lol- theres another one about the contents of a bucket, but modesty forbids- I see the iii crowd are in full swing today, that`ll guarantee a fall then.

I cannot bring myself to look over on iii as the crew of self congratulators all talk of great things for this stock. Neighbourhood watch should be aware!

The market cap is still very high considering the company has not produced a profit in the last 10 or so years and still doesn't look like doing so otherwise steig of the dump wouldn't be dumping.

More pain to come for those 'in the know'. Time for another ski report .......

ah you must drag yourself there snap, a new horizon is revealed now -China, if they-TAD- employ 4 directors and 84 staff here in the West, how anyone with a braincell could imagine that they could compete in China against wages of $1 a day.
I remember poor old Keith tried to post `Chinese whispers` over there years back, unfortunately he tried to be amusing quoting the old "chink in the wall"
slur-I got him banned for racism, good old N.Watch.

all over red rover......

ah yes , precisely

No mention of Tadpole Magi here, can this be correct MoneyYuffer??

MSN and Vodafone to launch PC-to-mobile instant messaging

Service to offer real-time, seamless instant messaging conversations
between PC and mobile customers

REDMOND, Wash., and NEWBURY, U.K. - 30 June 2005 - MSN and Vodafone
today announced plans to launch a first-of-its-kind seamless instant
messaging (IM) service between PCs and mobile phones. Customers will be
able to see the "presence" of their contacts and exchange instant
messages between MSN(R) Messenger on a PC and Vodafone Messenger on
mobile phones and vice versa. By offering customers a seamless
PC-to-mobile messaging option with instant messaging, MSN and Vodafone
will expand communication choices, delivering an enhanced messaging
offering for MSN and Vodafone customers who want to stay in touch with
friends, family and colleagues.

The service will be based on the familiar mobile commercial model of
"Calling Party Pays." As they do today, Vodafone customers will prepay
or pay for the service through their monthly bill, while MSN Messenger
customers will be able to pay through packages available in connection
with MSN Messenger.

The service will bring together customers of MSN Messenger, the world's
largest instant messaging service with more than 165 million customers
worldwide, and Vodafone, which has almost 155 million customers around
the world, as messaging continues to grow in popularity on PCs and
mobile phones. Building on and complementing the messaging success of
SMS, instant messaging between PCs and mobile phones enables new
service benefits to customers such as immediacy, the ability to tell
whether a contact is available to receive a message (presence) and the
ability to see the text of whole conversations. By adding the service
functionality of IM and by connecting MSN and Vodafone customers, both
companies expect more frequent interaction between PC and mobile
customers, resulting in more traffic.

"MSN and Vodafone are working to enhance messaging between mobile
phones and PCs, ultimately delivering a richer experience to
customers," said Blake Irving, corporate vice president of the MSN
Communication Services and Member Platform group at Microsoft Corp. "By
enabling our customers to see each other's presence on both PC and
mobile devices, we are expanding our customers' ability to make smart
communication choices and connect instantly via IM to the people they
care about most."

"We have brought together two of the world's largest messaging
communities with a first of its kind for both industries - a seamless
PC-to-mobile instant messaging service. Vodafone customers will now be
able to use IM and its additional service benefits to stay in touch
with mobile and PC friends and family," said Peter Bamford, Chief
Marketing Officer for Vodafone. "IM is a growing part of the
increasingly important mobile messaging market. By bringing our
collective customers together, we'll deliver more options for staying
in touch when messaging. Our agreement will grow IM and SMS, meaning
additional revenue for Vodafone."

MSN and Vodafone plan to launch the enhanced messaging service in
several European countries before the end of the year.

1 by xmas ................... market cap.

very optimistic.

hey snap- get the piggy-bank out yuff-yuff reckons double figs. by Xmas-

barking mad??

Sorry sequestor I cannot bring myself to visit 3eye because it is too much like lemmings over a cliff

lol

great posts but I think xmas will come early judging by the last 2 days.

Seams like All Our Lives, we been waiting. Do you think now is the time????

M

Looks a bit better now, what do you think Snappy/ Ollie?

M

This looks a bit more than the normal MM trick of suckering in new punters am and then dropping the price pm as it extends beyong one trading day. I will not say anything more until a clear new trend is confirmed but the signs are more optimistic than pessimistic at present.

hi ML
Not sure if it is MM's playing games, was way oversold on SW's selling, but looks like he has finished for the time being.

Oops - may have spoken too soon. Massive spread at present but the MMs seem a bit confused by the sudden interest in this share. Very strange.

deadcat bounce

bin bags at the ready

this looks like the usual retail punters jumping in only to see the share price retrace back to the lows as the market makers pocket large sums from the excessive spread.

still can't bring myself to look over on 3eye

i'm still not sure about this one although the recent rises are encouraging, but with all the fun and games that surround it on the boards, it is hard to see the wood from the trees with this. on one hand they have an interesting bunch of products some with great potential but on the other there is the uncertain financial position. the problem is that too many folk are trying to pull the sp around - not just mm's but also posters on here. after all why continually knock a share (as opposed to reasoned comment) unless a) you are playing with spread betting or b) trying to make the share go lower for other reasons or c) hold a strange grudge. i'm no expert but any other reason is just a waste of time when you could be researching other shares. todays rises though are encouraging and i think this is a share still worth watching although with caution. for whats its worth the last IC summary of them was a more balanced affair in my eyes and anyone with access would probably find it interesting.
