Minerve has asked me to answer on his behalf.

Fail, you f'ing morons.
GKN 480, you c'suckers
MRO 150, and good riddance to dogsh...

[gettingrichslow] 20/3/2018 22:40

Thanks for kicking the competition off Meanwhile. Your guess is very similar to mine. I'm going with this:
Fail
GKN 395, MRO 245

Come on Minerve get off the fence and give us some numbers!!

[gettingrichslow] 20/3/2018 22:36

Why is the country 'going to the dogs' Minerve? We've got the opportunity of a lifetime with Brexit surely?

[meanwhile] 20/3/2018 22:33

getting,

Fail
GKN 410, MRO 230
Complete guess.

There will be wallet photo update on 30th March, so why not wait for then?

[meanwhile] 20/3/2018 22:25

Was that a 'yes', Minerve, or a 'no'?

[meanwhile] 20/3/2018 22:10

When I've become bored with a discussion, I just ask an irrelevant question, so here goes :-

Would anyone like a signed photo of my wallet?

[gettingrichslow] 20/3/2018 22:09

The last lyrics you gave us, Minerve, were from R Kelly. Something slightly less cheesy next time please!! Pink Floyd perhaps?
Anyway with only a few days to go who's up for a little prediction competition? Question 1: will bid succeed or fail?
Question 2: price of shares on 30 March?

[minerve] 20/3/2018 21:56

I was wondering when we were going to light a fire, sit around it, and sing a few songs. 9 days or so before the answer.

[gettingrichslow] 20/3/2018 21:45

Meanwhile, seeing as though you are being very precise about words today, shouldn't that be 'duo'? Unless we're having a sing-song?

mayers

"I would like certainties... but I know there aren't any."

You missed out a few words from my sentence. You should also join the BBC.
Why not go together with gettingrichslow, as a duet.

"I would like certainties... but I know there aren't any."
Are you talking about God?

[minerve] 20/3/2018 20:42

Me? Foul language? No, surely not!

[meanwhile] 20/3/2018 20:35

No foul language though.

[gettingrichslow] 20/3/2018 20:28

That's worse than anything Minerve has said to anyone!!

[meanwhile] 20/3/2018 19:49

getting,

I can't recall these phrases. You may have imagined me using them.
I do like 'numbers' & 'correct numbers'.
I would like 'certainties' in the market but I know there aren't any.

With your aptitude in this area, you should join the BBC.

[gettingrichslow] 20/3/2018 19:05

Ok, I've misquoted. But I'm sure you've mentioned liking 'hard numbers' and 'certainties'?

[meanwhile] 20/3/2018 18:50

getting,

"(bearing in mind you've said before that you like hard calculations, not just guesstimating)?"

Where did I say this? Maybe you think I implied it.
Future share prices can't be calculated.

[gettingrichslow] 20/3/2018 18:34

Meanwhile, how did you get to your 400p (bearing in mind you've said before that you like hard calculations, not just guesstimating)?

[meanwhile] 20/3/2018 17:38

Calm yourselves, everybody.
Yertiz : Disparity in share prices. I don't agree that GKN would fall back to 330-50 if the market expected a 'fail' result. 400p maybe.
Minerve : I'm not a moron but there are a few about.
Several posters : I get the feeling you would support the Melrose bid if they increased the offer further and offered 3 MRO for one GKN. I think it will fail because the numbers now don't support the bid. You seem oblivious to price, thinking MRO can work miracles. The big 3 are trying to sacrifice their own shareholders cash to suit their personal egos & ambitions.

[yertiz] 20/3/2018 12:33

Minerve say something? Probably disgusting or defamatory (or both). Such an unpleasant individual - I don't think he is cut out to be an investor.

[minerve] 20/3/2018 11:07

"sorry but that boat sailed a long time ago."

Shame you and the supporting morons didn't sail with it! ;)

[brexitplus] 20/3/2018 11:05

Yertiz. I support all you are saying.

I have now turned my attention to that great British bank Barclays and my investment in Sherborne C, safe in the knowledge that Melrose will be just fine.

[yertiz] 20/3/2018 10:59

Meanwhile: Are you basing this purely on the disparity in share prices for MRO and GKN or in association with the commentaries from major investors, pensions etc? I still feel this will go to the wire and be a close call with MRO winning the bid. If the market thought this was a definite fail, then GKN would be back in the £3.30-.50 area and MRO would be falling too (but less so)?

Project Boost and the Dana deals aren't all they are cracked up to be for the PI, and for the bleeding hearts wanting to keep the great name of GKN 'British', sorry but that boat sailed a long time ago.

[meanwhile] 20/3/2018 10:28

The market is now strongly indicating a fail.
