Management trades?

Hey all,

I haven't posted here for quite a while but have been dropping by every couple of weeks to catch up on your thoughts. Periodically people post what recent trades management have made...can anyone tell me where I can get this info. I'm not in panic mode yet but I was kind of expecting a little more positive news, especially something about Muskox. Not mentioning it makes me think either the news is really bad and they didn't want to double-whammy the stock all at once or the news is good and they were hoping for a dip (ie. buying opportunity) followed by an upswing on the good news.

Things could be worse...you could be living in North Korea.

Try and have a good day everyone.

Harper endorsed????

Do you think that the PM would make such a big deal about our mine if it wasn't viable. What are your thoughts..... if PG wanted to promote larger investors why would you involve PM and then drop this bomb.

You are absolutely right....Harper would not have been up there if this was a speculative mine. Perhaps PG is one of those rare CEO's who believes in giving out the bad news as well as the good. So they are mining the lower grade diamonds.....so what????? eventually they will hit the higher grade ones.....perhaps he reads this board and is hitting back at all the negative comments or perhaps he knows that Tahara will eventually pay off and he is not about to suck up to anyone. From what I've read about him he is a straight shooter but maybe a little too cautious in what he tells the press. With this latest news things can only move upward. Hang in there Taherians.

That should be interesting to see...wonder if he'll mention anything even remotely positive or if it will be a word-for-word repeat of the press release.

Sorry Guys but I'm out...

I cant sit on this stock anymore... I've held onto this stock for a very very long time 2+ years and I've sold at some highs and bought back in but after today's beating I've lost faith..

If it dips below $1 I'll probably buy back in but for significantly less # of shares


I keep thinking that we'll be bailed out by Muskox or remember Anuri....? But it's like they're purposly trying to run the share values into the ground so what's the point.

i wish people stopped sucking up to this guy

I wish people stopped sucking up to this guy. "streight shooter...he brought this company this far...he knows exactly what he is doing..." STOP IT. please!
yesterday's news release was a frightening one and just imagine all those little investors (moms and pops) that just got scared and can't affored to hang in there any more. They lost thousands and thousands. I feel really sorry for them right now. and all this could have been avoided by more carefully wording this stupid news yesterday. I am convinced of that. What most folks read into it is the "lower than anticipated diamond grades" and they probably just project it for the entire operation. IE: "the diamonds are not there". which is completely stupid, yet I bet that is the "conclusion" most people walk away with after reading it. TERRIBLE. just my H.O.

Peter better be doing damage control tomorrow

I hope he reads this site as well as I hope he is watching the numbers closely today. He did not choose his words carefully today in the news release.... everything that the R/S was suppose to achieve has just simply gone down the toilet. He better have something positive to say because there will be a lot of people watching and he maybe able to recoup some of damage that has been done. Gaud for all our sakes he better come up with something positive because no one is going to take this company seriously after this dump.

In view of what has been allowed to take place and especially one that which has been delivered with such a ferocious indifference/arrogance, I am of the strongest opinion that the Tahera 'people' and 'association' need to enroll in 4 intense lessons/classes:
1) INDIFFERENCE to one's actions or inactions
2) GREED and its short/long term consequences
3) LOYALTY and what blind loyalty does
4) ETHICS / MORALS and what do they represent

As you may be able to tell, I am not upset. Why should I be upset, afterall it was only my money (shareholder's money) that Mr Gillin so insolently flushed down the toilet with his sick style of communication. I am not selling, because my average is $ 2.79. I am not going anywhere. Our Mr Gillin and 'company' would have to announce better than stellar third quarter results just in order to correct the unforgiving damage they created with their latest unprofessional / crude choice of wording / deliverance. Mr Gillin's public relations skills do suck, but I do not believe they are inherent here or accidental. It would seem that these people are hard at work where they deliberately degrading the stock all the way down to a pathetic penny stock at $0.22 pre - RS. And Why?

PS: Just before this Tahera PR was announced, I was reading about and was looking at a beautiful painting that was recently bought for about $135 000 000 by Mr RONALD LOUDER - the Louder cosmetic billionaire, possibly in partnership with other individuals (silent partners of the same feathers) with large appetite for lovely things, and then there comes this unexpected Tahera news release: It certainly spoiled my reading.

PPS: could it be possible at all that Tahera's chief directors have profound disdain for 'little shareholders' and want to scare us, you know, halloween fashion. It looks that way to me, and if so, for what reason, I ask? After all, they had no difficulty soliciting our involvment in Tahera via its publicly traded shares.This is really chilling. These people know exaclty what they are doing in my estimation. They surely know how to demagnetize--the spirit that is.

Seems to me that when I suggested that the reason for the sell-off was due to bad news that we small investors didn't know about, I got jumped on. I believe I also suggested at the time of the reverse split that it sounded like Tahera needed money, and I got jumped on then too. Any one feel like reconsidering? antiki
Diamond Mine operations update
TORONTO, Oct. 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Tahera Diamond Corporation (TSX-TAH)
announced today that its Jericho Diamond Mine continues to experience
operational issues. The mine has not yet achieved the nominal design production
rate of 2,000 tonnes per day. The process plant throughput rate averaged
approximately 1,700 tonnes per day during the third quarter, or approximately
85% of nominal capacity. A new crusher arrived at the site in August as
planned, and was operational by late September. The Company's longer-term goal
is to achieve an average processing throughput rate in excess of 2,000 tonnes
per day.

The average grade of kimberlite mined and processed to date is approximately
25% lower than forecast. The number of carats produced to date is lower than
expected due to the shortfall in tonnes processed and the lower than
anticipated grade. The majority of tonnes mined have been sourced from
low-grade resource material, and from additional low-grade kimberlite material
that was not included in the resource model.

Tahera is assessing additional financing arrangements to fund its working
capital requirements in the first quarter of 2007, as the fuel and other bulk
supplies for the full year are purchased at that time. The Company is also
discussing the deferral of certain payments due to Tiffany & Co. with respect
to the existing credit facility.

The Company expects to release its third quarter financial results at the
beginning of November.

Mr. Dan Johnson is Tahera's qualified person as defined in National Policy
43-101 who has supervised the preparation of the technical information included
in this press release. Mr. Johnson is an employee of Tahera and is not
considered independent of the Company.

Cheap Seats

Like Eradicator, I've been hanging around in the cheap seats for a while now - just got too frustrating reading unsubstantiated comments....

...my two cents on this, is that the news release was meant for people "in the know" - they have been processing the scrape they pulled off because they didn't get enough fuel to operate all their equipment, and the stuff was there. They were going to process it sooner rather than later.

My personal opinion is that they knew that people were going to wonder about the bad 3rd quarter results, so they announced the reason early. The 3rd quarter results are supposed to contain the Muskox sample results - maybe they are trying to focus attention on that? My guess anyway, focus attention on something good to make people forget they need to renegotiate their line of credit for next year's operating cash....

...at any rate, certainly a hiccup, and it has certainly made a lot of people fed up. So, is it a buy opportunity, or a bail wake up call?
