I'm sorry guys, from experience you don't see a share on the verge of takeover fall like this.

Of course I may be wrong, but i'm following my rules. If it went up today back above 100 then I would have remained bullish. Buy in price for me will be sub 50 next week if possible, awaiting the next bid next year.

Boohoo is poised to return faster than thg/asos or another other e-commerce share on the lse, unless apollo comes a long of course. all my opinion of course.

Rns landing on tuesday explaining thg have already rejected multiple bids of 160 to 170, and awaiting a further bid from a apollo to match their expectations + have others circling. back up to 160 like last year for a few weeks..

Rns will land, 170p was offered, increased to 220p. then discussions and probably a month for thg to decide. probably rise and sit at 170 imo, ill probably sell and take my money into boohoo while it sits so low.

I was around 50/50 whether of a take-over would happen when the first rns hit, but after the apollo drafting in the 2 ceos just last week pushed me upto 80% and then seeing the SP tank and bounce back hard.

Then hold and rise into the weekend.. everyone who has traded for years knows if bloomberg had even an inch of knowledge this would have tanked on friday.

And why did bloomberg not add, it could be a partial takeover for example, the acquiring company may purchase a specific percentage of the target company's shares, which would result in partial ownership. This is often referred to as a minority stake or a strategic investment. MM keeps his share and the rest of the shareholders take 1.70.. I think it would get over the line

One more thing, notice how you type in thg on google and youll find lots of news of the drop on thursday of 20%.. what about the 20% spike on the sky news...

when news is leaked a share price will fall, and never rise into a long weekend. see you on tuesday for a modest rise back to the high of 118 imo

On april 17th we jumped 40% after news apollo had submitted a bid, imo the bid was privately rejected, but then we found out early last week they had drafted in some serious players in the industry (sky news) to help with the bid. that tells me the following:

1. 100% intend to submit a higher bid, else we would know by now if they had walked away, instead they drafted in people to help

2. the bid was accepted on the 17th, but have drafted in the ex CEOs of Coty and H&B to make sure they aren't over paying.

i found is hilarious the bloomberg journos thought they new more about takeovers than apollo themselves..

WOULDNT MEAN END OF PLAY*****

yesterdays fall would have only worried be if we fell today, the fact it fell and has bounced by 20% then held and pushed upwards into close today is very promising. its actually made me more confident! just thinking out loud here, but this fall back to 99p might increase the chance of a bid, now apollo can offer £1.50, a low offer but at the same time its a high premium. like i said, the first offer being rejected would mean end of play, wood group had 5 bids & counting.

apollo offered a premium of 60% for woodgroup last month, the offer hasn't be accept or declined, however this was the fifth offer and wood granted apollo access to due diligence materials and extended the deadline for a final offer by nearly a month, stretching the deadline from 19 April this week to 17 may.

I expected the first offer on tuesday of 1.50

Glad you are still here with **** patter creampie.

Imo what will happen is there will be a bit of £1.50 to £2 bid, it will be rejected, however the book won't be closed just like last year, allowing apollo to counter = share will rise to the bid. It will hold there until we find out if they increasing, which is where I will sell out.

Never fails to surprise me when people replying to shorters, thinking they are making them look like a mug, are actually just helping them push their influence on the board.

It is never wise to quote all the best bits from a shorters history as most people scan through posts, meaning you are helping him by reposting his ****.........

Shorters of recent in many UK shares are taking advantage of whats happening around the world Winny. Those who believed in THG probably shorted it too Winny - for example, if an investor owns a stock that they believe is overvalued due the war in ukraine, the pandemic, inflation etc, they may choose to short sell an equivalent number of shares to offset potential losses if the stock price falls.

Share price will return once inflation is back around 2% anyway, hopefully within the next year or 2.

A_game. 100% spot on.. we'd be the last know if the deal was off, but the fact the sp dropped to 81p and then bounced back and ended up finishing at 95p tells you all you need to know. the last time the deal fell through I can certainly tell you there was no such bounce backs, and it would certainly not hold and rise back up into close.

And those who bang on about the "scum" referring to shorters, I can guarantee 95% of this chat only got the shares (under 100) because of the shorters. So maybe some thanks to them is needed..???

Coming from the former shorter, who got in today thanks to my fellow shorters.

Those who held on today will be rewarded with a bounce-back tomorrow.
What Bloomberg shared was a mere opinion it seems, it was in the morning, meaning they probably had the article submitted the night before - by law, THG would have needed to release an RNS announcement as soon as possible after the decision, and always before the stock market opened for trading this morning. The fact that there still hasn't been an RNS saying Apollo have walked, tells me it was a tree-shake.

If one came tomorrow morning, an investigation by the regulatory authorities and potential penalties for MM and the company due to the fact it was held back.
