http://www.casinoonline.co.uk/blog/ladbrokes-edge-nearer-sportingbet-takeover-110823 he first news that surfaced regarding Ladbrokes' takeover of Sportingbet emerged some time ago. However, in the previous months this deal has taken a back seat while Richard Glynn and his 'galvanised' company have made numerous changes. But, thanks to court approval in Australia, the deal could well be back on. This is due to Sportingbet receiving approval for their bid to take control of Centrebet. Should this bid be successful then Sportingbet will be one step closer to meeting the demands laid out by Ladbrokes. The most important of these demands was for the company to only work in regulated markets, meaning that the Harrow-based company refused to deal with any form of illegal gambling. Following Sportingbet's successful acquisition of Centrebet their share of earnings from regulated markets will increase to 30%. This number would increase even more if they manage to sell their Turkish operations. These moves show a clear intent for Sportingbet to do a deal with Ladbrokes and could well be the catalyst for the completion of a takeover. As Sportingbet's products mainly focus on sports betting options, it's unlikely that Ladbrokes casino customers will notice much of a difference to their play.

Was berated the other day for suggesting a T/O was not on the agenda despite good rampers efforts Despite what it says here the transaction was a sell. ARM Holdings plc (the "Company") announces that Mike Inglis, who is a Director of the Company, today sold 150,000 shares at a price of 557.31 pence per share. His total resultant shareholding is 100,775 shares. http://www.investegate.co.uk/Article.aspx?id=201109011147504385N If a T/O was imminent he'd have held on - LOL

Down 12% in auction - still being shorted

Was recovering Then I think the shorters moved in,,,,,,,

Oh i have I first bought arm shares in 98/99 for 190 and sold for over £6 a year later with share splits etc There was T/O rumours back then as well http://www.digitallook.com/companyresearch/10111/ARM_Holdings/company_news.html Anyway the good news is Arm will go up today - as will most FTSE shares boyed by DJ rising GL with you 'promotion' of it anyway

I think we could see further lows in the next few few months - a T/O would be at a greater level than his but don't think it is an option at the moment March 8th 2011 - An article called 5 x overpriced stocks ARM Holdings, PLC. (ARMH) shares are trading at $28.79. ARM Holdings designs and sells microprocessors. The shares currently trade well above the 50 day moving average of $26.23 and the 200 day moving average of $18.60. Earnings estimates for ARMH are about 46 cents per share for 2011 and about 75 cents for 2012. This puts the PE ratio around 46! I believe the extremely generous stock prices in these names represents a solid opportunity to cash in and rotate into less expensive stocks, as these could drop sharply from very lofty levels. I would also note that some of these names are seeing repeated insider selling.

My advice to someone else was to start buying around 500 but be prepared to buy down to 350 in the current climate

Forgot to say there will be lots of opportunities to trade these - I just wouldn't buy as a long term buy just yet. GL anyway

Not sure why you are ramping this - you seem very jumpy that this should go up asap - no matter the state of the economy. You also seem to need to feel right all the time - not sure why I sold out of these at 650 just after a few directors sold at 621 after reading the report that said that ARM were over-valued. I have since read Arm's own warnings "We are mindful of the bigger picture and the semiconductor industry is likely to have a year of much less growth next year than this year, we can still within that context be relatively positive as ARM." Not sure why any newbies would buy after seeing another newbie post. These will be a buy again - but not just yet.

If you listen to the news you'll find that all tech stocks are up today on the HP/autonomy news

Up on the back of HP autonomy T/O

Full, value here LP 2525

Looked at the trades all week - not a peep of a suggestion of T/O unless some trades have been held back.

Calc A US billion has 9 zeros so 10 billion is 10,000,000,000 divided by the shares in issue 243,427 - 41.08 us dollars a share - £24.93 each ish Anyone check my maths???

If it was 10 billion how much is each share worth???
