Surfer,good post and that arrogant prat Mannion is typical of the delightfully out of touch leaders of the sinking ship called Ear Fungus. O'Leary would sort out the debris in AL toute suite.........

Romatic Ireland is dead and gone,its with O'Leary in the Grave.

why would the pilots buy at 3.05? an extra couple of % in the hands of employees is barely relvant and if they succeed in thwarting the bid the share price will drop. who gives this type of advice.

[fisons5] 11/10/2006 11:36

O'leary will have to offer between 3.50 and 4 euro to capture this one.
2.80 is the opening gambit,sit tight and prepare for turbulence.
Dont forget your lifejacket,and whistle!

I took Mrs Liarspoker out for a meal last night.

Two guys at the table next to us were discussing Aer Lingus & Ryan Air. I think one of them was a reporter. Both were hoping to write the meal of as an expense anyway.

Factsonly . From what I gather Aer Lingus will lose their U.S. slots if taken over. Not 100% on this but heard it somewhere.

IMHO, I think it's still possible for AERL to be taken over, but only if it's by a different airline.

A.L. Pilots have bought 8.5m shares through Goodbodys at prices of up to 3.02 in their attempt to block Ryanair. Micko will not be able to take A.L. but no one else will either .

agree cashed in today at 297, don't see Ryanair getting over regulatory and political hurdles, and very surprised no mention of white knight/3rd party interest in the weekend press, think Willie Walsh at BA has enough on his plate to be interested right now.

Feel O'Leary got involved because it was far too cheap at 2.20 and this provided him with perfect opportunity to embarrass and poke some fun at the Government.

If share price kicks back down will probably get involved again, we''ll see

I didn't buy in in the first place cat - thought my money would be better of in Sola. ;O)

[bucho] 09/10/2006 12:13

I can't see any second improved offer being above EUR 3.00, so I have sold in the market for just under that price. I'm happy with a super 33% return for a one-week investment, but will watch and may buy back if I see potentional for future gains.

Good luck to all.

Thanks wish you lot all the best

I bought this stock as a long term investment, but couldn't resist taking a quick profit. I bet I own these again soon.

[liarspoker] 09/10/2006 08:31

Well done cat - it's always nice to see someone making a bit of cash. :O)

[hermana] 09/10/2006 08:30

cat,if the numbskulls on the Aer board disallow the takeover,the aer share price will head duly South!

[cat100] 09/10/2006 08:28

Sold. I'm out I think it may rise but I've banked my profits . Thanks Micko

[j2m] 06/10/2006 13:05

abcd1234 - thanks! Got the answer - Irish stamp duty of 1%.

[cat100] 06/10/2006 10:52

[abcd1234] 06/10/2006 10:24

j2m

[abcd1234] 06/10/2006 10:23

cat
u got any hyperlinks to any busy threads on this elsewhere??

t.i.a.

[j2m] 06/10/2006 09:41

I would like to buy some Aer Lingus shares but am not sure if I would be paying UK or Irish Stamp duty? I have a UK share dealing account. Please can anyone enlighten me?

[mpto] 06/10/2006 09:25

So looking at what AL has said : its fairly valued at 2.22 - but 'significantly undervalued' at 2.80 !
Statement goes on to say 'take no action' ergo - I have just sold ! There is only one buyer in the market and risk/reward ratio is currently good. Great return for the week. Enjoy the turbulence.

[cat100] 06/10/2006 09:22

Free float is 57% which could be problematic for Micko. He may have to offer a lot more for this

[cat100] 06/10/2006 09:20

Sorry 19.2% radio here said 25% which is wrong
