I think the only way would be that a Hedge Fund (OR SIMILAR) buyer appears who will have privately various pre expressed notices of interest for a variety parts of BP from different oil companies. Once the takeover is done BP will then be sold off in lots. Other than that no single buyer would take it all.

Has any date been given yet for the takeover of BAKK

Be interesting to see how they will handle on line sales , will they piggyback on likes mks or Next

What is BP investment in Iran

Thanks for correction

Colbee I agree with your sentiment, however, as i have posted in the past, the logic of doing script dividend (which i use) at the same time as a buy back is counter productive.

With BP getting more involved in China what are possibilities of Chinese buy out. It would probable have to be hostile. New meaning to Chinese Take Away

It is not clear if the 300 milliom cost of attack includes any cost of upgrading the IT system. This is a cost which would have been incurred over time antway

Another bad day, is there some hidden info not being released.. An update is overdue

Maybe I am showing ignorance , but IMHO the British Government has no say what s so ever in what the shareholders of BP decide. If the required majority accept the deal will be done. The Government can us its shares to vote as it likes, Oh that right the Government has no shares QED no vote.

Any continude decline in SP could cause shark attack.

Is any retailer in europe big enough to run a ruler over mks

In his interview with CNBC this morning Murray was asked was there any form of Golden Share. He answered with his mantra "we are a totally independent company"

Pre market is circa 2% higher

Big talking point on CNBC this morning, basic point was it is unrealistic to assume only 1 possible predator. BP ceo stated "we are a strong independent company" as if it was a mantra

If not presently under the microscope by a predator then it will never be taken over. IMHO

When Elliot declares 5% shares, can he hold options in excess of that 5%
