It`s death, taxes and a nurse!

That's really irrelevant, it's what was bought at 5.5 to 9p and that's where the money is at. One may expect that this be taken out at a much higher price but the only certainty in life is Death and taxes.Its a gamble on whether it will go to 42, 50 or 80p, some may wish to play that but bottom line is 33p and its very very unlikely visa will not counter bid, after all, they have been watching this for some time, the most amazing thing is, they didn't take a sizable stake in the 9p region. Shows how smart these so called high flyers really are.

You seem so certain that the company will be taken over at a significant premium to the current price, so how many have you bought in the last month?

[miti 1000] 31/1/2019 11:06

err, wtf.....why would anyone sell at 30p when the bid is 33p ?

Mastercard have got 11% and won't get anymore at that price with it trading at 37p .

This is just a waiting game till Visa decide how much they want to raise their bid.

[cryptotrade] 31/1/2019 11:03

Visa could be seeing what shares they can buy at 30p before they decide next move. Mastercard doing the same.The main shareholders will be saying what they expect as an exit, 55/80p I'm sure. Whatever happens, they will be buying a growing business, great client base, growing. This will cement them as a serious player in the b2b space competing with Worldpay , global collect and all the other players.It's very specific business hence a great fit. They could help grow and use it to move their own money. If they wanted an updated network, it would take 5 years and much more money.

Sounds like your sipp provider is not up to speed, tell them your expecting a counter bid to 33p and you will only accept the highest bid which may take a few month to complete :-) hope you gave plenty of epo ££££

My SIPP provider is just notifying and asking today if I want to accept 30p from VISA. Obviously not, why would they put that to me today?

[goggin] 30/1/2019 15:18

11.7% as of 30th accepted - not alot

I do hope I have a sense of humour, but sadly not a lot of money to burn. :) :(

This is so jumpy at the moment, the overall trend might be upwards, but it could lurch up and down in the meantime so any kind of position could be stopped out unexpectedly. It's those nice kind-hearted MMs who try to make our lives interesting.

Arf's got tons of money to burn and a sense of humour I think!

[miti 1000] 29/1/2019 15:48

Hard to imagine Visa will not come in with a bid of a minimum of 40-42p now that Mastercard have shown their hand.

The share price is indicating that and I doubt Mastercard will give up.

2 giants after 1 minnow.

[goggin] 29/1/2019 15:26

Go Ahead then short if you want to but who through? Ig index have closing only, no longs or shorts acceptedAnswers on a postage stamp - 42p plus coming soon?

[arf dysg] 29/1/2019 15:18

This seems a bit toppy... I think I'll take out an ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE SHORT!

At least it'll pass the time.

[sirrux] 29/1/2019 13:28

A bit gung ho there from the goldie guys, what a party! It's start to look like a fight spilling out of the bar now - very old fashioned but if you really want the prize hey ho.

[cryptotrade] 29/1/2019 13:25

SilkstagImagine the person you called a mug buying at 5.22p. Yeah mug indeed

[cryptotrade] 29/1/2019 13:18

What visa buy stock, bid higher . Easy money. To some that's insider trading but on bidding war ethics it's fine.

[cryptotrade] 29/1/2019 13:15

What's going to close this is a knock out bid. Simple. 600m because they'll make lots from it. They've been unlucky but with the right backing it will be worth a billion in years to come. They'll not lose. For me 45plus then finally buds to 80p.

[goggin] 29/1/2019 13:07

New bid coming soon - 42p plus?

[cryptotrade] 29/1/2019 12:52

I suspect visa and MC are now going to buy from.exusting holders at a price and see who wins.

[cryptotrade] 29/1/2019 12:07

Yes visa and MC are doing it.

Go and look up arbitrage then see if YOU can spot them from the rule 8.3`s

[cryptotrade] 29/1/2019 08:13

Sorry I'll ask again SILKSTAG? You there? Silkstag could you simply say you got it WRONG?Just say you did.

[cryptotrade] 29/1/2019 08:12

ExArbs?Just say as you clearly have added up. Sorry don't understand your lingo and what you're saying X now holds X.

[exbroker] 28/1/2019 20:16

Crypto have a look at the Rule 8`s and add up how much the arbs now hold.
