[laserdisc] 28/7/2015 09:53

my chq arrived this morning that being for those that accepted before 13/7

[laserdisc] 27/7/2015 19:39

no chq received either this morning , hmm I will advise when I get it

[killieboy] 27/7/2015 17:54

Laserdisc- that's what I thought but not received a penny!

[laserdisc] 22/7/2015 08:22

Those with shares in cert form who accepted the offer before 13th July should be getting a chq settlement by next Monday 27 July 2015

I'm out as at this morning,,,,for a few quid dealing costs, was able to get 1.45, and cash in the bank on 6th July.
Leaving with a profit, Happy dayzz....

Thanks laserdisc and brando69. With a potential negative day or two coming, hence potential top-up opportunity, it may well be best to just sell THT at a pretty fixed price 144.75-145p and use the funds while there is likely to be some "blood on the street" with regards to the Greece situation. I have my eye on a few companies already:

PRG
CCT
XAR
BOO
ARM
EZJ

Think all will end up much higher in future after any Greek blip this week ;-)

Also possible top-up in NANO, but that is much riskier than the above at this stage IMO.

Anyone seen Blonde?

[allstar4eva] 28/6/2015 20:04

Anyone seen Blonde here recently?

[laserdisc] 28/6/2015 17:39

agree entirely especially if your shares are in a nominee account you can trade on a 2 day settlement , mine were in cert form & I have already sent off certs with acceptance form I will let the board know if I receive a chq early

[brando69] 28/6/2015 10:59

cannot see point of holding now unless you think a counter bid is in the wings. you should be able to sell for 145 or near to it. but that's just me...

[laserdisc] 28/6/2015 10:37

offer is open until 13th july so at that date we will know how many shares ferro has acquired, we then move on to Thorntons shares being de listed which takes further 20 days at least, so I would think we could receive settlement by mid August

[lauders] 28/6/2015 02:40

Not exactly clear from the offer document on THT's website about the timeline unless I missed it in all that text! If shareholders wait for payment (advantage = no dealing costs), how long will it be before payment is actually received? Sorry for a stupid question but there is a lot of text and I did not see the answer clearly. Probably missed it!

[brando69] 24/6/2015 15:31

Am guessing therefore that Ferrero have instructed their brokers to buy anything up to 145. For those who don't want to sit around waiting for the acquisition to finalise, then that seems like a good exit route.

[brando69] 24/6/2015 15:30

Latest RNS shows Ferholdings - obviously Ferrero - up to 40%.

I opted to sell my last 16865 shares on a fill/kill at 144.75... and appear to have got 145 for them. That'll do!

[brando69] 24/6/2015 15:18

All's well that ends well... pleased to have held on through thick and thin. Time to find another home for the winnings.

[brahmsnliszt] 24/6/2015 15:01

Hope you're not too exposed in qpp stud after today.

[laserdisc] 24/6/2015 11:13

received my paperwork this morning bye bye thorntons just looking at share certs oldest 15 years ago paid £1.10p newest 3 years ago paid 32p time goes by
I follow crystal amber if you think oil will recover then take a punt in HUR crystal amber have 11% of that co now they probably have an average of 14p CA started buying at 18p all the way down to 12p. as always dyor and take a long term view

[kumala] 22/6/2015 19:10

Thanks Kill: not had chance to read up on latest news etc. CheersK

[killieboy] 22/6/2015 18:12

Deal done - no higher price KUMALA!

[kumala] 22/6/2015 17:28

Might we see a higher price..... ?K

[stud-muffin] 22/6/2015 17:05

Signing off here.

Been a more polite board than most.

For those who might care QPP is my current nap for a little financial reward - long overdue.

DYOR but I think it will show some good returns in the coming few months - if not sooner.

[europa79] 22/6/2015 16:10

Ferrero, I really don't think you're spoiling us enough !
Ah well, thanks for the posts everyone. Hope you did well.

[europa79] 22/6/2015 15:34
