Forgive the self congratulations. But we think it is worth pointing out to new readers that what we write here has some value and is reliable. You may not agree with it but it helps to make an investment decision in the round.
These comments are from a Seedrs forum today for an active campaign we have written about recently. Editing has been carried out to avoid names etc. Spelling mistakes are not mine (for a change)........................................
I'm sure XXXX is well on this but it
would probably be very sensible for him to drop a quick note to Rob at
fantasyequitycrowdfunding . I've read his blog for ages and he's a bit of a
Marmite character - some people love him and others hate him, but one thing
he's very good at is spotting discrepencies in crowdfunding pitches and raises.
...........................Rob has a lot of readers and good
connections with some of the more sceptical financial journalists and it's
always worth avoiding becoming a mention in that sort of story!
Well said XXXXX! I am also following the blog and despite the aggressive tone and clear bias (don't mention Crowdcube!) he is often spot on. I think he is doing a great job for the crowdfunding sector with his blog.
Thank you to the readers. Long Live Marmite.
The Marmite analogy is spot on! Now imagine what you could achieve without the bias and aggression!
ReplyDeleteEh.....Not Much? Is that the right answer?
DeleteAs one of the people who posted on the Seedrs forum (thanks Rob! I may not agree with your conclusions on every occasion but I do appreciate what you are doing to try to highlight some of the absurdities in crowdfunding) I do have to say I have a wonderful mental vision at the moment of an angry Scotsman in a basement somewhere sticking pins into a doll marked "my blog readers who don't appreciate me"... ;-)
DeleteThank you Andrew. Fortunately my office has a wonderful view across farmland and forest to the sea and open sky. The rest is accurate, although it is frustration at the waste of resources rather then anger :))
DeleteMarmite is a fair comparison, what Crusader doesn't have enemies ??
ReplyDeleteIt may be a yeast tonic but you've saved me gallons of gravy.
Gravy that can be spent on ( ISA's, ETF's, FUNDS and STOCK)
Your admirers far outweigh the conservative value tubes you've given sleepless nights.
Re Educate the amateur investors Countrywide.
Steady on.
