There won't be a 2nd bidder for this. It's only attractive by the way of TO if you look at mkt cap. It's a badly run comoany with massive losses and debt. A previous poster mentioned the bank doesn't do credit cards, yes they do and they do offer it to customers. I know as I was employed until recently.

I won't even touch base on the severe issues they had with financial Crime specifically sanctions (ofac). All kept hush hush. We didn't have offices to work from, one day a month we would go in and work from basements of a branches spread round london.

Sell at a price close to 2 and get the hell out of here.

Dreaming of 15 pounds in 2 3 years I'm afraid. The bank has fundamental issues at its core which won't be solved near term or more Importantly in a easy manner.

Late mega buy showing

3 million shares for £27K

L&G are not an amateur investor where they sell today and buy back two days later due to FOMO. Theres a reason they have grown to become a company with £50 billion in revenue per annum and don't follow your BUY BUY BUY strategy.

Happy weekend all!

Anyone care to elaborate for the newbies or make Why/About IRON thread it would be helpful.

I am going to buy a bottle of Tesco's Finest to celebrate that my wife didn't open my IG account to see how much some if my shares are in the red.

Those weekends are not like upcoming weekends.

If I had £ for everytime....

I'll be very happy this holds between 130p 140p next week. I think it will actually slide the markets being the way they are and this being MTRO.

Folks are way over blowing the Rns about a "POSSIBLE offer" and stupid valuations. Until we get more info by the way of an RnS what's been discussed.

Everybody BUY BUY BUY because Sadanby001 said so....

£1.80 would be a reasonable offer taking consideration the disastrous situation the books are in.

Anything between £2 and £3 calls for popping a bottle of Tesco's Finest!

Monday RnS announcing strategic investor? Its very very close anyway...

Why so little folks want to take part in a share that is significantly de-risked is beyond me. Also, markets globally haven't woken up to the commodity super cycle yet. Media has only covered lithium. Three of my lithium stocks takeover by the Chinese on the cheap IMO already this year.

It would be a dream if we can get £2+ for this zombie.

The buyer has the much stronger hand IMO. This is a poorly run business with massive debts and losses. They are going to squeeze us for everything we got. Time will tell.

If it consolidates at 150ish, I'll be happy. The keyword in the RnS in block capitals.

"Following the recent press speculation, Metro Bank confirms that it has received an APPROACH from funds affiliated with The Carlyle Group ("Carlyle") regarding a POSSIBLE offer to acquire the entire issued share capital of Metro Bank (the "Possible Offer").

Metro Bank has engaged with Carlyle in relation to its POSSIBLE Offer and a further announcement will BE MADE as and when appropriate. In the meantime, shareholders are advised to take no action."

Very early day folks....

Ahhh one can dream £2+ tomorrow :)

Never know, not impossible but very unlikely....

£1.58

Glen, Teck or Orion....

I'll take any of them for offtake or strategic.

I've never seen so many rainbow chasers in one board to date. Talking about £6+ and £10+. Comparing Metro To HSBC....

Be very happy if we get between £2 and £3 pounds.

Note - this is going to take many months to finalise...

Fingers crossed to £1.50+ tomorrow!

DANG! What happened here today, I was occupied with my MTRO shares today

Below placing prices only calls for a major top up.....if I had money.

64p avg :)

Lots of sales! Can't blame them, I understand, but I'll be holding my shares until we find out more.

Agree, markets are certainly not what they use to be even on positive news.

Every RnS needs to be extremely carefully worded, checked and checked again.
