Airline would be sold prior as Fosun can't buy that due to EU aviation rules regarding foreign ownership.

Its because they are shorting and want to try to create negativity. Good luck to them. Bonds are up 25% by the way.

Here's the legal jargon... "If shares carrying 10 per cent or more of the voting rights of any class included in an offer have been purchased for cash by a bidder or any person acting in concert with it during the offer period or within the previous 12 months, the bidder must offer cash for that class or a full cash alternative at not less than the highest price paid in that 12 month period.

Someone mentioned there were rules on bidding for a company where you are already a major shareholder. Something about the offer price being the highest of that paid by them over the prior 12m of share buying. Not sure exactly of that rule, but that's one hell of an upside...

20p wont hold today. People who hold have no interest in selling this low, and shorts will be trying their hardest to reduce/close today. Still think 30p close today

It wont increase the value of the share before. In a perfect market it would, but in reality as RMG is undervalued its not priced in. If anything it will cause the price to rise on the payment date as those who are paid it will mostly buy more Royal Mail shares, I know I certainly will be.

They say they have money to September 'if' they mange it well. They need to raise cash. None of that makes this remotely investable in my view. It's a pure punt if you buy it.

I am not saying they wont be discussing bids with the bidding partners in order to increase offers. What I'm saying is they are not allowed to provide that information to private investors. It's hardly professional to leak that we've had a 1.65bn bid from company x, but company y have bid 1.652... etc. They will not release any info before a deal is agreed. A company bids under confidential terms, as such legally they are not allowed to inform investors of that until a deal is agreed, and to expect them to provide that info mid process is foolish.

Why do people always assume the board will keep private investors informed of dealings mid process? It's the same with companies trying to win contracts. The amount of people who moan they aren't informed of every detail is remarkable. It's private and confidential details. You will find out about it when its agreed, no sooner, no later.

I've been doing the same. Holding core holding in the 20s, doubled up at 12p, added more at 15p. Then I trade the daily swings with my trading pot which over 2 weeks has made me an average of about £300 a day. Only one day where it didn't work to buy the dips, and that was the short dead cat bounce day earlier this week, but then I held that volume bought at 15p and even that's in profit now. Its pretty good to be sat on the uptrend, looking forward to significant future returns.

I couldn't get a deal done this morning, my platform wanted a 4% bid offer spread to buy when it dropped into the 15's, ridiculous.

There's a shorter called markbradsaeng or something like that. 3 times now hes posted when hes shorted, and every single time thomas cook has moved over 10% higher from that price in a matter of a couple hours. I've never known anyone get it so consistently wrong and for such large amounts. I'm actually starting to time my day trade long positions with his short statement as hes making me a killing.

Its no news. Like I said yesterday, it was a shorter who'd got some new shares to play with combined with the spreadbetting bandwagon muppets. Today we are back on the uptrend. Will be 20p by the end of the week

They are doom mongerers because they are shorting on spreadbets and are now concerned they got suckered into shorting yesterday and are losing money, in what is clearly an uptrend.

I actually love what they are doing moving into own brand high quality hotels. Its a good strategy. Also like their Chinese growth as that's where the future is. Could end up being one the major global players in top end holiday hotels around the world if they manage the transition successfully

I added yesterday, and added again today. For me I appreciate the opportunity yesterdays drop gave me to add more at a lower price.

Its a short increasing, combined with the usual shorters and spreadbetters jumping on the bandwagon. You can see that clearly enough from the usual serial shorters that pop up on the message boards of companies that have a down move on any given day. As clear as day. Create a bit of uncertainty, spread some doom and gloom, make their few quid then onto the next company tomorrow.

Why? Nothings happened. It's just a short that's got hold of some extra shares, dumping them onto the market. Will be back up tomorrow, albeit unlikely right to 18p straight away. Usual games.

If that were the case it would be insider trading and the major share dealers would go to prison, so no I do not agree with your hypothesis :)

Just have to look on the bright side. I've got some at a higher price, some at a lower price. These drops are a good opportunity to add more at decent levels. Got to take a long term view, and particularly with TCG you need to be able to brush off any crazy up or down moves as most of the time its just noise, no news. Not easy to do, but have to take an unemotional view and ask if its a good price to buy at etc.
