We had the full front page of the Evening Standard on the .London announcement - I'd expect 'sustained' Mainstream coverage as the build up to .London commences, including specific [programming on the subject. That's beside Global coverage on that specific Geo & Country specific coverage on others such as .NWR! Enjoy the day all - this is just the start!

What I will say is that the confidence at TLDH is extremely high going forward and with such a Strong Base now in place to build from. The Fred Kreuger interview was further validation for that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CSbFBOlZBI People will make their own investment decisions but as david weill (one of the founders of TLDH) stated a few days ago, he certainly expects a pre-emptive Takeover approach as early as this year. H1 2014 should see most of the Applicant Auction action completed with ongoing Media coverage for certain key Geos. Buy, sell or hold but I and many others will certainly be here for the upcoming, major price rises and Takeover approaches. TLDH / Minds & Machines Limited has launched and we're invested for a major Price progression over the coming days / weeks & months until T/O!

An excellent link the to the latest interview with Fred Kreuger, TLDHs Chairman. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CSbFBOlZBI "What will the new gTLDs bring to the domain space? in 3-5 years they will take up 20% of the domain space, and at roughly 30 dollars per domain that would be an annual revenue of 1.5 billion per year revenue which he follows up by saying "im gonna go on record and say thats LOW" btw, hunglikea.Horse has been taken! https://www.mindsandmachines.com/

and a Very good near term focus with the upcoming Applicant Auctions on the 18th Feb leading into the build up to .London. We saw the major, mainstream (and global) coverage on first announcement with front page on the Evening Standard etc. The build up & Media hype associated with that should give us much greater, sustained coverage which will massively impact the Share Price for us, especially after the WIN/WIN auction event. Good times ahead & the Company very strongly poisitioned now!

Good times as we start to push back towards 20p over the next few weeks with Cash / Results from Applicant Auctions propelling the share price much further as we build into the extensive coverage expected for .LONDON. "indeed, only cautious traders would wait on an end of day close above the 20 day moving avg at 13.87p before taking the plunge on the lobg side timeframe on a move towards 20p would be the next 4-6 weeks after the 20 day line is broken" http://www.tradersown.co.uk/magazine/read/top-level-domain-holdings-tldh-higher-low-above-12p-brings-back-20p-into-focus_3348.html#sthash.lkHwXnCo.VSZZ8k7e.dpbs For fun - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6Sxv-sUYtM

We should have a good, progressive build up to the Auctions now with no further background suppression as seen previously - .London strongly following on from that!

As Antony says, it's often about the ones applied for and not won as much as those secured - we should see a healthy return from lost auctions through distribution of the second highest bid amount to participants!!

"An Aim-quoted company which is competing against Google and Amazon for control of new web suffixes such as “.app” and “.cloud” has raised $33m from investors to increase its bidding power in private auctions." In the first private auction last year, six domains sold for a total of $9m. To date, auctions have tended to involve domains related to niche areas – such as “.red” or “.photography”. “It’s a poker game – and you want to have enough chips on the table to be able to win some hands, lose some hands, and come out with the best outcome,” said Antony Van Couvering, chief executive. Mr Van Couvering says prices are likely to rise significantly in the coming year as bidding begins on the most coveted and potentially lucrative names such as “.blog”. “We’d be surprised to see any of the domains go for less than $1m,” he said. “Many will go for $5m-$10m and some will go for much more.” http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/bc9e8e06-8997-11e3-abc4-00144feab7de.html?siteedition=uk#axzz2rxj5HM75

I cant get a firm market quote and I've been trying since open (apart from one small 5K buy at 08:01:35) - larger ones aren't happening!

Thats what I expect to happen!

I cant get a Firm Buy order...

I'll be Buying today as a continuation of my topping up over the last couple of days. We're now in a much stronger position to bid for higher value names, operationally structured & with another top flight Director on board - and we we have the next Auction round fast approaching. Nothing to suppress the share price now as was obviously happening previously.

Exactly what I wanted from the Management, especially with the view towards capitalising on a very small window of opportunity and setting TLDH up on a much stronger footing as an Operating company through Minds and Machines Ltd. We have that now and at a price just bwelow the current SP - it also explains why the price has been slipping of late instead of pushing upwards - that should happen now as we move through the gTLD process, with strong Institutional investment and nearing Applicant Auctions on the 18th Feb. Bear in mind the Directors currently hold over 20% of stock and will have facillitated the funding to help push the Company forwards within the gTLD space - the clever ones will be Buying at current price levels & with immanent Newsflow due imho.

"This is what I wrote around the 1st Jan 2014 There's been various discussions about TLDH going for .BLOG & .APP but the concensus seems to be that those particular gTLDs will be secured at a premium price beyond the resources available to the Company. We obviously have the $15M allocated for one specific domain, again the speculation being that the external interested party may be Yahoo protecting its interests in Tumblr, which currently runs over 163 Million Blogs! TLDH have a very clever strategy in place establishing itself in the Registry AND Registrar markets, with the advantage of the OPEN Platform (we can expect further update on that from the initial positive indications already given). On that basis they're looking to challenge GoDaddy, 1and1 etc in the new gTLD Registrar space focus with the additional Revenue stream from OPEN. The focus on the GEOS also looks to have been an excellent strategic move, especially given the high profile contracts secured, especially the 80% ownership of NWR - revenues from that should even dwarf .LONDON. From that perspective alone, we have an excellent platform for Growth off the launch of the new gTLDs going into 2014. However, what I'd like to see is the Company securing additional cash resources to be able to realistically bid for both .BLOG & .APP. We're in a 'land grab' situation where once those particular Domains are gone, the party securing them will be able to capitalise on potentially Massive recurring revenues. The growth projections there are pretty astronomical as many will obviously be aware. For me, an ideal scenario would be the allocation of limited stock to specific Institutions to secure further resources, in addition to that which should be made available from the Private Auction process. That would be a Major boost for the Company going forward & its Share Price. At the moment I have every confidence of the previous calculated Share Price levels in the 100-200p range being reached - with .BLOG and / or .APP, the additional revenues & Takeover premium, people can make their own conclusions on the price trajectory! That's what I'd like to see - in some ways, it can be more about the domains you dont win as far as the Private Auction bidding system goes. Additional cash resources would give TLDH a more realistic chance of going for .APP / .BLOG. If they lost, which I accept is still the more likely outcome, there'd be greater resources available for alternative domains & promo. Institutions would be buying in to the already excellent investment case beyond .APP / BLOG specifically. Again, that's what I'd like to see happen -the Management of have shown themselves to be particularly astute in positioning TLDH in a top tier position in the sector."

Lol, isn' t that the way most people do it buzz. ;) Re: Takeover, we'll get paid the price per share offered by the other party.

Likewise sundaysun (and also accepting David's caveat about the wine lol) Atb

Sundaysun, I hear you on that but just put forward the possibility of the foreign broker being used. I recall trying to buy a stock on the Nasdaq a few years ago - their price was 3 cents but my broker in the UK had a job securing them, eventually charging me 3p per share!! That was with people offloading in a big way - just a thought. Btw, I sold at circa 29 pence but the stocks 362 cents now!!

Takeover action in the space will increase dramatically with TLDH almost certainly going down that route. That's not idle speculation on a BB but corroborated by statements from the CEO himself and further substantiated through the histories for such exits strategies by key Directors (review Fred Kreuger's history for a start). Bear in mind the Directors hold over 20% of the stock here. I'm ananticipating preemptive approaches here as I've made clear previously. We won't have to wait for developed Revenue streams to be established for that, hence maximising my own holding levels now. Almost certain we'll have the first approaches this year within H2 2014 as David Weill himself also expects - watch this space!
