As a long termer, I agree the anticipated 7:1 or 8:1 dilution to existing holders shouldn't be completely ignored, however we must also appreciate that we are talking about restricted securities here, so it really amounts to little more than a sideshow if the Company becomes successful with decent cash flow being reported before the escrow period expires. Remember, the economic reality for the true value of any share price in the long term is driven by profit, and no one will appreciate this more than the holders of those restricted securities... Buddy founders and board of Directors who have been credited for developing the following familiar products, among many others...
... and Buddy's VC partners such as, Microsoft, Crestlight, A2 Partners, and another two which have built up a bit of a reputation for picking winners...
As I'm just an average holder posting some colorful stuff on Hotcopper in support of my investment, we can just agree that Buddy have a reasonably experienced team behind it which have received some initial funding support from a couple of people that probably know what they're talking about.
Buddy is one of the world’s first data aggregation and management platforms to focus on IoT and connected device data by providing a SaaS platform to get connected device data easily and securely into the tools organizations are already using, delivering immediate value from a resource they were previously unable to tap into. Buddy’s pricing model suits customers with high volumes of data from large numbers of deployed sensors or devices, by charging customers for data consumed, not for data sent to (or managed by) Buddy. This is a point of difference compared to typical hosted cloud solutions, which have the disadvantage of discouraging organizations from processing large volumes of generated data. A volume-friendly model enables customers to extract the maximum value from their data.
Do I believe Buddy is worth the $150M price tag ($0.14c at time of your post) based on future potential?
Yes, I believe it remains significantly undervalued @ $0.15c per share today (incl. POKO @ $0.036c), and am equally confident the market will start waking up upon the release of the first Company Presentation. Interestingly, the sell-off witnessed on Friday coincided with the timing of POK's Quarterly Activities and Cash flow Report, which had absolutely nothing to do with the acquisition of Buddy Platform Inc... As a result, I expect we will probably see it rebounding to new heights again by Monday, or Tuesday latest.
Anyway, that's my opinion, growth goblin - for whatever it's worth I have also just ordered the Amazon Echo which was developed at Amazon under the leadership of Charlie Kindel (below) - does some pretty cool stuff such as controlling smart light bulbs compatible in any home via simple voice command...
