Would they use the money to pay down debt or increase there holding in BetMGM

Same here, doubled my holding yesterday on the drop in the morning, just to diversify my income portfolio a bit

In response to feedback from many shareholders, we have decided to review our shareholder distribution policy. We intend to maintain a total payout ratio of at least 80% of adjusted profit after tax, but this will, from our upcoming full year results in June, now be split between both dividends and share buybacks, with at least 50% of the total payout each year being allocated to ordinary dividends and the remainder being allocated to either share buybacks or special dividends, depending on whether the Company is able to repurchase shares at below their fair value. This revised policy recognises the cash generative nature of the Group and its strong balance sheet and reiterates our commitment to maximising total shareholder returns

I got to admit, I looked at the share as a possible add to my income portfolio, but on seeing the change in the dividend policy decided not to invest, not a big fan of buybacks as a private investor, may help funds if they are looking to offload shares

​Because Pentland owns more than 50%: Since Pentland already holds an unconditional majority of the voting rights (approx. 55%), they are legally permitted to buy as many additional shares as they like without triggering a mandatory bid.

​The Takeover Code Rule 9.1 (Note 11): Once a shareholder (or a group acting in concert) cleanly holds more than 50% of the voting rights of a UK public company, they have already established absolute voting control. Therefore, further acquisitions do not trigger a mandatory offer.

I don't think they care what the day to day shareprice is, the share buyback means their percentage of JD sport is increasing

Hmm, every trade is both a buy and a sell

The Share trades page, just looks at the price of the trade and determines if it is closer to the Bid or the Ask price, to guess if it is a buy or sell

Hmm, I'm not sure they will have to make a bid, as they are using Total Return Swaps, which give them with financial exposure, but not voting rights, which remain with the owner of the shares

I've bought some too, inflation data out tomorrow and BOE decision on Thursday, my guess is they will hold, given the weak state of the UK economy and Oil prices falling

should be a good day monday

World cup fever, need the latest shirt to wear while watching the games

Hold guys, don't let them get your shares cheap, burn the shorters

I got a feeling some are employed by the shorting companies to talk the price down, if you check the profile dormant for years and then only comment on one company

There is a RNS out, just pubilshed Opening Position Disclosure – Castlelake, L.P., my guess is this is the reason for the rise in the USA

I'm not a fan of Labour, but John Healey came across as a honest and honourable man, his resignation is a big hit to Starmer, but I do fear that Burnham would be even worse for the countries fiscal stability

You have to also factor in the copper price is up 40% in the last year and CAML are not using hedging, so it all goes into profits, where will the copper price be in 5 years time, lots of demand out there
