The best deal depends on your CGT position in the UK. The proportion of cash and shares can be altered to give the optimum personal position.

Cash +shares by far the best deal @ the moment

[whoppy] 05/1/2016 23:49

What share price are they using for ShellB shares in the calculations in the offer?

[whoppy] 05/1/2016 23:42

What is the best deal?. 3.83 cash + shellB shares, All cash, or All ShellB shares?

[nw99] 05/1/2016 13:06

Bought both and BP this oil glut want last forever

[montyhedge] 05/1/2016 12:49

I would want all Shell shares with that 8% divividend paid every 13 weeks.

[bobe6] 05/1/2016 12:04

What about the other option of taking all Shell B shares and no cash. For example how many Shell B shares would I get if I held 1000 BG shares?

[montyhedge] 04/1/2016 08:55

If deal off Shell will go higher, but if deal goes through the Shell dividend is safe. Cost savings of £3 billion between the two companies.

50% of Shell shareholders must approve, going to be close.With a glut of oil, this deal makes no sense to me.

Kyle Bass, the hedge fund manager who made half a billion dollars betting against subprime-mortgage securities in 2007, says the time is ripe to invest in energy companies as the global oil surplus reverses.

do you have a link to the Shell shareholders information/documentation?

[mavis5] 03/1/2016 11:51

50% of Shell shareholders must approve (as well as 75% BG shareholders)

[zyzzyva] 03/1/2016 11:39

does it have to be approved by Shell shareholders as well?

[karateboy] 03/1/2016 11:08

Bid will not be called off by the company. It is all in the hand of share holders now.

[nw99] 02/1/2016 13:46

Formality to go through

[careful] 02/1/2016 13:35

After 12 months of negotiating and jumping hurdles.
Gas price finally improving with more to come.
Huge synergy savings.
to cap it off Shell will have talked to major shareholders before starting on this merger, many of them BG. shareholders as well.

it is in the bag, no one in his right mind should think that it will fail.
voting it through should be a formality.

[zyzzyva] 02/1/2016 13:02

surely you are not saying BG will rise and Shell fall is the bid is called off?

[montyhedge] 02/1/2016 12:48

I said best trade, buy BG and short Shell.Personally I think the bid will be called off.

[nw99] 02/1/2016 09:05

2016 Times share tip buy BG as a cheap way into Shell and it will maintain the Dividend

[84stewart] 30/12/2015 15:27

I say USA wise because UK numpty MMs/analysts are AAA+ numptys in getting price /figuers right & wrong .IMHO

[84stewart] 30/12/2015 15:23

someone/Co just spent £55mln+ on BG do thy know something we don't, USA wise

[montyhedge] 30/12/2015 08:05

Buy BG, short Shell no brainer.

[karateboy] 29/12/2015 17:39

Closed at the highest of the day. With current RDSB share price , BG has further to go to close the gap between the current price and the offer price. I think anther 8%.

[nw99] 29/12/2015 13:03

Up and away
