Thanks for the reminder Rage, $50 Dollar Friday it is! Slap the ASK after 3:50 pm
Good point Pac, theyve been working on a super tucano for over a year now, they probably have something lined up for that plane, now bringing in a fleet of 15 - 20 planes is no minor acquisition, something has to be lined up to give them the confidence to make such a move.
Hey Epic, TADF is starting to wake up a bit here with the great news. Next week she will see a golden cross and in two weeks she may finally see a breakout of that cup and handle. GLTA

Hey Kavy, before you come in here with your nonsense, please respect this board and the work that has been put in to find information. There is nothing you can say that this board does not know, this is one of the most knowlegdeable boards on all of ihub, you just said you read about it today, well we have been doing research on this company for years. Good day to you sir
Gosh you guys, it almost seems like ETMM is toying with the chart, look what they did in the descending channel, just taking it slowly to the topline all the way to the very end, before it finally broke thru. Now, they took it all the way down to .0028 today, which is exactly the point of the rising trendline. We have seen ETMM do their tricks for the past 3 weeks. They are the only MM holding TADF down, they would have broken out by now if it werent for them. THey know something and its pretty evident from the great lengths they are going thru to keep it down. But its all good, they cant hold down this freight train forever. Just look at how beautifully the chart is setting up. This should give us the momentum to once again attack the .0045 - 005 range and finally breakout of the cup and handle pattern that it has developed since december. NOt only that, but next week we will see our 50/200 day cross, the great GOLDEN CROSS. Like ive been saying for over a month, this break of .0045 - 005 will be majestic. Becasue it will confirm a breakout of the cup and handle pattern and confirm a break of the last remaining major trendline from july 2010 that is providing resistance. Blue skies all the way to 5 cents. Please click chart to enlarge. GLTA

exactly right Red, they have done this several times, once that big fake wall gets tagged a few times they mysteriously take it off.
Hey guys, once again, after seeing those 500 block shares hit the ask the last two days it ran up, with a pr. Maybe there is something to these MM secret codes. Look at my post # 7421, the run up in early april was exactly the same, two days prior to the initial run, we were seeing these type of blocks go thru on the ask. Looking good
you are absolutely right kickbutt, at the current share structure TADF is only valued at 10 million. THis is absolutely insane, we are talking about single contracts that are worth 2 to 3 times what the current market cap is. Insane. Thats why Gerald, had his initial, very conservative extimate of 2.5 - 5 cents, post merger, based on 1x's Tac air revenues. This thing may be bigger than we thought guys. Hang on
GLTA
hey guys, dont worry about pps fluctuations, we all know the MM trickery that goes on, it has been well documented on this board by several members. For example, the news came out, it went up on over 10 million shares up to .0035, then within minutes, MMs brought the bid down to .0028 on no volume, then within minutes its back to an ask of .0035. this will have wild fluctuations, the important thing is that this master plan that has taken years to prepare is finally taking shape.
Hey guys, this news just proves that these guys have bigger and better things up their sleeves. The merger is done, we know this, just have to wait for announcement. This also confirms the fact that TADF has been focusing on the International arena, while Tac-air continues to focus on their existing contracts in the US. THe master plan is starting to take shape, maybe even bigger than what any of us envisioned on this board. Excerpt of pr below:
Pursuant to the LOI, through Tac-Air, the companies shall enter into negotiations with a certain allied foreign government to purchase (the "Acquisition") up to 15 military aircraft and related aircraft assets. TADF and Tac-Air intend to use the aircraft to bid on upcoming tactical aviation contracts as well as to deploy on current Tac-Air contracts with the U.S. Department of Defense.Additionally, pursuant to the LOI, TADF and Tac-Air shall share 50/50 all future profits derived from the operation, sale, lease, or any other use of the Aircraft. Tac-Air has the personnel to fly, maintain, and operate the Aircraft as well as the experience to manage any related government contracts and maintain operation control of the Aircraft. TADF has the resources to fund and the experience to support the Acquisition and the operation of the Aircraft.
If successful in closing the Acquisition, TADF believes, but cannot guarantee, that the Aircraft could generate revenues of between $15 million and $20 million per year for TADF and Tac-Air in the aggregate, and that the Aircraft or some portion thereof could be operating in support of a tactical aviation contract within 30 days of closing the Acquisition.
In the event that TADF and Tac-Air close the pending merger between the companies while the Aircraft are in operation, the combined financial benefit and ownership of the Aircraft shall inure to the combined entity.
Titan that sounds incredible, that would be the ideal situation. Maybe they got something up their sleeve, i do have to admit, since ive been watching them, TADF has been very savvy with their pr's. With all the attention surrounding the super tucano, i wouldnt be surprised if they already have a contract in place, we will know soon enough
you may be right Pac; its possible that there are pending contracts that are contingent upon the closing of this merger. TADF has stated numerous times that merger creates great synergy becasue their services dont overlap. Tac-air has a great foothold here in the US, which is currently fulfilling contracts from the DoD, Navy, and Air force. This has given TADF the opportunity to focus on International deals. The important thing is that both of them are in bed together. I will never forget Gerald's response to my question when i asked him if he could give me an estimate of Tac-air's revenues; he said he couldnt disclose (for obvious reasons) then he paused for a couple of seconds, just trying to tiptoe the line, then he said "Tac-air is a SIGNIFICANT company, with SIGNIFICANT Revenues". He made sure to emphasize SIGNIFICANT, both times. ANd that was the best he could do, without crossing the line and releasing insider information.
GLTA
hey guys, here is another nice article on the super tucano. Ive posted a few letters that congressmen have sent to the airforce putting pressure on them to make a quick decision on which craft they will select to deploy in the middle east. It seems that the overwhelming majority in congress and experts in the field have said that the super tucano is the only plane equiped for the LAS mission in Afghanistan. From what i have been reading it seems that the US is ready to purchase a fleet of 20 - 35 planes. And like ive said, Tac-air, currently has the only super tucano in the US for training purposes. Tac-air/tadf was way ahead of the curve on this one, TADF has been working on this craft since last summer, now its the featured plane in TAC-Air's portfolio. Its only a matter of time before their super tucano gets called upon for training, either domestically or internationally. GLTA

LOL, fried chix you want me to tap his line or something ;) thats pretty funny, i dont know man, i think that may be borderline illegal ;) I just want to spread my calls a bit, dont want him to feel like im pestering him, then he'll just end up ignoring my calls, he is a pretty busy dude, he's the IR contact for several companies. You guys could give him a quick call if you like, i was thinking of getting a buddy of mine to call, if not i will try to get in contact with him next week.
hey guys, here is another nice litte article on the likelyhood that the US will purchase a fleet of super tucanos to deploy in middle east battles. There has been a lot of pressure for this to happen lately, so it may happen sooner than later
http://www.sldforum.com/2011/05/all-else-is-rubbish/
Hey Vegas, no i havent had a chance to call him back. I'll see if i call him again next week, i dont want to make it seem like im pestering him. But i'll definitely let the board know when i speak to him again. If you go back to my original post (post # 7179), where i outline our conversation, youll see that a lot of the things i asked him he could not disclose because it would be considered insider info. But in the responses he gave me he was trying to tip toe the line, and by reading between the lines we can see that it was all extrememly positive. GLTA
hey Johnny, yea mornings are rough for me :)
I would say that about 80 - 90 % of my core holdings went off at the bid price. yea it happens sometimes, sometimes it doesnt go thru though
i'll feel a little better as soon as i get some breakfast in me :)
GLTA
Titan, doing great man, just looking for my spot today to add for my 9th consecutive day. Just hitting the ASK, give some support to the pps. THese are small to mid sized blocks im talking about, but still every little bit counts. Leaving some powder on the table for 50$ friday. Then I have to transfer some funds for next week.
gotta say the board totals are very impressive, 35+% of the float and almost 10% of O/S.
Ok guys, i have found my posts when i mentioned that TADF was seeing these unusually small blocks go thru, and the reaction to it real-time. Notice the date on my posts are Friday April 1st, the run start two trading days later on Tuesday april 5th. I have three posts below in order.

hey Rage, yeah same thing happened yesterday, a 500 share transaction hit the ask in the afternoon. We have all seen the mm code sheet, maybe there is something to it, or maybe not. What i do know is that, the few days before the initial run i posted a comment that there were several of these small block buys, and sure enough the next day she ran hard. Lets see what she does in the next few days
hey spade, i hope you get your facts straight. Feel free to go thru all my posts. I have never said that selling at the bid is a buy. What i have said a million times is that several on the board, including myself, have been able to purchase shares at the bid price. So in other words, if the bid/ask spread is .0033/.0034, you put an order at .0033, it stays sitting there for awhile, and the MM fills you at .0033. SO you purchased at the bid price. When you see it on the transaction log, its going to show it as a sell. Bid transactions show as sells, while ask transactions show up as buys. Simple as that, no need to make a big deal about it, and when you are going to call someone out, please make sure you have your facts straight. Good luck to you spade.
yea RED, there has been ALOT of buying at the bid, ive said it before but a good portion of my core shares all went off at the bid. And i know alot others on the board that have millions and millions of sharesthat were bought at the bid. Its ok, the supply is getting smaller and smaller, soon enough it will have to gove, and TADF will continue its ascent
hey guys, the US consideration of buying a fleet of super tucanos to deploy in the middle east may happen sooner rather than later. Here is a congressman writing to the Air force regarding the purchase of a fleet of super tucanos and the urgency of the matter. Notice how he states: a plane "that is built for the mission", which he is obviously referring to the super tucano website. If you want to see the letter in full, go to the super tucano website builtforthemission.com; here is an excerpt to the letter below.
http://www.sldinfo.com/?p=19361
hey bill, last year with more or less the same share structure it reached 5 cents a share, with considerably less potential based on what we know now and all the info this board has provided. Several of us have spoken to Gerald (TADF IR contact) based on his conservative estimates he placed a .025 to .05 price per share based on 1x's tac-air's current revenues. I asked him on specific revenue numbers for Tac-air, he said he couldnt disclose because they are private and obviously that is insider info. But he said that all he could tell me was that tac-air was a SIGNIFICANT company with SIGNIFICANT revenues, and that both parties wanted to get the merger done as soon as possible. As to a r/s, im not sure that is a route they would take, they havent done one in the history of the company, and ive been in since 2006. Gerald, also told several of us, that they would most likely initiate a share repurchase program, this sounds more likely given the fact that TADF has had a history of stock buybacks. The merger has taken a bit of time to get done, but the best evidence we have are the pr's with both parties getting quoted and with business being done together. Remember, the super tucano was acquired together. TADF put down the financing and tac-air is responsible for the craft, training, maintenance, etc. So, depending on the impact of the merger details and any pending contracts, with the current share structure it is not out of the question to see anywhere from 5 - 10 cents initially. But realize, this could take time, right now we need to focus on baby steps, we need to get out of this congested range and finnally make a push to break out of the cup and handle pattern. There are a lot of technical indicators that very bullish which i have mentioned many times on prior posts. So far she looks good man, shes holding strong, just waiting and accumulating for the third leg up.
GLTA
lovepennies, there are ALOT of big time TADF shareholders on this board. just think about it, there are only about 20 - 25 of us that regularly post here and have disclosed our share totals with Titan, yet, collectively, we own over 35% of the TADF float. that is an amazing number. thats why we have seen decreasing volume as of late, there is just a shortage of shares to go around. MM's have tried to manipulate and create selloffs, but it hasnt worked because everyone here has seen all the trickery day after day, no one is budging. Just keep adding as you see fit; i continue to add to my core position almost daily. GLTA
Hey jyates, this board owns 35% of the TADF float, and looking for more! these prices are a steal, just add wherever you see fit. like i said, ive been hitting the ASK with smalll to midsize blocks for 8 straight days now; amd ive hit the ASK on the last four 50$ fridays.
Hey guys, here is my updated summary of the spreadsheet i have been maintaining since the very beginning of the run. So far, buyers have outpaced selling volume by alot, also, keep in mind that this spreadsheet does not take into account all the millions upon millions of shares that were purchased at the BID, so in reality, the buy volume is much much heavier than what this indicates. Thats what people refer to when they say that their buys show up as sells. Looking good you guys, lets keep this momentum going. A lot of individuals have loaded up massively, just waiting for payday. GLTA

Hey guys, for those of you who may believe that there is an MM code; there was just a 500 share block transaction go thru thats $1.65. In this case the trade hit the ASK, which if you go by the theory, it would be a gap up. I havent seen this kind of low trade in a very long time. Actually i pointed it out a day before the initial run in April, that we were getting all these very low blocks go thru, then all of a sudden we get this massive run. Not saying its 100% accurate, but its something to think about. This has been posted several times, but here it is again.
hey Mid, i just tagged the Ask too, this is the 8th consecutive day that i tag the ASK with a small to midsized block.
Yet another nice article about the super tucano that came out 3 days ago:
heres another nice article about the Super tucano:
Good morning guys, great finds everyone, 30 people can research better than one, great stuff. Here is an article from a couple of days ago about indonesia purchasing the Super tucano, this plane is the stepping stone for TADF/Tac-air, possiblities are endless.
Nice find Vegas, the Super Tucano is the stepping stone to bigger and better things, this craft is used worldwide, and the US is seriously considering purchasing 20 super tucanos to deploy in the middle east. The US has tested this plane for two years, and TADF/Tac-air is now the only company in the US that has a super tucano for training purposes.
Just like Gerald told us last week; Tac-air is a SIGNIFICANT company wiht SIGNIFICANT revenues. Tac-air has a strong foothold and a strong history with DoD, Navy, and Air Force contracts. This gives TADF the ability to focus on the International sector, thats where the Super tucano comes into play. This craft gives them instant credibility to other nations. Not to mention that TADF, since last year, has been loading up on top notch international defense contract experts and added them as advisors and board members.
Good start to the week here, lets see if we can get some more follow thru in the next couple of days. Lets make it happen
GLTA
hey pac, yeah she is definitely gaining strength. She is slowly, but surely pulling away from the past two weeks of sideways action. Technically, TADF has a million bullish indicators going for it. You want to see this slow and steady grind, as she nears the resistance zone, let it play out and she will run hard once again. Last 3 - 4 days we have seen buyers outpace sellers by a nice margin. Very good to see. I will keep accumulating and adding to my core position as i have been for over a month now. GLTA
hey cool, yeah, i suspect its gonna start getting increasingly harder and harder to purchase at the bid, most will have to start slapping the ASK if they want in. Like i said, ive been slapping the ASK pretty good for a month now. And i know alot others have as well, as the last 3 - 4 days we show a lot more buys than sell volume.
hey dollar, we are currently in the process of forming the rest of the handle of the cup and handle pattern that dates dack to december. look at my previous charts, on friday tadf finally closed out of the 2 week descending channel. it spent 9 consecutives days goin sideways and closing unchanged, in the meantime it closed above .003 everysingle day and that support held. Ideally, you would like to see a slow gradual rise near the .0045 - 005 area. Next week, tadf is looking at the 50/200 day cross, a technically huge bullish event, that should give it some more momentum at an attempt for a third leg up. Steady as she goes, looks good.
hey carjon, yep, its just games, weve seen it all the past three weeks, alot of posts have been made referencing all the MM tactics. Just tag the ASK, ive been tagging the ASK almost everyday with small to midsized blocks for the past 7 days, especially at the close. Including the last 4 Fridays. Those huge fake orders that ETMM keeps putting up day after day are usually taken out after a few hits on it. We've seen it sooo many times, ETMM puts it up, it gets hit 3 or 4 times and they remove it. Its very deceitful, but apparently the MM's know all the loopholes. GLTA
hey pip, nice buy, the 50 day moving average is actually at .0025. , the 200 day is at .003; The big wall at .0035 you see is ETMM. Olandug, and others have posted several times about MM trickery. ETMM has done this several times in the last three weeks, where they show a huge order at the ASK, then the ASK gets tagged a few times and they remove the order. They do it everyday at different price points for three weeks now. If you notice ETMM, has been the only MM trying to hold TADF down, its just manipulative tactics that they are using, either to keep price at bay, or to entice selling. either way, TADF is looking great, finally got out of that descending channel last friday, it has been trading above the 50 day and 200 day for quite some time now, and TADF will most likely see an incredible technically bullish event next week; the 50/200 day moving average cross, some refer to it as "The Golden Cross".
GLTA
Hyborian, good to have you aboard man. Ive seen you over at the yahoo board, good stuff. You are right, she is looking good; on friday TADF broke out of a two week descending channel, we need a couple of slight up days to confirm the trend reversal, but she looks great so far. The 50/200 day moving average cross is getting closer and closer, expecting it next week; as you guys know that is one of the most bullish indicators of all, this will give it some extra momentum for the next few weeks.
This is a great group here hyborian, glad you are a part of it. GLTA
TADF: C&H breakout is imminent(charts included)
TADF is finishing up a very lucrative merger with a defense contractor, has pending government contracts lined up. On the verge of breaking out of cup and handle formation.
