Wonder if I should we can to 2300p on a good earnings season in US starting in 10days time... 2000p... We may hear more about the possible split in next H1 earnings..

Firstly, I'm an investor in DGE, and have been for 3.5years. Could we ever see a DGE & SAB merger taken seriously, or is that just gossip..?

I have just read an article about the real possibility of splitting BHP from Biliton to give better rise to growth prospects since merger in 2001. http://m.europe.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304157204579475192557876688?mobile=y

I came across an article regarding the purchase and stajkes in both Sky Deutschland & Sky Italia that Murdoch is possibly considering. This article was in the FT paper.May 13, 2014. '...BSY { 39% ownerd by Century Fox) is in talks to buy Fox's stake inn Sky Deutschland ( 55% ) & Sky Italia ( 100% ). This has the feel of a Murdoch master plan ( like what Vodafone are doing ). He may want to unify the € TV companies within BSY, then bid for the rest of BSY itself. He last tried this 3yrs ago. BSY shareholders should weigh up the deal in more practical terms. They would get a German business with solid top line growth. Profits are modest, earningsbefore interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation were €85m in 2013. But pay-TV penetration in germany running at 19%and there is scope for more customers. They would also get a sluggish Italian business. Ebitda was €300m in 2013, against €500m in 2009. Yes, there would be scope for synergies - Credit Suisse thinks £300m in 3yrs. BSY could give both businesses a shot in the arm... Set against that is the huge difference the deal would make to BSY financial structure. Now, net debt is under 1 times ebitda. Assume the whole of SKY Deuctschlandis bought at current value €6.3bn & Sky Italia €3.7bn [ using BSY's own multiple ]. If both are cash deals, th combined company would have a net debt 4.6times, unless fresh equity is raised [ big possibility i say ]. This is a a radical and not neccessarily welcome change.

HI, i read in an old Investors Chronicle (Dec'13), that broker Numis Securities predicts FY EPS of 51.9p with pre-tax profits of £1.26bn this yr. That would then give a lower PE future valuation of 20, to current 40.

Boring shares are usually these ones that outperform the FTSE when the market is very volatile. We now have that speculation of a merger or buyout returning to IMT. Think it was back in 2011 when Japan Tobacco was rumoured to be looking, now we hear it could be BATS or Reynolds. The only think I have in my mind, this is not an ethical stock, as my dad has just been diagnosed with Lung & Bowel cancer. The sad part, he has never been a smoker, just worked in the shipyards 47yrs ago as a carpentar. All the best whoe continue to hold IMT...

All the best and 1300p was the #bounce.. My SUMMIT has gained over 9% having gone south for a share raising for there new drug which is doing well.

Post your stuff on the right page... like SAV's

Just been reading the Times today, and BOFA are commenting that Iron Ore prices & supply are overdone, and need to.cool of due to Iron Mills having oversupply. Here is link to some basic dividend data: http://www.riotinto.com/investors/financial-calendar-89.aspx & Morningstsr.co.UK has good analytical data... http://tools.morningstar.co.uk/uk/stockreport/default.aspx?SecurityToken=0P00007OTS]3]0]E0WWE$$ALL

Guliver at HSBC is preparing to announce bumper profits. STAN, I'm no idea. Think they might not be as good, as HSBC is a global bank... I have holdings with HSBC, STAN and the US bank Goldman Sachs.

Hi Gerry, Iv watched this since October'13. I always had suspicions on stocks with dividends of 7%+ There is another one, which has held up pretty well call Hansard Investments(HSD), for offshore investments in Guernsey... It's doc is 9%+

JPM has a 4600p target on RIO... How can we see that with QE issues in US...? With The FEDS on course to reduce all QE by year end, I wonder if we will be back down at 2500p area by Jan '15...?

The police use RSA in Scotland.

Hey, You seem to have a ego problem, someone who thinks they know everything. P.s. I bought SUMMIT CO nearly 2years ago when 6.45p, then sold at 15.2p, I have just rebrought at 11.14p. I sought Oxford Biomedica at 2.88p a year ago, then topped up at 1.85p, its now at 3.35p having hit 3.7p, I sold at 3.55p. I hold many miners, and invest in DOWJ & FTSE chips... so zip it mate. I have stocks that haven't touched there lows seen in 2009!

Hey Mr Maltman, saying you think youv seen support at 1300p, is a tad #SHORTSIGHTED... We have market jitters in EM from.currency fluctuations. what's going to transpired by the end of the year when the FEDS are due to end WE? I'd say, its great news, but EM ain't going to like it, and ADD might just be lower to tune of 1150p... time will tell... unless your trading this stock, which I'm not, then don't print silly comments during economic unrest... coz its stupid
