This company could be sold for £10 a share a year or two back, the shareholders have been shafted bigtime

Spanish paper makes good @rsewipe though I have on good authority

in my opinion no uk bank would be interested just because of the facts, the mortgage cycle is at it's peak. hoping for the best anyway.

Lambo, what's was ur buy price on those 9 trades you posted up here last friday?

u still in holding for a competitor bid??

[mclellan] 26/7/2004 07:54

Surely the shareholders won't be very pleased with an offer of 560 or so if much larger offers have been refused before?

Broadwood; your comments are usually well worth hearing. Is it worth going long below £6 ? Surely someone else is going to want the Abbey ?

[alan6012] 26/7/2004 07:48

There has been no big sales yet - seems to be all small holders

If other financial players perceive that this deal undervalues Abbey, it makes no difference that the bid has been recommended by the Abbey Board.

Its far from a done deal at this stage.

So have all the stop losses been triggered?

[alexiskb1] 26/7/2004 07:32

1,000,000 on 556
surely thats got to be smart money?

[a77] 26/7/2004 07:31

Its a cop out by the board - they can't wait to get their hands on the share options!!!

LONDON (AFX) - Abbey National PLC confirmed it has reached a deal on a
recommended offer in a mix of cash and shares from Banco Santander Central
Hispano SA.
A brief statement from the UK bank added only that a full announcement of
the terms of the offer will be made later today.

out at 5.625 for small profit,oh well

[lamborghini_2] 26/7/2004 07:26

citibank, said they do not intend to go in a bidding war. HBOS/HSBC are also potential bidders. we shall see.

[ravisingla] 26/7/2004 07:26

possibley...

[taffychaff] 26/7/2004 07:24

if it is 553 then you can guarantee a counter-bid imo

[ravisingla] 26/7/2004 07:24

so time to get out then maybe....? if santander and abbey have closed the deal then citigroup and co have been outed, so there isnt going to be any more bidding???

[kaibutsu] 26/7/2004 07:18

pretty likely to stick around this mark (early 560s) until any competitive news comes out
