Obviously we small pi's don't know what's going on behind closed doors. So whatever we say has to be counterbalanced by that. However the key seems to why HIG is buying. I can't see or imagine what HIG adding to DX and specifically improving on existent formidable DX's plans on growth and expansion and managing skills. It seems their buying is purely speculative. If that is the case a competitor is likely to emerge
you can place yourself in Gatemore & Lloyd's camp but you're not in the same league as them... Try to calculate how much they are getting out of this - compared to you - and me. From my point of view DX promised much more than this offer - and it won't be easy to find a similar alternative
Well Ports - there are a lot of things going on we have no access to - like the preliminaries to this offer testify... How do we know what exactly prompted HIC to make the offer right now?... It might well be because of preventing somebody's else move... I feel strongly it could not have been only HIC loitering with intent, surely what HIC has seen in DX has been widely seen by others - so likely more surprises are coming - good ones for us.
JFFF "However, it does, of course, provide certainty in a very uncertain market. "'.... safety, security, certainty - are paramount.... If coupled with a divi it's a good deal for me
I have always known that I would be entitled to dividend if I sell on the ex-div date.... But Kenmare says you have to hold shares until close of the Record Date.... HL says ::: " To qualify for the most recently declared dividend, you must have bought the stock before the ex-dividend date and still have held it at market open on the ex-dividend date."... Which does not include/imply the Record date. ... So why this difference?... What's you view on this?
Big Blue deserves a lot of thanks and credit for bringing to attention vital information... I never liked the choice of the Kazakh exchange... It seems to me the only ones who will benefit will those who can be be very fast at getting out of Poly in a terminal situation, the IIs and the very VERY big investors using their international connections.
