Opening pre market 271 ask should be filled later. The 9am move will be the one to close. Little point in selling at 254 as we know it is heading up. Around 270p will lighten - perhaps.

AV. blue and rising !

Mm kind - considering adding at this should be 266 /275 based on AV. SP not the 250s ?

Ready reckoner for me. The SP reaction of AV. will not have a great impact.

Av. 490p close equally DLG 275p

When original announced low was 450p = 263p for DLG

460 / 266

470 / 269

480 / 272

490 / 275

500 / 278

510 / 280

Lol true Mar 2025 but I did not hang around there. Travel was better than arriving with Spt. It often is.

Set a stop loss at the price you are happy with and trade if you want to.

No-one here can advise you what to do. If you have made a good profit we'll done.

Agreed rather than hostile & fair price, could see a rise in AV. after any dip.

No one knows the future. Your own call if you are happy with your return. Unsure still, if in doubt sell half come to mind. Not advice.

Direct Line shareholders would own approximately 12.5% of the issued and to be issued share capital of Aviva. The Direct Line Board believes that, in addition to the attractive headline value per share, the combination would provide the opportunity to deliver significant synergies, creating substantial additional value for both sets of shareholders.

Looks like the Qubers will be having a mare 🥳. Pity the guys increased the short on 4th Dec and 29th Nov. Ouch !

Good for both companies and may flush out other bidders.

Could be a nice short squeeze with the right rns .

Thanks for the BB post, reads well. All eyes on the 7am rns. May it lead to a bidding war and upwards move on AV. SP.

Receive the offer

Will wait to required the offer, but personally open to holding qaas I have been an AV. Shareholders since the Norwich Union flotation in 1997 back in the days of share certificates.

Never advice.

Market reaction tomorrow at open will indicate whether further bids are likely (presuming they are).

240p is close to 261p and with the SP of AV. and move up there will sweeten the DLG price so all to play for.

Having seen many a bid play out over the last 30 years take nothing for granted JO.

No DLG can give the same response and they do not have to engage at all. No obligation as little has changed.

Obviously I hope they do engage as otherwise we could be back down.

Near term 135p first but trimming on the rises leaving breadcrumbs to pick up again should that happen. No share goes one way but the momentum has been strong.
