Locked away, but never forgotten!
In TGLO since 2005. Bought 30k more this week. 436k now.
I don't see them diluting their own shares materially if at all. This topic has been exhausted.
Agree, $554k is real money.
Pleased to see in the 10Q $554k commitment to the shell continues.
Still in for the long haul here. 413k shares.
Moving on air, now. How high is Egan ceiling?!
The Egan floor is in.
Added TGLO shares this week. 417k now.
I see a new TGLO YTD closing high coming...
TGLO off to a heck-of-good-day ...
A reverse split doesn't change the % ownership held by you or anyone else.
Of course they'll maintain share control in the near term. I wasn't clear and was looking toward the future as a mature company.
Below are my line-item comments on your post:
Reverse split at 1:30+ (yup, possible, helps in getting uplisted)
Reverse merge into TGLO with 99%+ ownership of the common (no, they only own 70.9%, so that's their toy chest)
Do a secondary offering at $1/share+ this will dilute current shareholders to .5% or less and Delfin to 50.1% or less)
Uplist to Nasdaq. (no, 'cause this would be lower than your own reverse split adjusted price and would drag down price needed to uplist)
I'll concur with some of that, but I don't see the degree of dilution material in the long-term. I have also made a case for no dilution earlier this year.
It reminds me of people who criticized and claimed the Japanese were selling below costs years ago. They amortize costs differently than Americans, using 100-year schedules in some cases. So in their view they were not selling below costs.
Hence, I'm fine if I'm flat or moderately higher on TGLO in the near term because I think I know where it can go in the long-term.
However, in the near term, I still see things higher from here, no not $20 per share, but higher than the highs we've seen.
Also, I'm fine with a reverse split, it will only tighten the float. It doesn't change the investment, and you know that.
While 51% of the shares gives them full control, you also know they can probably still control the company with fewer shares as most people don't vote, and they can vote their shares.
Just my opinion, do what's right for you.
Just a reminder that Delfin is an existing TGLO shareholder. Whatever they do to non-Delfin shareholders, i.e., Egan, they do to themselves.
Yes, but if not, will be soon I think, we'll see.
I think TGLO afterhours could be interesting...
Just rounded holdings up to 416,000 shrs.
However, Delfin's advanced $150k to TGLO since then. See the SEC filings since 12.31.17.
Delfin advancing additional $100k to TGLO suggests forward momentum to me. I like it.
Nevertheless, make your own decisions, and do what's good for you.
Wouldn't surprise me to see a .43 TGLO print next week.

Bottom line, Egan was comfortable with 22M share investment in TGLO, and that works for me.
There isn't even something to go short in TGLO here? Way better large cap plays make better targets. No short would touch this stock. Been there done that. – Bottom line, Egan was comfortable with TGLO.
Bottom line: Michael Egan owns the same share class we all do, and he thought that was good. It's simple, he did the due-diligence, and said, I want that.
Nevertheless, make your own investment decision. What works for me, may not be good for you.
Maybe Delfin has convertible debt deal with Egan? He's already a believer with 22M TGLO shares.
Yup, these guys have been there a long time, small fish...
Again, there is plausibility to your position.
But, as I've said before, I believe the deal will come down somewhere between your worst case scenario, and that of where Mike Egan see's the deal, and stayed in the game, with over 22M shares.
You know that's the way this is going down.
Thanks for the clarification, regarding the cash and the 5%.
However, I don't see any Delfin investors suing anyone, since they acquired TGLO, and will put whatever assets into it they feel like, you don't sue yourself.
I believe the market will put a multiple on those assets that is greater than the book value arguments you use.
Your arguments are plausible, but we have all seen things trade at substantial premiums, and markets can stay irrational for long periods of time.
The fact that the Current S&P 500 PE Ratio: is 24.51 is itself ludicrous. But, it's reality, at least today.
I'd sooner start a new business any day of the week, in any sector of the S&P, than pay that premium, but people do every day of the week.
Yet, how many businesses on main street can sell theirs at retirement for those irrational premiums found in the stock market?
Or, if you're correct with your $43M finding, and if no cash was exchanged, but 5% stock of something was. Did they inadvertently create a market cap of $860M?
Added 3460 today. Bullish with 369,460.
Pretty big MM ask gap .1679 > .25
Good stuff S2focus, thank you!
Jeff, I hold 366k TGLO shares.
We all want news soon on TGLO, and are hopeful for a quick merger. But, honestly, this stuff takes time. I'll guarantee you there is not a bull here who hasn't got a degree of impatience on this.
If this is truly a pain point for you, which I believe it is, you should exit as soon as you see your entry point, and get cash neutral.
You will have other opportunities in life.
Like Ross Perot said, guard your cash like water in the desert!
Take care of yourself and your family.
You might take a second look at this when the data is something you feel more comfortable with.
Good luck to you!
I agree, and I imagine Egan did, too.
I've had shares in TGLO since fall of 2005, and have followed its movements closely since.
If the accumulations I've referenced are not coincidence, then Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and Regulation 13D thereunder require beneficial owners of more than 5% of a class of equity securities of a publicly traded company to file a report with the SEC. For purposes of calculating the percentage of shares held, a fund manager will generally be deemed the beneficial owner of the shares held by its clients, as well as of any shares held in its proprietary account.
See: https://www.investmentfundlawblog.com/resources/investments-by-funds/acquiring-5-publicly-traded-company/
So, it wouldn't seem like it is Delfin Et al. But, it does seem it's a party or parties close to the pulse of what is going on who are able to fly under the 5% SEC regs, assuming there is a correlation.
There were also approx. 35M shares traded in TGLO from Jan 15, 2015 through Feb 27, 2015. prior and near the announcement on the 27th Feb:

Lithuania looks to U.S. for gas imports
Lithuanian liquefied natural gas (LNG) importer Litgas has signed a preliminary agreement with a U.S. supplier, looking to lessen the
Baltic nation's dependence on Russia.
Litgas said on Friday it had signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Delfin LNG, a developer of the United States' first
offshore gas liquefaction project.
Delfin LNG LLC is developing an offshore liquefaction and export facility in Louisiana with a total export capacity of 13 million tonnes of
LNG per year (about 18 billion cubic metres of natural gas).
Subject to regulatory approval, the project will be constructed in phases, and is expected to start in 2019.
The MOU is not binding in terms of selling or buying LNG, Litgas said.
Lithuania's import terminal next to the Klaipeda port has a total import capacity of 4 bcm of natural gas (2.9 million tonnes of LNG)
compared with annual consumption in the Baltic states of 4

S2focus has noted previously that the 10-k contains the following language and a missing X in the Yes or No area (which I find mysterious): "Indicate by check mark if disclosure of delinquent filers pursuant to Item 405 of Regulation S-K (Sec.229.405 of this chapter) is not contained herein, and will not be contained, to the best of registrant’s knowledge, in definitive proxy or information statements incorporated by reference in Part III of this Form 10-K or any amendment to this Form 10-K."
In summary, the Feb 27 event, and my aforementioned posts regarding TGLO trades, account for around 78M shares traded (around or near past Delfin events). I think it's a stretch to suggest they all have been accumulated by affiliates disclaiming beneficial ownership. However, I think a material amount of them may have been. While perhaps boiler plate language regarding "Common Stock held by non-affiliates of the registrant" (on June 30, 2017), this is nevertheless included in their Form 10-k: *Includes voting stock held by third parties, which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by affiliates, but for which such affiliates have disclaimed beneficial ownership.
Another 17.5M traded in TGLO before A Notice by the Maritime Administration on 12/24/2015 regarding Delfin. Coincidennce?
