Still trending up at this time Mr B - even if slowly.

How long can TLS continue to rise in a falling market ?
It's got a grossed up yield of almost 10%. And they've been talking up the prospect of rising dividends in the years ahead. Over $5 wouldn't surprise me.
Google Fiber is live in Kansas City, real-world speeds at 700 Mbps
After months of fanfare and anticipation, gigabit home Internet service Google Fiber finally went live on Tuesday in Kansas City. The search giant is offering 1 Gbps speeds for just $70 per month””significantly faster and cheaper than what any traditional American ISPs are offering.
"We just got it today and I’ve been stuck in front of my laptop for the last few hours," Mike Demarais, founder of Threedee, told Ars. "It’s unbelievable. I’m probably not going to leave the house."
He lives in a four-bedroom house run by "Homes For Hackers" on Kansas City’s Hanover Heights neighborhood, just on the state border with Missouri. The house has become one of the hubs for the KC Startup Village, an informal group of entrepreneurs who have clustered around homes immediately eligible for Google Fiber.
Meanwhile, Demarais said that on an Ethernet connection, he’s seen consistent Google Fiber speeds of 600 to 700 Mbps, with Wi-Fi topping out around 200 Mbps. Even at the slower wireless speeds, that’s more than an order of magnitude faster than what most Americans have at home.
Might have to get some more.
I see Google have launched their offering already, if that comes to AU it would bugger the NBN surely...

There is a better chance of you and me sitting down to some Kansas City style BBQ in Kansas City (I know a fantastic place there) than there is of Google rolling out cable in Australia. We've had one copper network and we will have one fibre network.
Hope you're right......thanks for your input, it's a bit quiet in here.
Google aren't dumb enough to try and compete in a geographically large, population small country against what will be an entrenched government monopoly.
Don't worry.
Gee Burnsie I'd hardly call it slash the wrist territory.
Yeah I'm not exactly an expert at his, just so used to seeing only rises lately
Well just a quick look at the chart and you can see pullbacks in the range of 25 - 30 cents have been common yet its still managed to move pretty much straight up in a nice trend. I'd start worrying if it makes a lower High then a lower low.
TLS is going down on high volumes, any ideas why ?
Is it because of the interim dividend about to be paid ?
TLS has run full steam ahead since a disappointing Aug 12 report.
If I have to bet I'd say tomorrow's report will be disappointing as well.
But I don't expect the pull back to be substantial. 5-8% over 2-3 months probably all there is to it.
Hope you're right......thanks for your input, it's a bit quiet in here.
Watch the earnings, a dividend payout ratio above 100% can not be sustained forever. Talk of expansion into Asia is also a little scary they do not have a good record of allocating capital for growth. Maybe present management is better?
