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.

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!

pachandl - 17 Jan 2005 13:15 - 1177 of 2262

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.

Regards
Amar

pachandl - 17 Jan 2005 14:43 - 1179 of 2262

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

amardev - 18 Jan 2005 08:49 - 1180 of 2262

Hi Pach

Am I that naive......

Or are you just that cynical.

Regards
Amar

pachandl - 18 Jan 2005 08:59 - 1181 of 2262

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.

amardev - 18 Jan 2005 09:33 - 1182 of 2262

Pach.

Thanks for the response.

Nice to see a few buys this morning

Cheers
Amar

Would the current/recent personnel and probable strategy changes need to be put into the results announcement, or could they simply detail the strategic thinking behind them (excuse the assumption) at the AGM?

The staff changes to date have already been announced, albeit by somewhat unusual means.

Noteworthy that the share price has been unable to break up through the 50 day EMA which, like the 200 day EMA, is still heading South.

pachandl - 18 Jan 2005 15:58 - 1184 of 2262

Indie - its a shame that "heading South" has such negative connotations. Its so much more relaxed in the Med, and the sun warms my old bones. Unfortunately you are right to be cynical - Tad management seems to completely ignore its loyal army of retail shareholders. Perhaps they are yet to work out their future strategy with Stream - ie merge first and then work out the benefits before the next AGM. The lack of newsflow for a share such as Tad is quite unbelievable. Still, perhaps Evershed of New Star will be correct when saying that the IT software sub-sector should outperform the market this year - although that does not mean all constituents manage to do that.

Still a few more to come I think.

PACH,

I hope you're wrong about the 'work out the benefits before the next AGM' bit. That would suggest they didn't know exactly why they agreed a merger with Stream before they actually did it. Even for Tadpole, that's a stretch.

The lack of newsflow from Tadpole is the opposite of unbelievable; it's only too believable unfortunately. Apparently more companies issued profit warnings last year than in 2003 and the trend is expected to continue. Software suppliers will have the opportunity to benefit this year if they can demonstrate their ability to save their clients money and hence improve their bottom lines. Tadpole should be in the forefront on this. If they can't make it this year, maybe they never will.

It looks like oily is a bit embarrassed about being caught out with the 150001 sell 4 mins after the first lot os 250k's at 9.75p went through, over on advfn.
He is obviously happy to have been spooked into selling by what he thought wre legitimate sells onlt to see the share price rise soon after.
Oh well couldn't happen to a nicer chap, wonder if we'll see his friend mackem appear?

pachandl - 19 Jan 2005 11:03 - 1188 of 2262

Indie - my first comment was made "tongue in cheek". Your second comment is spot on - although I would delete "maybe" in your last sentence.

amardev - 19 Jan 2005 14:25 - 1189 of 2262

Greetings to all Tad holders.

Any of you use / operate charts?

And if so ....... any interpretations offered on Tadpole.

Cheers
Amar

Indieman - 19 Jan 2005 23:38 - 1190 of 2262

Pach,

I assumed your tongue was in Bill Clinton mode, but the thought was worth considering nevertheless.

Amar,

I use charts. The current picture from the charts is exactly what anyone would expect-indecision. The price is hovering just above long term support and volumes are low. The 50 and 200day EMAs are good indicators of medium and long term trends. Both are heading downward (bad) and are above the current share price (also bad). Note how the 50 day EMA seems to be resistance to upward movement. Theoretically, the EMAs could squeeze downward to meet the long term support, but it is more likely that the price will break out well before that happens.

Most secondary indicators are limited in use when the price has moved so little and in such an aimless way over the last few weeks. As an example, 14day RSI is over 50 currently, but any significant one day movement in price could move it considerably.

pachandl - 20 Jan 2005 11:36 - 1191 of 2262

Deleted - the question I posed was answered elsewhere. Not Tad-related.

Greetings to Tad holders.
Why so quiet on this thread?

Trading in a very tight range of late........ the suspense is grinding.
Would love to see it close above 50 day MA and then break through the 200 Day.

Good luck all
Amar

pachandl - 25 Jan 2005 10:13 - 1194 of 2262

It's quiet because there is nothing to talk about. We are all waiting for the next trading statement/results, although this morning's little blip might suggest that some want to get in before then.
