All the market is down today ,especially tech, also many have gone ex divi. Growth stocks like DT are valued differently ,so the P/E is always high. Forget about the daily movement of the SP . Its about waiting for the RNS with the bid
Win/ You can bask in the sun knowing that you are about to come into a ton of money, Have a nice holiday!!
When you buy the whole company you expect to pay more then when buying a percentage, They want our technology which i always thought is the best ,thats why they are queuing up to buy it. £10 a share would be peanuts for the likes of Cisco or CrowdStrike. I wouldnt be surprised if the offer from TB is over £8 followed by a bid from CrowdStrike around the £10 mark
CR888/if it wasnt for ML there would not be a DT
CR88 Your talking nonsense, ML doesnt need to sell his shears in DT. He took out insurance years ago to cover legal fees and fines
nidec/i agree why not let it run. My gut feeling is this is a mutual deal. I dont think the management have the cash required to take market share. I suspect this deal will go through
Other bidders will not come in until late in the day. i wonder how much our management want this,they have been selling of late.
I expect it to be around 650p. I just want it done now,i hate uncertainty.
Seak/I agree,i am holding some Haleon from the GSK split,they are cheap,i will add
Win/ive already started doing my research on other stuff ,although i will probably keep most of it in cash
Win/yeah,a bit of a turnup to say the least. Ive got 110K shares at 495p so i should get out on top. If the deal goes through. You should double your money on this.
I believe any offer will have to start with a 6 for it to be accepted
Hell/ you should sell out and move on,you will feel better
blader/ i tend to top slice,when one of mine looks like its got ahead of the game. Years ago i would sell out and come to regret it
The final results are in September
Win/the BoE governor opened his big mouth and the market priced in a interest rate rise. Keep the faith and be lucky
bob/not interested where we finish today. I have a 2-3 year horizon
Unlike Sheltie,i have no idea where the market is going. What i do know is DARK is cheap ,so i made my first buy under £3
Lending/it wasnt only Amazon ,they also turned down Google and a few others like Microsoft .To be fare to Buffett/Munger they admit that in their annual results there should be a section on "lost opportunities". Basically they wont touch anything where they cant see forward earnings. Thats why they dont touch technology ,until late in the day, when they have a moat, like Apple. I am not interested in making a profit or the fall in the SP. To me this is a "land grab" situation,i want growth
Warren Buffett wouldnt touch this with a barge pole. For the same reason why he never bought Amazon ,when he had the chance to. I couldnt care less about making a profit ,i bought a growth stock not a utility
