Ah yes, to be an 'insider' with that information to hand before it is released publicly.

The information was released before market open today, as soon as the auction period ended you can see that price movement. It's dropped a little but still up from market close yesterday:

But the question is, will this continue to rise off the back of the news or was this a short lived bull movement?

From what I've seen such huge gaps are permanent and never get filled (most recently example was when Red Hat shares skyrocketed after the company got acquired by IBM), but retail traders never get to enjoy the big gains after the news is released.  Fortunate are those who were holding long positions overnight though :D

This is true. When trying to buy this morning, due to the large amount of buy orders and limited sell orders, you more than likely wouldn't have been getting last nights close :(

From 20th January:

Investegate: Recommended cash acquisition for Sirius Minerals

This part caught my eye.

Quote

The Acquisition shall be put to Sirius Shareholders at the Court Meeting and at the General Meeting. In order to become Effective, the Scheme must be approved by a majority in number of the Sirius Shareholders voting at the Court Meeting, either in person or by proxy, representing at least 75 per cent. in value of the Sirius Shares voted. In addition, a special resolution implementing the Scheme must be passed by Sirius Shareholders representing at least 75 per cent. of votes cast at the General Meeting.

Sirius supposedly has a large number of small private investors.  On other discussion forums there are some very vocal and angry shareholders who say that they are going to vote against the acquisition in the belief that a better offer is forthcoming.

I'm wondering whether more than 25% of shareholders will vote against the acquisition.   If that happens then I think Sirius will go into liquidation.  I'm considering another short just before the meeting.

It appears that a few institutional investors are buying Sirius shares, so much so that they've bid the share price above Anglo American's offer price.  Presumably these institutional investors are bondholders who want to be sure the vote for the takeover goes through and liquidation is avoided.

The share price is now below Anglo American’s bid price of 5.5p. This looks like an opportunity for bondholders to buy below the bid price, vote yes and even make a small profit on the share price.

If anyone's interested, here is the part of the Scheme Document regarding the shareholders' vote:

Quote

As detailed further in the Scheme Document, in order to become effective, the Scheme requires, among other things, that a majority in number of the Scheme Shareholders present and voting (and entitled to vote) either in person or by proxy, representing not less than 75 per cent. in value of the Scheme Shares held by such Scheme Shareholders, vote in favour of the Scheme at the Court Meeting, and that the requisite majority of Sirius Shareholders approve the Scheme Resolution at the General Meeting. The Scheme is also subject to the satisfaction or (where applicable) waiver of the Conditions and further terms set out in the Scheme Document.

Notices convening the Court Meeting and the General Meeting, to be held at Honourable Artillery Company, Armoury House, City Road, London, EC1Y 2BQ, on 3 March 2020, are set out in the Scheme Document. The Court Meeting is scheduled to commence at 11.00 a.m. and the General Meeting is scheduled to commence at 11.15 a.m. (or as soon thereafter as the Court Meeting is concluded or adjourned).

You're very brave for going anywhere near it.

Looking at another share dealing forum there seem to be quite a few very vocal Sirius shareholders who want to vote no to the Anglo American bid but are too stupid to work out how to vote.  I'm thinking carefully about that short.

    • GX Uranium ETF (URA) Elliott Wave Analysis Function - Counter trend Mode - Corrective Structure - Impulse for wave A (circled) Position - Wave (4) of A (circled) Direction -  Wave (4) is still in play Details -  A bearish impulse from 33.69 is emerging for wave A (circled) and we should see further decline. Overview of GX URA ETF   The GX URA ETF, also known as the Global X Uranium ETF, is designed to reflect the performance of companies operating within the uranium industry. This ETF offers investors a diversified portfolio that includes firms engaged in uranium mining, exploration, and production on a global scale. As nuclear power is increasingly recognized as a cleaner energy alternative, the potential for increased uranium demand grows, making the GX URA ETF an attractive option for investors looking to capitalize on the sector's growth.   Daily Chart Analysis Analyzing the daily chart, the GX Uranium ETF completed a bullish impulse wave cycle in May 2024, reaching $33.69, up from $17.70 in July 2022. This represented an impressive gain of over 88% in 26 months. From an Elliott wave perspective, such a substantial rise is typically followed by a bearish correction. Since peaking at $33.69, the ETF has been undergoing a downward correction. Ideally, this would involve a three-wave bearish correction. Currently, the ETF appears to be completing the first wave of this correction, known as wave A (circled). After this wave concludes, a corrective bounce is expected for the second wave, followed by another downward move in wave C (circled), which will complete the corrective phase.   Alternatively, there is a possibility of a bearish impulse wave decline that could drive the ETF price back down to $17.70 or even lower. This scenario is plausible because the initial impulse sequence to $33.69 marked the completion of wave (c) of a supercycle degree within a larger bullish corrective cycle that began in March 2020. Given that both forecasts indicate a further decline, it is reasonable to expect the ETF to fall to at least $25 in the coming weeks.   H4 Chart Analysis On the H4 chart, the bearish impulse wave from $33.69 is still unfolding and is currently in wave (5). There is potential for further extension towards the $27-$28 range, where wave (5) is expected to conclude. Following this, a bullish correction for wave B (circled) could occur, providing a temporary relief before the next phase of the bearish correction sets in.   Summary Overall, the GX URA ETF's recent performance and technical analysis suggest that investors should prepare for potential downward movement in the near term while considering the long-term opportunities presented by the uranium sector's growth potential.

DIRECTION: Bottom in wave (iv). DETAILS: We see volume increasing on the moves up of wave (iv) which gives us additional confirmation we are in a corrective phase.   This Elliott Wave analysis for Walmart Inc. (WMT), examines the current market structure and potential future movements using Elliott Wave principles. The analysis provides insights from both the daily and 4-hour charts to offer a detailed understanding of WMT's price action and anticipated trends.   * WMT Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – Daily Chart* We are looking for a continuation of the five-wave move into Minute wave {v}. Given that wave {iii} was near the equality of wave {i}, there is an expectation for an extension in wave {v}. The recent surpassing of the 0.618 projection of {v} compared to {iii} suggests that the next target is the equality projection, which is approximately at 72$. This level could act as a significant resistance, and a potential completion point for wave {v}.   * WMT Elliott Wave Technical Analysis – 4Hr Chart* The analysis indicates that wave (iv) is currently unfolding, and there is an increase in volume during upward movements within wave (iv), confirming that we are in a corrective phase. This suggests a consolidation or pullback phase before resuming the final leg up in wave {v}. The end of wave (iv) will set the stage for the last impulse to complete the entire wave {v} structure.   Technical Analyst : Alessio Barretta Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!  
    • European markets are poised for a strong start to the week following France's first-round election results, where Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally party led with 34% of the vote, but with a smaller share than some polls had projected. This outcome lifted the euro to a two-week high and boosted indices futures, particularly the CAC40. However, uncertainty remains about the final outcome and its implications, as both far-right and left-wing parties have pledged significant spending increases despite France's high budget deficit. This week sees the release of the US non-farm payrolls report, and US markets are closed on Thursday for Independence Day. The UK election and the crucial second round of voting in France will also dominate events.
