Anyone got any ideas for him? By scarlet fever ]]> http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:MEC.L&display=discussion&id=9254213&action=detail Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:12:00 GMT scarlet fever tag:iii.co.uk,2003:tst.9254125
Don't lose faith in MEC. Although my expectations have been tempered somewhat these days, imho MEC is still worth £3.50 - £4.50, especially if the Edda Media deal goes through.

They thought they were right in this case and shouldn't have been fined.
I wouldn't really expect them to make the same mistake twice except this time it is A-pressen in the similar position as Mec were then.

Question is how much influence do Norwegian media Authority have over Norwegian Competition Authority ?

Clearly Mecom and A-pressen can see their way around the law and the Norwegian media Authority are not happy about it.

The FT article states " The media authority said it would make a final decision in June "
So what decision is this if they have none to make ?

Regards MEC and Aviva. I dont know what is causing MEC to fall at present, it could be AVIVA selling in which case i think they will have arranged a buyer at a certain price and they will sell down until the price is reached and large trades will occur. It could equally be that investors are getting nervous and selling. Either way i will buy more before March 4 if we get much lower than this because nothing has changed.

I do agree about A pressen, if that falls through there could be a large drop, if so i will be buying on the dip, they have another interested buyer waiting in the wings and doesnt change the fundamentals.

I have no idea why Aviva have sold out so heavily. They got rid of DM and then sold more of their holdings...?

If the A-Pressen sale gets rejected by the authorities we are in big trouble.. Mecom has all of a sudden become quite a risky holding. By scarlet fever ]]> http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:MEC.L&display=discussion&id=9241161&action=detail Thu, 02 Feb 2012 16:12:00 GMT scarlet fever
