I'm awake! Been looking for news on the internet for rumours of a second offer but can't find a thing. Call me a cynic but as medilink is a large share holder was it a mere plot by them to get the share price back up. My fear is if no second offer is fourth coming then the share is going to do a massive u turn. They only have until the 20th which is monday so one would presume that it would come by Friday or the rumours will at least
Well they have until the 20th so I'm expecting share price movement next Wednesday on rumours with a bid or not coming in on the Friday. If the price starts to fall heavily next Wednesday then I would guess no offer is coming.
I believe they have until the 20th of this month. My opinion is that they will come back with another offer. If they don't then the share price will most likely drop and considering they hold a 30% stake that's not in their best interest.
I saw something similar on the news today as well. It must be me but i personally seem pretty sheltered from the recession as my partner and I are in the public sector and our jobs are very safe. I look at my own position and if we both lost our jobs I think we could survive for at least 6-8 months no probs, sale of cars etc. A lot of people who have lost jobs already wont be that lucky and will head for credit cards maybe loan sharks. This wont be a problem for them for at least another six months so this firm will be very busy for a while yet. Have a good bank hol.
only started having a dabble in shares a few months back, I should of just put all my money in here instead of aviva as i'd be much better off. whats your target price?
One of comments is exactly how I feel at the mo "My usual trick is to exit too quickly, grab a reasonable profit but miss the major sp gains and all the excitement that goes with the upward trend and then when I'm out I'm too scared to dive back in because the price will undoubtedly drop as soon as I click the buy button" I did this with barcs when I sold at 103p and they havn't stopped rising since. It all seems to be moving to fast and surely isnt sustainable. Only in for a few hundred quid but at least im in profit with them. The only problem with these shares are the size of the spread. It took me about a month before I broke even!
Wheres to 10/15/20% rises of last week gone. A penny a week would do me!
That was a welcome shock, cant believe that these have risen so much today. They normally seem to move on a couple of trades. Quite a few shares swapping hands today though. Wish i'd put a few more quid in now!
Only got 13500 shares so in no need of the cash anytime soon, worth a little punt. Never know we could be looking at this being a FTSE 100 company if were as doomed as everyone thinks we are :)
There is life out there, it was up about 14% this morning and then someone decide to sell. Only got a few pounds worth of these and with the spread ive mainly been looking at them in red. Now im up and lets hope it stays that way.
Having watched my shares go through the floor with aviva im convinced that no matter which way the dividend news went that the share would drop. i.e. pay the dividend and their throwing their capital away or dont pay it and they havn't got it and times must be hard. Wish you all luck tomorrow
Why the jump today? These havn't done much for ages!
I see you have been watching these for a while, I bought a few but it was on the high of a couple of weeks ago. Where do you see them going, you obviousley think their a bargin?
