Bargains to be had

You don't know the half of it.

Who is the biggest shareholder of HKEX? Hong Kong Government.

That should send Alarm bells ringing.

As to timing - the pound is still cheap and Brexit impasse still exists. If Brexit dies after they buy the FTSE that will be a 20% uptick just on FX rates.

Bold move. Brexit is the gift that keeps on giving.

Just like when the rest of British industry has been sold off to foreigners over the past 40 years or so, and nothing to do with the value of the pound either.

So will you be starting a thread for each of those companies, or just the industry sectors?

The FTSE being owned by the Chinese Communist Party and Brexiteers cheer it on as taking back control. Shakespeare couldn't have written a better tragicomedy.

Brexitears.

The data implications are huge, but hey Brexiteers voted for this.

SG, I've told you before - get in touch with the government quickly and tell them of their mistake. They must be crying out for talent like you as an advisor. Quick, go now before it's too late and save us all from this catastrophe. (Of course, only do this if you can spare the time between posting on forums or doing plumbing or building or whatever it is that you do).

What is it you do?
 
Nothing to do with Brexit, companies have been bidding for the LSE for as long as I've followed the markets, the Germans have bid a few times in the last 20 years. The bid is only a 22% premium on last weeks share price and on that news LSE only managed to scrape a 16% rise, the markets don't think it will happen.

No. Companies need to wait until the threat of a no-deal becomes more imminent. There will be some proper bargains then for sure. If a no-deal happens then it will be like a turkey shoot.:ROFLMAO:
 
Anyway, I think I'd be more concerned if it were Sports Direct trying to buy the LSE.

Wonder how the EU will react to the Chinese buying the Italian bourse (Milan) - given that the LSE owns it.

Could you list the other 7 bids/mergers proposals that the LSE has been subject to and what happened in each case?
