Indeed @EV. Thanks for drawing my attention to the agency update. Although confident, I'm not as confident as you appear! The way I see it is that they are PLANNING for the deal to close this month, and that this month they are more confident than they were last month when they appeared to be planning for the deal to close, as this month evidence suggests that they have booked ships for the (4) slots. However, part of me questions the AGM date. Typically in business you don't know when a deal WILL complete by but you often know when it will NOT complete by. So IMHO the BoD are either extremely confident it will complete by the AGM (and I mean bar acts of God confident!), or they are in possession of information which suggests that it will not complete for some time, and therefore thought they'd get the AGM out of the way, for whatever reason - perhaps because they'd rather not see investors face to face?
Perhaps I should be more confident given how many shares I hold, but I don't see the point in hiding my concerns, especially since it's very unlikely (impossible?) that anything we say will effect the eventual outcome, and as I keep saying, I'm happy to continue to buy below the 29p options price which I have been doing this week and last, especially when, admittedly mostly circumstantial, evidence continues to build in our favour! ;-)
Ob.
