Lol.....:-)))) Good one!

Sry that should read: Shire rebuff may NOT dim Takeda's appetite for a takover!

Here is what Bloomsburg is saying: Shire rebuff may dim Takeda's appetite for a takover! Weber�s pursuit of the mammoth acquisition reveals the challenge he faces in ensuring the future of Japan�s biggest drugmaker. With few late-stage experimental drugs in its own pipeline and a shrinking home market, Takeda needs lucrative new therapies like Shire�s medicines for rare diseases. That could drive Weber to keep pushing for a deal even as questions swirl about his ability to pull off such a big purchase. A group of Japanese lenders, including Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group Inc. and Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group Inc., have agreed to arrange 1 trillion yen ($9.3 billion) in financing for the deal, according to a person familiar with the matter.The financing total may still change as Takeda�s discussions with Shire progress, according to the person, who asked not to be identified as the information is not public. Sumitomo Mitsui did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the financing arrangement. An MUFG spokesman declined to comment. There�s a good chance Takeda could come back with another offer, and in order to make it more appealing to Shire shareholders it may have to boost the cash portion of its bid, said Credit Suisse Group analyst Fumiyoshi Sakai.

Hope there will be some positive rumours over the weekend of takeda improving cash to equity ratio and a new bidder emerging:-))

What just happened? Massive 6% drop :-/

thankfully shp sp hasn't suffered too much today from allergan pulling out. A price of 38+ is an improvement over last weeks range of 35 - 36

Allergan changed their mind within 4 hours of saying they were intrested in shire. Could have kept quiet for a couple of days..... Oh well, my prediction was completely wrong :-(

There will be other bidders including allergan. Whatever source said it wont , is unreliable. Allergan gave a statement only a few hours ago saying they might and before close of play in usa they are being remoured to not consider bidding for shire. Makes allergan look a company being run by children.

Article about 15 minutes ago reads: for Shire" as part of a broader review of its strategic options. Shares of the drugmaker declined as much as 8.5 percent on Thursday, though those losses were pared after CNBC reported in the early afternoon citing unnamed sources that Allergan wouldn't bid for Shire. Earlier, Takeda said it offered 46.50 pounds ($66.16) a share for Shire on April 12, with 62 percent of the proposed price in new Takeda stock. Shire said its board and advisers felt the proposed terms "significantly undervalue the company and Shire's growth prospects and pipeline," though it's willing to keep negotiating. Shire shares traded in London were up 5.9 percent.

That said, allergan boss is described as: Saunders is one of the most prolific dealmakers in the drug industry, having either or attempted orchestrated some of the biggest prospective mergers in recent years. He first became a CEO in 2010 for Bausch & Lomb before selling the eyecare company to Valeant Pharmaceuticals International for $8.7 billion three years later.

Allergan sp still down over 4%...

My prediction of another green day tomorrow has just been ruined....:-/

I see yet another green day. You wouldn't wanna be out of shp over the weekend.

Well done notgreedy, i bet you opened a few shorts too at that peak price lasting 1.5 seconds. Good job sir!

Who gives a crap about how takeda will fund it or even if they can afford it. There is money to be made here during this speculative period. Price will hopefully keep rising while the market guesses. I have no intention of staying put through take over if there will be one. So lets drop the fact finding game and enjoy this speculative rise. :-))

Very true! If this calm tips sp over 40 i might sell and move on

So silent boys n gals? Stock is up a percent or so, and the sunshine is a cherry on the cake today :-)) dont make me think you are all shorters :-/

thx Scfc Feels like a green open tomorrow:-)
