ADR's volume only 16.5k at 16.30pm.

[ivanborsky] 17/5/2021 16:38

So pretty much expected today, no £1.30 even with all the merger news in the sector. Over to the ADRs to see if it can continue its run for the last two weeks !!

ADRs down 1.5% on 518 traded

Ivan,

One last carefree English summer (preferably with some decent sunshine)

Then carnage in the Fall as it all comes tumbling down.

Riots/Religion of peace induced protests occurring in parts of London I hear over the Middle East crisis. Rotten boroughs no doubt.

Such should be stamped upon with extreme prejudice.

As long as the $ printing press is still plugged in, we've still got a few more months of this ponzi scheme to run !! Then bring on the carnage !!

AT&T have a Mkt Cap of $220 billion, reading that just tells me that the US market is a bubble.

I only hope if ITV are going to be a bid target, somebody from one of these overvalued behemoths have figured out that the UK FTSE is at bargain levels, bargains compared to the US silly valuations.

Would I be the only one on here thinking FFS get it gone before the US bubble bursts. I would love to get 175p and put this POS in the past.

Makes me wonder why GS bothered to disclose that they held over 21% of ITV in August 2020, if they can get away with not disclosing? Maybe the true figure is never disclosed.

[ivanborsky] 17/5/2021 11:47

AT&T, current market cap $220bn, Discovery $23bn. Value of the merger, bit more than $100bn :))

[slater5] 17/5/2021 11:32

Nige..Goldman are past masters at skullduggery, if they are involved with ITV in any way, they will be representing someone else and they will be making plenty of dosh out of it.

Look at their handling of the Greece debacle, were there any fines?

Low volume at 11am.

[ivanborsky] 17/5/2021 11:23

The Variety TV website is all over AT&T/Discovery merger and its caused quite a stir by all accounts. An official announcement could be made today, so that will probably be midday here UK time or after hours late this evening in the US. The value of the merger, just a mere $100bn !!!!!!!

[nige co] 17/5/2021 10:58

Yes I know that GS have history and fines for their shady dealings. If you're right Ivan regarding the only time we will get an RNS percentage update from GS is or when a bid materializes, I would expect GS to receive a large fine if they're breaking the rules. I expect time will tell.

[jacko07] 17/5/2021 10:57

Ivan...I agree 100%...Every time I see the name Goldman Sachs I am reminded of the movie 'Margin Call'. The writer of the movie based the story on the US sub prime meltdown in 08, it is based on several US financial institutions including GS and Lehman Bros.

We all know that GS came out of the meltdown smelling of roses, so my guess it is almost a documentary on GS.

If you've got 10 minutes watch this clip from beginning to end because it sums up GS and a host of others. If you haven't seen the movie, it's a must see for anyone who invests in the stock market.

[ivanborsky] 17/5/2021 09:43

Nige, may I suggest updating your reading material. The only time we will get a GS RNS holdings in ITV will be after the bid !! As I have said on here before, GS are the masters of 'cloak and dagger' dealings, they would sell their own grannies if it made them a few more quid !!!

[hades1] 17/5/2021 09:09

Probably not GS.
Using ADRs, using cap etc and general L2/3 trading are all very different tactics to the trading methods GS used back in Jan and over the past 3 years!
Morgan Stanley? - Morgan Stanley are already running a large unauthorised ITV ADR programme but in reality it could be any of them?
Time will tell.

[nige co] 17/5/2021 09:07

If they are. they would have to disclose their shareholding percentage.

[ivanborsky] 17/5/2021 08:58

What if GS are now acting on behalf of another client ???

[nige co] 17/5/2021 08:45

I think that we are all awaiting the ADR price and volume.

With GS holding less than 3% of ITV I'm not sure that they're in control anymore. With Liberty recalling their shareholding from GS, I would have thought that Liberty would now want the share price to recover now that they've gone long on the stock.

[hades1] 17/5/2021 08:22

Weak L2/3 750k:960k
No overhang
Quiet at 200k traded

[ivanborsky] 17/5/2021 08:13

Its certainly put the cat amongst the pigeons, that's for sure ! Remember GS do not want to call the stock any higher so it will be interesting if £1.30 will break this afternoon !

[nige co] 17/5/2021 07:44

So will the potential consolidation in the media sector force the ITV acquirer's hand Ivan? The higher the ITV share price rises the more expensive the ITV takeover offer becomes.

ADR's closed at $18.46 + $0.37 2.05%............ = 130.90p

[ivanborsky] 17/5/2021 07:08

With the news of Narrative Cap buying Sony UK channels and the development of AT&T last night, all eyes will be on ITV today. What will GS do now ??? Its going to be fun team !!!

[scooper72] 16/5/2021 21:26

Already got some. Thanks. Any idea when it will be worth something?
