14/8/2015 16:20 | EdmondJ, I think you'd pay the same tax if you sold the shares. | meanwhile | |
14/8/2015 14:01 | cisk.. most links will work if you change one of the http letters to a capital eg. | eipgam | |
14/8/2015 11:18 | Depends if you get hit for tax on the capital return, then yes wait to buy afterwards. Presumably that is partly why some brokers are touting clients to exit. Obviously it doesn't affect institutions or anyone holding in an ISA or SIPP, but anyone else could get a whopping income tax bill. Shoot, if I am misguided, but that looks the case. | edmondj | |
14/8/2015 11:11 | Morning MW / AJTM I read the Charles Stanley Melrose note with much chuckling - it's clear that Rae Ellingham, the analyst covering the stock, doesn't know much. The quality of their research is v. poor and they just rehash publicly available figures. I believe the driver of the short-term valuation is how much debt the remaining group will be left with post-disposal; there could be a significant discrepancy there between post-dividend share price and how much cash they retain. Time will tell... I had a little rant on stockopedia the other day concerning analysts and a poster asked if they were any good ones worth following - take a look if you're interested: hxxp://www.stockoped (change the xx to tt in url) If there are any good analysts out there, they'd be trading on their own and keeping well quiet and enjoying the returns from their research. Or running a fund and putting their money where their mouths are. Otherwise they work for a broker like Charles Stanley - or Goldmans and the like - and churn out rubbish and get paid handsomely for it! | cisk | |
14/8/2015 10:50 | What a pleasure it is to read your comments. They make an interesting balance to the advice my brokers give which is to sell-I actually told them I would not be selling. Thank you once again | am just the messenger | |
14/8/2015 10:23 | There may not be a better opportunity for some time to buy MRO than right now. Around £2.40 in cash (assuming the sale goes ahead) + a business and a share price of £2.70. You can't lose much. And another new venture coming soon. The 2 recent broker downgrades confirm this theory. How clueless they are. Charles Stanley suggests a 'temporary exit', presumably expecting a dormant period. Well, you'd be bloody annoyed if you missed the next acquisition announcement, wouldn't you, because you'd exited temporarily. Don't they know that MRO's gains come when they announce something and not when they do it. | meanwhile | |
10/8/2015 12:15 | If Buffett had lived in the UK he would not have bought TSCO imv. One of his rare mistakes. | essentialinvestor | |
10/8/2015 12:08 | Wasn't it a fellow called Warren Buffett who bought a big chunk of TESCO at around 350p in 2013? | meanwhile | |
05/8/2015 08:11 | Thank you guys You are a very knowledgeable bunch and will follow your advice. Thank you once again | am just the messenger | |
05/8/2015 04:29 | Don't forget they will already have about £1.3bn in cash from the Honeywell sale post the £2 distribution depending what happens to the existing debt (£787m). | sogoesit | |
04/8/2015 17:24 | am just: they have committed to returning c£2 per share to the shareholders and then will raise some more for the new purchase. As M/while has pointed out, it is likely that we will be offered discounted shares if we take part in the £3bln fund raising. Judging by previous experience. | eipgam | |
04/8/2015 16:31 | Buying up businesses, improving them and then selling them on is Melrose's sole purpose. | meanwhile | |
04/8/2015 13:30 | Just a further question. We will be receiving a divi covering the sale of the business to Honeywell. Are you thinking that Melrose have a new venture lined up as once this sale goes thru there will be little left? | am just the messenger | |
04/8/2015 13:07 | Wowie--many many thanks-much appreciated | am just the messenger | |
04/8/2015 13:01 | lol at victim | essentialinvestor | |
04/8/2015 12:45 | My advice is 'don't sell them now'. The shares are entering their 'money-making period', when a new acquisition is seen to be coming, with new shares issued at a good discount and the market seeing the prospect of a big turnround in the victim's business. Look at past history of the share price. This is where the shareholder money is made. | meanwhile | |
04/8/2015 11:41 | Good morning gentlemen, Being advised to sell my small Melrose holding now as once the proceeds have been returned the share price will be reduced accordingly. Any advice from your end? Thank you | am just the messenger | |
03/8/2015 17:41 | The sales proceeds are likely to be returned by tried and trusted means (if the rules still apply) eg taken as income or capital gain. SL. have just done a similar operation with the proceeds of their Canadian sale. As far as financing the next deal, I do seem to recall MRO had a rights issue at one time and I remember selling some nil paids to finance buying some of the new shares. (no spare cash at the time). It does seem to be an expensive process to divvy up £2bln and then ask all the same people (and others of course) to stump up £3bln. Perhaps they will devise an alternative. | eipgam | |
03/8/2015 12:21 | We all agree then. What I'm looking forward to seeing is the structure of the sell & buy finances, by that I mean the return of 2 Billion to existing shareholders and the financing of the next acquisition. How it's done may depend on the timing of the next acquisition, I suppose. In line with previous sales, Melrose are committed to returning the cash from sales, rather than directly re-investing it. | meanwhile | |
03/8/2015 11:55 | Absolutely agree magpie . | redips2 |
