Let's hope oFcom overturn it. Disgraceful! I wonder how many brown envelopes that took?
Reuters reporting that EU set to approve sky bid (unconfirmed) Reported on IG at 12:53
For Info European decision looks set for 7th April https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2017-03-24/fox-sky-deal-said-to-stay-with-eu-after-u-k-skips-deadline
I believe all investors whether short or long, should remain objective.
See you never answer a question.I will put it simply ,why are you always so negative about sky?
JR: You obviously don't know the difference in investing Long or Short. Both legitimate tools.
Why post what everybody knows? What is your problem with a great/large UK employer? This is not monopoly for adults ,i don't want my investment here ruined through some personal petty grievance.
ShareCast News) - Culture and media secretary Karen Bradley said she was "minded" to have Sky's proposed takeover by Rupert Murdoch's 21st Century Fox investigated over public interest concerns, after the European Commission was formally notified on Friday. In a statement Bradley said the government was "minded" to issue a European Intervention Notice "on the basis that I have concerns that there may be public interest considerations - as set out in the Enterprise Act 2002 - that are relevant to this proposed merger that warrant further investigation ".
You 2 should sell share trading requires nerve not fear.
Haha! Watch out Chicken Licken / Warren Buffett / pacemaker1000 is doing the rounds again in his attempt to foil the Sky bid! All hail the saviour of BT Plc!
It was always doomed to fail. I warned the 8% gamblers a few weeks ago.
http://seekingalpha.com/article/4048835-twenty-first-century-foxs-bid-sky-plc-doomed-bt-group-plc-offers-better-value Those lucky enough to get in at under £8 should take the windfall and bail!
Is it not linked with the presentation to the European regulatory body first? Around March time!
when is the cutoff date for the merger to be put to ofcom or not? I thought it had come and gone
FAKE NEWS! Sad!
Should change his username to weatherman as his predictions are about as good
Haha. Even a broken clock is right twice a day!
I thought Nostradamus was dead but you might as well give it ago.
Well if you read my posts you will see I predicted the fall to 7.50, which it will return to if the establishment refuse Rupert's latest foray.
I hope nobody pays any attention to your ramblings norrab1. Why do you spend every day obsessively telling everyone that Sky is doomed to fail whilst simultaneously extolling the virtues of BT as if they are some angelic organisation that is both serving the country selflessly and yet beautifully profitable.
I am not concerned, the SKY share price would have been adversely affected prior to the takeover news but its now mainly driven by Murdochs ability to get the deal done rather than how well the business is doing and as each day passes the probability of him failing reduces . I have a clear 2% profit after stamp duty etc so happy enough with the rise so far, its just somewhere better than the bank to park money for a few months.
