He stalks the dark recesses of our minds like some ghostly apparition - oops, sorry, I started thinking about Edgar Alan Poe for a moment .. promise it won't happen again.

People are speculating why the results are late on iii when all the legwork was done for the EGM, someone on iii thinks the reason might be that the results might accompany good news otherwise if the results were bad then they would have been released on the 31st Dec at about 12.29pm.
Glad to see MS are very happy with ETI's software and that they are getting results immediately.

Hi Yuff

I tend to agree with you about bad results either Xmas eve or New years eve.
I think they are just waiting for the right moment to pleasantly surprise us with good news all round. Yesterdays IR note about Cartesia just goes to show we are making very good traction within the GIS markets.
All we need now is a few feel good factors from ETI/ST, and i am sure they are not very far away.

Roll on the news.

M

i wiil be content to expect bad news and hope its in the price. good news will be a very welcome event for us diehard tadders.


ps

anyone regognise this email address? i have received a very offensive mail. i assume its someone who disagrees with my views. ( im surprised its the only one ive had as i have posted my own address many times ).

Rumour has it that we are about to see the demise of patcom our PR co.
Obviously our new major shareholder Stig is feeling his feet and making his presence felt.

Following post is by a very well know poster on another BB.

If one looks back we can see the old Tads guard have not been too successful ... many products have just not been sold in real terms to real clients ... the constant wish list increased in terms of product and potential clients but profits have alluded Tads as the concentration was always on tomorrow.

The CEO went a couple of years ago just ahead of the agm and results ... my guess is the same sort of management change is on the cards this time around. We need a new broom - a new initiative - a sales/marketing/pr initiative to get out there selling. The tech guys are falling like ninepins and this is no bad thing - the company must be run by the accountants and the sales guys ...

I have built up a mini holding of several hundred thousand shares in recent times as I hear rumours of new management changes and new contracts - I would expect some sort of announcement on new sales at the time of the results which must be within the next two weeks. Hopefully we will see trading has been better than originally forecast.

A new Star may be seen very soooooon ... it was rumoured that the three wise men came from the East ...

Money - do you mind me asking from where. It's just I have searched the BBs I know and couldn't see it. The reason I ask is because I like to know who the author is so that I have some idea of the truth/accuracy of the message.

I have seen that there seems some excitement on ample!

The Author is Maut.

M

M- thanks for that. Well something good must have happened for him to have such a change of heart!

I still can't find it though, on what BB was it posted, or is it not a public one?

You'll find it was on fool and yes it was posted by maut.

I'm afraid to say that anyone who makes multiple posts on a daily basis on the adv Tad BB cannot be trusted. They have their own agenda and clearly do not brook any disagreement - nor care less whether others lose money following their advice. That BB is now a complete joke.

pach
That bb has been a joke for a vey long time but i don't think the main culprit is maut, even when he isn't posting there are plenty of other idiots who believe every other poster is maut, they haven't quite worked out yet that every pro tad post isn't maut as there aren't enough hours in the day unless maut was paying people to post for him just to wind them up, it would almost be worth the waste in money!

Yuff - I was not referring simply to Maut - there are many others. But at least we both agree that the BB should be avoided at all costs!

To all Tad holders

What we want is some real new from the company itself..

Patiently waiting.

Amar

That smacks of revolutionary talk Amar - surely you jest? Anyone would think that management are answerable to their shareholders.

Hi Pach

Am I that naive......

Or are you just that cynical.

Regards
Amar

Amar - neither. Just evening banter. Nothing changes with Tad but one day we might both be surprised. The law of probabilities suggest that they cannot get it wrong all the time.

Pach.

Thanks for the response.

Nice to see a few buys this morning

Cheers
Amar
