competition rolls on, page-85

Hehe. Goldy, you're sounding a bit like a scorned lover lately. :-) I know how you feel.

One thing that is giving me a bit of hope at the moment is that the selling pressure has never got very intense, it's just been a slow spiral downwards due to lack of any support. There doesn't appear to have been any large shareholder dumping. Normally when 'something is rotten in the state of Denmark' you get much higher volumes than what we've seen go through in TZL for the last few months. My feeling is that we've seen mostly people rather like us (people who don't know what's going on) selling out of frustration, fear, or necessity. We haven't had the pump and dump action that would signify large rats deserting the sinking ship.

I reckon there's still a chance that the share price action is just reflecting delays that are not sinister in nature. My experience has generally been that at times like this when it just seems far, far too scary to buy stock; that on most of those occasions I should have shut my eyes and taken the plunge. I wonder if this is one of them...

My biggest worry at the moment is about the market in general, with Europe shuddering again just at a notoriously bad time of the year for stocks. Tax loss season could be a nasty one this year.
