Breaking news and expert analysis on fast-moving AIM and LSE listed shares
Disclosure: I own shares in one or more of the stocks mentioned. I wrote this article myself, and it expresses my own opinions. I am not receiving compensation for it (other than from ShareProphets). I have no business relationship with any company whose stock is mentioned in this article.
A couple of bits of excitement this Tuesday. First, you may have read from the UK insurance company RSA (RSA) that it was taken over late last month and that the exiting chairman was able to conclude that about three hundred years ‘the acquisition of RSA has delivered attractive, certain value for our shareholders and I wish Intact and Tryg every success for the future’. I wonder what I will be doing with the decent cash return they have paid? Certainly was not a bad buy a year and a bit more ago. It is also nice to see shares in Biffa (BIFF) moving back above three quid each today.
