Well I would have said it was academic anyway as protests rarely make a difference. However, it sounds like the human windbag will be avoiding London as he's too sensitive the poor love. Maybe there will be more of these things in the future :-)
Hardly surprising about the actions of the politically correct mayor of Sheffield, given that he is a black, muslim immigrant who condemns our own monarchy. To be fair I quite like the guy but I don't think his views represent the views of the majority of the people of Sheffield.
DT is the democatically elected president of the USA. You may not like his views but at least you know what they are, rather than the pathetic sound bites of Mrs May and her cronies, who are basically in it for themselves and stuff the rest.
As regards ISAT I am considerably down on these but am more optimistic on now than I have been for a long time and will be holding them for at least the next 12 months.
And being utterly juvenile and rude . Anyway let’s change the subject . I’m am relieved the frugal genius stumbled at the first hurdle , as he obviously forgot he had to pay for the company . He is in my books a complete plonker . We now grow back organically or get a good offer within 6 months from serious bidders and not complete clowns . Yes we will get some shorting next week , but that will be temporarily and after a few weeks if no real offers come forward, then we start to recover normally.
Rubbish. Protesting a vital piece of the democracy puzzle that said president is doing his darndest to undermine. Creativity is the only weapon a peaceful protester has so well done to them and to the mayor of Sheffield who had his council do a Mexican dance and give the big orange one a symbolic ban from entering his fair city.
I don't think this is over. Do they own 5% now or 6%?
It’s the left wing that think they rule UK . Basically they are ignorant snowflakes who have no manners . Whether you like the guy or not , it is just not the correct way to behave .
Organically. This has good potential to recover medium term to 650 800 within about 6 months anyway, so I’m glad this plonker was all talk . Perhaps we should replace the London trump blimp with him instead. At least trump has big round ones and puts his money where his mouth is
well that's **** it! Monday is going to be painful :(
DT
you got what you wished for, no bids anymore whatsoever
from Echostar
I am holding out now till other bidders come in . Hopefully this joker making this stupid bid will be locked out
If i wasn’t suspicious I would almost think there are trolls telling us how wonderful this stupid offer is .
With no proof I'll admit, but I will bet that the vast majority of UK PIs do not want to hold individual shares quoted only on a non UK market. Via UK based Unit Trusts maybe but not individual equities. Of course I know that you can sell such shares but Barclays who I (unfortunately) use at the moment do not support such holdings on their Smart Investor platform. And even if they did I'm sure that the fees, hassle and delay they would impose on selling non UK shares would be considerably more than UK ones. I stand by what I said, so kindly stop being patronising
"want a big discount to compensate for getting saddled with US quoted shares"
you are aware you can sell these fast and cheap nowadays huh?
your reaction is what people said in the 70's
Why make an offer so low knowing you haven’t a cats chance in L to have any consideration of it being looked at seriously.
The ring for bidding . It’s so undervalued and is back on its way up as well as being stand alone 10 pound a share according to RBC
I wasn't aware that the proposed offer was only part cash - I missed that, tanks for pointing it out. Certainly am not interested in part paper, especially not interested in directly holding foreign shares. Think that will keep the LSE quote well below any offer that comes about because holders would want to dispose of shares before any offer became final and buyers would want a big discount to compensate for getting saddled with US quoted shares. I for one would bail out. Even less of a happy bunny now!
I think you are in a better position than many on the board as the share price has been far higher than the current level in recent times without a bid. The company appears fundamentally sound (mind you I thought that about Carillion!), with some reservations about management rewards and the way that they elevated dividends to an unsustainable level - I think the dividend reduction alone caused much of the bad sentiment taking the SP into the 300's. Good luck with your investment
This company is country silver but if the price is right so be it,however £2.65 cash and some dollar paper shares doesn't do it for me.
It amazes me how we came to our current share price in the first place.Yes we have lost our monopoly in 2020 but any competitor(Iridium) will have to pay a high price for a share of isat's 40% of revenue.
With 5.8% hedgies on board be prepared for more choppy waters and manipulation,hold IMHO
I really hope we'll all be on board with him by the end of his run at buying the company as I've just made a decent sized buy in. Good luck all.
Say 650 to 750 . So 5.30 is way Off . There will be others coming in to play at these levels now
Doesn't need PI's on his side. He needs Institutions (Pension funds, Unit Trust fund managers etc) on his side who control the vast majority of shares in companies of this size. They make decisions with spreadsheets not their emotions. So in that sense upsetting a few private investors really wont come high on his agenda. He hasn't failed at all yet, at the moment he is very much in control whether the people on this board like it or not (and I am one who isn't a happy bunny today, but I am realistic!).
If he doesn’t get shareholders to like him or support him . And he has failed big time . This was not a clever move on his part
To him on principle and want to wait for a better offer from another party or organic growth. Organic growth looks good especially with RBC information being released
You might be right , but he’s even put my back up and that isn’t normally done in negotiations when I do business. It’s like buying a house . If you go too low , the owners don’t want to deal with you ever and someone else comes in and buys it for a reasonable price from under you etc . Not too shrewd a move for his first or should I say second step . He needed shareholders on his side
