'best interests of shareholders' = 'retail investors shafted'
Posted at 24/10/2003 12:18 by wiseghai
the collapse is because they sold off their assets for a ridiculous price and are now more or less a cash sell valued at about £700,000. what happens next is anyones guess but hopefully all will be revealed at the egm where we may also find out if mr jenney is a shrewd investor or too rich for his own good!

Sitting on the sidelines and warming the bench is never any fun. It seems that after months of uncertainties, recently released data shows that investors are starting to get back into the game. This indicates that investors are becoming more optimistic about the market's performance in the next few months.

I dont know joerob look at this rns, is this graham jenney a complete wally?
v strange - what worries me is the wording of the announcement in the first place "heads of terms" "operating assets"
all announced as if its a handshake they think is good, city and supporters all took a dim view "sell out" they cried, "cash shell now!" etc
TRA havent warned that they were in trouble (needing to sell something) instead they have sold something - possibly part of the operation that has been eclipsed by another modus operandi - whatever they didnt seem unhappy about it -
only investors - but even then the sell out that brought the price back to 1.25 wasnt large volume

so, im mildly confused and on that basis i decided to average down based on signals being misinterpreted
cheers

Hopefully Transeda are considered by the EDA industry (and investors)to be one of the 'innovators' as mentioned in this article...

It's time to return to 10x passion
By Moshe Gavrielov

EE Times
July 30, 2003 (1:49 p.m. EST)

With ASIC design costs growing from a historical $5 million to over $50 million, one would think that the big EDA vendors would be working on significantly better ways to design chips. Instead, the market downturn has forced these vendors to turn to financial strategies to maintain market share and some hope for growth. New "we do it all" solutions, "preferred EDA supplier" discounts and aggressive M&A have stifled the innovative drive of the industry. However, the user community has never lost sight of the fast-growing gap between what Moore's Law enables and what EDA vendors are supplying.

As the leaders of the high-tech industry emerge from their bubble bust and lingering budget hangovers, they will once again start yearning for the good old days when their EDA suppliers were focused and were investing in the next 10x gain in productivity and predictability.

The truth is that achieving the next 10x will take innovation and conviction. In the past, it has required risk taking, determination and skill to re-engineer the customer's IC development processes. As we moved from full-custom to gate-level and then HDL-level design, new business models formed. Standards were always de facto vs. committee-generated, and small companies with venture funding pushed the frontiers of innovation. This in turn pushed the big companies to innovate.

Innovation was mostly about technology, and much less about marketing and financial models. Customers developing leading-edge designs never mentioned the words "good enough." And 10x was always about demanding the best, and creating max-imum advantages vs. the competition.

We'll be coming out of the downturn soon and will be thrown into the even more challenging nanometer-silicon era. The EDA, embedded-software and systems worlds will collide head-on within project teams.

Soon we'll face the harsh reality that once again, our processes are out of whack with the 10x in costs, the 10x in design complexities and the 100x in verification complexities. Groups out of sync with one another will start introducing numerous errors and months of delay that could have been avoided. All flexibility to refine specifications along the way will be gone, as any change will create unpredictable effects throughout the entire project. System costs will increase because of excessive overdesign, the only alternative to minimizing system-level performance risks. Clearly, your risk of failure will grow exponentially-not a pretty picture. The potential savings you'll get from financial incentives to use "good enough" solutions will pale in comparison with these costs.

It will once again become obvious that it's time to get back to 10x and the fundamentals that allowed the electronics and semiconductor industries to thrive. As someone who spent most of his career on the customer side, I'm very disappointed that certain groups have lost their passion. Walking around this year's Design Automation Conference, our key industry trade show, I was underwhelmed by the innovation I saw, and overwhelmed by the increased role of committees, marketing hype and politics, which seem to sap creative energy that should be focused on the customer.

Choose the innovators
Unfortunately, we can't wait for the downturn to be over to get the 10x passion back. So ask your EDA vendor what best-in-class, innovative solution it is working on that will be able to deal with the harsh realities you are facing today, or are about to face. If the company is just reshuffling the same deck of cards, adding some new veneers or creating new bundles of the same components, maybe you should reconsider which company you've chosen to move you forward to the next 10x.

I had noticed that some Tech companies pluss TRA(chip related) were moving today...

SAN FRANCISCO (AFX) -- European chip companies tacked on gains Tuesday after
German memory chipmaker Infineon Technologies reported better-than-expected
results for its third quarter.
The Bank of New York European ADR Index closed up 0.75 at 88.15.
"The market in Europe is sitting on edge waiting to see what will happen here
(in the United States)," said Wall Street Access head of international trading
Danny Treacy. Investors in Europe are still uncertain about a recovery in both
Europe and the U.S., he said, adding that they may become more upbeat if enough
companies report positive earnings results.
Infineon climbed 9 cents to $12.69 after it posted an 11 percent gain in
third-quarter revenue from the year-ago quarter and said it sees signs that
demand is improving for its logic and memory products in the second half of the
year.
European semiconductor companies also benefited from a Lehman Brothers upgrade
on chip equipment stocks and Texas Instruments' better-than-expected second
quarter.
ASML jumped 92 cents, or 8 percent, to $12.27, while STMicroelectronics
climbed 55 cents, or 3 percent, to $22.71.
British chip designer ARM declined 11 cents, or 3 percent, to $3.77 after
reporting that its second-quarter net income fell 62.5 percent and revenue fell
27.4 percent from the year-ago quarter.

SAN FRANCISCO (AFX) -- There'll be plenty of prognostication and
pamphleteering next week as chip-equipment companies show off their wares and
speculate on the future.
Investors and analysts will be watching for comments on near-term financials, as
well as on long-term prospects for technology, at the Semicon trade show, which
is being held in San Francisco and San Jose, Calif.
The stock prices of many chip-tool companies, including Applied Materials and
Teradyne , will be under scrutiny.
Investors have benefited in recent months from a more optimistic view on the
second half of the year. Shares of Applied, Novellus , Lam Research , Teradyne
and KLA-Tencor are all at or near two-year highs.
"I believe the stocks are pretty highly valued, but we should see some better
news coming out of Semicon and the earnings calls," said equipment analyst
Cristina Osmena with Needham.

The text at the top and the charts provide all relevent info in one place, for new investors as well as old, but mainly for myself. May I suggest you get a wheel mouse, you can then scoot straight past the bits you dont want to see, or start your own thread.

Yes but as the general sentiment improves both here and especially in the US it is more likely that Banks and or Investors will be more likely to try and keep TRA afloat. Light at the end of the tunnel is an important issue here (IMO)

The Bear Market is Dead -- Long Live the New Bull: Chet Currier
June 13 (Bloomberg) -- It's time to recognize the revitalized action in U.S. stocks for what it is fast becoming -- a new bull market.

Plenty of skeptics will say I am jumping the gun. At a price- earnings ratio of 32 to 1 for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, the market looks too overvalued to be starting a sustainable recovery.

The problems that led to the slide of the past three years are a long way from solved, including the threat of economic deflation depressing prices, profits and jobs.

Well, since when did markets wait for a turn of events to be confirmed by hard evidence before taking it into account? If what we see now can't yet be officially stamped a new bull market, it will serve until the real thing comes along.

From its low on Oct. 9 through yesterday, the Wilshire 5000 Index of all actively traded stocks based in this country climbed 2,210 points, or 30 percent. If we use the index as a gauge of market value, $2.21 trillion was added to the wealth of stock investors.

True, that's only a fraction of the $7.41 trillion erased from investors' net worth between March 2000 and October 2002. In percentage terms, though, it matches up with the index's 31.6 percent gain in the first eight months of the recovery from the last bear market, in 1990.

After the Fall

Over an eight-month span after the market bottom following the Crash of 1987, the popular averages posted gains of between 20 percent and 25 percent.

When we say a new bull market is dawning, does that mean that stocks will encounter nothing but clear sailing ahead? Of course not. Each bull market takes a different form in both length and strength.

To find a precedent of a relatively short-lived bull that gave way to renewed troubles, we need look no further back than the early 1970s. Coming out of a 30 percent decline between December 1968 and May 1970, the S&P 500 rose 80 percent into early 1973, according to my Bloomberg.

Then it plunged anew by more than 40 percent over the next 22 months. The 1973-74 bear market took the market lower than it had been at any point in 1969 or 1970.

Leading Edge

Defining bear and bull markets has limited predictive value, at best. So why bother? For one thing, stocks are a sensitive, if imprecise, barometer of conditions in the broader economy.

The market's recent behavior can be interpreted as evidence that the dislocations caused by the Internet boom and bust are starting to correct themselves.

The median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg News looks for economic growth in this country to step up from 2 percent in the soon-to-be-concluded second quarter to 3.2 percent in the third quarter; 3.5 percent in the fourth quarter and the first quarter of 2004, and 3.7 percent by next year at this time. If the forecasts err, maybe it is on the cautious side.

Too pollyannish for you? Stocks' recent gains can also be viewed more warily as a sign of new speculative energy building up in the market - enormous amounts of ``liquidity'' looking for a place to go.

Flow with the Go

``Over the last few months or so, the Federal Reserve has been communicating loud and clear with the markets,'' says Greg Jensen, an analyst at Bridgewater Associates in Wilton, Connecticut. ``The Fed wants long rates down. Bond yields have continued to fall in the face of seemingly improving economic and market conditions.''

The intent, by all accounts, is to prevent a serious spell of deflation -- and a worthy purpose that is. In the pursuit of that objective, it isn't very hard to imagine the Fed's stimulative policy encouraging renewed inflation in stock prices.

During the stock bear market, we have seen impressive, even scary, money flows into some types of real estate and bonds, including a rush of money since last winter into junk-bond mutual funds.

Though short-term interest rates have been cut to near- negligible levels, $2.18 trillion still sits in money-market mutual funds, $1 trillion of that in retail funds held by individual savers and investors.

If it didn't take strong growth conditions to pump up real estate and the junk-bond markets, the stock market could be next. Even a moderate recovery in economic activity might be all that is needed to put a new jolt in stocks.
