Most of the "big cheeses" with whom we might be dealing are probably in Bogota sipping guaros (or something a little stronger) and enjoying the altiplano.
Given the opportunities in Colombia, by comparison, St. Tropez would seem quite dull. It generally seems quite hard to winkle JW out of Colombia, to make a trip back to the UK.
I suspect that the “big cheeses” who sit on the boards or credit committees or investment committees of potential buyers may be currently in St Tropez. Perhaps more may happen once they’re back and have packed Torquil and Jocasta back off to boarding school. Agree, Mr Big....hold...
Going by past performance of this BOD I am not as excited as I was after the offer. Quite perturbed at the lack of any news whatsoever , has the company downed tools? Silly me topped up at 19.2 so peeved at that one too. I hope they spring a surprise but at the moment I can't see a blockbuster offer in the making. 25 may be it. Hope it's higher but gut feeling says this isn't going to go as high as we'd like. Still , i'd be happy with a sale @ 25 cash just to be done with the BOD. Oil investments are off the table for me after this one . Fingers crossed it sells.
A reminder please on the date this was said, as I remember it, the question is whether or not they can be trusted to deliver.
Mr Blast - perhaps some holders have been lured into cashing out some AMER to day play elsewhere and return. but, as the saying goes, when the tide turns we'll know who isn't wearing swimmers.
In terms of lack of buying pressure. My observation is PIs get giddy on company RNS day (not the holding ones). As the BB has done to death, the lack of another proposed or actual offer means folk don't know up to what amkes buying more a deal. But on that point, I return to the BOD statements of "strong advice" not to sell.
I was just thinking the same, Mr big.
I generally think of myself as a reasonably “sophisticated” investor, to use the old FCA terminology. However, I have to revisit this assumption as I simply cannot understand why there hasn’t been buying pressure to force the price upwards, even if only from PIs. AMER seems like a call option trading on zero (or perhaps even negative) premium. I really don’t get it.
(There again, Bunds trade at minus 70 bps, so apparently everyone’s drinking the koolaid...)
i really cannot believe the deal at which you can still scoop up these puppies.
Added another batch at 17.3p ish.
