Re: I'm out! LK - Fair enough m8 -- I get a few red mist moments.Looks like there is a nat's coxk in the lot at this mo, so I'm happy to take the mix deal as it's offered and deploy the cash (£383 per share) elsewhere. I was about 60:40 BG-Shell any how, so will end up with about 80% Shell after the cash goes kerchung!!I probably won't add to oil beyond that at this stage.Games -- Actually I was thinking of putting all on black (or was it red mist I'm not sure now!)

Re: I'm out! Damp,"Are you sure you should be on the flybridge ?"I'm impressed by the laser-like focus which you have directed at my posts! I should have explained that I have/had BG shares in four separate lumps. Two of the (smaller) lumps were sold yesterday. The biggest single lump was what I sold today and I have [he confessed] one other (medium-sized) lump still in BG (with a "max Shell B shares" election tag on it).You were right to point out the apparent inconsistency in two of my posts and I hope that all is now clear. You will appreciate, I am sure, that combining active share trading with jockeying a modest but powerful motor cruiser through the pellucid waters of the norther Red Sea while simultaneously updating this board on what the sam heck I am doing is a complex task, but I apologise for any confusion.

Re: I'm out! Sorry that last post should read fixed at a Shell share price of about 1470, and it's now trading at 1457 OK so .4454 * 1461 as I type = 650.72 + 383 = 1033BG is trading at 1029 so it would cost me money to do this trade plus stamp duty on top --- Eh!!!?Games

Re: I'm out! "Even with the stamp duty on buying Shell, rather than getting 'em via the scheme, you should get a better deal than chust sittin' on your duffs."LK - Not been following this as closely as you have so can you run the numbers here to justify this? My simple assumption was the value of the BG takeover was now fixed as of yesterday (is that a wrong assumption?) at 1070 ish?Given BG is now 1028, wouldn't it be better to let it play out?Games

Re: Jacta est tessera 8PK,"Just a touch dissed that I might only get 5% extra yellow and red"It might be a bit more than that because the fall in Shell today may make any last minute electors choose the all cash option, which will provide the offset needed to provide extra yellow and red.We'll know in a few days!LKH etc

Re: Jacta est tessera LKH.Welcome aboard.Appreciate yesterdays Bluey thanks.Right, time to move on indeed.What will be will be but I'm chilled out about the "full gas" B call on this. Just a touch dissed that I might only get 5% extra yellow and red according to your more learned estimate than the default and therefore still have to deal with some spare Wonga with associated charges on the roulette wheel...Regards.

Re: Jacta est tessera "I've take the bull by the horns and elected for max Shell B shares in the election."Belay the last pipe! Having taken that option and made that election I subsequently chickened out, because Shell B looked as if it was heading towards a point at which it was better to sell BG ... and sold BG.So I've ended up with cash from the outright sale of part of my BG stake (held with YouInvest); I elected for max shares for another part (held with FirstDirect) and the biggest part will get the default (held with Barclays) because their deadline came while I was sitting in my customary position on the fence and couldn't decide what was best to be done so did nuffink.Appy polly loggies for all that detail .... it helps me to remember what the sam heck I've done.Watch Shell soar away tomorrow and make my decision to sell some BG today the wrong one LOL!LKH on the flybridge approaching Ahmed Hamdi Tunnel, sinks back exhausted
