Re: Non-exec buys Hmm, not so sure about the takeover. Pfizer's was on the back of getting in before some US tax regime changes, which I've forgotten just now, wasn't it. Someone'll google it, no doubt.
Re: Non-exec buys Remember that Pfizer offered £72/share in todays money.
Re: Non-exec buys Bill - re "worthwhile buys" - "not necessarily massive".Bill, I'm impressed, to me £100k's worth is pretty big stuff. The other at some £21k is, ok, not sending out a massive message.
Re: Non-exec buys "Couple of worthwhile buys there, says Lupo searching for any good news."Yes, Lupo - not necessarily massive, but a vote of some confidence, nonetheless... no-one was forcing them to buy (at least, I am guessing not!)"AstraZeneca PLC (the Company) announces that, on 27 July 2017, it was notified by Nazneen Rahman, a Non-Executive Director of the Company, that, on 27 July 2017, Professor Rahman purchased 500 Ordinary Shares of $0.25 each in the Company (Shares) at an aggregate price of 4338.186 pence per Share.The Company also announces that, on 27 July 2017, it was notified by Philip Broadley, a Non-Executive Director of the Company, that, on 27 July 2017, Mr Broadley purchased 2,300 Shares at a price of 4282 pence per Share."I would also point out - as I often do, at times like these, amid all the wailing and gnashing of teeth - that the SP is only just back to where it was less than 6 months ago. The merest blink of any eye for us long-termers... the shares had undoubtedly got ahead of themselves with all this curing cancer thing, so maybe now merely a new base from which to perform steadily?Then again... if Novartis, or Pfizer, or Uncle Tom Cobbley Pharma Inc want to take it on from here, I am (at least) equally receptive. Come on, you know how it works... you start the ball rolling a £55 a pop, then sit back and let the company do its faux-indignant "... fundamentally undervalues our prospects" thing, but you know that's just for show - and that it ain't true anyway! And when you get to £60, they'll cave anyway... as will the rest of us. The CEO's off anyway, so you shouldn't even have to pay him off... so, all good? Next week? Get it out there before August... great, thanks, see you next week then!
