Priapus - would that he had BOUGHT NR at all. He stole it.

Its interesting that the French and German investors never have the same scepticism of government influence on utilities as British Investors.

"You dont know what youve got until its gone".

"The process comes amid the continuing auction of British Energy, which is
descending into a four-way battle between EDF, RWE, Suez and E.on."

Re: "trust not #10".....remember when Brown sold our gold? ...At the bottom of the market.... hence "Brown's bottom"......lol

He's bought a bankrupt BS for £50bn. Highlighting a probable further collpase of the banking system as we know it.

So assuming he is using the same logic then BGY's takeover will mark the beginning of a massive rally in nuclear and alternative energy.

s69 - sadly not - I fear the risks of regulation and trust not #10.

[gale dribble] 27/4/2008 17:15

Yes, I can imagine the conversation now.


"Wheres the car dear?"

"Someone bumped into it whilst parking at the supermarket. Could you fetch it for me"

"Yes, certainly. Where abouts in the carpark is it?"

"Just look for the 40 foot crater, Next to the trolley attendant with 7 arms"

You still holding here Scribb. You must be making a packet if u are?

Nuclear powered cars are prefectly feasible - and could be supplied with a lifetime's fuel requirement, as nuclear submarines are.

But I suspect the green lobby would raise petty objections.

[rob the slob] 26/4/2008 23:55

totally dude...
Pity they don't make nuclear reactors for cars yet. Cost me £75 to fill her up at Tesco today!

Its as good a time as any to be selling the company.

[elmfield] 26/4/2008 22:06

very nice but I think we should get an even higher price, with the price of fossil fuels bgy power is becoming more and more attractive, we have no choice.

[rob the slob] 26/4/2008 14:59

yup! That was my thought too when I saw the late rise before close on Fri. Daily Mail today cites city rumours of 880p per share all cash bid from EDF to be made on Monday. Bring it on...

[sat69] 25/4/2008 18:40

A counter bid is the most likely reason.

[elmfield] 25/4/2008 17:44

that was some surge, wonder where on monday morning,
well needed spot of real blue!

[inki] 25/4/2008 16:37

Somebody saw something in the week-end press ! before Friday evening end of day close !

[richardbroughton] 24/4/2008 09:51

Keep reading a figure of £11Bn as worth of this co. Current mkt cap is £7.7Bn, is the Govt stake of 35% included in this figure? I don't think it can be or the share price would be much higher.

[praipus] 18/4/2008 09:46

I wonder if it might be even more if the government packages the deal with some planning permissions for new reactors, clean up and carbon offsets.

[hightech] 17/4/2008 08:15

£12 to settle, imo

E.ON says report it is not interested in British Energy is incorrect




LONDON (Thomson Financial) - E.ON AG. said the report in Financial Times
Deutschland newspaper on Wednesday citing a spokesman for E.ON saying that the
German utility is not interested in submitting a bid for British Energy Group
PLC. is incorrect.
E.ON said in a statement Wednesday afternoon that the reported statement was
not approved by the board of E.ON and it accordingly retracts the statement.
Germany's two largest utilities, E.ON and RWE AG., are both interested in
participating in government plans to renew and expand the United Kingdom's
nuclear energy capacities.
The Sunday Times over the weekend reported the UK government may try to ease
competition concerns regarding the British Energy sale by auctioning off a rival
set of state-owned nuclear sites by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.

sunday times reporting 650p offer. hope there is a mighty bidding war, that would be sore if it goes ahead.

[elmfield] 13/4/2008 12:50

Market goes into melt down, good place to be here with the weak pound and strong Euro, govt desperate to raise cash, has to be a no brianer for take over?
