Don't see why this news was worthy of being among the top BBC news headlines. Heavily biased coverage. BBC clearly have an agenda against Centrica.Other providers will follow but will barely get a mention by BBC.

For what it's worth I have told Cobus verbally a few months ago that shareholders absolutely do not want another placing.

Huge discount to that here.

Perhaps the manipulating shorter barstewards are having a day off in Margate today...

Private hospitals operator Spire Healthcare may face a fresh takeover attempt from its largest shareholder, sources said.

FTSE 100 group Mediclinic, which already owns nearly 30 per cent of Spire, had a £1.2 billion cash and shares offer rebuffed in November.

The six-month window restricting it from making another bid under UK takeover rules has now ended, freeing the South Africa-based company to try again.

While Mediclinic boss Danie Meintjes said there was ‘no active consideration’ of making a bid, City sources said Spire, currently valued at around £1 billion, and its advisers were on alert after speculation of a bid intensified in recent days.

A source said a renewed push was ‘just a question of when’.

Poor close at the lows of the day.

Dark forces are keeping this down and well below the JSE equivalent (7.77p today)

Lots of buys gone through at 7.7p

Of gem allowing utilities to charge more for prepayment tariffs.

Let us see if we can match the SA price of 8p today - bid not ask.

Do you have some contacts there ragnar? Can not see any new news on PAF since the IG interview. Am I right in thinking Cobus in consenting to give the interview now must be confident of a recovery in the SP and meeting targets?

Sorry at current exchange rates our price should be 8p. So nearly a whole pence difference. Insane.

Sudden spike in SA mid afternoon. Here the madness continues. Some trades going through above 8p others around 7p. Close 7.2p even though SA equivalent is 7.6p I note by comparison SLP is a very steady share even though fundamentals are far greater here IMO. WTF is going on here? FCA and LSE have messed up big time.

Solid fundamentals.

5 year RSI just 16
Wow.

If that isn't oversold what is?

Reduced rent and store closures approved for House of Fraser. Some of these shoppers should move across to Debenhams. Reduced rents and business rates are much needed and overdue.

Market hates bad news though. RSI may be very low at 14 but I see this drifting/remaining flat for several months. No good news on the horizon. Only solace could be another bid.

They are also trading at multi year lows - may well return with an offer....why did Spire reject the 315p? Happens all the time. Greedy boards.

Two 200K sells again today. Not good and no idea why they are selling at 7p!!!

It is also not their 'main asset'. I believe it is just 6 shops including the main one in Copenhagen Town centre In previous years this part of the business was producing only 25-30% of the group profits.

They bought Magasin Du Nord for just £12M. In ten years they are now in talks to sell it for nearly 20x the amount. Yes almost a £240M profit. No guarantee they would get that much in a year's time. Of course it makes sense - if they get that much. Far better than doing a rights issue and diluting shareholders still further! Remember the main reason shorts are on this is due to the debt.
