I think it's likely that GVC will fall back temporarily one dilution occurs - that will be the time to buy this year, IMO.

[trentendboy] 05/2/2013 14:29

Exbroker is correct - you would need a good return to beat holding and waiting.

Any price difference between GVC and bid price is profit.

if you sell tell us what you buy - it will be interesting to see if you can "beat" holding

Better use for the cash, some into PTEC, LAM, HSD etc.

[exbroker] 05/2/2013 14:21

Why sell now unless you have a better use for the cash? You have a free put and call option until 12 March.

festario, with a supporter like you, gvc cant fail. good luck buddy.

[festario] 04/2/2013 23:05

I only exited because the gap between 233p and the current 266p was not sufficient for me to tie my money up.
I expect that 28 million additional GVC shares in issue 'could' force the GVC shareprice down.
If that happens, then I will simply use my cash to buy more of them at that stage.
Basically, I am looking to accumulate as many GVC shares as I can.

[cheshiremoggie] 04/2/2013 23:03

Option 3 for me also.

[trentendboy] 04/2/2013 22:30

Option 3 for me to

[finkie] 04/2/2013 16:40

Oh dear your all exiting and I was thinking of taking option 3 which is max share entitlement of GVC shares........I feel all alone now :0(

[ddz6006] 01/2/2013 21:13

I got out today with a healthy profit just above 55p I am happy it been a good rum for me glta

[v11slr] 01/2/2013 10:37

I'm out now. Looks too complicated for a white knight and I don't see any GVC effect materialising so I've decided to take my profit and move on.

[gotnorolex] 01/2/2013 09:21

Hey Grizz! Where next? ;~)

[cue ball] 01/2/2013 08:31

I WAS WRONG , VERY WRONG ON MY LAST remarks re; gvc price, but the recent trades suggest stake building, or maybe just want as many gvc shares as festario, but steke building could be a problem in the making.

[festario] 31/1/2013 20:41

It will be quick, and it will be a fait accompli.
Deal done, as all three boards are incentivised to deliver it, and almost all the insitutions have requested full allocation of GVC shares.

[cue ball] 31/1/2013 19:15

The next part of this nightmare could well be that the 75% acceptance level is not reached on voting day. might be june then when another vote is taken on a renewed offer of 65p, then the white knight comes along, spot on grizz, messy.

And time consuming, but dem lawyer boys and girls are well chuffed.

[grizzly bare] 31/1/2013 14:45

no longer hold any sporting... all gone positions closed now. enough.

[grizzly bare] 30/1/2013 15:18

Well GVC at 300p should value the bid at 58p. But no volume on GVC at all.

[trentendboy] 30/1/2013 11:53

GVC bouncing back nicely for the next leg up.

Any large buying will see a large jump in the price.

Try some dummy buys of GVC around the 10 - 50,000 mark and see what the price would be

[grizzly bare] 30/1/2013 09:22

Well is there ANY chance of another bidder appearing I wonder. I really dont think so but if the value of the share is underwritten at 55p should I hang on for another week... just in case! Hmmm.

[oohrogerpalmer] 29/1/2013 17:52

Likewise,
Not quite double bagger but close enough.
Thanks sbt.

[festario] 29/1/2013 16:27

I exited SBT today, instead of waiting for my allocation of GVC shares.
Too long to wait, now that the differential between 233p and 253 is so narrow.
Also, I am uncertain of the number of shares I will receive.

Instead I shall simply retain my long term GVC holding. Bye all!

[grizzly bare] 29/1/2013 15:50

Hi finkie. I feel a bit like you today and I wish I could blame it on alcohol but I can't!

I really feel I have had enough of Sbt now and am trying to decide whether to sell now and move on. I don't want to hold GVC shares but if I did I'd simply buy them.

I thought I'd hang on to see the start of the GVC re-listing to see if we could squeeze another couple of pence out of the Sbt share price but it seems we can't!

I bought most of my Sbt holding at 42p so I suppose I should be happy with 55p.

[grizzly bare] 29/1/2013 11:12

Haven't read all the blurb. Is one still able to take all cash at 55p!

GVC down 17p to 253p at the moment.

[exbroker] 29/1/2013 10:57

Morning bit of a technical update.... The last date for entering mix and match elections is 12 March if your stock is in crest. Most brokers will ask several days before, if you have a decent holding and a regular contact at the broker you could get it as close as the day before. They only have to press a few buttons when they are in the system so dont take any BS about it taking ages to do, 30 seconds should be enough!
