks.

Highest trading volume for ages even though the values not huge I just wonder why, grabbed a few grands worth at 4.7c so we see what pans out.

There’s been some good interest in reverse takeovers around the place to get companies to market quick.

Interesting with apps like RobinHood etc in the USA (like Sharesies) there is research to show things like "coolness of the ticker name" and the order of offer are key selection criteria - amazing. Its the financial equivalent of selecting a batsman with an artificially high average but no other metrics like total aggregate runs etc. so when the first name on the list shows 1000% return a newbie is going to think thats a bargain and pile on

Lol over 1300 trades before 11am. I am guessing the Sharesies crowd are bidding this up with almost no sell side, as it appears to be a dead company. Even the directors are dumping as they realise nothing is going on there.

I'm all for the democratisation of finance but this is madness, the good news is only c$300k traded today so in terms of total losses the sharesies crowd may be exposed to it could be worse.

At what point does Sharesies share some responsibility for the inevitable losses? They must be able to see the behaviour change in people when it gets on top of the "performance" chart and follow on buying occurs. Its not a sophisticated crowd.

Assuming it does crash, why would Sharsies have any responsibility, it's just the platform for the trades, seems irrelevant whether the users are experienced traders or not. It's like saying Direct Broking or ASB Securities should inform their users when a share is over priced? Or have I misunderstood what you're saying.

This is more a reflection of how poorly conducted the NZX is. They asked the company to provide insight into the sudden appreciation, company says nothing of note, directors sell out days after this (lol?) and it kept going up.

Embarrassing exchange.

They have no clear legal responsibility agreed. But they have large quantities of new investors, they serve up lists of available investments ranked by returns/performance and then punters buy in seemingly on the strength of that information.

At what point do they ask the question - is the way we've designed our service helping or hindering our clients?

I have not done sharesies before as I invest by a broker but signed up a quick account to view how it works and it looks there’s an encouragement to buy at market and also the real price is delayed by 20 minutes so if an investor pops $50 at market it’s going to keep snapping up the lowest seller.

This stock is a default on the direct buys so mum and dads will see the 1250% return and want some of the action.

I’ve said before just with a little pocket money chucked a few bucks to test the waters but it really doesn’t do anything

The BGI Market Capitalisation looks a tad expensive then @ $45 mil for anyone wanting to acquire a listed shell to reverse all sorts of
weird & wonderful things into ;)

If not mistaken, Directors selling down stakes & a rumour monger busy on FB apparently

Any other updates out there likely to justify the SP remaining above 1.0 c ?

Assuming many of the punters may rapidly lose interest in this one, have they already started
migrating across to CAV ? A 5c SP rise looks like something more than a Chairman departing for good
At least the NTA looks respectable multiple of SP with CAV, even if a fair bundle of the real estate is
sitting on the block looking for buyer(s)

I think you need to do a bit more research about how stock markets work. You cant compare share prices of two different companies without taking into account that each company has a different amount of shares issued. The market capitalisation of a company (what it is worth) is determined by the number of shares x share price.

In this instance Blackwell has 502 million shares issued, while sky tv has 1.74 billion shares issued. So even If both companies theoretically had the same share price, sky tv would be worth almost 250% more than Blackwell.

I sold out of this at $0.035 around two weeks ago and have been beating myself up since. I know this company is a dog and there was no rational reason for the SP to increase - losing money $693K last year, equity of $740K and only had income of $436K. The people behind this company have a poor track record and not surprising were quick off the blocks to sell down. The big question is did they mistate the NTA on purpose? 100% people acted on that info, it is such a masive mistake with 500M shares this would give them a NTA of $75M, they only have 17 loans worth $11M! I can't believe there are still people buying at 3.0C. Anyway glad i'm out and this whole thing now makes sense to me :)

No, market cap is not relevant to the point I'm trying to make as the "rally" has thrown that number way off. You can't judge the company's true value by a very short snapshot of an out of whack market cap caused by the "rally"

But by 100 times. it Appears Very intentional to me. Since the total asset number changes. Equity would be changed too therefore leads to the reported liable taxable income change. So I reported them again to FMA and to IRD as well. Whoever holds this share should do the same. No tolerance to manipulation!!

And their financial statements were audited and correct. The problem was with a return to NZX which had a decimal point wrong and this figure was entered onto the NZX site wrong. People relying on software to find bargains started buying and lifting the price. Then sharesies investors bought on mass. These people did not do any due diligence. People refuse to protect themselves and then want someone else to take responsibility. Sure, a mistake was not picked up. What do you think should happen here?

I definitely won't be buying back in, these guys have no business and really are just a shell company so would not be worth more than $1M. With the shares on issue the SP should be no more than .002 cents to get to a market cap of $1M. I'm glad i'm out and won't be buying back in regardless of price. I tend to agree to with others comments that this will be a hiding to nothing and anyone that actually looked at their accounts would see only $11M of loans, $40K of income and a $700K loss for the year and if some were happy to buy at $0.09 cents valuing the company at $50M - well I won't comment on that as it would breach Share Traders T&C's :).

I believe it is ultimately the trader's responsibility to do their own research before buying into a stock and not rely on a third party website to report a false "NTA" value, keeping in mind most of the people that bought into BGI probably have never heard of that term in their life.

Doing their own research includes looking at past reports, conducting their own DCF on the company, looking at the company's previous share price trading ranges etc etc.

I don't believe it is the insider's fault for selling shares when they've gone ~1000% for no apparent reason, others would probably do that as well in that situation.

NTA is Net Tangible Assets not "Non Tangible Assets". It is not "goodwill". I don't believe you bought because of a high NTA figure but because it spend a few days in the top growth bracket for the day. FOMO and dare I say greed caused many people to buy without doing any real analysis.

The directors didn't sell at peak. I don't believe there was any intent to deceive on their part. When it is so easy to check, why would they?

Investing directly in companies isn't for everyone and funds can make share investing easier if the investor lacks time or skills for analysis.

Would you be complaining if it had gone to NZ $0.20 / share ?

Remember, on the stockmarkets - a rapid rise can in absence of pertinent announcements for this - can turn into an equally rapid descent as well .. That is the risk .. That is the nature of the market.
Always do your own research & diligence on a target company of interest, before pressing the Buy / Sell whatever button.
If you are not using a Financial Advisor or Sharebroker who provides specific advice on the share(s) of interest, then ultimately you take that risk on - yourself

That is - risk of Gain or Loss or Status Quo etc, depending on prevailing Market sentiment & movements

To reiterate .. in today's very turbulent & uncertain times in global & domestic markets, it is absolutely essential to research yourself or to seek specific Broker / Financial Adviser advices in Equity Markets or you take all investment risk onboard yourself

There is no automatic guarantee of a share price movement up, down or otherwise, no free lunch, and no guarantee of dividends, a company's performance, performance of any particular sector or the economy etc..

Experienced investors have spent considerable time in watching & analysing Equities that are of interest to them, also the economic conditions and measuring their risk.

While I agree this was extremely dodgy, I feel like you need to take responsibility for your decision of investing into a company with an extremely bad balance sheet and fundamentals. There was no clear reason why it should have been appreciating in shareprice.

It's not your fault and I'm not trying to blame you as it's human nature to chase $$. But you should use this as a lesson and realise that easy money is lost easy too most of the time. You could have exited before the halt, and made some gains why didn't you do that? Either way if you choose to invest with this style understand the risk of a halt occurring when you don't want it to.

Goodwill is excluded from NTA so no luck there bud.

If a share price goes up ~1000% and you join in based on the hype (or thinking NTA includes Goodwill...) and without proper understanding of the company/due diligence it's no one else fault but your own when it falls back to earth.

The Sharesies crowd really need to put some time into proper analysis and understanding of financials, rather than buying penny stocks cos they are cheap or the latest hype. Expensive lesson.

Yvonne, take it from me - the UK, US, Australia et al ALL have their share of penny dreadfuls, in fact usually much more so than here in NZ. That doesn't exonerate those who sold into the rising tide, and there may yet be action from the NZX over the incorrect reporting. It isn't that they "changed" the number - the financial statements are correct, NTA is simply a calculation and it was done incorrectly.

Also - NTA is usually Net Tangible Assets; the opposite of what you have described in your post. It is all the stuff that is real (ie, not intangible). So usually relatively easy to value.

I see that BGI is rumoured to be reborn as a possible back door listing.
As it is well known a back door listing is "worth" approx $1 million and as such the current M C of BGI is imo 4 X over priced & should be selling for .002 !!

Something going on here with BGI ? -- bit of an upswing from lowly 0.004 in recent days to 0.006 today

Or just another obscure forum whispering fat cat bounce before retracing downwards ? ;)

Let's face it, they dont appear to have any continuing business in the camp now ;)

No compensation for those hoodwinked into paying 9c for BGI and now worth 0.5c = 95.5% loss.

But NZX reaps the benefit with a $40,000 fine. :t_down:

Honestly I'd be surprised if anyone was buying because of the NTA figure. I followed it closely and it was just a 'Sharesies pump'. Basically a fly wheel with more and more buying only because it's going up, then a big dump. Happened with a few other stocks too (CBD).

Doesn't excuse the negligence of BGI however.

Was a mob on Sharesies FB page all falling over themselves to crow about their returns - anyone who pointed out that it was incorrect information was declared to be a "bad investor" - the same crowing crowd then got all angry when lost out, but I suspect none of them had even thought about the NTA - they just saw "Jane from Dunedin" or "Bill from the North Shore" saying how amazing BGI was...

The very large majority claiming they invested off the NTA figure clearly are trying to find an excuse for their losses. They hadn't even opened the annual report or questioned anything - and probably don't know what NTA stands for and what the company even did. Although at the same time the NZX couldn't even work out the NTA either.....

It was clearly, to use MarineSalvage's words, the Sharsies mob falling over themselves. I was on the FB page and can recall a wannabe analyst saying price was going to 30-40c. Dangerous stuff, and just FOMO. Unfortunately some of those got burnt badly.

Just had a look back to july 2020 and there was a post asking what was going on with BGI. 205 replies....

"To the moon!!"
"Everyone back in, 10 cents here we come"
"I'm new to this but what exactly is Net Tangible Asset"
"This has been the most insane ride ever!"
"Are people going to sell at this point? I'm so confused on what to do."
"I'm at 310% return and its still going up!"

What I had a good laugh in the announcement was this:


NZ RegCo subsequently assessed that the NTA was potentially incorrect, and sought clarification from BGI. BGI’s shares were placed into a trading halt on 23 July 2020, pending validation by BGI. BGI confirmed that the NTA figure was incorrect, and released a market announcement to this effect at 4.02pm. Trading in BGI’s shares resumed on 24 July 2020, and BGI’s share price fell from $0.091 to $0.043 that day, falling further to $0.015 by 31 July 2020.

I actually emailed the NZX on the 22nd of July 2020 to raise the issue that the stated NTA was incorrect, and received a response from the NZX the morning of the 23rd and went into a trading halt 1hr 49 minutes later. So it appears that I triggered the trading halt and subsequent drop in price to a usual level. :ohmy:

I'm actually quite proud that I highlighted this. Shoddy and extremely sloppy of the company, especially when repeatedly putting out incorrect info over time. $40,000 is nothing when there was substantial director sales, selling quite a few million in shares, and sizeable profits. Very shameful. :t_down::mad ;:

I feel very sorry for those who lost their money, but it would have happened at some stage when someone else hightlighted this issue, and more people might have lost by then. Hopefully some look at it as a learning experience. Last time I looked, it was a company that had less than $1m in assets, turned over <$1m, it loss was half its turnover and at its peak was valued over $42m. So no one was really looking.

Are they still trying to find the Reverse knob for an 'RTO' movement ?

Seem to be a few shells listed out there with similar aspirations

Note how the Cap changes increase certain stakeholders lots to capitalise in
loans provided to keep 'advertising' availability for RTO action


Only a quarter of a Million cost for jogging on the spot in the last reported period
but probably includes a fair chunk of accrued Director junkets, incase an opportunity
presents itself as respectable..


$138K in past two periods - most would have to ask - what were Directors doing to warrant
that level of remuneration, based on activity levels and what has resulted ? ;)

Oh, he's resigned!!

And they've changed the name of the company!!

https://www.nzx.com/announcements/429927

At the request of the independent directors, Mr Michael Chai has resigned as a director of the Company with immediate effect. As a consequence, his alternate director Steve Chua has ceased to hold office.

Given Mr Chai’s departure, and the independent directors wish to separate the activities of Mr Chai, who is also a director of the major shareholder of the Company, from the Company, the Board of the Company have resolved to change the name of the Company to “RTO Limited” and the Company’s ticker code from “BGI” to “RTO” with effect from 1 May 2024.

The Company’s major shareholder, Blackwell Global Group Limited (“Shareholder”) holds Secured Bonds issued by the Company for the sum of $550,000.

At the request of the independent directors, the Shareholder has agreed to forgive the repayment of $200,000 of those Secured Bonds with immediate effect.

These funds, together with the additional free cash held by the Company, will be deployed by the Board towards:

• the payment of the Company’s ongoing compliance and administrative costs; and
• investigating a reverse takeover transaction. Any reverse takeover transaction will have the effect of diluting down the Shareholder’s shareholding interest, and Mr Chai’s personal shareholding interest in the Company significantly.

The Board proposes to work with the Shareholder to restructure the outstanding balance of Secured Bonds, either through the further forgiveness of all or some of those Secured Bonds, or the capitalisation of those Secured Bonds into ordinary fully paid shares during the course of this financial year.

The focus of the Board now is to actively pursue a reverse listing transaction.
