I see the Chief Cardie boasting that there may be $10m dollars after the latest sell out -IF - it ever arrives, there is however a major problem, they are burning cash at the rate of $14m a year, the $10m equates to about <2p share roughly, and THAT is what keeps the price from dropping to zero.
As the cash burns so does the share price- there goes another dollop today-DOWN
4%.
What a bunch.

Hi No1 and Yuff.

Surely the management will not squander another chance to get this awful
company into profit.

Ok i will set 2.75p offer as a buying in price if i get lucky.

Actually had no idea it was only 3p offer now so i'll go for 2.5p offer
instead, last time i looked it was 3.75p offer.

gravy- try 0.1111p

g`luck!
Uno!

The questions that need answering, in my view, are as follows:
1. How far have operational costs incurred in the period 1.6.04 - 1.6.05 been cut? 2. What is the current cash burn (not to be confused with the constant write-down in asset prices which have no real meaning),
3. IF the current deal goes through, what investment will this private equity firm put in that might lead to Tad's 20% holding ending with a small yearly profit?
4. How will the $12m be invested in current Tad operations.
Until these uncertainties are resolved the sp will stagnate.

If you haven't bought already might be better to wait until the current proposal becomes clearer ie if it does go through do Tadpole have to match the investment of Divest Capital.
Also once streaming goes there goes all the potential of a growth company.
The board have been naive in getting involved with SW and he has got the SD for a song if shareholders vote for the deal, personally I would rather close the SD division down and sack SW and let him sue Tadpole, it loses us $12m but thats only 1.5p on the sp and it might get SW back to the negotiating table if he thought he might lose his lifes work.

The title of this thread "Tadpole , Microsoft/ Hewlett Packard Alliance." (sic) seems strangely remote from whatever's left of Tadpole actually does. There never was a Tadpole , Microsoft/ Hewlett Packard Alliance. There never will be.

Time to give up on this thread?

Perhaps ML could change the title - or does he currently reside in a debtors' prison?

Can't believe this company is still going, chart looks like the priest may be needed anytime soon!!!

I see that today there was an announcement that all 8 main providers have agreed on a uniform technical standard for instant messaging. Probably not relevant to Tad - but if it is then "just another nail in the coffin".

I see blinger has finally thrown the towel in @13.30pm today, what will he invest his cash in now, it won't go far on Jack Daniels.

LOL

Is there a buyer in the wings? Surely not.

still trading south of the 50 day and 200 day moving averages, almost trading down at the price of a 1969 sherbert dip now.

last one out please turn out the lights ...............

Snappy - The lights went out long ago but by resurrecting this thread you have simply re-lit the room - and what a mess we find it in.

pachandl--no problem the cleaners will be in soon, have it sorted in no time?

Either that or we have all been taken to the cleaners.

have to larf, Iain's latest alias has been automatically filtered on advfn!
Worse than being banned he actually believed he was preaching wit and sarcasm whilst committing his favourite pastime onanism!

that jocarsons an unlucky guy over on the otherside first of all he is automatically filtered and then to top that they remove all of his posts.
Poor guy he probably needs some Jack Daniels after all that!

I filtered him within 2 days of his appearance - I had already required a couple of stiff whiskies after reading his first few posts.

it is quite amusing that he pretends to be someone else who sold out of tad years ago and thinks lots of posters are impressed.
There must be a medical name for his condition, or perhaps he was just happy to be let out over the easter weekend!
