Well, someone has to say it.

This has happened to so many shares recently. Great results followed by a drop in share price. I don't pretend to understand it.

I haven't got mine yet.... still waiting on last weeks divdend.

Ah! That's dislodged it.

I wonder why my earlier post, from 9:30, hasn't been put up, while it shows in the chat tally????

If I know my luck, now that I've just sold out, I predict this will fly, (you can thank me later). I think the PMI move is a statement of intent to dissuade Carlyle from continuing. I might have gambled on them coming back, if their counter offer to PMI's 150, hadn't been the weedy 5p above. I wanted a display of more commitment, though I understand they don't want to offer more than they have to. Good luck from here for everyone else - I shall torture myself by still keeping up with events and SP, but I will try and convince myself I'm happy with profit.

Really interesting move, like watching a game of chess. Though as a share holder, it makes it more of a guessing game.

Halifax used to always be on the day, but lately several are delayed. Still nothing from the latest divided.

I wonder if there might be a chance that Carlyle will decide not to proceed, presuming PMI will just keep topping whatever they put up?

Up for auction. Hopefully it will end up as a bit of excitement and not a damp squib. Initial reaction to SP is positive.

It's okay, I found the answer.

Trying to understand the implications of today's RNS. Does it imply that the Carlyle deal will go through, or does it extend the timing so that the possibility for other offers to be submitted is available?

Not really a lack of enthusiasm. World Health Organisation have been struggling, first for entry and then with access and information within the country, with China frustrating their every move.

I've no idea what the logic is either! All my recent shares that have announced positive news, have followed this pattern of descending SP. People just quote, "Buy on rumour, sell on news." but that pointless mantra does nothing to explain the rationale behind it. I could at least understand, "Buy on good rumour, sell on bad news."

Fair points Lutonnews.

Thank you.

Good to see someone sticking to more conservative estimates, in the pennies. Having read a variety of posts going £1, £2, £5 - with no real support for those opinions, though I'd like to see it, I can't bring myself to believe it. If they're basing their speculated 'rocket' rise on a Covid medicine, neither Pfizer nor Astra-Zenica's share price went stratospheric after their vaccines were rolled out, so can they justify why would this? I understand the companies are not entirely comparable with SAR, but still, 7p to £5 sounds like a dream of a lottery win.

A good, positive expectation, but I struggle to understand why (in several companies), they have brighter prospects announced and yet share price goes down. I'm not concerned, as I view it long-term, but it makes no sense to me that a company states that it is doing well and people bail out exactly at that moment????

Any insight welcome.

Is that good or bad?

No. It's been slightly higher in the past, but it'll get there.

I've held for similar experience, but different outcome. The last take over I had was Codemaster. First offer was okay-ish, I held for three days while the SP sat at the offer price. Deciding there wasn't going to be any change, except possibly down, I sold. The very next day, another offer comes in and it shots up. (Just my usual luck!) I'm holding Vec as the SP now is around the offer anyway, so nothing lost if there isn't another offer. (Unless it's possible to submit a lower offer).
