especially well done to those brave enough to have bought on the spike down

ss - no, B Socs offering near 7%, fixed for 1 or 2 years if you want, they need your money!

SP in mid October 2006 was 95p or more (18/19th). The current bid price may look good to recent buyers but long term holders may not be so pleased. Divi is ex on 4th January. It may be worth waiting to see if the price is worked up.

[powwow] 21/12/2007 09:07

that bid didnt take long.

Alexx
Yes & 3% is all you get for leaving it in a building society for a year.

[taffee] 21/12/2007 09:01

if you are short JUST SELL INTO STRENGTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[hotfinance14] 21/12/2007 08:54

I wish NIS had not agreed to the bid.Nis is worth more than 95p a share.

[taffee] 21/12/2007 08:40

sue I think..pun intended

[0rient] 21/12/2007 08:38

taffe...any name on the trader who lost 5mill??

well done all holders...merry Christmas :-)

[alexx] 21/12/2007 08:35

Anybody care to guess a time scale
Sell at 92.25 or wait for 95

By the time commission is paid waiting gives 3% extra

[eithin] 21/12/2007 08:35

SS. ex div 2/1, Pay date 21/8...

[taffee] 21/12/2007 08:30

shorters probably see this as a selling opportunity...one trader lost £5 mill this morning allegedly..her only hope is that the bid fails

[tsmith2] 21/12/2007 08:30

thank u, now out

[sunseeking] 21/12/2007 08:29

Divi date 2/1/08 Will we still get one?

[ards] 21/12/2007 08:23

just sold my entire holding may go to bidding war but need the dosh. good luck to holders.

[sunseeking] 21/12/2007 08:23

Any idea of the timescale for the offer or views on the likelyhood of a better offer coming along

[ards] 21/12/2007 08:15

any point holding on at minute for better offer or should we sell up. I am delighted as will all longs. well done chaps.

[taffee] 21/12/2007 07:31

I know for a fact some people are short average 50-55p!...like I say totally delusional

[thistimenextyear] 21/12/2007 07:23

Shorters deserve this and a lot more! Hope some get wiped out - good riddance to them and I hope it also makes a dent in some of the hedge funds that have been relentlessly shorting 250/350 stocks such as NIS as well! They wont have a chance of closing as open price will be 95p! Can smell the burning beginning already - the fires are being lighted. I think over the next 3 months there will be a lot more of such events to be honest - look at ISYS, LOG, AHT to name a few.

[taffee] 21/12/2007 07:15

shorters gonna get completely shafted this morning!....happening quite a bit in the market wonder if other companies will see a short squeeze on the back of this.

nsb and nis sold over last week at 50-60% premiums...short sellers seem completely delusional...even after statement re possible offer they were still
shorting it..even brokers became pessimistic AFTER the statement.

Perhaps this signifies the start of some sort o turn in the market generally.

[zed2002] 21/12/2007 07:06

Good Morning All...check out the latest RNS...95p per share offered. woohoo

[grlz] 20/12/2007 20:58

any positive but speculative news on the bid will see imho an easy 20% jump - if NIS releases a formal RNS with an attached board agreement, buckle up as the rise will give u a nose bleed, as for anyone short it will be like coughing up a kidney...

I am finding it hard to resist trading this daily 5% range with anything less than peanuts, only because I know if I commit more NIS will release an f-ing RNS declaring a done deal and I will be on the wrong side of the fence kicking myself - so i'm staying 95% invested until I know either way

[targatarga] 20/12/2007 20:55

slaterlp - yes please.....

[slaterlp] 20/12/2007 18:34

roll up roll up, get yer cheap Nis now while stocks last. Dont miss a right bargain guv,

I have a hunch that that this is going to jump suddenly..
