TSX:FUT - Post Discussion

Might as well

Kick them while they are down.  A seemingly simple concept of reselling a 3rd party currency can't be well executed. Sad.

 

Operating profit margin for Advantex (Aeroplan reseller) is 75% of gross  revenues. Futura is only 45%. Why the difference? Advantex has had profitable quarters recently but still trades at 1/2 cent. They have 92 million shares outstanding. Yearly, $11 million gross revenue compared to Futura's $2.2 million. Sad yet more.

 

Everyone else has a "robust "suite of loyalty programs solutions, while Futura is simply "bust". There, I did my kicking's worth to satisfy the pessimists.

Overkill of loyalty programs here and around the world, plus https://blog.neolane.com/conversational-marketing/11-startling-stats-customer-loyalty-loyalty-programs/ It's not that easy. But here's a chance for leaders to be made when the stock trades at 1/2 cent and a 1:40 rollback is coming.

Restructure into Futura Resources and lets go hunting for metals/minerals instead. Better chance of getting financed. Can get top notch geologists and  forge important contacts. The last company I made money with, the president knew nothing about geology (coming from the retail sector), but surrounded himself with good people and the company proved itself.

Why would RBC purchase 2.9 million shares if they company was going under. Doesn't make sense to me.

1:40 so that's 20 cents post-consolidation. The buyer believes the stock will trade above that in the future. If anyone wants to give their stock away for free I'm waiting. It's almost a give away already.   Will see how it plays out in the coming months. It's upsetting now for many, it's understandable. Tough to hit rock bottom, but maybe like other bottoms in life ...more
