Well, i did last week! lol

[focus1800] 02/3/2007 11:24

Weighing the risk element of SBRY not getting a bid and the share price responding negatively if that occurred along with the drop in ADN`s price, i have sold SBRY with a small profit after costs and rebought into ADN at £1.925 with a gain of 1502 shares.I feel more comfortable in here. lol

[hectorp] 01/3/2007 13:47

Whats happening ? Oh- US markets weak again :-( well I added anyhow. It will all settle next week - I hope.

[its the oxman] 01/3/2007 09:13

just bought in on the drop for c.192p - hoping for a quick 10% at least - been in a good rising trend

[hectorp] 01/3/2007 08:25

I sold during the crash morning at 201p, so I am buying half back now around 191.75.
The rest will have to wait to see if the market falls again. I hope not but who can tell.

hoping it will turn soon!

[focus1800] 27/2/2007 13:59

I sold out 100% this morning for £2.04 to buy Sainsbury at £5.20 on hopes of a £6.00 offer or better.

[scotsman2] 27/2/2007 13:54

[hectorp] 27/2/2007 13:36

Good luck with the paired trade Bruce.

[bruce meinhoff] 22/2/2007 10:30

Looking for 225p personally but just a hunch nothing more

[focus1800] 22/2/2007 10:26

Its off to a cracking start again today. Anyone have any information on a target price short term?

[bruce meinhoff] 22/2/2007 10:18

Hectorp - I sold at 213p last week - closed my short on HGI at 145p.

Re-opened long on ADN yesterday at 209p - re-shorted HGI at 150p.

[hectorp] 22/2/2007 09:22

5 days later...
I suggest the market has absorbed any sellers from the last rise.. may be time to consider further addings.

If rogerthelodger2 is still bothering you do the following;
go to free notice boards;
insert ADVFN into search;
Insert ADVFN into created by;
You can then filter him from that BB.
lets all turn him into a goldfish, so that he opens his mouth & nothing comes out.

I suspect that being again linked as an aquisitor, would-be buyers of ADN will want to wait until they can see if the F&C takeover story in fact comes to anything.
- No harm in all this sort of speculation.

[focus1800] 16/2/2007 22:50

Rumours are that ADN is hunting as well as being hunted!

[piedro] 16/2/2007 15:49

If so , that's good news IMHO and we may get another 3:2 Rights Issue.

Here is the FT comment.....

"Aberdeen shares hit five-year high over reports of acquisition moves
By Neil Hume and Robert Orr

Published: February 16 2007 02:00 | Last updated: February 16 2007 02:00

Aberdeen Asset Management finished at a five-year high yesterday on rumours that the fund manager is on the look-out for another acquisition.

Its shares gained 3.6 per cent to 208¾p in heavy volume on talk that it could bid for troubled rival F&C Asset Management, up 2.9 per cent to 167¾p, or the institutional arm of Schroders, off 0.5 per cent to £11.51.

Aberdeen has won plaudits for its successful integration of Deutsche Asset Management's UK business, which it acquired in 2005. As such, sector watchers believe shareholders would back another a deal.

F&C is seen as a good fit for Aberdeen. Not only would its property and fixed income businesses be complementary but F&C's UK and European operations would help reduce Aberdeen's exposure to emerging markets and the Far East."



........The acquiring company's share price invariably falls when there is rumour of a large acquisition. It seems in this case, however, investors are comfortable with Martin Gilbert's dealmaking expertise and there is a good appetite for a repeat exercise.

[hectorp] 16/2/2007 14:39

Its also a key story on the back page of todays FT. The daily share summary discussion leads with ADN.. may bid for F&C Managment.
' having digested Deutsche, shareholders may welcome such a move'

- words are to that effect, not verbatim, as I read it over a coffee in the supermarket.

*Aberdeen Asset Management (LSE: ADN.L - news) shares hit five-year high over reports of acquisition moves.
