ML - re Ketteman - let's hope he buys some more shares. Even I own more!

I would agree. in fact i am surprised they even mentioned the fact. i suppose they had to, to comply with LSE regulations!

M

We must be barmy to invest in a company where the executive director has only two grands worth of shares.its time I looked for the exit door.

Palindromic!

TOK - Where's the palindrome?

16661 mega holding

at least hes got a few......maybe he thinks its enough to retire on....in which case i will see you all in st moritz on my yacht.

SHORT TERM COMMENTARY
The stock is taking a breather, although still in a strong bullish trend.

MEDIUM TERM COMMENTARY
Medium term price trend Tadpole Tech is still bullish this week. This market keeps a relative behavior lower -3.29 than FTSE 100 INDEX. Volatility has been decreasing during last month. Be alert to the proximity of resistance 13.5, and a possible retracement from this level.

Now would be a great time to see Ketteman and any other director make a reasonable size purchase, It would add a lot of creditability !

Superrod,

What on Earth would you do with a yacht in skiing resort? The lake there might be be big enough for a pedalo.

IRVINE, Calif. & CAMBRIDGE, England--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 15, 2004--
When Tadpole Technology (LSE:TAD) announced an agreement
to acquire Stream Theory, it quietly signaled a major event in the
streaming-software industry.
Tadpole is combining Stream Theory with subsidiary Endeavors
Technology to create a clear market leader with rich technology,
noteworthy customers, and a vision to grow the global market. With
their consolidated IP portfolio, the combined companies are
immediately positioned as the de facto industry standard for on-demand
software-streaming solutions for business and consumer gaming markets.
Traditional methods of getting Windows-based applications to users
are being made obsolete by the demands of today's enterprises and
consumers. CD-ROMs and full-program downloads that need to be
installed are expensive, time-consuming and account for a sizeable
part of support costs for software companies and corporate IT
departments. Server-based/thin-client computing does not provide a
full PC user experience. Software streaming provides the best of both
worlds, with the TCO advantages of centralized streaming servers and
local execution of programs that are delivered on-demand.
Software streaming is an underlying technology that supports
utility computing, software-as-a-service and pay-as-you-go pricing.
For enterprises looking to build agile IT to address dynamic market
conditions, streaming on-demand software is a standout technology.
Acceptance of software streaming has moved beyond early adopters to
early mainstream users and continues to provide a competitive IT and
business advantage.
According to Leslie Fiering, Research VP at Gartner, Inc.,
"Enterprises seeking to achieve competitive advantage from their IT
investments need to be among the first in their industries to identify
and leverage innovative and influential products and services."
Game developers and others in the global on-demand gaming market,
which according to DFC Intelligence is projected to grow from $1.9
billion in 2003 to $5.2 billion in 2006 and $9.8 billion in 2009, use
streamed software to increase revenue and customer loyalty by offering
titles over the Internet for purchase, rental or trial, all with
anti-piracy protection and an optimum game-play experience. Software
streaming is also a platform that creates new revenue opportunities
for software vendors, portals and ISPs who can use it to create
software-on-demand and managed services.
"The Endeavors and Stream Theory software-streaming platforms are
well-positioned to compete aggressively in the software distribution
market, taking share from alternatives such as CDs, downloads and
push-based products. That is a tactical way for companies to drive
down the cost of IT," said Keith Bigsby, CEO of Endeavors and Stream
Theory. "But we also provide strategic value when we help prospects
develop entirely new revenue opportunities. For example, with
customers like MCI and SOFTBANK BB Corp. of Japan, we weren't
displacing another product in the IT arsenal; we jointly created new
business lines and models."
The two Tadpole subsidiaries have synergistic benefits in the
software-streaming market. Endeavors Technology addresses the
enterprise market in the U.S. and Europe, providing software that
streams applications on-demand over networks to PCs. Endeavors'
flagship product, AppExpress, is a software-streaming platform aimed
at enterprises, application- and managed-service providers, software
developers and educational institutions. Endeavors' customers include
Adobe, AutoDesk, MCI, Microsoft, Parsons and Volvo IT.
Stream Theory, a pioneer in games-on-demand, complements Endeavors
Technology and holds an early and core patent. Stream Theory's
streaming-software service was developed for game publishers and
developers, software e-tailers, software portals and application
service providers. In September, Stream Theory announced the
deployment of its streaming software technology by SOFTBANK BB,
Japan's largest broadband service, to offer games on a subscription
basis to four million Yahoo!BB users.
"Innovative technology markets such as streaming-software are
often started by visionaries that lack long-term resources to build
viable companies. The merger of our two companies creates a formidable
organization that has the customers, people, products and patents to
create great value and accelerate market growth," said Steig
Westerberg, COO of Endeavors and Stream Theory. "No other company is
focused on and committed to streaming software as we are. There is a
significant opportunity for the combined companies to expand the reach
of this market into wide-spread industry adoption."

*** end of story ***

ML
Sums it up pretty well imo.

what sums it up?...........end of story?

i must admit im a bit disappointed with the selling today.buyers/holders should maybe ask themselves if they trust the management.


Tadpole's vision is to become the industry standard for streaming
software in these markets through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Endeavors
Technology and Stream Theory.

if you trust and believe they are right, then hold or/and buy......if not, sell

there are many exqamples of a share such as tad going tits up....there are a few (GIM now BLZ for example )that went from pennies to pounds ( a tech share btw). make your choice where tad stands.

Hi
this share is typical of the 2000 era when it was dreams and jam tomorrow but since then it has moved on, the realistic story is it is still dreams and jam but it is slowly moving in the right direction and is worth a punt with profit made elsewhere , it will be nice to see some real revenue figs as the technology and know how is there but remains to be seen if the call for it is there and willing ,has anybody actually experienced/tried the product yet ?
also the news flow is not brill lots of pieces like above but to the layman sounds very technical ..the other question is why has the big inst not bought in and directors even !!
if the market drops you could see 8 p or less unless we see some real revenue figs coming in and inst/directors buying a few ,but this share is not for the weak heart

Hi all,news nothing more than expected,talk about and analised before it came out,good for some bad for others,
