Yes, congrats to all holders, especially those forecasting the takeover. Dangerous to be shorting those down for reason other than their own trading and debt loads. Funnily enough I am short Staffline; it takes something monumental for an auditor to resign. It would be rare for a takeover to happen in those circumstance, but not impossible. Loss making people businesses with negative interest cover going into a global slowdown are not really what PE is all about. Anyway, that's not for here.

Uk plc on offer at these prices and the weak pound, who's next...

Yah I suppose it is a concrete offer at 850p so if others interested maybe auction to highest bidder.

[spud] 19/8/2019 16:03

And there we have it! Another great English company sold. I wouldn't be selling out just yet - MMs bidding above the bid price of 850p - Could be another predator in the wings..

Dunno maybe, but it's a big premium at 850p..maybe wait, could be other bids?otherwise 850 is good. ..

I made only 300 squids to late in the spike.

[andyadvfn1] 19/8/2019 15:56

I only bought into these to get the 25% discount vouchers at my local. Ah well.

[richsawko] 19/8/2019 15:56

Will this trigger a buyers war or is it worth selling out now

[chc15] 19/8/2019 15:51

Ck asset, huge!

[chc15] 14/8/2019 13:44

Yep agreed, ripe for takeover now, not just from the US. May top up later..

[waspfactory] 14/8/2019 12:37

I'm thinking the same spud, also got IMI on my radar for the same reason.

[spud] 14/8/2019 12:34

Weak pound and weak share price = A bargain for an American company. How long before yet another old English business makes the trip across the Atlantic I wonder...

Yes +4.5p today if you take the xd for 24.4p into account

We all know who's missing something Skinny, and it's not you. Over reaction to ex dividend in a bearish market. Nothing to worry about IMO.

I must be missing something - the first chart IS for GNK - this is it with the size increased to 3 in the HTML.

[chc15] 08/8/2019 10:52

Doubt it, if it goes near 4, then a takeover is a defo..
