i cant find it, thanks. As for the drop its only 7% down from what i can see

heard last night about the coup d'etat happening in Australia, positives from this, a much hated PM out of the job, hopefully some stable governing in the short -medium term. What's the link below about? What's Mercators relationship with ACS? thanks

Plenty of potential in this share, its recently recovered from its year low, and from the bits and pieces that i've read there is no reason for this share to perform poorly over the next few weeks. That said i'd like to see some positive updates push this higher so i can topslice soon. Patience was never a strong point of mine

thanks for the explanation, will keep my eye on this share over the next month or two

MM want to slow the buying pressure. Anyone who bought in on the rise will be stuck here unless they sell at a loss, guess it keeps the share price steady.

ah just read the posts below, but still, never seen such a mark up before! if i had bought 10,000 odd shares in this then would they still be worth the same in value, the difference being i would own significantly less?

wish i had put £1000 punt on this! incredible rise! am i missing something?

gemma4cash dont ever leave this board! you give me confidence in this share lol.. jks but its nice to hear positive thoughts and facts to back them up, have you get a target or are you stuck in here for the long haul? My own is 1.50 give or take, could be here for a while

saw this in the recent chat prior to the rise, but thought someone was having a laugh lol. This has shot up since, would have been nice if the poster who knew these would rise had posted some links or the news they had. Still well done those of you brave enough to hop on

if you look at the history of this share it tends to move negatively for a sustained period before rising sharply, following another period of negative movement. In other shares you may find trends where the movement is positive for a week or two but here the price always seems to shoot up, only to retract over the following days/weeks until the next bounce. The movement around August 09 appears quite similar to the movement seen this month however what followed (a period of negative movement would be unlikely as the SP is already quite low). A coincidence perhaps? I do know there are outside factors which affect the SP, such as Finance reports, company developments etc however trends shouldn't be overlooked, especially in such an uncertain time. The recovery is by no means assured and previous trends may be followed by the MM's rightly or wrongly. Just thought i'd vent some frustration, i can't seem to find any other reason for such a sharp fall today

Terry Murden: Sale rumours continue to linger as Aegon plots way aheadPremium Article !Your account has been frozen. For your available options click the below button.

Prudential and Aviva were one-time favourites for merger, while Standard Life pulled out of a planned bid for Friends Provident. Now we have Royal London, Britain's biggest mutual insurer, close to taking over Royal Liver, and Brit Insurance expec ADVERTISEMENTting a higher offer from private equity group Apollo. Clive Cowdery has made his intentions widely known, setting out ambitious plans to build his Resolution company through acquisitions – acquiring Friends Provident and now pursuing Axa's UK operations. There will be others, though the latest speculation surrounding Aegon looks to be little more than that. The group chief executive Alex Wynaendts will address analysts and investors today amid rumours sweeping the Square Mile that the Edinburgh-based division is up for sale. This looks unlikely. More probable is that Wynaendts will set out a more stringent set of demands for his underperforming UK business. A shake-up at the company in February led to some departures of key senior staff. The changes were announced as the group revealed that its life and pensions business for the year fell by 23 per cent to £943 million and the group booked a £183m impairment charge due to its investments in corporate bonds. There was some inevitable speculation that the Dutch company was running out of patience with its lacklustre Scottish division and with Cowdery and others hunting for underperforming businesses Aegon was a sitting target. New chief operating officer Adrian Grace gathered his troops together and told them they needed to "up the pace" of delivery as UK chief executive Otto Thoresen is under pressure to improve returns on capital and improve efficiency. The squeeze is showing no signs of easing, as Aegon is a recipient of Dutch government support, so the company is required to meet new rules on the amount of capital they must hold. Thoresen has split the management of the business into two new teams, one covering the group's life and pensions business while another oversees the distribution arm, including its national IFA brand, Positive Solutions. In a sign Thoresen is tightening his grip on the business, he will chair both board

what's with the 20% spread? anybody reading into this as some MM ploy?

Im going to stop reading the Telegraph, its giving me old news lol, just read about the Warner Bros takeover today. Considering the figures suggested it didnt seem to rise much yesterday. GC can you link me to the site you use to find recent news please

poor start today but its heading up now, lets hope yesterdays performance sparked some interest

hey guys lets keep this argument healthy yeh. I'm quite enjoying reading through TBG1s posts and the replies to him. Helps people in the middle get a clearer picture. Im going to go do some research regarding those pointers however, calling each other a 'ramper'/'deramper' is pointless, we can spot them a mile off. Please DO continue to post why you think this share is good/bad as you seem to know a lot more than most here, thanks

hearing people talk about thousands of pounds worth of investment gives me confidence in this share, despite sitting on a loss atm. It's been trying to break past the 1.10 barrier for a while now, so a good RNS should help it to do so. Do you think it will take a while for people to digest, maybe a week before the price heads up? and anyone got any reasonable suggestions of target share price?

nah i got in pretty quick, its already risen enough to cover the spread on my tiny bet lol. Do you think this will fall tomorrow as people might be looking to sell up

just bought 41,557 Shares, not much lol (nervous as its my first trade) come on MCR! show me the money!
