Thanks for the reply guys, I wasn't sure if they'd sting me the 11.95 trading fee i currently pay per deal or not. I think my initial maths came up at about £25 difference if i sold now or held to the divi and took the deal. £2.21 would probably push me, i was fortunate to get in really low on these, so i'm +60% at this point in time. Another bidder is not something i had considered, as i think it very unlikely, although, as you said, it's a low price to pay with no shares in steinhoff to sweeten the deal, so you never know, but yeah, board confidence is not high as they are happy to take that deal. and yeah, 2p divi is small, i figured this next one would be as the costs of incorporating the 99p stores would come from the divi, and then perhaps the one after would show a nice increase

in this deal, we get 2.20 cash per share on deal completion, and the other 2p is presumably the dividend that was originally scheduled with an ex date of 15/09/2016. Taking this deal into account, at what point can i sell, and still pick up the dividend? I also assume that, on the deal going through I wont get hit trading fees, like if i sold the shares now? I'm trying to work out if it's worth just selling them now, and releasing my equity, rather than holding waiting for the deal to complete.... i only have a small 890 share holding here

steady rise to 4.70+ and little interest shown here, i'm surprised there isn't some chat, given their fairly solid track record

That pretty much is the exact same thought that is going through my mind right now too. I was originally going to try and get in on the IPO, and to then see the whole allocation go to private/institution investment was annoying, because as it turned out, that opening price was good, and it rose nicely to £2+ at which point they creamed off the profit, and since then, as you said, it seems very over priced. I had an eye on it, and had sort of decided that should it fall back to 160(ish) area then it would be at that point i would consider a dabble. As for where it should realistically be sitting at, hard to work out, i would not be surprised to see it sit stably at it's current price point, however, i could also see it rising back to 190+ as the company does seem to be liked by the market dividends have have no idea about !!

That wouldn't surprise me, short it to crash it before your masters buy a stake in it.... and they claim that's a legitimate business !! lol

..... probably not enough to act a a buffer come tomorrows vote, personally, i think the markets are going to freak one way or the other, so screw it, i hope we vote out, lets face it, they're not exactly going to say no if we decide in 6 months we want back in !! biggest problem i see is our slimy chancellor has the power to really screw us and cause all the apocalyptic crap they've been spouting about, all on his own I'd just like to break even on this one and then gtfo before we hit another round of the banks pleading poverty and the share prices fall through the floor, bet those 2 million lloyds shares are hanging heavy around the governments neck, we should never have bailed them out

.... me and my big mouth lol i'm guessing a lot of anxiety about tomorrows vote

already, that's a bit of a drop, hopefully it'll balance out by the end of the day, not withstanding the £3 deal, some bigger volume trades this morning seem to be moving the price considerably, hopefully that'll be in the up direction too 1

yeah, we'll see, i dont have the funds right now, so it may be out of my hands, although i do have a feeling i might have missed the lower price range

I was waiting for it to drop back a little more before buying in, right before the news of the received payment bumped the price, still watching and waiting with this one, if it does drop back again, i think i'll be tempted

Lol, i was more thinking outloud than expecting an answer, as for calling the bottom on things, yeah i'm not good at that, and not likely to improve that much, hence my tendency to err on the side of caution, although the TED shares i have have taught me to avoid higher value shares if i'm not investing much, large gains needed to see a return, and as you said, when they do drop further, if i don't have the funds to buy more in a dip, i'm screwed ! this one i'm fairly happy with my position, so now i'll sit back and see what happens, probably wont top up again unless something drastic changes, i expect it to rollercoaster a bit, as the WSG price did..... i nearly caught the bottom on that one, i had a buy order set at just over .45 which would have averaged me down nicely, but it bottomed somewhere around .47 ...... close but no cigar, but again i'm healthy there i think on a .82 avg

I figured it would be something like that, given all the "rules" and "regulations" there does seem to be an inbuilt backdoor for the larger players to basically operate entirely on insider info, whilst calling it something else, too many grey areas by the sounds of it, sales and buys are supposed to affect the market price, by allowing this kind of manipulation it does, as you eluded to, benefit only the rich large companies/brokers. As for who's dumping, i have no idea, i hope jeffry is right, and a bounce is imminent, because my purchase today pushed me over a million shares, and averaged me down to .26 .......so a bounce would be nice :P only problem i have then, is like the WSG rollercoaster, at what point do i step off the merrigo-round and wait for it to drop back, or do as i did there and just hold

Bonker.... how do they hide the trade like that, or delay it's declaration until after trading deadline for the day ?? (pls excuse the nativity of the question, i'm kinda new to all this)

@davey2..... can't read that without a subscription :(

they already have 23% i think

I decided to hold onto these for a little while, to see how they go, i don't have much tied up with them, so i can afford to wait and see. So far has been a fairly steady ride, and nicely over flotation price, so i'm in the blue :) Have to admit, i am interested to see how the dividend pans out for these, they sort of remind me of the way merlin stock rose steadily, to a nice point over original float price, although a slightly better dividend percentage would be nice, but, will have to wait and see

I see four 265,805 buys in the listings, one right after another.... same organisation ? and if so, why not just one big buy ??

been some good blue days on this one since their trading update for the 19 week period from 31 January 2016 to 11 June 2016. Getting very close to the point now where i need to consider selling and taking a small profit to free up capital

looks like i slipped in there with a good purchase price, that 661,691 volume purchase was mine @ 0.24

yeah, my portfolio is all Topsy Turvy today, could do with this going blue again tomorrow, so i can release some funds for other things which are down at the point i want to buy in, i've got a limit sell in place, but we're not likely to hit that any time soon !
