Tadpole Evolves (TAD)     

ainsoph - 23 May 2003 13:32

A new thread that may swim in hibernation for a few days or weeks as the process of evolution takes place ......

Imagine a slimmed down debt free company with one division stacked with orders and self financing with cash in the bank.

Then imagine a partner for the other division with pockets so deep that they could fund a rocket to the moon ..... and back

Dreaming of course but Tads can do that to you ..... what a gem or is that a bygone dream as well .....

moneylender. I am not in the least bit interested in 'campaigns' and have not been swayed by this. The bare facts speak for themselves and we have been mighty tolerant.

Over this weekend a number of posters stepped over the line and so we acted.

What is interesting is the persistent nature of 'offenders' to try and re-register last night and today!!!

>moneylender. Sounds to me like the case is closed (on both sides), best to leave it alone now and focus purely on the game in hand?

You and I both know this game is not over, it has just
moved to another arena.
But I agree, best to concentrate on TAD, especially over the next couple of months.

well if it moves somewhere else - fantastic!! ;-)

I came over here to get a decent price feed etc etc, if it moves to another BB thats good news as I certainly wont be following it there.

this thread is dead as anyone with any info will not post it here

Tadpole Technology 6.62 up 0.62

Whispers large software house to take hefty stake - Saturday's 'Independent'

rjs - 27 May 2003 12:50 - 188 of 729

would be nice (and def' my preferred option for the company), but why would they. They could place a bid on the table for 20M and then simple sell off the Cartesia division - probably to the dirs.

if a partner was found, and the terms were right - the share price would double instantly (from here).

Moneylender - 27 May 2003 13:16 - 189 of 729

Tick back up, now 6.5/7.25p 1:2
wins moved on to the Bid.

Looks like it touched the 150 day EMA today before the MM's walked it back.
The question remains as to whether there is enough strength in the rally to revisit it again on Thursday if not before

Moneylender - 27 May 2003 13:55 - 191 of 729

Densil

Whats the signifigance with Thursday?


M

rjs - 27 May 2003 14:11 - 192 of 729

assuming that we actually believed the rumour - then the company in question would be a US based co'. If this was the case then one could assume that info' would leak out of the US. This would lead one to believe that US punters would have a go at getting stock.

On Friday we saw the big move in the afternoon, it'll be interesting to see what will happen, volume and price wise, this afternoon.

Of course, the US market is looking at a down day (from the start) so this may negate some trades..we'll have to see.

xfg68 - 27 May 2003 14:18 - 193 of 729

rjs
why do u think the company (rumour) would be a US based one? Why not UK, or even Asian company?

rjs - 27 May 2003 14:19 - 194 of 729

because none of the UK co's are either a/ still afloat or b/ have any cash ;-)

Densil - 27 May 2003 17:00 - 195 of 729

Moneylender, TAD seems to put announcements out on Thursdays. So if there's anything in the rumours about a Partner appearing like a white knight on the horizon laden with bags of cash to give ole tadpole a helping hand along the road to fame and fortune, you might expect the trumpets to sound on a Thursday.
Just a thought, no inside knowledge or ramping hinted at or intended.

Moneylender - 27 May 2003 17:50 - 196 of 729

Hi Densil

Take your point about Thursday's.
I think with regard a partner, you are well ahead of yourself. I dont think
it is that imminent.

My timining is this.

1. Deal from Cartesia.
2. IM deal, POC should be complete.
3. App Express deals. This is a certainty software product.
4. Partner tie up poss. (several months away I think)

All of the above is just my interpretation of the way i see things. Like you no insider knowledge just hope!

Fugitive - 27 May 2003 18:59 - 197 of 729

Densil, I certainly didn't take that as ramping or inside knowledge, it's really anyone's guess. If you are holding lots of tads, then plenty of reasons to be getting excited - except that any news is now soundly priced in (consider the market cap) and the fact that TAD mms always like to take a few shekels from the punters from time to time.

I will wait for real news before investing in TAD. Might take a few months.

Dick dasterdly my good man, I am a little shocked to see myself filtered.
I have never knowingly upset anyone, so please accept my apologies if you feel I have somehow transgressed.

Densil - 27 May 2003 19:56 - 199 of 729

Moneylender,
Can't argue with your logic except for this:
Why did the intheknowbrigade start piling in last week?
And while I'm at it, why did the market makers peg the price back so hard today?

My view: Because the ITKB think there's news imminent?
Because the MM's promised the big buyer to deliver on pice?

Fugitive - 27 May 2003 20:08 - 200 of 729

All priced in, logically the price should retrace some.

F

ed. Densil, who on earth is the intheknowbrigade ??? Very strange expression indeed. On the TAD threads on this board I have seen precious few signs of anyone in the know. You are normally very quiet - you seem to have plenty of input now. Nice, very interesting to hear your views!

Densil - 27 May 2003 20:19 - 201 of 729

The ITKB are those who magically appear from the ether whenever a price moving event for TAD is about to appear.
They are probably chums of brokers and such but, if you care to correlate the buying and the BB's over the last few years, you cannot but come to the conclusion that either the posters on BB's say les than they know or that they/we're simply the suckers who provide the funds that the ITKB cream off by managing to buy at the bottom and sell into the rise so sucessfuly time after time, doing it two or three days before the news come through the official channels.

Sorry to go on for so long but I thought Post 200 ought to be more than a byline
Perhaps my input comes through more clearly because of the lack of Spam?
