3 sells about 17, 17 and 18 I left some to run chancing it ... watch a 7am rns come out. I also got a mortgage hike letter today so it brought home the reality of the rate rises quite quick tbh. I guess I'm saying I sold bit because of thg but my view of interest rates.

Yup I sold when I saw the inflation. Looking to see what happens and bank the profits. The rns could come anytime so I might regret this..

@Hexam Totally agree it reduces the called for anyone who takes up the ri. That is why I posted the original question 'buy before RI or buy after' and the pros and cons for each. For example if we know there will be a flood why not wait until then? If you buy after rhe flood you avoid all the damage.

100% agreed venture all sounds logical to me. Ticked up and yes accountants sure know the tricks.

They arnt wrong, it isn't worth the same to other people that's all. Like a night with your mum / sister.. guaranteed others will value rhay more than you would all you can do is buy at the level where you see value. Just so happens they bought at a higher value as did many.

it will be a private equity offer so someone will say "we want the whole company for £5".

Its the easiest to explain for you without getting into all of the different parties involved and the if this and if that scenarios.

Hope that helps.

Thanks Hexam for trying to refocus it. If you would be so kind to try a new thread and see if we can do it this time? I was hoping for a simple "bullet point pros and cons for and against pre RI / post RI and what factors would be involved that can influence things. :)

You have no idea how much I hate writing this.. but.. RosieNas is right they will be sold at a discount.

It is basic supply and demand guys. Anyone who can't afford to take them up "sells on the market" so there is a flood of supply and not the demand hence the drop RosieNas is talking about.

God I hate writing that lol

Oxford, not really sure what the issue is then tbh. You can buy your whole stake again for about £7000 and reduce the average to £2 which is far below the brokers and if you have 15 years it is practically a certainty imho.

Not at all suggesting you should average down just because a random on the internet says so but 38k at £4 I would see another 7k at this price a real bargain. Anyway I understand it is emotional to have held so long and see such a drop I get not wanting to risk more even with a takeover.

Start a new thread to argue a out a for or against please. Simply add quick before and after statements. I think it will help us keep constructive arguments.

OK so.. reasons to buy before vs after. Copy and paste below and add to it with your thoughts.

Before ------
Potential but not guaranteed ri at favourable prices.

Risking a complete wipe out.

Court not guaranteed soa

Vote not guaranteed

Court on is it OK to vote

Unknown fines

Will fca let us lend?

After --------
After the business has a secure future and zillions of shares available for pick up. Often a placing of "cheap" placing shares simply get sold onto the market causing a drop in the price.

Potential new business

Mando are you comparing us all to nuts? Lol

Oxford unless you don't have spare cash why doesn't it? You can average down a lot at these levels

THG PLC (LSE:THG) is attracting buyout interest from several private equity firms after its shares tumbled in recent months.

More at the following link! "Significantly undervalued " boom gents

Deserves its own thread. See below.

(Sharecast News) - THG shares surged on Friday afternoon following a report that private equity firms Advent International, Leonard Green Partners and Apollo were circling the e-commerce company.
According to markets blog Betaville, Advent is working with advisers from Goldman Sachs on its interest in THG alongside the company's founder, Matt Moulding.

It was understood that executives from Advent have visited THG's offices in Manchester in recent months. People following the situation told Betaville that dealmakers from Apollo were visiting the offices and one of the company's warehouses this week.

Advisers from Jefferies were said to be working for THG on fielding interest from the buyout firms. It was unclear on Friday whether the PE firms were working individually on the potential deal or as a consortium. The precise nature of the deal being discussed was also unclear, Betaville said.

There has been speculation about a takeover of THG since last year when founder Moulding suggested in an interview with GQ Magazine that he might be interested in quitting the stock market following the company's float.

Ioooiim !

Well said he's a disgusting individual happy throwing around racism and probably kicks cats. Same psycho mentality constantly posting on a share you have no interest and animal haters... interesting PhD study there.

I hope you do realise there is no basis whatsoever for that statement that shorts will close or it will rise. Well I hope you do anyway.

Really disappointed for you guys it didn't hold 1.30. Great to start slowly buying in a little each month though 90p and below.

Best of luck.

Just leaking my thoughts...

Well done reporting that racism guys. One thing being a troll but another insulting people nay nations like that.
