Scully, yes, an awful lot of money appears to have been lost by a great many in FLYB, poor buggers. I am just absolutely astounded by the Boards complete disregard in their RNS's of the Shareholders. I did keep saying that STO had not declared they were bidding - it turns out they were - but in a partnership with Virgin as lead I guess? - however it's naughty that "said partnership" didn't reveal they were this in an RNS, especially as STO wanted a takeover previously, so this was surely a huge conflict of interest? I think a lot of people held on to the fact that "many" or at least 2 players were going to battle it out, so they bought shares...lots of shares. Everyone appears to have got outsmarted. With my fourteen or fifteen hundred loss, I am not going to join the groups, I'll just move along. However, I fully understand why people will pursue. I have dabbled for about 6 years on the Stock Market, and lost out a fair bit with some right "dead-certs" (AFREN, KILLRILLION as we called them in the trade), and now Flybe. I still go back to my view of FTSE firms, and the occasional flutter down in the pits. FARN is still my bugbear, lots of Family and Friends notifications back along, which dead-cert'ed great results, and then we drop from a quid to 50's. I am in at 1.24 I think, but only have 1.5k invested here I think from memory.
