did you know that a googol to the power of a googol

( 10 to the power of a hundred to the power of 10 to a hundred ) cant be written as an ordinary number?
it contains more zeroes than there are atoms in the known universe.



wish i could post the actual figure, its most impressive as it only uses 12 integers

blinger - 09 Jan 2006 10:12 - 2150 of 2262

I didn`t know that super, but I do now, and it has made Monday morning a real pleasure,

you be good now!!!

ps 1 divided by zero is better.

New all time low for Tadpole, is that statement a hint that they have
severe cashflow problems ?

pachandl - 09 Jan 2006 13:21 - 2152 of 2262

What a strangely worded statement - why make it at all when it simply leaves an air of uncertainty over the whole compnay.

Kivver - 09 Jan 2006 14:26 - 2153 of 2262

is the end near, is my small investment going to disappear. Is it time for tadpole to frog off??

pachandl - 09 Jan 2006 16:21 - 2154 of 2262

Either the end-game or pure brinkmanship by Steig. Not certain which but I am certainly not building up my expectations.

blinger - 09 Jan 2006 17:25 - 2155 of 2262

I foretold this months back, when one of the cardies said that the money was due. As I then said, if you owe some co. money .and also know they have a cash-flow prob. you don`t pay them, simple as that, they can`t afford to go to court.Excuses about the contract details, complaints about the product are all valid excuses to hold back cash.The next step, again as I told you, is to negotiate a part payment to TAD, erm , yes less than the full sum, eventually they will have to take it, GEM aint going to work anymore.
Not long before the end now, unless of course yuffs` vast knowledge of business can help them out?

What a bunch, they never have listened from 84p.

blinger - 09 Jan 2006 17:47 - 2156 of 2262

Someone ask the Yuffer when the EGM is, he seems to be really up there with the Captains of Industry.

pachandl - 09 Jan 2006 20:49 - 2157 of 2262

Of course it might simply be a dangerous gambit to get Softbank to pay seeing as they are involved in some sort of merger/take-over at present? Forlorn hope I know, but that is what being a Tad holder entails.

blinger - 09 Jan 2006 22:10 - 2158 of 2262

No what being a TAD holder entails is being shafted- constantly - let go and cash in the money-25 is 25,

let go for goodness sake.

pachandl - 10 Jan 2006 11:20 - 2159 of 2262

25 for such brilliant year long entertainment - worth every penny.

blinger - 10 Jan 2006 18:33 - 2160 of 2262

lol pach,
well the guru says eveything is all right on 3 eyes, we know his reputation well, one of the old 84p crowd, so sleep well holders, guru is bullish!!!!

Is this the main TAD thread now?

No, the other one is the "main" one. This one is for TAD discussion only

superrod - 12 Jan 2006 22:13 - 2162 of 2262

whatever your point of view, its very sad to see a once "stock market darling" on its knees waiting for the coup de gras.
they say never fall in love with a share, but tad has supplied me ( as a former bull ) and all the bears with 10 years of excitement.
i have calculated tonight that during that period i have spent 270073 on shares and sold 268336. a loss but where else could you get such a thrill over such a long time for such an outlay?

atb to the remaining followers.

pachandl - 13 Jan 2006 10:19 - 2163 of 2262

Super - we seem to have had a similar level of "success" with Tad (provided you divide your figures by 10 when it comes to my performance). Although I am still in profit I am a current holder so the chances are that I will end up like you - slightly in the red. All the best with your future investments.

Waking NED-----a winner

blinger - 13 Jan 2006 13:04 - 2165 of 2262

I see this poll was rapidly pulled by the chief cardie when a majority of those polled seemed likely to say `leave things alone`, 33% did anyway, what a gang.

I don`t ever recall TAD being a " stockbroker darling" superrer; any stockbroker I ever spoke to ( and I am going back to its commencement) laughed at the name, it was always the subject of penny -share dreadfuls` tips`,ramping on bb`s, and
a total lack of profit for 20 years.In fact I reckon that but for the tip-sheets and rampers it would have collapsed years back.
After saying that, I have traded TAD on and off to the tune of 200k turnover over the years, plus more during its` better days when one could spread bet it.I made a decent return , mainly on shorts, but significant amounts long.Its always been merely a short term trading share, ironically all the time that " he who has departed" and gang were bringing the wrath of some satanic devil-worship down on anyone who was negative, I quietly amasses a few bob both long & shorting it- the gang always said one couldn`t short it, one could.
Its useless for anything now long or short, and will be put down soon, the cardies will never get an EGM, and certainly won`t sack anyone.
I bid you a good weekend.

ps the trick is that the 200k turnover was traded with about 5k cash, closing on T+ in the main.Not bad to have made anything from such small outlay.

put your specs on.

i said STOCK MARKET DARLING.

( all shares are stockbroker darlings, because they EARN from them)

blinger - 15 Jan 2006 18:52 - 2168 of 2262

er yes super I know that,but we obviouslyb dealt with a totally different sort of stockbroker, any time I mentioned TAD to the four I used "yuuckk" was the word, darling didn`t come into it---however as a trading share via "without advice" brokers it had some pull.
