Ahh you are all awake - I thought you'de dropped off.
Are you sure they've not stolen it?
Liverpool have bought ONE van. This is great news, why on earth is the SP still going down ?
Liverpool City Council local authority has invested in a Smith Edison van from leading UK manufacturer Smith Electric Vehicles, as part of the Department for Transport's (DfT) low carbon vehicle procurement programme (LCVPP). http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:TAN.L&display=discussion&id=7139151&action=detail
I have no intention of investing in this company but thanks for the 5 mins of entertainment in reading the last 3 pages of the board.
myo is away for a few days... back at the end of the week I believe.
west, no intention to give impression of concern about your welfare. However with regard to my welfare(!) will I be at the nob end of the following chain of interpretations? - myo presents his interpretation to you of what information he claims to have. - myo tells you not to pass his interpretation to the board without some interpretation of your own. - you interpret the interpretation and present your interpretation to this discussion board. - we all interpret your interpretation of the original interpretation and present our own interpretations to this discussion board. - we all wrangle about the invalidity each other's interpretations. Meanwhile Tanfield hasn't actually said anything that we don't already know! All fingers point back to little myo!
Agreed, but we can all discuss matters sensibly and swap info we have found , hopefully to build up a clearer picture.
Johnga, you talk a load of B******KS. If you can't talk sensibly, without constantly ****ging certain people off,for goodness sake SHUT UP!
...oh I forgot! You'll recognise me from my one-off email address...it'll have an @ in it! Lol!
There are 2 conclusions to this secret communication: 1. I am RS and this deal is going ahead or 2. I am a short in stature, balding, billy no mates pretending I'm RS and this deal is going ahead! Either way I can't help feeling you're falling to a little trap here, westsider, and that myo is trying to up his dwindling BB stature! PS Can I email you on your one-off email address from my one-off email address?! That would be fun, wouldn't it?! The ONLY truth is the market view reflected in the SP for better or worse - that is an SP without a St Helens ramp egging it up!
I have watched lately with interest and the same Bxxx Sxxx continues, at total lack of communication from the board, with any sensible comments. What I do however see, is some new, positive postings proclaming great things for the future, hence as this is the only positive news we get from Tanfield, perhaps newly elected Darren should give Dan an increase, for at least these postings are comical and amusing but totaly worthless. Spin at it's best!
Chaps- was anything mentioned about the current order book for SEV UK or Upright? I like the 100s of vehicles for SEV US but the silence about the Uk concerns me, not that I am going anywhere, my shirt is stuck to this one I am afraid. .... Myo- thanks for your inputs- I would settle for an $80m flotation anyday and I would not touch the Liberty offer with Johnga's
Johnga my belly hurts reading that last post...No news for 60 days? Any investor worth thier salt would know the deal could come anytime within that period... If there is no deal then fine, but if there is the BOD need to let the market know... I think the deal will be concluded and that is why SEV US have applied for another 60 days and put up $1 mil....
...I did buy in around news of the additional Directors' buys but sold again on news of the FURTHER 60 days window of exclusivity and happily realised nearly 20% profit on that quick trade. that so far has proved to be a good decision. I have a memory MrTriumph and I also trade with my own money. 60 days for me meant 'no news' for 60 days. No news meant a deteriorating SP as before. Why would traders remain in over this period when they can put their money to work elsewhere and hopefully make a few bob? The SP doubled from it's recent lows and given this static period is likely to fall back towards or to 10p in my view. There's no reason for it continue higher. There's nothing to suggest that the deal will actually materialise... ...AND if you want just one good reason to justify the huge question mark over this BOD, the strategies they are embroiled in, the TOTAL disregard for investors just look back at the announcement about the cash call: 'Such fundraising is expected.....at a substantial discount to the current share price.' I mean what a fecking stupid declaration! As if the SP wasn't then already in the gutter! Yet they still claim that all this about their aim to 'optimise shareholder value'. I retain my interest in this share because I can see a healthy future for commercial EVs in the niche market they aim to secure themselves. A cash starved entity will not survive, though, because it will be a slow burn evolution. We are also likely heading for a double dip in the property sector, one in which the lift business is directly dependant, and could take a further 5 years to extricate itself. With all this baggage and doubt, delays in promises about a proposed merger, tactics in fending off a perfectly valid and open offer from Liberty, and all the associated shenanigans, is there any doubt why the SP is where it is even now? Don't take my word for it, look at what the market thinks!
Myo all I can say is keep up the good work you do on here, I concur with all you say. I too have been in contact with RS and he seems a very genuine man, always pleasant and always replies. He is also aware of the many out there that publicy **** him off, he is also very aware that the market have not forgiven the current BOD for what has happened here, and as he puts it, it will take a big turnaround in Tan's fortunes to convince the many once again. Recently I have been a little disinterested in Tan, and have traded some shares, but did take up the offer. I have topped up again in the low teens and will hold now until this deal is done. Finally I agee it could be that some posters are deliberately trying to see Tan fall, and will not agree that if the deal does go ahead Tan will be in a good place. Johnga I am afraid is one of those people, it appears he won't accept any positives it's all negative, and he did state that he was back in after the Director buys. Why **** people off who are prepared to attend AGM's and report to posters that have not, it is all quite silly. Roy's email address has been posted on this board and if anyone can be bothered to contact him they can, but alas for some people, they just can't be bothered. They would rather post insults on a bulletin board than do something useful. Finally my final thought is this, if someone has bought shares in a company but all they appear to do is **** that particular company off what does that tell you, it tells me either they have not bought shares when they say they have or they have some other agenda, and it should tell everyone "don't believe a bl**** word they utter. Or are they merely attention seekers who have nothing better to do. Make your minds up!
'I have a lot of names on my filter list...'... ...I bet you do, myo! Proves without any doubt that you, just like sool, only communicate with people who agree with you! Silly man!
I concur with your contribution timed at 14.25 today Like you, I am the holder of both TAN and OPE but have not posted on this bb previously, even though I read the various comment from time to time. I have been shocked to read the "copious abusive and derogatory remarks" you refer to, and deplore the personal attacks, particularly the character assassination and demonising of Roy Stanley. Roy is a honourable man, a man of integrity, who I know has suffered grievously from unwarrented abuse from several contributors both on here and eleswhere. At the moment you appear to be avoiding direct confrontation with those who give the impression of having a personal vendetta against you. I recommend you continue to avoid.
Do you believe that the merger is a done deal and that the IPO will take place in the first half of 2011. If so what would you estimate the IPO would achieve and what percentage of the merger would remain in Tanfield All hypothetical I know but you must have thoughts on it, as do believe that you bought back in after the directors recent open market share purchase
...I find it interesting that MYOSOTIS will '...only relay parts of what I am told about the detail and have deliberately worded it as my interpretation'... ...and that SOOLAIMON on the iii board will do EXACTLY the same. He claims he receives emails from RS within 10 minutes but then Sool takes 24 hours to put his 'interpretation' on it before posting to the board! You have to laugh!
When I emailed RS a few weeks ago he replied pretty quickly. His email address is roy.stanley@tanfieldgroup.com Email him yourself about the concerns touched on in your 10:18 post and let us know how he responds.
we don't have to be sheep to view things in a different way to you myo! There are considerably more negative evidential FACTS affecting Tanfield, all clearly stated in the different posts, than positive ones. Your insults and name calling - let's list them shall we? sheep like 1940's in Germany sustained campaign part of the crowd negative posts...overbearing and ridiculous anyone like me gets shouted down personal self respect vultures lets just see who is the first to tell me I'm being ridiculous........could they be the "Liberty *****" No, myo, I'm not Liberty - but yours are a choice selection of emotive descriptions of those who don't happen to share your view. I would add that at least Liberty have shown how they can put MONEY into the company and do so on the back of substantial orders already received from China. That doesn't make it an easy option but seems to me an open an honest one. But as for you, myo, carry on living in in your fantasy of £70m coming into your life. Mate, it ain't going to happen! ...and the only reason why RS looks emotional is because his wealth has fallen from around £55m to about £1m and he's desperate to recover it (and it seems will do anything in his attempts to do so)! Wouldn't you look emotional!! If you want to trade your money away on a promise that's your business! I would like to see some firm and substantial evidence that ANY offer is likely. Your trouble is you don't like the negative view!
MrTriumph: 'I think if you check carefully we did see some money this week, 1milion dollars was paid to Tanfield as a non refundable deposit.'... ...in relation to the full apparently known deal £650k of £70m is a mere bagatelle. You might make a comparison of £5000 against an offer price of £500,000 in my metaphorical analogy. Hardly convincing as Tanfield already owns 49% of the 'bribe' offered!
Johnga One point of correction Any suggestion that the irritated seller would provide you a 4 month window of exclusivity for this imaginative offer without funding, allow you to extend it by 2 further months because you were 'almost' there' with the funding would seem extraordinary without sight of any cash whatsoever at this point. I think if you check carefully we did see some money this week, 1milion dollars was paid to Tanfield as a non refundable deposit.
