Some time ago I was taken to task about a liking for Hot Tuna.Well I hope the taskmaster is watching the screen !!!

sold most of mine off when they shot up last time then bought some back in recently as a bit of a punt.Be interesting to see what becomes of them and they may yet bare fruit.

hi bb - punt here too - could go either way to be honest - literally a flip of the coin - if it goes belly up so what - if it recovers on an offer or something else nice!!

from reuteurs speaking to franny ball htt chairman (for now lol!) hi lighted slightly interesting bits:

"We will go with the sale of the brand," Francis Ball, who was appointed as Hot Tuna's chairman last month, told Reuters by telephone.

"Hot Tuna (International) will remain as a cash shell ... no doubt they will have to change their name."

Ball refused to name potential buyers of the brand or indicate the deal size.

"Discussions take place from time to time but I have had no written proposal or written offer at this stage," he said.London-headquartered Hot Tuna expects a 65 percent rise in sales for the first four months of its new fiscal year, the company said in a statement.

It expects narrower losses for the year ended June 30, helped by cost cuts.

Blimey - the chart makes F1 ground effect look amateurish.

under the radar????

Gone very quiet??

There's nothing to shout about I guess.

Up 20% are we going to reel in a nice catch???

????????? ! wot's goin' on ?

This from another board....


Hot Tuna has signed distribution agreements across Europe, (massive) Australia and New Zealand, whilst the USA is planned for the New Year.

Hot Tuna has a European / US website and and OZ / NZ website.

It has worked hard to get the brand re-established, through PR companies, and now it has offered the brand and all that it has spent time creating for sale. So someone gets the brand and the foot work has been comepleted (finding, signing agreements, creating websites) all it needs to do is put the brand into its own marketing department and away it goes.

How much would you expect another company to pay for all this?

The money paid goes into a HTT, but HTT will need to change its name a this name will go with the brand. So early next year at the AGM shareholders will be asked to vote on a new name and a new investment strategy.

Thoughts are of buying into gold, coal or r.e.m. The new HTT will have cash at a time that companies are looking for cash to push on with, so te new NTT should be in a strong bargaining position.

So this excitement is not about a clothing company, its about what it will turn in to with cash and the new investment strategy.

Looking good for tomorrow.

They love mining down under but there is a great big shark swimming around that will gobble up a little fishie!! (see the fate of Gladstone!!)

Going a bomb, yehaaaaaaaa
