i think it was you who started it - LOL

Anyway, i sincerely apologise if i've hurt your feelings.

[nigelpm] 06/3/2008 14:13

apatel - please keep the personal stuff out of it mate. It doesn't interest me one iota.

[apatel21] 06/3/2008 14:11

Eaglet and Aviva are also out.

[williebiz] 06/3/2008 14:11

Don't agree with your view that IMP share price would fall to 80-90. IMV Premier will be perfectly happy to keep accumulating @ 115p until the cows come home or until they are legally barred from doing so.

[williebiz] 06/3/2008 14:09

More RNSs coming out detailing who sold

[apatel21] 06/3/2008 14:09

Though RAB didn't exactly shine with NRK...

RAB will start getting a rep for taking wild punts if they are not careful. Todays price action says it all. Those fortunate to have bailed out @ 115p could be having the last laugh if it goes to a stalemate. I can see IMP falling to 80-90 if that happens.

[williebiz] 06/3/2008 13:58

Looks like it. So much for not getting more than 115p LOL ;-)

Though RAB didn't exactly shine with NRK...

So - if I read it right - RAB Capital went long yesterday on CFD's equivalent to 7.51% of IMP at 115.56.

Re post 2758, good summary worth reading

TDW are insistent that elections for the HYDG cash alternative can't be withdrawn, even though deadline is 18 March 1pm (i.e. your shares are frozen and can't be sold if you want to)

Be interested to hear of anyone with similar experiences - whether selling is the right thing to do or not isn't the case here. surely any FSA regulared firm has to react to a clients instructions if well within the official deadlines set out.

Another 1.7 million traded

[apatel21] 06/3/2008 11:57

LOL nigel - those who say they bought for the long term then sell after a 10% rise in price clearly know what they are talking about ; )

Nigel - just in case you miss it

[kimboy2] 06/3/2008 11:40

I wonder who he sold to then.

[buffin] 06/3/2008 11:37

Some of the trades going through are a little strange. This morning 250k have gone through at 115.31p.

And Pierce Casey sold yesterday at 115.4.

[williebiz] 06/3/2008 11:36

Not if you're Irish ;-)

[apatel21] 06/3/2008 11:33

williebiz - would that not be insider trading?

[williebiz] 06/3/2008 11:13

Don't you think sophisticated investors like Guy Thomas and Pierce Casey would have contacted the top man at HYDG to discuss whether HYDG were thinking about increasing their offer?

Of course they would.

They got a 'no' and sold out.

[nigelpm] 06/3/2008 10:59

Those using multiple LOL's don't fill me with much confidence ;-)

Let's face it chaps - no-one at this stage knows what's going to happen.

All that's certain is that Premier have amassed a decent stake and have made an offer at 115p. Anything could still happen.

[apatel21] 06/3/2008 10:53

LOL - theres only one mans understanding of the rules i trust and thats Gengulphus. 116p - 115p not much difference IMO. LOL those holding out for significantly more are dreaming.

[williebiz] 06/3/2008 10:47

Apatel, yesterday you said the offer wouldn't go over 115p LOL

[williebiz] 06/3/2008 10:46

Premier can buy in the market for whatever amount they like, though. Another day or two like yesterday and they won't have to buy too many back under the offer* at the highest price paid, anyway ;-)

*ie all Premier's shares bought so far haven't been bought under the offer terms

[apatel21] 06/3/2008 10:40

nick agree- they will probably up to a 116p.

[apatel21] 06/3/2008 10:40

People seem to have a lot of respect for 3i here but it seems they have messed up big time here IMO.

[nickcduk] 06/3/2008 10:40

Some of the trades going through are a little strange. This morning 250k have gone through at 115.31p. No doubt Premier will be the buyer but aren't they obliged to pay the highest price they have paid for any shares to all shareholders. If so they will have to nudge up their offer slightly from 115p.

[apatel21] 06/3/2008 10:37

The only way i can see HYDG winning this one now is offering something like 140p and reverting to a normal takeover rather than a scheme of arrangement - highly unlikely IMO.
