fair enough and I apologise for being a bit rude but maybe my nature is changing after exchanges with certain types on a few threads ! take your point on your new word ( smile ) .

[anhar] 20/10/2021 09:43

Okay arja, I get it, no prob.

Having looked at a lot of boards on ADVFN, roundnumberism is rife though.

[arja] 20/10/2021 08:05

I had no ROUND figure in my mind when I made that post whether it be 300 , 400 or 500 .

[arja] 20/10/2021 08:03

anhar,
you still do not get my point . It was coincidentally that it stalled at just over 300 level and not because it was 300 . Ok, let;s say 303 if you wish ( smile ) .

[anhar] 19/10/2021 12:24

It's been a whole week since anyone mentioned a bid. Is that a record for the longest time with no false bid rumour? 😱

[anhar] 19/10/2021 10:12

No need to be offensive, I was just stating my view on this point, politely I thought.

You indicate that you agree but go on to repeat the view that round numbers have meaning when you say:

...it is indeed the big players who determine the price action and they are reluctant to take it through that 300 to 302...

As I said above, big players above all don't care about round numbers. It is vanishingly unlikely that they are somehow reluctant to take it over 300 because, unlike the view of many small investors, a round number does not represent some sort of barrier for them.

You could chart almost any big cap historical price and think you see some number barrier that it appears reluctant to breach, but it will often be a non-round number. People who believe in this may discard those and point only to those cases where the ostensible barrier is a round number because it is nicer, neater. People like nice neat patterns and frequently see them where they don't exist. Chance swirls in the randomness.

[anhar] 19/10/2021 09:53

Hitting 300 (or any round number) is a classic small investor market fallacy which imbues the number with some sort of meaning. In fact the shares and the pros and institutions who trade them and thereby create the price at any moment don't care about round numbers at all.

Small investors often do though because it sounds neat, both for individual share prices and also indices, but in practice they have no meaning, not even the psychological one that some ascribe to this. It's no more meaningful for a share to rise above, or fall below, say 300, than it wouuld be for 297 or 302 etc.

[arja] 19/10/2021 07:22

can not even get to 300 at present ! hoping something will stir it

[loganair] 12/10/2021 19:55

500p, far too high a target, more like 350p for any take over and 400p max if we're very, very lucky.

[rocketblast] 12/10/2021 18:44

Looking more likely a takeover at these prices so top up get ready and be patient. Target 500p or more soon. See charts.

[arja] 06/10/2021 15:00

i think you were right chiefbbrody as really hammered today .

[arja] 04/10/2021 13:11

yes , I think SBRY might be fully values as same market cap,as MRW who own their freehold I understand . But a better bid prospect than TSCO I guess

[chiefbrody] 04/10/2021 11:00

Volume a bit high so far but just media froth again.Lets have some more juicy rumours. Need to offload some more.

[redoctober5] 04/10/2021 08:51

It sure has popped.

[williamcooper104] 03/10/2021 22:07

A pop tomorrow morning??

Meanwhile, Apollo is understood to be taking an "exploratory" look at Sainsbury's, according to the Sunday Times. Apollo has been scouring the industry for targets after being outbid for Asda last year, It will team up with Fortress Game change on Monday with sainsburyGood luck to long time holder (Shorter too as they are also long time holder?)

The Morrisons take-over battle and saga are coming to a head this weekend.

Final bids in a complex one-day auction process are due tomorrow 2nd. October with the Board making its formal recommendation on Tuesday 5th.

Phew.


Seems to me that once the Morrisons' deal is over and with new sector valuation benchmarks established, that the market will be clear for other potential sector-related M&A activity .

ALL IMO. DYOR.

Trust me this situation is having a major economic impact

[quepassa] 30/9/2021 13:07

this is more like a W.I. discussion than a financial forum!

[spob] 30/9/2021 13:00

My car hasn't moved for a week

Nothing beats the Bicycle.

No fuel needed, park where you like, and straight through all the traffic jams.

[action] 30/9/2021 12:42

Best to try motorway petrol station if it is near buy. They get priority.

[spob] 30/9/2021 11:58

Very true. There was one idiot who phoned in to LBC radio the other day.

He started with his tank 3/4 full.

He decided he wanted his tank filled up to the max.

So he went out looking for fuel to top up.

He spent 6 hours driving around London in the middle of the night.

All of the petrol stations were empty.

He ran out of fuel.

[loganair] 30/9/2021 08:00

Being reported then many drivers are using 1/4 of a tank of petrol driving around looking for petrol and/or just sitting in the queue for petrol.

[spob] 30/9/2021 07:09

Regarding the Asda store mentioned above

They had a tanker delivery last night at 1am.

People queued all night waiting for the petrol station to open in the morning.

This morning they said they are not opening their petrol station because the queues are blocking local roads and disrupting customers wanting to buy food. And also blocking lorries delivering to the store

This is a very large Asda in north west London.

I wonder how many petrol stations have fuel but are having to stay closed because of the disruption the queues are causing.

I know London is probably much worse than the rest of the UK.

But it shows how bad things are in some areas of the country.
