How do you know ML didn't make a load of cash last time tad was at this price and you were saying the same things then?

snappy - 17 Oct 2005 12:00 - 1828 of 2262

i don't yuff

and please stop getting your knickers in a twist

the pantomime continues .............

yuff - 17 Oct 2005 13:49 - 1829 of 2262

Ahhh so Snappy wears knickers!

mackem - 17 Oct 2005 15:40 - 1830 of 2262

Lets not go the way of advfn/iii

Looking critical now, only 1 mm on 3p bid, usually when it gets
this low most of the mm's become buyers, merrills drop to 3.5p
offer and wins go and undercut them to 3.25p offer.

mackem - 17 Oct 2005 16:02 - 1831 of 2262

I didnt really think the statement was that bad at first but i suppose
anything other than great news in this market is going to be met with
a severe punishment in the share price and there's the 2.5p bid now so
where is the bottom because i want to be having some Tadpole shares
because history always suggests they will recover at some point.

snappy - 17 Oct 2005 16:09 - 1832 of 2262

This affair could be quite a drawn out one mackem.

It posses several questions of which the first one must surely be what were Tadpole doing paying $25m in shares for a company that less than a year after completion of the deal (also at a cost of over $1m in legal fees on top) are they now unable to reach agreement on funding at the board level. Surely they must have had an idea at the time of the acquisition/reverse takeover/takeover call it whatever you want what the funding requirements might be.

It's all very fishy

Snappy

One of your better posts!!

You must remeber that ST was just about bust when we bought it for $25m
How do you spell "con"

mackem - 17 Oct 2005 16:18 - 1834 of 2262

Poor management snappy but then has Tadpole ever had a case
where the management were good, 25 years of losing money, the
only reason they manage to keep raising funds is that the small
shareholder still cant say no to the company, a long and painful
love affair.

snappy - 17 Oct 2005 16:26 - 1835 of 2262

very true mackem, but that love affair seems to be drawing to a close.

yuff - 17 Oct 2005 16:44 - 1836 of 2262

Seems to me SW is the biggest culprit of this con and intends to play the end game and it will be up top shareholders to stop him. His ego is telling him he will succeed his track record for shareholders is poor, unless he or his stooges pick up more shares he could risk losing everything that he has worked for over the last 9 years.
ST got 80m shares which after sales and sacking all of his staff could be down to 40m, 10% of total shares in issue with probably the majority of current share holders uk based, he might have more of a fight on his hands than he realises.
I have persuauded 4m shares to side with DL today, 10% of his total(SW's that is).
Let the battle commence.

Snappy
spot on.
i would love to sat that tad is a no brainer at this shareprice, but sadly the rns has absolutely nothing positive to say about the company.

passim - 18 Oct 2005 12:21 - 1838 of 2262

Anyone here remember Peter Kilby? (pedro)

I wonder what he would have to say if he were not realigning his skill set!!!

mackem - 18 Oct 2005 15:43 - 1839 of 2262

Well.....has anybody played Half Life 2...distributed by Valve's technology Steam!!!
This works and works brilliantly even on the lowest 512k broadband we have.
So....I TAD and its stReam technology are obviously barking up the correct tree but appear to not have a clue how to get up it!

If you try the Encarta link on MS for the download its broken. Does this signify that MS is no longing interested in it. Surely its damaged sales of Encarta!

TAD is a story of a great bit of technology in the wrong hands I feel. Mis managed I think we agree.

If you look at the press releases on Endeavours site the last half a dozen are all deals to distribute games. Talk about jumping on the bandwagon a little late.

So, is this company being driven to the wall and then will be snapped up by a third party (MS) for a major bargain. I still thing this could be the way its going. And who looses out on that....hmmmm?

snappy - 19 Oct 2005 15:41 - 1844 of 2262

it's certainly an entertaining and interesting story for those of us on the sidelines but most be quite another for those that have been sucked in for all the years and are now trapped by an ever decreasing shareprice.

Still trading south of the 50 day MA unsurprisingly.
