TGP has developed a nice base now for another run up. The important questions to ask are:

- why have management been granted a fresh set of options at this particular time?
- why have Goldman Sachs bought over 6% of the company
- why have Hazell Carr now bought over 4.2%
- why has 21st Century's web site been revamped and updated with news items and new products?

There's certainly promising news flow now. The Pay as You Drive scheme is on a roll - which should mean lots of work for TGP:

http://www.investegate.co.uk/imarticle.aspx?iid=327052
"Norwich Union deal extension drives Trafficmaster forward

Shares in Trafficmaster (TFC), which supplies digital traffic information and intelligent in-vehicle services, rallied 3% to 41p at 10:55am this morning after the company announced an extended contract with Norwich Union.

Under the agreement, Trafficmaster will supply Norwich Union with 35,000 "black boxes", which record the time, distance and location of a vehicles journey. Trafficmaster already supplied the insurer with 10,000 boxes last year as part of the original agreement.

Norwich Union is conducting an ongoing pilot to investigate motorists' preference for usage-based motor insurance and will use the boxes as part of its Pay As You Drive programme. The scheme has so far recorded over 10 million journeys from 5,000 pilot customers, with an average of 8,500 miles driven per customer. The company hopes to achieve a better understanding of vehicle usage and driving behaviour, thus providing a uniquely accurate risk assessment tool."

And here's a recent article from the Times - yet another piece of kit for TGP to install. Note that "The European Commission, which funded the study, has set a deadline of 2009 for eCall to be fitted to all new cars."

Here's the article:
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/newspaper/0,,171-2150190,00.html
"Had a crash? Well here's a car that can call for help
By Ben Webster, Transport Correspondent

ROAD deaths could fall by 2,500 a year across the European Union under plans to equip all new cars with a device that calls the emergency services after a crash, according to a study.

Ambulance response times are predicted to fall by 50 per cent in rural areas and 40 per cent in towns, giving paramedics a better chance of saving lives. The device, known as eCall, tracks the cars movements by satellite and is linked to sensors positioned around the car. To avoid false alarms, a message is sent to an emergency call centre only if at least two sensors are triggered."

Daniel Stewart reiterated their Buy stance on 8th May - TGP are on a current year P/E of 5.6 and a forward P/E of 5...

2006 2007
Broker Date Rec Pre-tax () EPS (p) Pre-tax () EPS (p)
Daniel Stewart 08-05-06 BUY 2.60 2.40 3.70 2.70

The AGM is soon, on 23rd May. Goldman Sachs and Hazel Carr have bought over 10% of TGP between them recently. Short or long-term, they will have done their research.

21st Century have so far fitted 3,500 Arriva vehicles. This still leaves 50% of the UK fleet, but trials are going on in Europe, where there are a further 11,000 vehicles to fit....

TGP will also be going for further regional bus fleets as an even bigger opportunity. But there are further opportunities in ambulance, fire, police, trains, taxis, cash-in-transit vehicles - if any of these take off the potential is vast. And if they don't, the Arriva opportunity is more than enough.

There's also a new news item on the 21st Century web news page - a 4 page PDF file called "10/05/06 FUTURE WATCH - CCTV for the future - Spring Edition - 1.7MB".
http://www.21stcenturycctv.com/

One of the articles relates to the Coach & Bus exhibition at the NEC - "Apart from making many new contacts, we were able to confirm what we had believed for a long time that we have a huge competitive advantage over other CCTV companies.

No other suppliers at the show were able to demonstrate tried and tested Wi-Fi capability, Heartbeat or Auto-Video download."

And there's a lot more publicity this week for road pricing which is being promoted by a government minister, all of which will also help the take-up of Pay as You Drive - which itself is being expanded by Norwich Union per this article today:

http://www.vnunet.com/computing/news/2155779/insurer-revs-black-box-trial

Things seem to be building up a head of steam for TGP. Hopefully the AGM RNS will be as positive as the last outlook.

Thanks for this rivaldo... last year peter ward issued an agm statement, lets hope he does the same this year!!

WOODIE - 11 May 2006 19:13 - 189 of 223

looking good with the smart money moving in ahead of the agm.

hangon - 26 Jul 2006 17:41 - 190 of 223

Earlier06 - sudden falls, anyone know what spooked the market?
(about two months ago - was the agm rubbish?)

skyhigh - 26 Jul 2006 18:10 - 191 of 223

what a pile of rubbish this is..glad Igot out a few months ago..

hangon - 23 Aug 2006 15:54 - 192 of 223

Well now, we seem to have Dirs buying a few shares (well under my 50k interest-level, at c.5k)....and the sp is distinctly southwards - can it be the Market has it wrong? (currently c.5p)
This eCall - won't it be out to tender? Or does TG21 have all the Patents sewn-up....I find this difficult to believe. And even if they did, they won't have enough service personnel (will they?).
So whilst it looks good on paper, it is a pile of rotting fish.
I have a small holding from av 12p-ish and likely to remain so. IMHO, and a pretty daft company-nane also.
Huh!

ramu - 23 Aug 2006 16:05 - 193 of 223

It is a pile of rotting fish - glad i got out last year. Hangon, checkout RodgerLodger posts in iii for background info. His posts were prediciting current SP for a long time.

hangon - 04 Sep 2006 17:52 - 194 of 223

Oh dear, a further fall as predicted in Shares.
I reaalyy should stop backing losers....are they short of cash, or is it just bad ideas they have?

queen1 - 18 Sep 2006 12:58 - 195 of 223

Hello - bit of a bounce today. Dead cat or genuine recovery?

skyhigh - 18 Sep 2006 13:23 - 196 of 223

Genuine dead cat !

queen1 - 18 Sep 2006 13:34 - 197 of 223

Maybe. Up 15% though so far today.....

skyhigh - 18 Sep 2006 13:58 - 198 of 223

Yeh... like so many other shares of this nature sp has gone down over the summer.. probably oversold and just coming back up a bit... can't see this taking off so
