Last night I was just thinking about buying into traffic master...what happens I wake up to find they soured yet again on yet another contract win with mitsubishi...enough convincing of an old time Stock market favourite i say...!

I decided it's now or never and piled in...My own opinion is Traffic Master will have soared much further by the year end, especially after the 3 recent contract wins with major Car manufacturers, there will be a number of institutions following now, even more so i expect... correct me wrong one day, (my own thoughtss only...) but i trust TFC will soar past 1.00 mark down the line, do your own research as this was a classic growth stock success story, and one I think is back on track..

Do your own research as I spent the night thinking over Traffic master, this morning I convinced myself...I think i've found the one...lol..

(still bitter after missing Gresham however...sigh....)

may a nice day...jules.

TFC is nearing its 52 week low.
Have they solved the problems they had recently?If they have they must be undervalued.The Trafficmaster site says it has an agrement with Chevrolet to offer SATNAV across all models,fitting as standard on one.Standard fit contracts have grown already & could become the norm.
Does anyone have any info on where this could go.

up 20 % since last wk...can go higher,should settle at around 80,before any news.....any ideas..http://tfc

Its worth about 100p and will probably get there now that I have flogged it. I was fed up with waiting. (Reasonable profit.)

I bought last week at 55p,think i got the bottom this time.A bit of good news & some solid figures & they will reach 1,easy.

it seemz on the rise,volumes are higher....any views plz..ive heard its won some new comtracts and updated its marketing.http://tfc

whats up with tfc ?

Don't know.They have been very quiet lately.Thought i had got the bottom,wrong again.They need some positive news to stop the sellers.

Investor fined over bulletin board abuse

The Guardian

The Financial Services Authority has handed out a 15,000 fine to an investor who used an internet bulletin board in an attempt to boost the share price of the technology company Trafficmaster through "dishonestly obtained" inside information.
In levying its first fine for misusing a bulletin board, the City regulator said the investor, David Isaacs, had seen information about the firm while visiting an acquaintance's house. The acquaintance - referred to as Mr X by the FSA - worked for Trafficmaster at the time of the offence in the summer of 2003. Mr X has since left for unrelated reasons.

Mr X worked for Trafficmaster and received minutes of management board meetings. Mr Isaacs memorised the minutes of the August 4 meeting after reading them on Mr X's kitchen table. He also saw the September 8 minutes.

The FSA said Mr Isaacs posted information about forthcoming announcements of new deals for Trafficmaster on the bulletin board of the stocks and shares website ADVFN.com, under the pseudonym Diras.

David Mayhew, acting director of enforcement at the FSA, said: "Internet bulletin boards can offer a legitimate and valuable source of publicly available information to investors. But when an individual inappropriately obtains and discloses relevant company information that is not generally available, through the internet, then this will amount to market abuse."

According to Companies House, Mr Isaacs is a "business consultant" at Diras Limited. He could not be reached for comment last night.

The FSA said Mr Isaacs had cooperated with its inquiry and admitted the offences. He was not a person "authorised" by the FSA. In a decision notice outlining the fine, the FSA said: "The imposition of a penalty for market abuse is a very serious measure and the FSA recognises that, as an individual, the impact on Mr Isaacs is likely to be significant."

The FSA said that Mr Isaacs had bought 28,387 shares in Trafficmaster in three tranches for a total of 11,499 between July 18 and August 8. He posted messages on the ADVFN website on September 3, 10, 12 and 18 and bought further shares on September 5 and 8.

Stuart Berman, Trafficmaster's chief executive, said bulletin boards should be more tightly controlled. He said Trafficmaster had a high proportion of retail investors on its register and was quite a volatile stock, where 4% movements could be "commonplace".

Trafficmaster's Smartnav wins new deals with Mazda, Hyundai, extends Peugeot
LONDON (AFX) - Trafficmaster PLC said it has won new agreements for its
intelligent satellite navigation system Smartnav with Mazda Motor Corp and
Hyundai, and has extended its relationship with Peugeot SA.
Mazda will include Smartnav for the first time as standard for all retail
customers of the Mazda6, following the success of the special edition Mazda6
Zugaro including Smartnav.
Hyundai will make Smartnav a standard feature of its new Santa Fe SUV,
launched later this month.
This follows the previous success of standard fit programmes on the Sonata V
and Trajet MPV models.
In addition, Trafficmaster said Peugeot has extended its commitment to fit
Smartnav as standard on Peugeot 407 vehicles until the end of 2006, following on
from the standard fits in the 407 saloon and SW estate models announced in
November last year.

Mazda Production and Sales Results for February 2006
Breakdown of Primary Products

In February 2006, Mazda's domestic production, domestic sales, exports, and overseas production results exceeded the previous year's figures due to steady demand for its new generation models.

I. Domestic Production

Breakdown February 2006 Jan. - Feb. 2006
Units YoY
Change (%) Units YoY
Change (%)
Passenger Cars 76,471 +20.0 143,755 +24.9
Commercial Vehicles 5,217 +82.2 9,633 +100.9
Total 81,688 +22.6 153,388 +27.9

For the fourth consecutive month since November 2005, domestic production volume exceeded that of the same month last year (+22.6% year-on-year). The greatly improved results reflect the increased production volumes of new generation passenger vehicles such as the Mazda5, MX-5, and increased production of commercial vehicles.
II. Domestic Sales

Units YoY
Change (%) Units YoY
Change (%)
Passenger Cars 20,650 -1.6 39,838 -1.5
Commercial Vehicles 4,942 +43.4 8,827 +35.0

Micro-mini Total 5,433 +13.8 10,588 +8.7
Total 25,592 +4.7 48,665 +3.6

Domestic sales increased for the second consecutive month since January 2006, up 4.7% year-on-year. Strong sales of the Mazda5, MX-5 and commercial vehicles resulted in last year's total figure being exceeded. Mazda's registered vehicle market share was 5.7% (up +0.2 points compared to February 2005), with a 3.0% share (+0.2 points) for micro-minis and 4.8% (+0.2 points) total domestic market share.
III. Exports

Units YoY

Passenger Cars 58,466 +53.6 109,968 +43.2
Commercial Vehicles 152 +67.0 564 +168.6
Total 58,598 +53.6 110,532 +43.5

For seven consecutive months since August 2005, exports have exceeded the figures from the same period last year, with February 2006 exports up 53.6% over the same month last year. The greatly improved results reflect the increased volumes of new generation models such as the Mazda5, MX-5, Mazda3 and Mazda6, outperforming last year's results for this period. The Mazda5, MX-5, and RX-8 were major contributors to the increase in exports to North America, which reached 19,742 units (an increase of 41.4% compared to February 2005). Europe-bound exports increased to 26,727 units (up 117.2% year-on-year) thanks to increased volumes of the Mazda5, MX-5, Mazda3 and Mazda6 models.
IV. Overseas Production

Breakdown February 2006 Jan. - Feb. 2006
Units YoY
Change (%) Units YoY
Change (%)
Passenger Cars 22,472 +41.9 44,326 +44.7
Commercial Vehicles 7,850 +40.3 12,968 +13.3
Total 30,322 +41.5 57,294 +36.1
*Overseas production units are calculated based on the parts and component shipments for Mazda brand models to be assembled at overseas production facilities.

Overseas production volumes increased for the second consecutive month since January 2006 (+41.5%) due to increased output volume of Mazda6, Mazda3, Mazda5/Premacy, and BT-50 Truck models bound for overseas markets. February 2006 saw Mazda post the highest single month of overseas production unit volume on record. China-bound output volume of the Mazda3 reached 12,612 units (up 88.2%) and Mazda6 units bound for the US decreased to 6,600 units (-13.2% compared to February 2005).

mazda 6 and peugeot 407 are big sellers, we are talking in total maybe 50mil in sales for TFC, I am expecting the NU news to filter to the market on thursday, there is a rumour that the reason the TFC are tight lipped about the NU negotiations is because NU are making an offer.. maybe its an offer we cant refuse

even more contracts, even more bloody threads more like!!!!

License from NU.

it appears your very new thread is not good enough jules!!!!

Keeps on ticking up nicely.

Tfc seem to be looking for big contracts.NU and the latest Ryder deal in America could produce big sales which would change this company completely.

Should be strong until results in September.Next stop 50p.If it creeps up to 60p and results are better than expected be ready for a big jump.

It'll be a similar story if Pace Micro get their Comcast deal together.

bought in today..been told by a city insider that this will rocket tomoro

maestro less of that please
