A challenge to Eden Research (EDEN) about its FRAUD - will it please send me a lawyers letter as I really want to see the bitchez in Court. Its PR man Queenie McManus smearing me is just so tedious. Man up Queenie and do the decent thing. I also suggest that Nomad Shore Cap thinks twice before assisting Eden with a bailout placing. In this podcast I also look at DDD Group (DDD), Ascent Resoures (AST), Auhua (ACE), ECR Minerals (ECR), Evocutis (EVO), Alba (ALBA) & Stellar Resources (STG)

Tom. Always enjoy your pod casts. What on earth is going on at Nipt. Falling big time and could test year low!

Whilst agreeing that today’s RNS from DDD Group (now up only 8% as I write) is ho-hum at best, the SP has been rising on the back of two other recent RNS’s: the announcement of an affiliate agreement with bleeding-edge game capture and streaming company, AVerMedia Technologies (19 Feb); and the non-dilutive fundraising deal with cornerstone investor, Arisawa (8 Feb).
As for the business model, it’s a common one in the software industry where it costs as near as dammit 0p to supply a time or functionality-restricted free trial app to a potential user — a proportion of whom will cough up $10 to keep using it.
Of course, the model only works if the app is good enough and meets a need. Time will tell on that and until it does there isn’t much earnings transparency — apart from the licence fees that DDD continues to rake in from its older 3D TV tech.
More excitement in the short term is likely to come from DDD’s lawsuits against a couple of alleged patent stealers, the biggest of which, against LG, is scheduled for hearing in April, if it is allowed to get that far.
