But the call is a very familiar and regular one to us older PRM hands! Peter called the GE deal 'within a month' on 8/5/04 (post 32643 on the other thread) and in Sept '05 said -
.............I expect the takeover offer to appear shortly after (or even perhaps with) the Interim Report on Friday. In calculating the price of the offer – which will be based on the agreed value – the present share price is irrelevant. The recent news on Intronn and Alzheimers suggests that the offer may be even higher than I previously suggested.
Regards to all “believers”,
Peter."
....and no doubt several times in between. It wouldn't be a New Year without another PS prediction of 'imminent' takeover action, would it?! Happy New Year, Peter, and let's hope this is the first time you've been right on PRM in living memory.
