This thread is becoming as active as the trading in tad!

I see from our website that we are currently
advertising for 8 vacancy applications plus anymore at
Stream Theory. The link page for ST is not working at present.
We must be gearing up for something big, I think.

It must be quite frustrating for traders at present. A bit like being told 'the cheque's in the post'.

We should all be used to it by now !

Just wonder how long people will hang in there with it.

I don't think we have many traders in tad at the moment.
Spread is wide and not much share price movement. One thing that is happening is all the sellers' shares are being hoovered up by a large buyer imo.

Ask Keith Bigsby
28.10.04
Last week Tadpole Technology bought Slipstream Theory Inc.

Tadpole says it's another step towards establishing an industry standard for software distribution, a vision it hopes will one day catapult its stock into the big time.

Certainly there is a buzz about Tadpole. More Interactive Investor sharedealing customers hold Tadpole shares than Rolls Royce, Unilever or HSBC, and in the past year it was the second most popular stock of 2,021 discussed on Interactive's bulletin boards.

This Friday, 29 November, Richard Beddard talks to Keith Bigsby, chief executive of Tadpole's streaming division and group financial director, to find out what's behind the buzz. If you were in Richard's shoes, what would you ask?

Send your comments and questions to the Editor, and we will publish Richard's interview on Monday 1 November.

Yuff,

That's why I thought it must be frustrating for them. I'm gradually feeling a bit more positive on them, but I haven't seen anything to tempt my money out of my pocket.

Better than falling every week! Although not if people are short.

I'm short. I'm also fat and balding.

Not short in that particular sense though, and never have been.

Tadpole
I hear on the grapevine that software group Tadpole is about to launch a 'news blitz' in the next few weeks. We shall see.

I think he means the 'next few days'

I sold these the other day to top up SEY. Please let me now when it starts to kick off as will get back in as soon as I can. I hung on for nearly a year and the take off point has always seemed to be just around the bend. I'll keep checking the thread. I have a funny feeling my selling these will probably give it the kick start it needs.
Thanks guys....S

Lets hope so, just a slong as we all don't have to get up early again!

Yuff
I would say that the interview by 3i's will probably filter through
early Monday morning, so i for one will be up 7.00 am sharp monday.
LOL

M

look as thopugh the hibernation period is coming to a close at long last......cant ever remember a period like this with no interest in tad

ML
You must revel in these early mornings :-)

Pat Lay's smaller companies column on thisismoney says 'I hear on the grape vine that software group Tadpole is about to launch a 'news blitz' in the next few weeks. We shall see'.

Looks like MS haxe started using appx, on their MSN memeber site.

Hope you're right there Yuff. But I expect it to become
official next week anyhow. in fact I expect quite a bit next week!
