I am fearful that it might be possible that the company (Tahera) has previouslly negotiated with the banks to hold Tahera shares with guaranteed buy back prices much as or like a mortgage....but has ALSO possiblly allowed them (the principles) to retain voting rights. How else could they get enough votes for item 3 from so many disgruntled share holders?

Anyone else having nightmares?

Anyone here have any great stock pics? I have a couple, good picks, love the stock market, seen many people making alot of $$$ and seen many lose alot of $$$$, anyway , any smart experienced traders in this thread?
let me know...AND HOW HIGH SHOULD WE EXPECT TAHERA TO GO UP THIS YEAR?

I really don't think the big banks care about share dilution. They are big enough to weather a storm. If they believe in a company and think the company is solid, they will just buy more when the price goes down due to dilution. In time they know the share price will go up and their mutual funds will look real good. We should use this as an example for ourselves. But watch out. don't be missled by a buy from a bank. The bank may have done a cross trade within its own company. A cross trade could be as simple as a trade between the desk of a equityfund manager to a precious metals fund managers desk sitting side by side. In Ka-hoots. White colar crime. They do this to make their funds look better. Next week they switch them back at pre-arranged prices.[/quote]

RBC buying 50000 shares, if true, is pretty insignificant, don't you think? RBC makes what.. 1.5 B per quarter profit? 50000 shares costs what.... 26000? Not to mention that I own more than 50000 shares. Makes me nervous a bit, but then again, it's a much larger percentage of my net worth than RBC's.

Maybe they have a whole lot more shares already. Hmmmm. Be nice if you were out a few orders of magnitude on your share count. Were you talking in thousands? That would be nice.. lol... but given the trade volume, I doubt it.

Naturally, we would all like to see a quick ten bagger on this puppy. However, a double in value over 4 years is a nice return of about 18%.. I would love my investments to do that over the next few years. Freedom 45 has a nice ring to it... lol.

Would it not be to our advantage to have a low share price going into R/S?
There is a better chance of a run up from say a $2.50 share than a $5.00 one.
I know and understand our money invested is the same before and after but seems to me that a lot more people would buy at the lower price,pushing it even higher.

Tahera1,

Just to go off topic briefly; There is a company listed on the AIM market in the UK called Mediterranean Oil and Gas (MOG). Not surprisingly, it is an oil and gas producer which seems to have very good prospective licences off Italy and in Tunisia. It's already cash positive. You would probably have to buy the stock through a telephone broker rather than on the web. Do your own research though - as with all smallish commodity stocks there are risks (although they seem to be minimal with this company). As for Tahera's share price - I suppose it's all down to newsflow which at the moment seems a bit thin on the ground... Come on Mr Gillin, let's have something to perk up the troops (and the institutions).

Cheers

I will give you a few picks I like. I have had the opportunity to hold FMM and SLW for several months now and they have been amazing for me. FMM has just undergone another project and their future is extremely promising. It was also John Embry's (chief investment strategist, Sprott Asset Management) Third Top pick on Robtv on April 17th (http://www.robtv.com/articles/rob.tv...l_tonight.html). I am seeing a lot more legs on the energy precious metals bull run right now with the stuff going on around the world. Iran, summer driving, hurricanes, Bolivian uncertainties... I also own ESI and TDG.UN. My largest position though is right here with TAH. GO GREEN... This year will hopefully be another good ride.

Sorry for getting off topic. Here's to news this Friday hopefully.

I have not recieved any package yet for voting. Guess they forgot me here in the corner of the NWT. When is the meeting slated for? I definitely am looking forward to exercise my vote in this case. NWTCAM....have you got your voting material in YK?

it's amazing to see what effect a little optimistic talk will do to a stock.

Budget Reaction
Joe Handley, premier, Northwest Territories

He mentions diamonds 4 times in his 5 minute interview, plus building a permanent road (to the diamond mines as well) and look how Tahera bounces back, even though it's in the neighbouring land. That's what I call "promotion" and good PR. Let this company release semi-decent Q1 results and we might see a surprizing run despite of R/S, me thinks .

Where are you getting this information that 'RBC' bought 50,000 shares of Tahera? From the last 10 trades on www.tsx.com? These are merely the brokers that act as agents to buy and sell shares. I deal with RBC Action Direct, if I put in a buy for 100,000 shares, 15 minutes later (because of the delay) a trade with RBC as the buyer will show up, this trade represents the shares I bought with RBC acting as my agent....... So, what are you talking about when you say RBC bought 50,000 shares? That could have been a trade that some average joe made....

I agree. For a stock that costs a lil over 50 cents, i cant see RBC only buying $25000 worth. RBC must've been the broker the individual went through.

7. A good budget for Canadian mining
News Release

May 3, 2006 - OTTAWA - The Mining Association of Canada (MAC) today expressed support for Budget 2006, tabled yesterday by the Honourable Jim Flaherty, Minister of Finance.

"Budget 2006 delivers on many of the Canadian mining industry's priorities," stated Gordon Peeling, President and CEO of MAC. "Canada's mining industry is booming, creating new jobs, strengthening our trade balance and feeding federal coffers. Our ability to do this over the long term depends, in part, on the country's tax competitiveness. This year's budget takes us in the right direction."

Measures of particular interest to the Canadian mining industry include:

- The elimination of the federal capital tax as of January 1, 2006, two years ahead of schedule. For a capital-intensive industry like mining, the end of this onerous tax on productivity is welcome.
- The elimination of the corporate surtax by January 1, 2008 and the reduction in the corporate income tax rate to 19 percent by 2010.
- An effective two-year extension of the 15 percent mineral exploration tax credit for flow-through share investors.
- The elimination of the excise tax on jewellery.
- The elimination of the double taxation of large corporation dividends.

MAC expressed disappointment, however, that Budget 2006 failed to expand its investment in geoscience, particularly in northern Canada, by supporting the Cooperative Geological Mapping Strategy (CGMS).

"Renewed investment in geoscience is critical to address the looming crisis in declining base metal reserves, which is placing Canadian smelters and refineries at risk," noted Gordon Peeling. "We will continue to press the federal government to re-invest in minerals science research and mapping that is so important to northern Canadian opportunities and to maintaining Canada's global leadership position in mining."


I got this information from Permafrost Media

Good research MakeMeorBreakMe. Thankyou. Good to see other people watching out for the rest of us.

Hello everyone.
Courtesy of my accountant:
Flow Through Shares. The 15% Mineral Exploration Tax Credit for investments in flow-through shares has been reintroduced for agreements entered into between May 2, 2006 and March 31, 2007 for exploration that is conducted before December 31, 2008.
Depending on what agreements Tahera can come up with, it can't hurt. Cheers all, antiki
