Wonga went into my account yesterday
Songs should be wonga
If I am correct we should receive our songs on Monday if you have said Yes to the offer
Does not seem to be any takeout likely so I have said yes and will reinvest 66% in safe and boring.

andy, you're not exposed to markets with a recommended cash offer. the opposite, in fact.
yep well done all, I have sold out want to reduce my exposure to the markets so this was a good bonus this morning
Well, despite my questions, I've sold out, too. I was trying a dummy sale for my holding and was offered 11.47p. I did wonder if it was worth the wait (and the uncertainty) for an extra 0.5p. No guarantee of a counter offer, so, like you, spindok, I thought 'don't look this gift horse in the mouth. You've made a decent profit'. (I was in at just under 7.2p ).
To oldabutnowisa and other LTHs - I wish you good luck and that you realise the full 12p (or more should an improved offer be made).
But I will stick around. Might still get a contest. The sale price is not over-generous, Well done all LTHs!

i think "relative pittance" is correct. sad to see it go. it's growing, profitable. surely more upside than 12p? competing bidder?
Seller out of the way and normal service resuming? I should think so, although it has given me the opportunity for a couple of sneaky top-ups at what appear to me to be stupidly low prices (I paid 6.145p and 6p respectively for the last couple of top-ups).
Hmmm - that's what I thought, oldabutnowisa.....and the sp drops.
This is one maddening share. At some point the market will have to wake up and re-rate or, as you say, the company will be taken out (for a relative pittance)
....Eiffel bought back its original holding. Cannot see this independent much longer.

Thanks spindok. My gut is telling me that this SP is for the assets with nuppence for the fact this is just starting to become profitable i.e the goodwill. I reckon its red rag in a very small market of big competitors; so there is a reasonable chance of a higher counter quite soon. It did make my mind up to take some more Glaxo today!!!
I have learnt the hard way in being loyal. I always now take the profit on deals as they have a habit of turning sour...Still good luck. You too showed a bit of courage when the price fell..
Last post: LordofBurnley, 2 Nov 2020 09:29
Fair enough, spindok.
Wonder what others think of a potential counter offer and/or the chances of this offer failing, along with timescales for this thing to work through if this offer goes ahead?
Gift horse .. under present climate I have taken the money and run... Always pays to re read and consider an rns even if the price falls..
Dont usually like Mondays... I doubled my holdingbhere on the interims when it dropped..gl all holders..

Congrats all! 12p cash well done. I was in here and HZD but sold for other opportunities. Nonetheless I am really pleased for holders. PI’s need all the breaks they can get!

I'll take that thank you very much

This SP is barely better than they were before Covid and that has turned them to profit. 'No brainer' at this price or less and, as everyone knows, that applies to me! Will not stay independent longer .

Strange reaction the interims. I thought they were very good. The seller took the opportunity to lower their holding and made the situation difficult to interpret. Having waited I consider the time right to add...

If these fall back more I'll be tempted to go in again. Should be about 24p by my reckoning. Prime bid material at this level, I agree, but in this market impossible to predict!

Yes, the sale was only a small % of Eiffel's total holding, from 10.11% down to 9.74% so less than one million shares but that's still a lot for Lidco and price has actually held up well imho. I've been a holder since about 2002/2003, and waiting for the buy out :)
Looks like we've had a seller reducing their exposure (according to the last RNS). Hopefully they're out of the way now and this can get moving forward.
Been here a while myself and in at an average of 7.8p but still having the occasional top-up as and when funds come free (last top-up last week).
4P - it may need the next RNS , America rebuying for general ops and covid, Brazil approval translating into sales, there is no seller just a lack of market pick up - as you say at some not too distant point it will move (upwards) and then the bags will show.
The Saas part of their sales is great providing stable future incomes to grow the business, all as per the last RNS.
One that I am holding and not running away from, happy to have bought in on the back of the last RNS... imo has at least one bag in it , maybe a lot more depending upon the level of news.
One of those that goes the next day? Seen it plenty of times before.
Dont know why it went down but I followed it all the way ... great rns revealing profits and growing contracts...

I'd expect the wider market and Directors will be buying this in due course, one to accumulate at same time as the II's are.

Excellent results on top of no debt. It’ll go
Very good results, making profit?
What must a company do more.
I can't understand why the price is dropping when the results were very good.
I have just doubled my holding. IMHO this will be up 15% by the end of the day.
Why the shares dropping, makes no sense?
Any pointers!
stonkingly good

Think many expect the interims to be very good. Not sure they are coining it but I am holding for news tomorrow.
interims due 13th...be interesting to see if they have been coining it in!
this outfit can't coin it in a time like this in the sector they are in, they might as well throw in the towel.

Indeed, the price hit a high of 9.75p on the 24th Aug trading update, 40% upside from current levels just to get back there...
I am quite optimistic. Their results should prove very solid..

There is a long and interesting post by a learned Professor which seems to point to a huge thumbs up for the Lidco technology.

Still cannot understand the lack of interest here. Maybe its because we are just so small as to be seen to be irrelevant but if we have the knowledge and the products. cam always be scaled up.

...to excellent figures. If you look at their website, you will appreciate that the bigger killer - sepsis, is their main target, Their machine can monitor the level of uptake of oxygen into the bloodstream. If (God forbid) you get sepsis and are intensive care, that is crucial to your survival. Covid19 has boosted LID for now and hopefully added significantly to their reach, but what they - and all of us - hope is that every major hospital gets these so that less of us will die from sepsis.

Buys go negotiated on HBOS. Think they are short of stock. I was going to add but will watch now for a while and let the thing settle..
Last post: oldabutnowisa, 24 Aug 2020 11:31
Don't worry Hamodeh82. LID is a pretty small cog in a large wheel. I don't expect it to be without at least one bid very long.
All of sudden? Must be big seller
Excellent update.... Nice when a plan works..
