Timetable tbc,
Risks deal might not happen seem low chance, someone else might bid higher. Even lower chance I would say
First time for me this one. What happens next/from here?
Any chance Bt group will be bought out? I want this kind of rise!
Congratulations to all SH what a day you have had, unfortunately I wasn't in HC but happy for all , I hope the shop staff are going to be ok.
Congrats to all longs! I've been invested here for most of the last 2.5 years. It's been a bumpy ride but managed to buy quite a few cheaply over the last 1 year and now have my reward. I hope others have as well, especially those of you with whom we had a nice chat on this board. I've sold my position now and probably won't be posting much on here anymore. Good luck to whoever decides to hold this till the acquisition is complete!
Mars have paid a fair price for HOTC in my opinion, for once I manage to come out smelling of roses… I got in at £1.35 after the bad results last summer - but to be honest I didn’t expect this to happen in the current economic climate of uncertainty. Angus and Co have played a very lucrative blinder :)
It's a takeover Angelis. The price will hold around this level (the share price Mars have agreed to pay for HOTC) unless something comes out of the blue.
Peeps think a stock jumps 160% and there wont be a retrace? Okaaay. lol
Shorters gettig burned?
Lovely news
There are so many undervalued companies that wil be snapped up at this rate as the market has smashed everything indiscriminately
Congratulations to holders and those bought on recent lows!
P.S. Whoever was loading up large a month or two must have had a sniff that this was coming lol!!
Well done and ATB ;)
Probably worth the fca taking a look, huge buys yesterday that just don't take place on a normal trading day.
Well done to those who hold though.
That must be a near world record premium.
I don't hold any stock. Just wanted to say congratulations.
All IMHO DYOR
Happy
There is 3% between the market and offer price and that gapis too big to tempt me to sell. I doubt there will be a counter offer and it could all fall through but both seem v unlikely imv.
Looks like the big buys were someone in the know - not good form and I hope fca take a look .
#VRCI 50p by Xmas
The recent partnership between Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., a company with a market cap of 182 billion USD, and Verici Dx is a major development that many investors are overlooking. This joint venture has significant implications for the future of both companies and the broader healthcare industry.
I'm sold out completely. What an emotional ride.
Check out Focusrite, same pattern of trades and looks like they might get a takeover offer soon
Just got a 3000 sell through on HL at 365
Thanks guys albeit I can't seem to sell the buggers now. HL not letting me
Not sure what time Hotel Chocolat opens but I'd bargain he'd be there celebrating with a large Peruvian bar of chocolate washed down with an extra large mug of hot chocolate. Well done Tom !
Been with HOTC since the phone ordering days.
But my average is more than the offer price….
I always said it would go to a big player but I was hoping closer to £7
Hey ho- all goood things come to an end..
Chocs away!
Agreed well done Tom321 …. I wonder if he is still in bed or in the pub celebrating
Well done Tom231. Great to see....
