Totally agree, this is getting pathetic, how long can negotiations take! it is what it is.

If I had funds i would definitely get in BWIN right now, hoping lloy will keep rising to enable me too, OR an 888 deal is done. I hear your argument that its unlikely to go ahead after all this time, but on the flip side i think that with the nevada deal, wink situation and results, maybe they were waiting to get those key issues out the way before agreeing a price. Either way, after last fridays reports, if we don't get news of a takeover within days then this SP will have 10p shaved off it, possibly more if they say deals dead in water. Bwin def a good buy though

I heard on the grapevine that the majority shareholders keep moving the goal posts on negotiations, just as a deal looks near, they try to add something. Like the companies business, this is a pure gamble. I'm in too high at 47p and thought seriously about getting out with 500 profit last week, my greed may make me rue the decision not too. we will see. On a positive, there has been NO statement to say the deals have fallen through after four months, so maybe we are days away, but surely if a deal is to be done or not, some finality must come soon.

an exciting week watching this share. Can't wait for next week. Trying to teach myself patience, picked the perfect one to do that!! JP Morgan cut price target on this today from 151p to 85p, Still better than current silly price!!

LLoy - I see an initial sell off (unless we've just had it) then quick return to 60's. It wasn't as bad as expected or at least factored in, the banking review will not effect LLoy that much as not so investment bank orientated.Thus nothing to hold LLoyds back now.....go the black horse. But i am a mere amateur compared to Lord graysland!!

My point is, discussions can only last so long, you wouldn't negotiate a house over four months sooner or later it is what it is now make an offer or not. Very strange

Yes, Matt Damon is the voice over, wanted to see this myself, unfortunately due to the general un-educatedness of society not many cinemas played it, is it out on DVD yet?

Fancy them too - whats your target buy in - Netley/.Ivaylo - dropped right back recently as has Rockhopper

lol, read quite amusingly your last post! Trading bad for me of late, but might be due to my patience again,TNI and LLoys the keys in the main. TNI still showing no volume, i'd be surprised if we see a significant rise there this week. LLoys not so sure on, this is news rather than Ta thats bringing it down, if Irelands not too bad could have a speedy bounce up. If it is bad, then who knows. Prty i would definitely be getting into if i had funds. Still want into Range resources rrl.

It has to be asked, what is taking so long in talks with Ladbrokes!?

I certainly hope Prty slips back to 1.85, would like a chance to buy back in. Also hoping TNI starts moving,market cap less than last years profit if i'm not mistaken, surely a sure fire winner. I also fancy 'Range Resources' - now if i can just rub my magic NETLEY lantern for his view on them!!!

http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/greenslade/2011/mar/25/trinitymirror-mediabusiness interesting atricle for those on here holding these and perhaps for those not - except netley who thinks there rubbish!- but as the article points out 185m of property alone should give them a share price of 72p. Yes pension debt and loans totalling 300M, but at a five year low and company is making profit. Personally i still fancy a few more.........

Buddy - your alive!!! - I think you must have seen my good fortune on 888 and decided to post to bring me back down to earth on my biggest holding - lloyds - i like arkk will be out at 65p. However i am in TNI twice at 46 and once at 68, so probably similar average to you. Thought this might turn this week, heres hoping for next week. GLA

news - ie, anyone care to put a view on how it will effect SP, is today just the beginning?

Bought these a few weeks back as apure punt on the ladbrokes takeover, now a Buy on british bulls and today this US news, which looks good and must make them even more appealing to Ladbrokes - or were ladbrokes also a temptation to Ceasors? - I'm currently now very optimistic on this BUY, so thought i'd share, well done to Prty investors this week, i got the last spike but was out of funds for this permanant imo rise

http://abcnews.go.com/Business/wireStory?id=13215096 Nev. Regulators OK Caesars Tie to Online Casino Nevada regulators approve Caesars tie to foreign company offering gambling online The Associated Press Post a Comment By OSKAR GARCIA Associated Press LAS VEGAS March 24, 2011 (AP) Nevada gambling regulators have approved a business relationship between the world's largest casino company and a London company that offers online wagering in the United Kingdom. The Nevada Gaming Commission approved the relationship between Caesars Entertainment Corp. and 888 Holdings PLC on Thursday. The vote marks the first time regulators have explicitly allowed a casino operator to do significant business with a foreign company that offers gambling on the Internet. Caesars and 888 executives and lawyers told the commission they have been careful in assessing their relationship and the legalities of Internet gambling. 888 stopped offering online wagers in the United States after a federal law in 2006 made it illegal. Earlier Thursday, Nevada lawmakers heard testimony in Carson City about a bill that would legalize online poker. Thu 18:30mozartprodigymulledwine40.25No Opinion Nice find - do you have a link for E/K cawkwell? cheers!Thu 17:35mulledwine88840.25No Opinion An extract from the diaries of infamous bear raider Evil Knievil 888 Holdings (888) has done a deal whereby it acquires Wink Bingo for c.GBP25m where well over half is payable over the next year or so. As a result Wink Bingo has agreed restrictions upon management and restricted distributions for the duration. This seems perfectly reasonable to me. However, the market seems to think that Ladbrokes cannot take over 888 in the interim. This is nonsense and if it is the case that 888's share price has been depressed as a result, 888 is a buy. Ladbrokes might pay as much as 70p per share. It is worth remembering that the acquisition of Wink Bingo has not entailed new shares being issued by 888 - so recent dealings in 888 signify nothing.Wed 19:18sharestalkerSHARE PRICE 44.5P ????????44.50No Opinion What ?Wed 18:50SirF.BadloseRoll up, roll up 44.50No Opinion Chase the forum....place your bets.........welcome Netters. ;o)Sat 10:19SirBobWink39.25No Opinion Wink Bingo payments been split over three years, and 888 need there permission to issue Divi's during that period.

Just saw this blog on LLoyds board of interest, so cut and paste it -interesting.'' you have referenced low volume but check out this comment on londonstockexchange site lloyds area. Risk Analysis The security's level of risk is currently under control, with daily volatility at 2.363, whilst daily volume remains high, having risen above the 1-month volume moving average in the last session. Lloyds Banking Group Plc's stable movement suggests that institutional investors have an interest in the security, to the extent that they can exert a high degree of control over its trend, which appears orderly and without strong fluctuation

On IG one bank put them as a hold today with target price 60p, TNI given £1 target by Panure. I really really am trying to learn patience and LLoy is extremely testing it, my Av is 61.8 for 50,000. Patience cost me dear last time selling for couple of hundred profit which the following week would have been 3k when they last hit 69p. TNI also testing my patience, but thats genuine impatience on my part!! No money for PRTY how frustrating!!

My TA buddy on Prty reckons the bounce is about to begin with this one -lets hope

Totally agree
