FTSE up 77 Dow 90 or 150 not sure but up defo so could be a rise tomorrow in general with out results that are expected to be good. I am out now came out at 46 with slight loss but now looking to get back in if again if the sp levels and does not drop tomorrow below bench mark. But GL to all in. :-)
Is that now BPTY? Well things are getting exciting now. lol.
Maxwell2 so they are keeping it down the mm? 13 alerts so far today so is that usually a sign? all buys now small amounts though probably just topping up at these levels. :-)
Another buy JP MORGAN! :-)
Had 7 alerts this morning so far!
Yes they have been coming through in to my inbox alerts from SBT. Looking good. :-))
Thanks for your bazzing posts Yes it would be good to get other thoughts. No need apology at all. Glad you are posting. :-)
I think it will fall regardless of what may be coming here, it is not exempt from the fear factor like every share across the board today and last few wks it has intensified due to the US and Euro woahs. News is needed and due Wed no news always causes doubt and selling in this climate they have a date they need to do the deal by and so time is still on our side and no news has been added to doubt at this stage. So posting neg here is of no use because people that want to sell will do so anyway. So I remain posting a buy because this is a worthwhile investment wether T/O or not and if you bought at 40p you are in a good postion eitherway.
Morning the markets today going from bad to worse, this is the problem of the sp the news if so conflicting regards of the Euro debt no one knows from one min to the next what is going to happen. Massive fear! Investers sell off understandably we need some stablity for sp rise. But tomorrow good news if so will send us back up 2-3 So I agree markets causing this not broker note from you are disgussing. So it seems to be leveling at this price at the moment lets hope some news soon with SBT. Holding and confident of the takeover.:-)
How do they know what is going on at sportingbet do they have the information that says they can not do the dea? Is this first hand information?If f not it is hear say? Well I guess we will see waht the markets say tomorrow. But you do get blips to be sorted out in any deal dont you? Surely they know what they are all doing!
Once more my thanks for your post I am a lot clearer now! One more question after the acceptance of the takeover price how long does it usually take to get the full value?
I agree with all you say and you are good on the tecs I am not. I am just not bad on my hunches.lol! I bought in at 46.24 testerday after selling the ones I bought at 50.50 for 50.75pm when stated to drop. I have some from previous 46.25 and got some more yesterday I was waiting like a cat ready to pouch! So just sitting tight now. do you think will go any lower than 46? Maybe until news unless good news over the wk end for the bailout. So maxwell what happens next now if they agree on a price do they contact share holders to see if they agree? How does it work from start to finish if you want to recieve money not shares in LAD? if you dont mind posting this info I have never been in a takeover before. Thanks Angie. :-))
Thanks for your posts very informative and feasable roll on wedensday for some news hopefully. :-))
I thought it ment that just was not sure. Thks Maxwell. :-) So lets hope it is right on the 6th then. :-))
Why do they press price down in advance is it not just the market sell off going on at the moment? Thanks? :-)
From research I have posted to day the overview on it is looking good in imo! GL all just need the Europe woahs to be sorted out now, it is a question of holding tight untill the markets feel more confident which will eventually come after much trail and error on the part of the powers that be! :-)
Mr Glynn, formerly chairman of Sporting Index, the spread betting group, is about to step further into the spotlight. Ladbrokes, which reports half-year results on Thursday, has made an approach for Sportingbet , the online gambling operator, and the Ladbrokes chief executive is under pressure to deliver. Earlier this year, talks between Ladbrokes and another operator, 888 Holdings, broke down after a four-month dispute over price. Another drawn-out and fruitless process is the last thing Mr Glynn needs. He remains cautious. “Only if we believe it delivers shareholder value will we move forward with an inorganic strategy,†he says. “But as with 888, we will not overpay. I don’t think people thought we would walk away on 888. We will focus on doing this in the right time frame. We will not risk shareholder value. What the market will care about is delivery.†With Ladbrokes lagging behind rival William Hill, particularly in online profitability, he is also under pressure to show that he can turnround the old, conservative-minded business into something more vibrant. “We could have been more aggressive in geographic expansion,†Mr Glynn says of the business he joined in April 2010. Ladbrokes’ shares are below the 150p mark, up only 6.3 per cent over the past 12 months. In contrast, William Hill is at 231p, a 35 per cent rise over the period. Analysts are predicting Ladbrokes will announce at its interims a fall in pre-tax profit of around 10 per cent.

Just found this on the GVC ii bb. i spoke to the companies broker to day, he said that due to reports of transaction leaked to the press the shares had to be delisted, discussions still on going, although no quarantee he was hopeful of an agreement being reached with the Turkish part of Sporting bet and of course SP HQ. Broker estimated that shares relisted or new listing within one month. He also felt if agreement concluded good news for co and share price. Anone anything to add on this? :-)
