Of course L&G increasing its stake doesn't necessarily mean that a take-over is coming. Could just be that L&G sees BRT as a good investment.

Yep I logged on to ask whether anyone thought the increase in L&G's holding could be an indication of a take-over. I closed a June spreadbet last week at 491p. Luckily this lunchtime I checked and saw the RNS and bought back in at 478p. I think the drop at the end of last week was probably due to that other investment fund selling down its stake below 3%.

Legals buy another 6m shares and now have 14m and 8% stake.

Two trades in the ordinary way of 4.5million shares each at 4.98 gone thru this morning. Who knows what?

BRT have been touted as a a suitor for Old Mutual (looking for a UK presence).

Would have thought FP. were more up L& G's street

[hillbrown] 18/1/2005 16:09

or if not Legals someone else.

Hitting new highs.

Legals have declared a stake of 8m shares today (4.1%).

New stake or top up?

as said in post 191

I'm still here, and in from 165p - not much to say really - except the general movement is still upwards !!

[greenpastures] 04/1/2005 18:15

Just watching it rise. Nothing really to say.

[hillbrown] 04/1/2005 14:18

UP 5% TODAY!

oK,nobody interested, go back to sleep.............zzzzzzzzzz

[actybod] 15/12/2004 19:31

Ah - they bought Allianz Cornhill who have 1/2 million policies....Interesting that BRT are serious with their strategy of buying closed life funds bearing in mind they look ripe for a bid themselves...may be from Old Mutual/Resolution Life or that entrepeneur who bought Pearl.....

luuuurvly intraday chart

who's buyin'?

there must be a rumour out there...

[actybod] 15/12/2004 13:27

Any specific reason for the 10% increase today ?

[hillbrown] 15/12/2004 12:22

i'M IN THESE FOR THE LONG HAUL FROM 278P.

Cant see any reason to sell these whatsoever. When these hit £6+ next year then maybe it should be considered. They remain my biggest holding and I will continue to add once they go thru 430p. The charts and momentum are with us.

[quickmind] 15/12/2004 12:07

Motoring away nicely. It looks my prediction (450p, see post #190)is going to come true. I'm holding tight.

[hillbrown] 05/12/2004 23:22

quickmind,

No I didnt get in again at 370. Being pragmatic and still thinking this has way to go I bought back in again at 402 and again at 408.75.

We dont want a bid yet.

[actybod] 05/12/2004 23:12

Well done - thats a decent profit!

Is a bid for BRT likely ?

[red square] 01/12/2004 16:01

[actybod] 01/12/2004 15:54

Is anybody there ?
