Thanks for the warning.
Do such things go on?
I am shocked!
Does this mean I can't believe everything I see posted on a BB?
Regards

As there are only a few posters on this thread I must be either snappy or Gdub ..... hmmmmmmm ..... what a fate ...... I wonder who will get the red card first


Martini

Have you ignored the 750k on the 04/02

I don't agree with moneylender at all - he thinks that Microsoft may be buying - I do not. I have been looking at the trades over the last few weeks and in particular the odd ones from 100k upwards - there are over 60 in the last three weeks. Overall I believe there are substantial active shorts from around the 7/8p level and below. I think some have been closed at a loss and some have been rolled over. I suspect the two trades yesterday were another rollover.

lol!

Don't be a smart arse, or I'll make Dil talk to you for hours about peanut hugging!
Besides, this is a new site which has probably attracted novice investors from 'Shares mag'. They need to be warned about ains.


ainsoph

Don't get cocky sonny, it's obvious you are trying to ingratiate yourself on this site by creeping around certain posters as if 'butter wouldn't melt'.
Your behaviour on ADVFN is a disgrace and the TAD threads over there resemble a verbal cess pit....and it's your doing! You are the most despised poster in BB history and there are a 1000 posters who'd like to see you get a permanent red card from every BB site.


snappy

'moneylender' is a known ainsoph alias. Plus ADVFN removed several posts by ains on the 'tank' thread today. He continually spams the shorters threads because they dare to disagree with him and they've taken all his money!

ainsoph - 08 Feb 2003 00:57 - 95 of 2262

I guess we will soon see if the management take their rules seriously or not Gdub

A classic, and conclusive proof that Ainsoph is NOT Moneylender!

"I don't agree with moneylender at all - he thinks that Microsoft may be buying - I do not." - Ainsoph


Don't agree? Then punch his lights out sonny! ;-))


On a completely different and (of course) unrelated theme, perhaps MoneyAM will take the issue of multiple aliases seriously and nip any abuse in the bud. Otherwise we all know where it leads. Are all these names registered on premium services as well (on either side)? I doubt it.

Someone was saying that Groove have released their new 2.5 ver - but they were not impresssed - difficult to print from it was one of the comments. Not an expert myself but welcome any comments.

Had my invite last night to SF USA and also noted it was a joint invite - has to be significant I suspect.

Moneylender - 08 Feb 2003 15:19 - 101 of 2262

Your Guru needs to visit Grooves Forum site and read the comments of groove users ( or should i say trying to users) below the latest post from a Groove man




Thursday February 06, 2003 5:57 AM



So the long and awaited version 2.5 which has been discussed by many forum participants for the last half year finally arrived.. Well installed it and started looking for changes--- and looking --- and looking...
What an anticlimax !!!
The 2 changes which by Groove is considered especially important is Outlook- and Sharepoint integration.
Other improvements are printing capabilities, but honestly - any application shuold support printing, so to me printing support goes without saying.

Our idea was to use Groove as a team tool, this means that input from outside the team -beeing Outlook or Sharepoint isnt relevant for the whole idea of Groove and team integration, since all our communication will take place within Groove - At least this was our idea. But hey Microsoft did put a lot of money into Groove, and this should give the right to apply a bit of pressure

Another big thing is "file tool improvements" Even though the default setting is "always syncronise" then not using the default setting is a major step back to non p2p thinking. We might as well place those files on a FTP site or use the VPN. I think that the real reason for this is to limit the sync. size of a Groove Workspace due to performance problems - also called a quick and dirty solution
What has been discussed a lot in the forums and anticipated in version 2.5 was the ability of having files outside the Groove WS beeing automatically synced into a workspace. This would make Groove earn the right to "killer application" label.

I still see no changes in Speed,Memory usage, switching speed or the specific tools - and I really do not know how to keep other members "hot" on the principles of Groove - They find all excuses not to use this, beeing programmers the have their facts in order, and I find my replies to them not having the same quality..

Hmmm.. .what to do wait for version 3 thru 5. ???

Best regards

ainsoph -

please spare us the relentless cut and paste on this site - save it for advfn.

on the whole you've made a good start without any of the nastiness you display on advfn. so good luck with your TAD - i hope it goes up enough to get you out of your losses at least (but that's a long way off i guess)

and i for one disagree with those who say you also post as moneylender. i suspect the only other alias you use is KDC.

Fugitive - 09 Feb 2003 09:27 - 104 of 2262

Apparently from Shares Mag:


Tadpole gets top marks for disposing its hardware arm last December. However its troubles are far from over. The group is still loss making and forecast to remain so this year. Sales growth now hinges on two key software products. On the upside, revenues at Cartesia grew 22% and the groups alliance with ESRI coupled with recent contract wins could re-invigorate the shares. That said, the stock remains high risk.

AVOID

Care required with this struggling loss making software minnow.

ainsoph - 09 Feb 2003 12:37 - 105 of 2262

Fugative - perhaps you can give a link as you say 'Apparently from Shares Mag'

ainsoph - 09 Feb 2003 13:29 - 106 of 2262

There has been a lot of very aggressive posting on other bb's over the last few days which seems to be associated with the rumoured shorting of Tads ...... one thought, that has started to surface, is the idea that some of the posters may be connected or associated with their competition.

Not sure how the rules work on this one but I would assume they should declare their interest??

Moneylender - 09 Feb 2003 14:13 - 107 of 2262

Well done

moneylender - neither you nor ainsoph would like to hear how i know you are not one and the same, though!

good luck nevertheless....

Honeyman - 09 Feb 2003 16:51 - 109 of 2262

ainsoph:

So who do you see as Tad's competition?

H

Fugitive - 09 Feb 2003 17:48 - 110 of 2262

ainsoph,

Before posting the link, perhaps you would give us your views on the assessment. Fair summary or not? Would you override the AVOID and recommend a buy? Everything hanging on 2 products looks like high risk in a bear market to me.

ainsoph - 09 Feb 2003 18:51 - 111 of 2262

Honeyman ....... not sure I am best qualified to answer you but you will seen the talk about the latest Groove software ..... I seem to recall Glaxo were having problems with their trial last year and there was hope they would switch to tads.



Fugitive - you seem very keen on the shares I hold and talk about. I never tip shares as we all have our own thoughts on risk. I do hold substantial numbers though and clearly believe risk/reward is on the right side.

The current suite of products looks exciting and receiving immense interest.


Have a look at this from the recent financial statement ...



After more than three years of investment, Cartesia is beginning to show strong
growth. Revenues for the current financial year are expected to be substantially
higher than in 2002, particularly in the second half, underpinned by a
significant contract backlog, including Ordnance Survey. Cartesia is expected to
achieve a profitable run-rate by the second half of the financial year.

2003 will be a pivotal year for Endeavors as the business moves its focus from R
& D to sales and marketing. With the core R & D investment phase now concluded,
product development expenditure will continue at a lower level with a consequent
reduction in cash burn. The development of partnerships that can provide
channels to market will now be critical to success. The directors believe that
the markets addressed by Endeavors' software products are very large. The risks
in this business remain high, but are commensurate with the potential rewards
that success in the target markets will bring.

Although the Group is expecting to incur an operating loss in the financial year
ending 30 September 2003, the directors remain confident that the Group has
sufficient financing facilities in place to support the current business plan
and strategy.
