Some big buys today and some big don't knows. ERT is on track.

driver,interesting piece on the traders thread..

Apax Partners is mulling over a bid of about 200m for Postman Pat owner Entertainment Rights. The private equity house is considering buying ER and merging it with Hit Entertainment, acquired by Apax for about 500m last month .

Jimmy: Front Page of the Financial Express
Hold on tight to the cat tomorrow Apax Partners are mulling over a bid of about 200m but Chief Executive Mike Heap insisted we are not ready to sell ert we have only just made a significant move into the US. He warns if he were ready, he would command a huge premium (I agree) there is much more potential for much more growth, and some analysts predict the price will hit a pound with in two years making the company worth about 400m
He also said that a Postman Pat movie is also on the cards.

It may tick up then tomorrow with all this good news..

It may tick up to much, I want to top up tomorrow.

I think we are going to need one of these to cart our money to the bank driver!!!

I hope this is big enough??

wilbs
You couldn't get a bigger pic next time it looks a bit small on my 19 inch.

What a start driver , i was going again but the MM'S put the price up before 8 am..Still im happy.

I still might top up at this price 200m bid puts it at about 52p I think (If it comes)

Found this on the other side diver..

I had to go to bed, I was up at 4 (with only a couple of hours sleep 36c again) to go to work, I should have waited till I got up. Like you say long term I don't have a problem with it.

You can't win em all.
