Note the word 'possible' - 'Now enter rumour painted all with tongues'. Not promised an update till mid 2018 (June).

Thank you, Confucius. I see you don't do irony :) I asked Frankie a direct question about his PF. His evasions have told me he doesn,t have one, a strategy known as 'putting all your eggs in one basket'.

May I ask what % of your PF is ACA (75k at 280p) - Mine is now about 1.4% after taking some losses. Half my PF is in TSCO. I ask because it will tell us how rational an Investor you are.

In addition to the sell rating, Berenberg issued Acacia with a 140p target price, saying the stock sits in the upper end of its 31p-167p valuation range, which implies 80% downside and only 20% upside from current levels. "A case of asymmetric risk needs to be skewed to the upside when considering trades with this level of uncertainty." This is a realistic price range, IMO, as BOD's free options vesting price is 148p, over a 5 yr period. A UK company in trouble in recent years, went bust after turning down not 1, but 3 suiters, who offered serious money to take them over.

Possesion is 9/10ths of the Law 22 Feb '18 Tanzania have seized the 3 mines in TZ & the output. Negotiating starting point would have to acknowledge TZ have acted illegally & contrary to international Law. I expect this when Hell Freezes. - This is what I actually posted - see the difference? We are in the age of Newsspeak, when NO RNS statement means 'All Positive' - It DOES NOT.

For letting us know the Good Feelings in your water & 'soon/not so faraway/yes/definitely/perhaps' vibes. Us old guys would prefer an RNS - but in it's absence, 'too complex for mere shareholders to understand' guess talking ACA up is the next best thing - Some cynics might say 'warm words butter no parsnips'.

I would dispute that Lidl are that savvy as a LAD. Each week, at some cost, they produce a Magazine in its 1,000s per store, telling you what the next WE bargains are - 'up to 50% off'. What's wrong with that? Well, why buy items NOW if you can get them up to half price next week?? If you miss them next WE, the stock range is so limited, the EXACT same offers will be repeated in a few weeks time :)

sorry meant for TSCO bb.

You are talkingbollux again BOD already changed, months ago. ACA a ringfenced company to parent.

Yup - hang yourself & equalize down - this is NOT a falling knife! Don't let the trend be your friend!! In a dream the Pope revealed the bottom SP of this stock to me & when it has fallen far enough on an absence of news, I well reveal all...

SP may bounce back if Supercharger & DaddyBigBucks stop posting 'Strong Buy' - kiss of death on most days :)

Down 75% on 1,500 pound stake, 3rd minor to become worthless - desperate attempts at fake news with no specific bearing on ACA. If SP drops to 1p Barrick will still own 63% & be calling the shots. Talk it up guys! Elvis is returning on a flying saucer to mediate for us with TZ :)

Tesco/Booker have plenty of separate store chains already, Tesco: One Stop, Booker: Premier, Family Shopper, Budgens, Londis.

No mate, I topped up LTH PNN.

AAS: I was brave with Tesco because I have held the stock longer than any other in my PF & believe I understand it better than my other stocks. I said at the time IMO it was like Cocoa-Cola when Pop bought in just as a new broom swept in. I am happy with my increased holding. I do not urge 'Strong Sell' or use the rear view mirror to suggest better choices. You are not invested here, so what's your problem - are you scared I might convert you? Like Pop says pick 8 choices for Life, not a hand of cards you endlessly change in search of a quick buck.

Reality is 2 complimentary businesses run by the best 2 brains in retail/wholesale. With 500 or more Booker stores within 500/1000 yards of a Tesco. What's not to like? That's only the most obvious synergy of many opportunities. Distress?? About what??? Delighted at merger, INCREASED my holding by a huge factor since Dave took over.

If you had been a Booker shareholder the probability is that you were among the 84% who voted 'Yes' to the merger. What is your Problem? Would you like another Vote?? It is unlikely Tesco would face further claims - they have already paid Compo to LTH like me. Wise Investor my ass - wrong at every stage of this merger - did you vote Remain too??? Get a Life! BTW - Are you too stupid to know what ALL AT SEA MEANS????

In 2017 the Company revised its Remuneration Policy and made related amendments to the rules of its Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) in order to increase the vesting and performance period to five years (from three years). Good News for all you LTH out there :) Of course, there is no dividend & ACA may prefer to let the SP sink before a miraculous turnaround, some years hence allows the BOD to vest their options which would appear to cost them nothing, from a low base of 146p SP.

Buffett PERSONAL worth $88.7 billion - world's 3rd richest man. Presume you don't mean Berkley, the company he runs. One thing that distinguishes him from ordinary PI is his ability to sell and take a loss.
