Good old tree shake for nervous holders

Looking good for a very sharp return to H1 profitability.

It won't be long before we see the previous CAU levels of pre-tax returns, pre-recession revenues, and its historic high media P/Es. When we see all of these we will see a return of a 150p+ share price. My guess is that this will happen by mid 2012.

A 100%+ return possibility in 18 months is a real tempter & I've been buying in heavily for 3 months.

50p target

So .................. CAU is now very much "in play" & the chances of it remaining as a quoted company on the main board are about zero.

Ain't I glad that I went in for 8,500 last week & yesterday. It's nice to get the timing right for a change.

What's the final "take out" price going to be? Who will be the new owner of CAU?

My first stab is that this approach will force out a counter bid from one of the big b-2-b media players (Informa, Utd Business Media, etc) & I can see an MBO also being attempted (given the already pretty chunky director holdings) as the cash flow will sustain it. So at least 3 players competing ............ to me that indicates a final price of at least mid to high 60s.

This is going to be interesting.
