BG Group Share Discussion Threads

If you do the maths then buying BG. @ say 930 and holding to completion of deal is equivalent to buying RDSB @ 1228 xd, versus current market price of 1469, i.e. a discount of above 16%. it then comes down to whether you are confident the deal will go ahead and that the terms are not renegotiated (which requires inter alia that both sets of shareholders approve the deal next month). If the deal is aborted then the BG. share price will lose its support and likely fall substantially. You pays your money....

Is it better to buy BG or shell any advice welcome ta

I've just transferred my entire RDSB holding into BG. At these levels, and the fact that I'm in for the long term it seems crazy not to. Fingers crossed that the original bid conditions are not renegotiated though.

RNS says Shell and BG shareholder meetings expected to be 27 and 28 January respectively.

Dates for your diary maybes.

[nw99] 21/12/2015 07:48

Should jump on the open with today news

[nw99] 18/12/2015 21:38

Unless the deal terms change !

I'm not sure what the reweighting issue is. There's no index change that I'm aware of.

[miti 1000] 18/12/2015 17:38

Its a reweighting issue with BG(big auction volume)....should bounce back heavily on Monday. I longed in the auction.

Strange share price action today with Shell up and BG off 4% as I type.

[badtime] 17/12/2015 11:48

I've gone long BG

[spob] 17/12/2015 11:45

I've taken a Long BG / Short RDSB position in proportion to the deal ratio

955p Long BG @ Xppp
1477p Short RDSB @ (X*0.4454)ppp

Not sure what's just happened, but there's a nice little jump in the share price.

[eaaxs06] 24/11/2015 14:16

Come on BG, in your own time.

[gateside] 19/11/2015 00:11

Aussies cleared the BG Merger!

[84stewart] 17/11/2015 17:01

Aussies supposed to be next week

[gateside] 17/11/2015 16:14

The EU and Brazil have both given the deal the 'go ahead'. Just waiting on Australia and China.Anyone know when we will hear from either of them?

[84stewart] 17/11/2015 15:59

might have something to do with large sells

[eaaxs06] 17/11/2015 15:15

Shame it's come off those earlier levels.

It was outperforming Shell this morning, but now (relatively) slipping back.

[84stewart] 16/11/2015 08:04

Brazil I believe was the second to say yes

[gotnorolex] 15/11/2015 22:01

Qatar is done selling, so I expect change of direction!
Oz to decide next week, followed by China and Brazil.
Hope we get the average consensus of 1200 eaaxs06.
