.....just looked on the ITC website and found this in relation to the litigation:

The Commission has determined to extend the target date for completion of the
investigation by two weeks to Monday, March 9, 2009.

...which is today.

From Interim Statement: (the 23rd Feb 09 has been and gone - no news?)

Sucralose volumes increased by 6% over the comparative period in the prior year. Sales values were lower in constant currency, but margins remained stable. Although the rate of innovation by our customers has been variable, the number of new product launches increased over the comparative period. We are also encouraged by progress in improving manufacturing yields as we implement process developments identified at our pilot plant. Our petition to appeal the preliminary, non-binding decision in our International Trade Commission (ITC) litigation against a number of Chinese manufacturers and distributors concerning alleged infringement of certain of our patents was accepted. The ITC indicated that it would now publish its binding decision on 23 February 2009, a postponement from the previous indication of publication on 21 January 2009.

Mind you the markets are crazy at the moment....I hold WIN, today they announce a new £50million contract and the price falls nearly 10%....!!!!

[brando69] 09/3/2009 10:42

"The Down" - would indeed be a good new name for the DJIA

[h4rsh2] 09/3/2009 10:37

dissolved in water...I think

[aspers] 09/3/2009 08:41

The bottom is when all the grains of sugar have gone!!!

[mzj71852] 09/3/2009 08:33

I think this may test 215....

The Down needs to drop to 5350 approx......

Good luck all. I want to buy in but where is the bottom for tate

[wendsworth] 08/3/2009 17:18

brando69, wormcatcher and others: TATE will turn and so will the markets and QUICKLY.

I just have a feeling that the US Senate Financial Committees are about to 'give ' the financials ' one hell of a boost which could set the market alight possibly even this month!

Remember its 'always darkest before dawn'and we are rapidly reaching the point where stocks are beginning too look way oversold.

[brando69] 06/3/2009 21:40

it just has a very systemic feel to it...

and it's being led from the US, based on the time it really drops every day...

[brando69] 06/3/2009 21:39

this is shorting, i am sure of it...

[amla] 06/3/2009 21:37

No shorting rns's.
Who is selling here?peeps?
Wait for the share price to rise more than 7p intraday,that means the results are'nt going to be so bad.
Crazy sell off,we all love our sugar.

[aspers] 06/3/2009 14:51

Worm....one day TATE will be as sweet as its product's....good luck

[wormcatcher] 06/3/2009 12:34

Hi aspers,
Gobsmacked watching Lgen today - very bumpy ride to be expected. Mind you Aviva and the Pru (along with the rest of the insurance sector) seem to be following them down as well.

As for TATE as said before want to take the plunge but no sign of this stopping its slow but steady slide. One thing that is certain in my opinion, when it picks up it will only be a slow and steady rise so don't think we will miss much by hanging on for signs of life.

[aspers] 06/3/2009 12:27

worm....I took a crazy plunge this morning and bought LGEn at a bargain 26p....only to see them hit 23p an hour later.....that said still a bargain I reckon....eventually when I take the plunge with TATE I hope the ride will be less bumpy!!!./....good luck with HSBC

[brando69] 06/3/2009 12:27

watch it fall to 237p at 14.35 this afternoon

[wormcatcher] 06/3/2009 12:24

Below 240p now.

Watching HSBC (HSBA) closely running up to the record dates for divi and rights. Currently at 357p with 5 for 12 rights at 254p with good yield. May have to break my promise not to buy any financials before year end, but will watch for a few more days.

[wormcatcher] 06/3/2009 08:15

I reckon end of March will be ok (have to show some optimism).
What happened to lgen close of play last night - one minute they were bouncing around in the mid-high thirties, next mid twenties. Unbelievable. No way of knowing which way the financials are going to go at the moment.

Meanwhile, TATE happily dripping away at a few pence every day.
