From Tips.com........dream on 5p....LOLLLLLL

Tadpole (TAD):

Buying low and selling high is supposed to be the basis of successful trading and indeed, business of any kind. However, identifying what is high or low can be rather more difficult that it sounds. In the case of Tadpole we are looking at a stock and a chart that had persistently disappointed over the past couple of years and if it were not for the healthier tone on the stock market to start the last quarter of the year, one would probably still stand aside. But with the stock revisiting and then bouncing from below the 10p level we seem to have a buying opportunity. The suggested stop loss on such a position would be an end of day close below 9p, something that looks relatively unlikely given the way that the shares have crawled back quite well over the 10p level. The 200 day moving average at 15.5p makes for a decent initial target.

It's hard to know which person is telling the truth here yuff.
In my share world my friends would never even dream of deramping
a share i held so either you have sold up or you are not actually
friends with the deramper, you'd simply not tolerate a friend trying
to lose you money when there's no gain in it for them.

We have a difference of opinion, no point in falling out over it, after all it is only an opinion. I knew of his change of stance and he was perfectly open about it, he knows I would prefer him to be bullish about the share, I also understand why he is -ve.
I spoke to him yesterday and there isn't a problem with our opposing views.

What is there to gain by deramping the stock then yuff?

China opens up to Electronic Arts

EA is behind the popular and lucrative Sims franchise

Electronic Arts, the world's biggest computer games firm, is setting up a development studio in China.

The firm said it hopes to have 500 staff at the Chinese arm, which should help it capitalise on the massive demand in Asia for online gaming.

EA, best known for sports and strategy titles, is settling the plan's details with the Chinese authorities.

Encouraging more online gaming would give firms like EA a way around the software piracy prevalent in China.

It also provides ongoing revenues in the form of per-month user fees, as opposed to the one-off payment for a non-networked console or PC game.

Accessing games via mobile phones is also a growing business area for games companies.

Thus far, the centre of gravity of online gaming has been South Korea, thanks to the country's massive penetration of fast internet connections.

But China is following suit, with internet cafes teeming with gamers.

Experts believe it is likely to overtake South Korea within a few years.

How is that question relevant to me?
I am bullish on the circular and the acquistion and very happy with Tad's progess towards this EGM to which I have already voted YES via proxy vote.

Because he is your friend, what reason does he have to deramp
the stock if he has sold out, what does he stand to gain?

Moneylender,

The 200 day EMA is a better indicator of overall trend than the ordinary 200 day MA. Look at the comparison on a 6 month chart. The latter is useful, the former isn't. While you are at it, you will note that the 200 day EMA is around 13p right now which is a more reasonable upward price target.

Hi all, I've still kept the faith, though watching the price drop hasn't made it easy.

Still, I think you either believe in the Company or you don't, I do so hope that this deal proves the making of the new Tads and the rewards will come.

If others want to sell then so be it, it's their money and therefore none of any one else's business what they do with it.

Off topic - are you still in Dick, I trust you were at Selhurst for the momentous occasion on Monday night?!

What he chooses to do with his holding is his business.
I assume if he has sold and is de-ramping, it means he would like to buy back cheaper.
If you can guarantee me that the price will drop I would sell and buy back cheaper.
No one can give that guarantee, I think the risks are greatly weighted to the upside he thinks thay are weighted to the downside and as the EGM approaches I think the upside potential increases.
Thats why he has sold and I haven't.

Do you honestly think this share will come through? I went into profit on these within days of purchase and hung on waiting for more.Unfortunately it never came. I'm still holding ,waiting to get my original stake back. Any chance do you reckon? Sorry if I seem incedibly thick but I have vitually no idea what the future holds for this company. I'm in the process of clearing out the deadwood in my portfolio yet again ,and am really at a loss with this one. Help please ...in plain english and without the deramping fiasco please!!!!

At least do not do anything before the EGM next Tues.

sandrew64,

If you've read this thread and still have no idea....welcome to the world of Tadpole. It has a large population of people suffering bipolar disorder.

ariesr - 08 Oct 2004 00:39 - 990 of 2262

You're better off investing in something lke PET. It's a trip everyday! :)

As for TAD, will the wait be worth it? In the past 12 months, werent there better shares you could have had money in? For me, TAD was a constant chase to the end of the rainbow or promised land.

Just a mirage as it turns out.

But that's only an opinion, that story aint over yet.
