Whats everyones opinion out there? is the rumour mentioned in the express connected to the deal with the mystery telecoms company or is it a new deal? has anyone any concrete indications of any upcoming developments?
Either way Tadpole is an interesting company with potential. they just seem short on newsflow recently. I feel that decent newsflow would move the price forward considerably looking at past trends. (I know that sounds obvious, but there you go!)

Well done at last some sense from the management

I think for what its worth and I have no def info, that there is a second deal on the cards and if the word that I am hearing is true its even bigger that the first Telco deal.

But as always do your own research.

There are all kinds of theories relating to newspaper articles and speculation and we will never know, all we can rely on is what was said at the AGM and that the details of the Telco will be revealed in Spring.
One assumes that ETI are working to get the software moving with the likes of EDS and if the technology is a sgood as it is purported to be then sales should follow.
If a major US telco thinks its good enough then I would have though other Telco's would be interested as well.

Joke

President Bush gets off the helicopter in front of the White House carrying a baby pig under each arm. The Marine guard snaps to attention, salutes, and says: "Nice pigs, sir."

The President replies: "These are not pigs, these are authentic Texan Razorback Hogs. I got one for Vice-President Cheney, and I got one
for Defence Secretary Rumsfeld."


The Marine again snaps to attention, salutes, and says, "Nice trade, sir."

Morning all.

Glad that a certain moron has been removed from the site. I'm sure he frothed at the mouth when typing (and screaming at the same time)!

It would be nice if the Express article was about a new telco deal. I'm being a bit wary though. It could be that they have finally picked up on THE telco deal that we've all been ruminating about. The masses have seen the article and have generated some extra interest, hence the increase were seeing right now.

But I like the sound of the new telco deal rumour better, but wishing......

Perhaps good news truly is imminent and were seeing the ramp up towards the release?????

Here's hoping, cheers!

Something like "tadpole moved higher 0.375 on rumours of a major contract announcement"

I would presume that if a journalist from a national paper reports on rumours of a deal there should be substance to it as they would have more of a reputation to loose. However I suppose all that was reported was that there are rumours about of a deal. This is certainly true regardless of the truth behind them. Again I think that it is encouraging and can only help move the share price in a positive direction. Anyone think 25p is a possible short(ish!) term target?

pick a number between 10 and 100.......you are as likely to be right as any of us im afraid.

i have heard rumours today of a bid, though i dont have a clue whether its for tad or one of its subsiduaries.

that is not a ramp its just what i heard

I heard that to superod, maybe it just might be true.

I will sell out to a takeover at 150p.

pachandl - 02 Jun 2004 15:11 - 340 of 2262

Madafish - does that mean you currently hold approx 8 shares at present? Seriously though, there is still no real volume - retail investors are buying on the basis of market/newspaper rumour but normally its the "big boys" who seem to find out first as regards any imminent announcement. No evidence of any such leak at present. Still holding, with all parts of my anatomy crossed (not a comfortable position to be in).

superrod - 02 Jun 2004 15:44 - 341 of 2262

i sold 15k today fot 250 profit.....still have shedloads but my patience is wearing thin

madasafish - 02 Jun 2004 15:45 - 342 of 2262

pachandl: 8 shares ? Far too many for me:-)

I expect when news comes (famous last words:-) we will know the day before because of the volumes. My "glass half full theory" (as described by you:-) still stands..
