Glaxosmithkline Takeover Rumours (GSK)

omg did this actually go through 15 quid earlier!! 230k i own of these and the most i have ever been in profit is 7k when they hit 16 and a bit...before they announced overpriced takeover of tired bio pharma....then whoosh back down.....if you want income by an income fund, better yield and get rid of stock specific risk, this stock is hopeless, market doesnt believe in it, with reason, and new management equally poor.

A merger or takeover perhaps with AZN once GSK split up? I hold both. Nice.

Yes looked into the deal, first deal really great deal, I was in Shire takeover took profit switched into GSK. 2019 I think all being well 2000p plus if all goes well. If you have CNBC Walsmley on 12pm London time, first interview on deal. Yanks will be buying 2.30pm.

Reminds me of the chicken and the pig, one day chicken says to pig, eggs and bacon for breakfast selling very well, lets merge, pig says great we will both make a fortune. Then pig suddenly thinks and says to chicken, hang on all you do is lay the eggs everyday, I get carved up. Thats why I called it merge not a takeover, said chicken, you would of not of agreed. GSK are they the pig in the story. 80p dividend ok for 2019 CEO said.
