BLT - Blis Technologies

[emearg]

It may surprise people to learn that I actually do have other investments than BLT

Wellington Drive being one? Me too...took a beating on them investing a decade ago but they do seem to be running well now with the new guy. I have lost plenty though. Never mind...learn...and be greatful of having a decent job to make up for my youthful enthusiam

My sarcastic message last night sure has made this forum more interesting so that is one positive. My point is that after a decade holding Blis I don't want them to back off now and settle for mediocrity. Go crazy and hopefully you succeed. You will make me rich if you do. If not life will continue. We don't know enough to know what is happening, and some fluffy words in the report won't tell us anything. I learnt that from Ross Green from Wellington Drive. Bull sheet artist numero uno. He should work at Rakon. Numbers tell the truth. Right now tracking poorly. One off? Will need to wait and see. Cheers

Just got an email saying they've launched their new website today! And international customers can pay with their local currency. https://blis.co.nz/?mc_cid=a5d8c8fd2c&mc_eid=cdfcadbdee

Looks good, but it seems a bit buggy on the iPhone... a few 404 pages... especially on the "buy now" link!

It would have been good if they had let someone out of the firm and their marketing co have a play around on the website and find it's glitches and what would make it work better. Nonetheless, at least they are doing something.

All fixed now ... working perfectly on my iphone. Fast too.

Yes, it looks very cohesive and sensible, like the website of a company that has some polish. A lot of 404s in the investor centre too presently.

Obviously in light of the 2017 result, I'm wondering at what cost was this stuff done. Website. Toothguard and its video. Repackaging of existing products. Lots of staff. That makes sense if it definitely will lead to strong growth, but otherwise could be strung out over time. Balance etc.

I continue to look forward to the next report.

I'm impressed that it is 'responsive' ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Responsive_web_design ). Anyone contacted them pointing out the broken links?

Bevan Wallace has resigned as director. No explanation was offered in the announcement. He certainly has laboured long and hard for the company and that effort is appreciated. Thank you for all you have done. https://www.nzx.com/companies/BLT/announcements/301390

However, the data points remain puzzling. Many will have spotted this clip "Blis holders reduce stakes " http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/9232...-reduce-stakes

And then look at the new management team at Blis. The chairman has been there a long time, the deputy chair a fair time, and the rest of the team joined in 2014, 2014, 2012, 2016, 2011, 2015, 2016, 2016. https://blis.co.nz/investor-centre/c...te-governance/

The times they are a changing at Blis whichever way you look at it.

Let's hope the next report is heartening. The share price looks ready to slip into the 2 cent range otherwise to judge by the market bids this morning.

Well, the 1.5m drop in the February update https://www.nzx.com/companies/BLT/announcements/297031 stressed that underlying demand remained the same, and presumably they expect growth on last year's target as well, so the potential has to be there for good news if they make a forecast. Of course, we would also want some confidence that the costs would not grow to meet that.

Interesting times presently. No trend lines to fall back on that I can see.
