Mastercard outbids Visa Made a few sells this week at different prices up to 37.7p. If there were deals going through at 38.7p then sorry I missed them. Now got about 2/3 of my holding left, which is probably too high but being greedy. If there is no further bid then effectively we lose 4.5p a share (compared to current sell price.) This clearly is 150% more than the amount of the outbid made by Barclaycard. As both bids had previously been recommended by the board - and accepted by Hank, people buying at this price are being quite speculative. Interesting to see that Hank has sold some of his holding in the market at above offer price. He too is hedging his bets.

Mastercard outbids Visa Nothing is certain. The shareholders might not vote in favour. I will be very surprised though if it doesn’t go through unless there is a higher offer elsewhere.

Mastercard outbids Visa From experiences offers can at times not go through , is there any possibility the new offer could be pulled or have they got some sort of guarantee ? In this case is the previous offer still there if Mastercard changed there mind ?

Mastercard outbids Visa I took 35p Ripley because it is quite possible there won’t be a further higher offer! If there is then fine I will still be happy. Hedging my bets, pure and simple. As always, I don’t have a crystal ball.

Mastercard outbids Visa Thankyou Rodger. You made me feel a bit better informing me you sold for 35p. I broke one of my rules and placed a “good tell change sell order†the previous night ( i seem to be unlucky in the share game , what odds on that happening ? ) At the previous offer price did not see the 7am rns so maybe lucky i got 34.8p . It was for about 52% of my holding . I must say i would not have sold if i had seen the new offer beforehand. What made you decided to take 35p ?

Mastercard outbids Visa Hi Ripley , I am certainly pleased at the outcome, not before time though! My understanding of the word Nemesis is that it would mean that Captain MB was my downfall - no doubt that is what he would have liked! Seems to be a very odd guy who I can only assume felt he had a personal vendetta against the company - perhaps a disgruntled ex employee. Very odd that he would keep coming back to post on a company he had no financial interest in - and only ever posting on one company. Perhaps a touch autistic (aren’t we all?). The new version of ii is such that the discussions page is fairly awful and as a result I very rarely log on. Only had a look see today as I wondered if there was any apology from CMB. Give him his due, he did fairly accurately predict how low the share price would fall! Sold about 20% of holding yesterday for 35p, Holding rest for time being on hope of a bidding war. Maybe greedy but am happy with the 33p underpin. Clad to read you made a profit.

Mastercard outbids Visa Hi Roger - Baron looks like you were correct on this one after all. Did you ever find out about warrants ? I see Captain Multibag who was your nemesis only ever posted on this particular share ? I see i first bought in September 2009 @ 46.45p But averaged down over time and well up . I see as late as this time last year i bought for 8.9p and sold most of that back for 11.5p The best buys towards the end.

Last chance to sell safel ADVFN: "As we get closer to 15 Feb the fear will rise and price fall. Will EPO try to lie 15 days late about the worst 6 month trading period in its atrocious history? I expect H1fy18 was anorher disaster: A) Record loss -£9m (if no fx gain) B) Turnover growth stalled at £16.5m. C) average revenue per transaction crashed -20% since H1fy17. D) 5 of 7 senior management (photos in accounts) gone in 15 months and 1 NXD. Rats squealing down the gangplank have scratched a grove such is the speed and frenzy of their departure from the sinking Earthtanic. E) Trading update will lie about how great is the oppurtunity for great new management to do great things with this great business with great Uberboi making the great move from CEO to Chair and great Hickboi making the great move from Chair to interim CEO. It will be great. Not at all plunging into the icy depths while the lurching Earthtanic band keeps playing. F) Sinking to 3p then insolvent Administration or Liquidation. Or maybe a massive reconstruction and dilution on eve of liquidation. MANDATORY SELL. Heading for 3p in 12-16 months All imho. Dyor In past 2 years EPO has crashed -5p three times. It will be four if it crashes from 07:50 to 08
0 on 15 Feb. 1.5 trading days to bank gains or cut losses? Traders with stop losses should check if they have any protection if it opens down -5p. Usually stop losses only apply during trading hours ie you get hit with the crash from 7am RNS to 8am opening. Traders and investors: Be afraid. Be very afraid. All imho.
