Jtjh, you aren't forgiven as you bring that quote up more times than I've had hot dinners :o)) Furthermore, I seem to remember the quote was dismissed as a mis-quote anyway in the end. Please let go of it now!
To note in an RNS that PDT are "exploring exit opportunities" in an RNS is something entirely different - this is official confirmation (remember that every word of that narrative will have been verified by lawyers and accountants before going to print.
Like you, I won't hold my breath - an exit might take days or many months. But I agree - today's and recent trades indicate there's something in the wind.
Merry Xmas jtjh and all others here. Should be an interesting 2007.
