14/4/23 Bought for 3700 ( -9 % ) have lots of spare funds .

This is going to rise slowly towards the deal price….now only 1% off. Think I will sell, but what to buy…..I can get 250 CVSG for each 100 DPH, still veterinary and currently suppressed by CMA enquiry, or just stick it in a Tech fund?

What are others doing?

I’ve cashed in my holding. There does not seem to be any interest from a rival bidder, the SP is in a very tight range and, although I could wait and allow for a natural conclusion, there is an opportunity cost to consider.

No decision on placing of the proceeds, suffice that it has filled our respective ISA wrappers and triggered a capital gain. I’m sure I have a few duffers to mitigate but may good fortune extend to all investors.

The results are tomorrow, but will be meaningless as this edges towards the deal completion. Most deals allow any divi to be deducted from the offer price, so i expect they will not declare a dividend….they may give some further detail on the expected timing….

Now only a couple of percent below the offer price…while that is a safe return it may take 6 months which may not be attractive for some…..definitely entering the time to sell zone.

Thanks Alas; this is v helpful. All things considered, I think I'll sell now.
