CFO Stephanie latest long position is seriously out of the money. An old but very wealthy trader once told me that every position should have a stop loss, max 5%. If you get stopped out take it on the chin, and move on. He had self discipline, he only traded strongly rising markets. ABDN is a loser, nothing to see here.

What's happening this morning?
Both abrdn and L&G dfown quite an amount.

Me too, and i personally don't think they will either.

According to the Sunday Times Richard Wilson CEO of II is taking a break from negotiations. It seems II have some very big hurdles and very strict contingencies if they are ever gonna be taken over.

ABRDN bounce didn’t last long

[cwa1] 09/11/2021 15:17

Not sure if that makes any sense but good luck with it anyway!

I'm sure they'll liaise with Monty before they sign the deal.

Couple of reasons, ii were going to ipo 2022 and of course clients get priority I would have thought. Also I think fees would go up to pay for takeover.

[cwa1] 09/11/2021 12:50

Any particular reason you folk want to leave if ABDN buy ii?

[gateside] 09/11/2021 12:25

I'll move to AJ Bell if the deal goes ahead.Hopefully ii will not be taken over though.

[montyhedge] 09/11/2021 11:46

I hope not I will leave ii if the deal goes ahead.

CFRO.
The Sky story which broke the news said that they were in exclusivity. JC Flowers would not have granted exclusivity if they were not happy with the price.
I suspect the deal is well advanced.

[cfro] 08/11/2021 13:22

I tend to agree montyhedge.
Im hoping this deal does NOT go through, and personally speaking i feel the bid price of £1.5bn will not be enough to tempt JC Flowers to exit their investment but we shall see.

[mcunliffe1] 08/11/2021 12:27

The technology perhaps.

[montyhedge] 08/11/2021 12:03

All II customers, me being one should leave if we don't get a payout has well. Then what would they be buying.

[montyhedge] 08/11/2021 12:01

I'm gutted that they are bidding for II they were going to float.I will move my account from II if they try to put up charges.

[boozey] 08/11/2021 10:40

I use II and like their platform. If Abrdn take over the main improvement I would like to see is interest on cash not invested. Sometimes this can be quite substantial. II must be making money on accumulated cash from their vast pool of investors. I would like to see a proportion of that interest shared with their loyal members.

[cwa1] 08/11/2021 10:31

Typical Abrdn though, gone for the wrong vowels!

[bigbigdave] 08/11/2021 09:43

[suetballs] 08/11/2021 09:39
