I see Peter Bertram has just been appointed Chairman. He also holds the same position with Timeweave (TMW), where I hold shares. Have a look at that. If you want a quick resume let me know, but all I can say is, if he is as ineffective here as with TMW, you will have a long, long wait for any action.
Not stirring it, just trying to help.

Has the turning point arrived? This could be a good recovery play imo.

How come Alex Connock is still running this company?

Interesting and Thank you. I initially bought these on the Strength of Brian Waldron's integrity...good thing I sold when I did.

they haven't changed their holding - the number of shares in the company has gone up hence their % holding has gone down - its called dilution!

What is Capital Research and Management up to? Last week's confusing RNS announcemnent implies that they have reduced their stake below 5 % threshold. But read the statement and their 4.5% stake is the same before and after the 'transaction' which triggered the announcement. Never knew that Capital ever had a TAL stake in the first place. Perhaps they have come in as part of the latest share placing. If so, it should be good news for TAL. Capital is a big and smart US fund manager. Why would it be messing around in a clapped out minnow like TAL, with a market cap of less than £10m, unless it thought there was some serious upside. Like everyone else I am not enamoured by TAL's performance and its grossly overpaid top management. But could the analysts at Capital have spotted some hidden potential in TAL's discredited business model which the market has missed?

i wonder why directors have never bought shares in their own
company now thats a gud question . but they all own millions
of shares. As Bob Geldorf would say 'Give me the furking money'
i think many people have been caught out here! They were due
to give themselves another share pay out, until they were
rescued from bankruptcy very greedy

I wouldn't touch these at 0.005p let alone 5.5p

[bookiebuster] 21/1/2011 15:16

Its basically an outdated badly-managed bedraggle of fading media outfits/liabilities

No cost control for starters, accounts show in 4 years they've smoked -£90 million on admin expenses. Splashed the cash on tinpot companies with low rates of return then did nothing with them, acquisitions for the sake of acquisitions. Hanson plc it aint

With debt worth double the market cap Ten Alps will eventually be stripped for parts by its creditors, imho

Hi guys I was in this at around 50p when I sold out. I have paid much attention to it for years but I was shocked to see the share price today in the latest falls section. Anyone please tell me why the share price has fallen so low. Cheers Dan.

Nice try on the P&D chaps.

I think the term the 'kids' might use is EPIC FAIL I believe.

I wouldnt trust TOSINFO as far as I could throw him....

[tez123] 20/1/2011 15:28

I work in construction media and have done so for over 10 years.

Ten Alps used to be a direct competitor and if they are still around in 18 months i will be extremely surprised.

Friday's RNS was a reiteration of the resolutions announced last month, a near-doubling of shares in issue and another loan to fund the broken business model

Net tangible assets as of Sept 2010 were -£3.6m, and will have only got worse

Debt exceeds the market cap. £11m of liabilities secured against all the assets

Loss-making margins in a shrinking sector can only mean one thing... Strong Sell

[tritog] 17/1/2011 08:48

looks like 'pre' vying for king of the pumpers!!

First dumpers at 6.8p more to come with wide spread trapping the newbies in who don't know the full history here.

[moreforus] 17/1/2011 08:34

[moreforus] 17/1/2011 08:29

Looks to me like a lot of hot money will be barking at TAL from 8am.

Keep an eye out for ALBA, takeover rumours may come to a head.

[wi5eguy] 16/1/2011 23:13

Pre: Lets hope it is not marked up before open, i did not manage to get what I wanted on Friday so looking to sneak a few more in on the bell. GLA
