Oakwellfan I also said yes and the shares are not shown in my Halifax account I also didn’t get the dividend but if the vote goes to except DK offer you will get 360 a share plus 10 in dividend payments 1 dividend will be for 2p which has already been paid out and the other for 8p so you will get the dividend payment then

Cause you did

Yes I was having the same thoughts as you Brendyboy might even be a few backhanders thrown somewhere.Look at DK bid 3.40 board rejects it immediately comeback with 3.70 and it gets excepted he offered roughly 8% more then the original offer and the board recommended the shareholders except it . I’ve played the stock market since 1997 and if I’ve learnt one thing it is corrupt

Shrewsbury your holding will be kept by Halifax if the vote goes DK way your account will have the money put in to the value of your shares ie if you have 1000 shares you will have 3700 pounds put in you account. If the offer is rejected your shares will be put back in your account

Ponty you excepted the offer yet you think it is way to low very strange way to play the stock market

Red if DK bid is rejected then the shares will be put back into your ISA account

Just had my IDS shares took out of my portfolio I had 20;000 pounds worth I accepted DK bid of 370 but only paid 255 so I’m happy with the offer good luck to everyone on here whatever you decide to do

Simx. Yes that was part of labour manifesto to build 1.5 million homes we all knew labour were going to get elected that’s why I bought shares in persimmon 3 weeks ago IMO house builders like persimmon will be a good long term investment

ABM what’s the CWU got to do with it it’s what the shareholders want that counts To my knowledge the CWU won’t be voting to accept or reject DK just the shareholders holder will have that right

Your not being ignorant phunt but a former poster on here might disagree with me the chances of it getting to 365 before the takeover are very slim IMO it won’t go above 360 before this is signed sealed and delivered and if he doesn’t go through I would say it will go between 250 - 275

Smokingdragon no you can’t hold your shares if the vote is in favour of DK offer if you have a share dealing account the shares will be removed from your account and the money for your shares will go in your account

Littledickybird it still has to be put to the shareholders for a vote and if the vote rejects the offer the chances are this will drop like a stone. I’m in at 255 just sold 50% of my holding at 330 if the deal goes through at 370 then ive sold my stake at 350 which I’m happy with

Abjectperformer you won’t get 380 it is 360 and 10p dividend 370 is the offer and that is what you will get

PP read hound dog post earlier on in the evening

Roland rat thanks for your reply .Redceo your asked for some suggestions to invest in I have shares in daretrace the ticker is dark the board have accepted an offer of 620 a share the price is now 610 because the offer was made in dollars and the pound has gained on the dollar since the bid was made on the 26/4 the share price at the minute is 586 I would say there is a very good chance this will go through if not this company will be worth more then 610 in the future please DYOR

The thing that makes me laugh about the USO is we only have to deliver parcels 5 days a week and letters 6 days a week but when I worked at RM if someone phoned in sick on the Saturday and the round wasn’t covered the manager would share the parcels out amongst the rest of the staff and leave the letters in the frame. Weather that still happens I don’t know but it just goes to show the management are not bothered about the USO

Oli if you look at yesterday posts TMS have all gone so I presume that means he is barred

LH23 you will receive it today at some point I’ve got a Halifax share dealing account and I normally get mine later on in the afternoon

TMS you could be right about the takeover situation with the GE being July 4th and Labour looking very likely to be the next government I wonder how that will effect DK takeover I know you have always said it has pretty much been approved by the government . But in all likelihood we will have another government before DK offer can be put to a vote by the shareholders and that government might have a different view then this government on DK bid.

Very strange to not have the results by now I’ve got shares in avivia and the quarterly results are already out I’m sure their know the results so why not let the markets know when I worked at RM when we got to work at 6 o’clock by 8 o’clock the manager would print the results out and lay them on the frame you were working on .
