Could open your Sunday papers to see "Guy Hands in £16 a share hotel swoop"


Wouldn't that be nice?!

I suppose conversely, buying them back for cancellation could be quite shrewd as the remaining reduced share capital is attributed a higher value.

In any case, should have followed you out at £14 plus. I was poised on the button.

Lets see what tomorrows papers make of it. There's plenty of smoke.

Hear that it's been pretty "informed" buying, so could easily spike again. However, company just announced that they've been buying back shares so they know nothing!

rhodes - timed it well by the look of things.

I sold half a few weeks ago - perhaps I'll stay for the ride.

So share price drop has a meaning. From my experience, I've seen share price usually drop before take-over bid.

Another fall in these today, but soon to be the object of a takeover?

I just watched working lunch and they discussed Intercontinental. "A potential takeover target then?" said the interviewer. "Definitely" came the response.

Remember where you heard it first. No, not on ADVFN, on Working Lunch!

Barclay Bros take a stake - is it a blocker or pre- curser.

Market likes it - whichever.

Those bid rumours are back - as forecast.

Week end press may give us a steer.

Eventually they will have no hotels, just management contracts. What will happen to the share price if the top managers leave to start up their own managing company and undercut on price.

Got out this morning, I did say short term.
Now watch the bid arrive. Still not bad for less than 24 hours.

Took a large position after the pullback. In for the ride short term.
If wrong then will just hold on.

Not too hard I suggest. There are many potential suitors - and they won't all disappear into thin air.

Whether or not a bid comes in short time or not,recent M& A in the sector will ensure there'll continue to be fun and games.
