[portside1] 27/1/2017 12:45

if it is a good deal the share price would be well over 250p by now

[portside1] 27/1/2017 12:44

hang on lake . the share price is only back to were it was before results well almost
funds are not buying , that is why they have hardly moved to go back to were they was is not that good . lets wait and see

Anony Mous, Utter nonsense.

The share price is up around 10% today and all the publicity is positive, so I would take exception to your post as having absolutely no substance whatsoever and is nothing other than a pathetic throwaway deramping comment.

As for Porty, we expect that.

[anony mous] 27/1/2017 12:33

Probably end up red on the day.Not a done deal and looks unlikely to happen. That's how the markets see it.Hence dismal share price reaction.

[portside1] 27/1/2017 12:20

NOT A GREAT REACTION STILL ONLY 206P STILL DOWN BY A LONG WAY

I doubt Sainsbury's will really feel they have grounds to object having merged with Argos. I think the deals are comparative in many ways. Booker is wholesale and supplies a completely different group of customers. They supply to restaurants, small wholesalers etc so though the CMA will obviously look at the deal they are unlikely to find grounds to object. I'm sure CW and DL will have gone in to great detail to ensure that the deal is possible.

[alphorn] 27/1/2017 10:56

L - would agree with that; Sainsbury's and the like may oppose though.

I remain net short, but at a higher strike price so relaxed.

edit: as a precaution have now closed out the naked call element for a gain. Remaining calls (220p) covered by shares.

[ladeside] 27/1/2017 10:43

Alphorn, I'm pretty sure they'd have tested the water behind the scenes, also it's a political merger with 2 strong UK based companies becoming stronger in the face of Brexit.

Let's face it, we've very few uk owned companies remaining, especially in the FTSE 100.

[alphorn] 27/1/2017 10:36

The competition question remains.

[alphahunter] 27/1/2017 10:25

As often with mergers/take-overs, there has been an overshoot in TSCO share price.
Day-trading short is looking good.

[temmujin] 27/1/2017 10:10

i noticed vodafone's trading update next week...must be worth a good punt now their share price has fallen so low

[woodpeckers] 27/1/2017 09:51

And if they've ANY sense at all they'll close now. CW will turn this company around bigtime.

[bazzerhino] 27/1/2017 09:51

Do the math

[retsius] 27/1/2017 09:47

Must be a lot of shorters getting whacked this morning!!

[blunderbuss] 27/1/2017 09:41

Spot on Woodie

[blunderbuss] 27/1/2017 09:37

Well, if Charlie Wilson says there is good potential then I'm staying in. Sold TSCO and bought Booker years ago from 45p, stayed with them because of confidence in Wilson. Not unhappy.

[woodpeckers] 27/1/2017 09:27

Just getting Charles Wilson to join the Tesco board should have put more than 10% on the market cap let alone getting Booker along with him. He's a CEO in a million and will make sure those dividends come back big time. Marks and Spencers tried to pinch him from us at one point but he stayed loyal to Booker.

[portside1] 27/1/2017 09:27

div next year so only 15 months to wait

[ladeside] 27/1/2017 09:11

The reintroduction of the dividend is obviously huge news also but appears to be somewhat overshadowed by the takeover / merger.

Big Big day in the history of Tesco, make no mistake about that........

[ladeside] 27/1/2017 09:09

Londis, Premier, Makro, Booker Cash & Carry etc plus much more

[woodpeckers] 27/1/2017 09:06

Well I'm a Booker shareholder and wasn't thrilled to see the news this morning, we were doing very nicely on our own thank you. However it's done, at least Charles Wilson will have something more to get his teeth in to. If anyone can make something of this company it's him. This is a great deal for Tesco.
