<title>Re: Odey Asset holding</title>
<description><![CDATA[ However SP is holding up very well with no profit taking AND results are due (i think) 21st February so I expect SP to continue climb up to then at least. Whatever reason for their stake-building, Obey obviously think SP is undervalued at this level! By Cleevelodge ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[ I'm not sure that the 30% threshold applies to a 3rd party fund manager.  In which case they won't be forced to make a bid. By Swearword ]]></description>

<title>Odey Asset holding</title>
<description><![CDATA[ It's been a week since Odey announced their increase in holding by 24m shares. They were short by 36m shares to reach the 30% shareholding. Given the sustained high volumes in the last week - some days reaching 10m shares traded, I presume they must be close to reaching the 30% threshold, when they will have to mandatorily make a bid for the company.<br>
<br>
It should happen soon I think.<br>
<br>
Any thoughts guys?<br>

Certainly capable of a movement upwards although a significant rise in the short term is only likely on rumour of a takeover By Expenman ]]></description>

<title>Re: Dividend Payments........</title>
<description><![CDATA[ Hi Vivan,<br>
Thanks for the update, will watch with interest. Would love to think that after all these years we may at least get something out of the dragon apart from a lot of hot hair. Sounds as though i may be a bit better, my average share price is 4.25p managed to buy a load when they were around the 1.5-2.0p barrier which brought my average down loads. Would love to see this up around the 50p mark, dont laugh, its been there once so why not again at some stage.<br>
Again thanks for your reply lets hope it goes steady northwards.<br>

<br>
The div payment will start if they satisfy some bank covenants. Since both debt level is going down and operating profits are reported to be improving, I expect a small interim div to be paid this year.<br>
<br>
But we all hope to be rewarded by some takeover activity soon.<br>
<br>
I have held this for a year or so now but bought a large stake at 7.35p so my average is down to 12p. I will hold it for longer unless the SP goes closer to 18p.<br>
<br>

<title>Dividend Payments........</title>
<description><![CDATA[ Vivian, would like to ask as to what reason you give for dividend payments to start this year. As i have held PDG shares now for approx 4-5 years slowly building up to approx 290,000 i would be only to pleased to see some reward as this company doesnt  rush forward to reward anyone from what i have witnessed. Also do you think we will see a reward this calender year or next, thanks in advance.<br>

<title>Re: Bid for Pendragon</title>
<description><![CDATA[ Given the major hikes in both volume and price in just 7 working days would mean that Odey already have a client. Thus a bid is forthcoming.<br>
<br>
Also the 4 week volume shows trades of 77 million shares, but Odey accounts for only 24m of those. Others are also piling in in view of a takeover bid.<br>

<title>Re: Bid for Pendragon</title>
<description><![CDATA[ Odey AM  are hedge fund traders i reckon will buy up to 29.99% they will look to sell that stake to another either for control or consolidation with another company.[or already have a client in mind]<br>
If no buyer is about in the time frame they have set then the shares will be off loaded at a substantial profit the small PI's that buy @ say 14p will see the price [in the later scenario] drop back to 10p ish.<br>
What we want is for OAM to sell their stake on at a good price that keeps the ball rolling, and then the profits if any can be taken. DYOR  [seen it before] By share hound ]]></description>

<title>Re: Bid for Pendragon</title>
<description><![CDATA[ So Odey Asset Management confirmed today that they have converted their 24m shares of CFDs into real shares and therefore they are the ones who have been buying in the last few weeks and pushed the SP up from 7.40p to 12p in trades today, an increase of 65% in just two weeks.<br>
<br>
And yet even after the conversion of the CFDs completed on 30 Jan, there was trade of 11m shares on 31 Jan. That is they continue to buy large volumes.<br>
<br>
Only explanation for this is that they are building a stake of 30% so that they can make a bid for the company. <br>

<description><![CDATA[ I agree with you 100% about Odey AM (I have met them in the course of my business) and they often look at recovery plays - takeover is wishful thinking in my view (although I do own shares so hope I am wrong). By Brookie Boy ]]></description>

<title>Re: Takeover ?</title>
<description><![CDATA[ Cleev,<br>
<br>
For YE Dec11, EPS is estimated at 2.0p, With falling interest payments, I estimate the EPS to improve to 2.50p for this year and 3.0p for 2013.<br>
<br>
Based on this, I think 20p will be a good fair value.<br>
