Morning all.

Good morning. Possible offer for INTU today. Once again an example of just how much the city keep selling down UK shares only for a party to step in and take advantage.

Closed at 149p I suspect the offer may be around 200p. My breakeven is 208p but right now I'll take £2 and redeploy my capital elsewhere

Good Luck with INTU - I sold out some time ago.

Good morning!

Yes I sold out of INTU at about 330 and then starting buying it on the way back down only to watch it fall to a price that to me was unimaginable when I started.

I've been lucky today. This gets me out of a hole. INTU was the only stock in my portfolio that was causing me real financial pain. I have other losers, but none with the kind of stake size I had on INTU.

I'm not sure what the bid price will be. 200p represents about a 33% increase from last nights close but it would still be a massive discount to NAV. I'll hold and see what happens.

FTSE down another zillion today on top of yesterday.

Actually not too bad for me which I'm thankful for.

Got a few dividend pennies to spend but I think I'll sit on that decision for the moment. Can't decided what my attitude to risk is right now.
