Looking forward to these and the longer we have to wait all the better in my opinion. I hope they land towards the end of the year as the board will have a clear idea on 16/17 performance, I expect this to be profitable at long last. I have just tried a dummy buy and can bag at decent amount at .87 so expect there might be a less patient holder looking to offload.
Watching s bit of hidden villages produced by reef. Take a look at their show reel and Twitter feed as they are the jewel in the zinc crown. The more research I carry out the more convinced I am. The only word of caution is the board taking the company private, although we are fairly well protected at current low sp
.
The clue is the last RNS from August and trading up-date from May, All departments (other than the recent publishing closure) have been trading profitably for a while now.
I have to disagree with you and expect you might regret your sale, I also understand a win is a win so fair play. I am considering another 750/1 mill top up today so if anyone is considering a sale please do so today so I can buy in please. This will take me to a 2% holding here.
Was expecting results on 28th. We know they will be bad and are hoping for a better future, now they have ditched the loss making publishing group. However I am thinking it will come when the market closes in a few minutes. i am thinking it is even worse and they will get it all the bad news out in one hit. I sold today and hoping to buy back on Monday if it is as I suspect. If I am wrong them holders will be celebrating. I will be consoling myself on a modest gain banked.
here so when the profit warning landed in may this tanked on very small volume. The reverse will apply if we have a positive forecast for 16/17 and reduced losses. Sentiment will change and this will shift north at the same rate. I am now away now for a month so will check in on my return. ATB
Agreed I am also expecting a small loss. When we hopefully swing into profit for 16/17 there will be some very sizeable and useful tax losses from years gone by. I have been looking closely at the tv pipeline and it's very strong, the bafta win must give more clout when pitching for new business. We bought the reef to business for 5 mill and this has generated a consistent profit and on its own worth more than our tiny market capital
I agree that the mcap could easily be up over £20m soon. Returning to profitability would mark a very good turnaround. I don't expect year end results to be in profit, because they will include the £332k loss from the publishing business. However, having now shed that subsidiary, if the results show a loss of anything less than £332k then that would show the profitability of the remaining components, and should be looked upon favourably by the market. It would also show that the company is moving strongly in the right direction. A profitable company with annual revenues around £20m, on an upward trend, in an expanding sector, with a relatively high chance of attracting interest from one of the big players for a buyout. £20 million mcap minimum.
looking forward to EOYR and the long awaited turnaround to profit. O
What or where is there a 500 code? Who are MM? Is it abbreviation for market makers?
If you believe in codes the 500 code suggests by MM that news is coming and they are looking to gap the stock.
Tiny Mcap here, I am very confident TAL will have a Mcap closer to 15/20 million this time next year.
1. PROFIT 2. I have it on good authority that a strong pipeline is building so fully expect a much improved 16/17 - I expect we will get some more info on this at EYOR by the end of this month. 3. Very low free float- look how my buys ticked this up 4. Potential for a buy out - Sky and Itv could well be sniffing around ATB
That's a very keen purchase at 08:06 market open. :) What was the driver for your exuberance? On a side note whilst doing some digging I found this old article from June 15 and it is worth reading again. https://www.ft.com/content/55b56baa-15ce-11e5-a58d-00144feabdc0 What is key was the move away from publishing and moving into more lucrative programme making for daytime commercial TV. Here are just two paragraphs from that article. "Behind the board shake-up is a momentous plan to transform Ten Alps away from a struggling too-small business publishing trade magazines and making worthy but low-margin documentaries on social responsibility for the likes of BMW. Last week, Mr Woods unveiled plans to tap Ten Alps’ shareholders for £4.5m to buy a bigger private rival Reef Television. It makes commercial daytime hits such as “Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is”, now in its 12th series, and “Selling Houses with Amanda Lamb” (whoever she is). The deal turns Ten Alps into a midsized independent producer with a range of programme-making skills." "Meanwhile, Mr Woods will carry on squeezing costs. And he will cut adrift the division publishing trade magazines — once the group’s biggest business — if it continues to hold Ten Alps back. " It shows management are delivering on what they say. I'm glad we are moving away from the print business if it does not contribute to the bottom line.
For me this morning.
Actual bid / ask are usually a bit tighter than advertised. If you look at the buy / sell prices just paid then it usually gives you a better idea. Or, if you just have a normal online account without level 2, then you could do dummy buys to see what price you'd be offered for different amounts of shares. Good luck.
Usually all Brokers will charge more for a phone deal as it costs them more. That said you might consider changing your Broker. As non advisory i use Jarvis Investment. Whilst their website is a little basic, they are both cheap per deal and surprisingly good on bid/ask as well. http://www.jarvisim.co.uk/mainpage.html Be aware they make a hefty charge if you want to withdraw your own money. My view on the Banks are that they are both expensive and lack knowledge once you move past FTSE stocks.
Hi all, I,m new to this but thinking of buying TAL shares, the spread seams a lot bigger than all the examples I see when I research this up on the web So the share price is. 0.985 Bid is 0.90. Ask the s 1.07 If I buy on line through lloydsharedealingonline share deeling online I pay 1.07 If I sell I only get. 0.90 If I phone the broker a lloydsharedealingonline ,say I want to buy �50 k. He will only buy tops �10K. at a time so I think I pay �75 each buy , What am I doing wrong, Any advice would be appreciated,
Ignore my previous post everyone. It says NONE. I read it wrong. :(
Clicking on the Special Conditions link, the stock exchange site has this entry against bid situ. Bid Situation This security is currently engaged in a bid situation, whether hostile or otherwise. http://www.londonstockexchange.com/prices-and-markets/prices-help/special-conditions.htm I'm sure they would not put such an update based on rumour. Somethings happening in the back ground for sure. No smoke without fire!!!
There we go! Thanks matey they are indeed my trades. I feel the recovery still has legs and we could head closer to 2p within the next week or so. Dods you may well be into something there as this constant over the past week would indicate someone is privy to either a take over or perhaps better than anticipated results. Either way with the recent disposal the business is now profitable and can move forward.
Bought some on Tuesday Very pleased with progress
Nice to see a steady little rise here. And at a £4 million market cap, there’s still lots of potential for that to continue, especially now that the company have shed all of their loss making divisions. Looking good to me from these levels.
Well DODS have been moving turning from negative to positive earnings and also are literally moving in to the prestigious vertical city. http://www.the-shard.com/news/shard-announces-third-letting-2016-political-publi/ Moreover, London Bridge Quarters as in the area is fast becoming the media centre of London. News Corp had also decided to move into LBQ in the last couple of years. https://www.news.co.uk/2014/09/news-uk-completes-move-from-wapping-to-new-london-bridge-hq/ This tie up with DODS does make sense considering the industry they are in. I'm wondering if it was all planned some way ahead of time as TAL closing its publishing business ahead of time to merge with DODS would make good business sense (DODS has a number of publication magazine too). Clear out the decks before the take over. http://www.londonstockexchange.com/exchange/news/alliance-news/detail/1471257486766995300.html All coming together very nicely indeed. Strong buy imo; both DODS and TAL. We are going places!!! ADYOR. :)
